Dear Ones,
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1. This verse can really hold new meaning for me right now.
I do have good news however. The 24 hr. stay in the hospital was just a resting place. They didn't do another MRI. Dr. Kaplan my neurologist didn't see any real concern. She thinks it might have been a sleeping pill I took and not going to bed for about 40 minutes afterwards. (I remembered other stuff I needed to do after I took it). Oh my....who would have guessed that could be such a huge problem. I debated all the way to the pre-op room Tues. morning whether to tell Dr. Baker what happened. He repeatedly told us it was the right thing to do.....even though he put a STOP to the surgery and admitted me to the hospital. My spell in Sept. was enough to concern us all. Dr. Baker said in ways it would be even better to give my incisions more time to heal....although they are doing good!
Well the news now is....Surgery will beDec. 22nd. at 7:30 a.m. 3 MORE WEEKS!! I'm trying to understand the purpose....there is one I'm sure! So we will be spending Christmas in Co. We leave for Tx. in the morning. 1000 miles one way!! Will head back to Co. on the 19th. Want to get here a couple of days early to avoid the altitude headache that might have been part of it!
Once again I can't find enough words to thank you for the prayers for my family and me.
I'm always amazed how God's word is just right for me on days of struggle. Tues. morning the devotional in the "Our Daily Bread" read..... The storm will not last forever. Yet, while it rages, you can cling to the Lord's promises of love and faithfulness, for His "testimonies are very sure" (Ps. 93:5). Waves of trouble and grief may sweep over you, but you will not be swept away. He "is able to keep you from stumbling"(Jude 24). OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN IS HOLDING YOUR HAND....(WHAT AN AWESOME PROMISE...DONNA'S THOUGHTS)....By David Roper
WHEN ADVERSITY IS READY TO STRIKE US, THEN GOD IS MOST READY TO STRENGTHEN US!
Stronger now,
Donna

My Dearest Aunt Donna,
I just heard this am, about your latest challenges! You never cease to amaze me with your courage and postitive attitude.
I truly believe there is a really good reason for these delays for this final surgery. We all know God has a time and purpose for all things in our life and we must be willing to be patient and accept what he throws at us. I truly believe he only gives us what he knows we can handle. I also believe he feels you needed the extra rest and time between surgeries so you would be strong enough to go thru another surgery.
You've been so strong and I am so proud of you! Just hang on to God's loving hand and this to shall pass soon, and will be a faded memory before you know it. I continue to take you to the altar with me and pray for your complete healing. I know this will be very soon!
I love you so much! My prayers are with you and Uncle Lloyd. Give each other a hug from me.
Exodus 23:25
"Worship the Lord your God, and His blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you."
Love you loads,
Rhonda
Dear Donn,
I have been following your journey. When I have tried to write a note, it will not go, will try once again.
My thoughts and prayers are still with you each and every day. I am so sorry that you have had to endure such a venture, but there must be a purpose and your outlook is so positive.
I wish you the best with your latest surgery and hope from then on everything will go well and you will soon be back to somewhat normalcy.
You are such a sweet person and my love and prayers are with you.
