New Blog

My personal blog is the one at the top of the blog list
called If Only I Could Write Something Like That...
Please enjoy! Love, Rebecca

Hop on Over

Hi, everybody. I just now went through the filter and saw your sweet comments
from last month about our mom. Anyway, this has been our family blog
where I've had to intertwine my interests along with those of my family
members, so I am working on making my own personal blog!
It's in the works, just so you know! Maybe I'll blog more! Plus the months
this year so far had been pretty tense, what with Mom being off her
feet a lot, and other things. And though I thought of our blog every day,
and have mentally planned posts, and I just couldn't seem to do it at the
time.

Thank you for your prayers and thoughts right now! They touch us more than
you know. Feels like we're in limbo state right now. Our church and family
and friends have been so kind and supportive. The pain just doesn't feel real yet!
It did at the funeral and when it first happened, but it's just kind of...
I don't exactly right now. It's like it hasn't hit us full impact yet.
It's been hectic around here and we're all trying to pull together as a family.

The funeral was sooo beautiful, which is exactly what we wanted for
Mom. We wanted her favorite colors, and for it all just to be so pretty for her.
She deserved it. It was the least that we could do.

Been listening to lots and lots of 99.1 Joy!FM, and MercyMe! MercyMe
especially has helped us a lot right now, mostly Bart's song
I Can Only Imagine! We played it at Mom's funeral as the final song. Have you seen the
movie yet? We watched it again and cried again.

Anyway, giving you all an update on us. Maybe as soon as my own blog is up
and running, I'll blog more. I really do want to! Keep those prayers and thoughts
coming, please! Thank you all, and lots of love to you.

Love, Rebecca

Arrangements

Visitation for Mom will be 4-8 P.M. Thursday evening, the 19th, at Baue
Funeral Home on Cave Springs in St. Charles, near the Family Vision
Library. Service will be at 2P.M. on Friday, same location.

I still cannot believe this is real! That my mom is really gone!

It's Over

Dad and I literally just walked in the door. We all just got home from
the hospital. Mom is gone! My mommy isn't here anymore! She's with Jesus now.

Holding On

Just got word that Mom was bleeding this morning and needed a
blood transfusion. Her kidneys are shutting down! You don't have
to tell me: I know that's NOT good! They're trying to help her,
but don't know for how long. Please pray! Our mom is dying!
God brought her this far, if she can just make it through...

Urgent Prayer Needed!

One of the reasons I haven't posted much is because I'm trying to start my own personal
blog where I can post my personal interests, and life has also been kind of
drifting for me this year. My apologies!

But we are asking for your prayers! My mom, our mom, nearly died
today!!! She has been enduring several different health problems
for a while, and it's a lot and complicated to explain. But she had to
have open heart surgery today and a bypass! She almost didn't make it!
They found several blood clots, her artery was filled with plaque and so
were other areas. Her lungs were filled with fluid. She had a heart attack
early this morning. Actually, a series of multiple mini heart attacks!

Thankfully, she is out of surgery and in ICU recovery, but she is
still in critical condition! Please pray for us. We have been surrounded
by kind texts, prayers, family, and friends today that we have not
seen in ages! Their support means a lot.

Please pray that Mom will survive recovery period
and be able to recuperate fully after. Thank you so much.

Love, Rebecca
