Thank You--Thank You For Your Prayers

Hello Family and Friends,

Just a short note to let you know I'm still around. I'm so terrible sorry to scare everyone to death!!

This evening I can say I'm feel about like I did on Thur. morning. It brought back such vivid memories of 1977 when I was touched by God's hand and healed after 5 weeks in the hospital of a mystery major illness. Had massive infection in the right side of my brain that paralayzed my left side.

Another illness hit Thur. Sept. 14th about one o'clock.....with some vision problems about 5 minutes later numbness in right arm and side of face and 30 second the left side and slurred speech. But THANK YOU LORD I was coming out if some what by 12 hrs. and back to almost normal the next morning. I'm so very, very blessed! It appeareaed so serious!!

I had a spinal tap at about midnight Fri. Ever since that procedure I've had HUGE headaches when I would stand or sit.......ended up with a leak where they went in. Linda and Wayne took be back to the hospital in Denver at 1:30 today. They did a blood patch!! Took blood from my arm and place in the whole where they did the puncture in my back. Almost before I was moved from the table my headache was gone! Kind of sounds like a tire patch doesn't it??

The thing that is hardest for me to accept is my surgery to take the expanders our was to have been today and now I have to wait another month!!! But I know there is a reason for this delay.
One positive thing is that the resort will be closed 2 days before.

I need to go lay back down.....but felt such a need to THANK YOU FOR YOUR AWESOME PRAYERS.....THEY ARE PRICELESS TO MY FAMILY AND ME!!

God Bless each and everyone of you!

Loving Him and you,
Donna & Family
Ps...don't feel like spelling...I'm sure there are errors!! :}

Dear Donna,

We are at Mother's for a couple of weeks. She as well as we are thinking of you. Our prayers are for the pain to subside!!!

Mother's family is gathering in Marshall to celebrate her 95th birthday. It will be a very special time for her.

Grace and peace,
