Hey everyone, it's Diane.
First of all, we lost our email address book so if there is anyone you think would be interested not on this list please pass it on, thanks
Eddie and I left Terri about 9:15 this evening. They were just getting her ready to take her to her room. I cannot express how hard it was to watch Terri suffer the way she did today. She was even moaning during her sleep times. I have been with Terri through many things but today.........ahh ..... very emotionally draining! She just exhausted herself writhing in pain. I don't know how one person can deal with so many things going wrong physically, but by the grace of God! I know there are people who say, "again?", yes, again, imagine being Terri! After hours at Jefferson her temperature gradually climbed to 102.8. She was begging Eddie and I to call people to be praying and she was litterally crying out to her Heavenly Father to make it stop!
I know it would be a HUGE ENCOURAGEMENT to her if she was to receive a card shower letting her know she's in your prayers! Unless you've been there, you can't imagine the reality that once again, something is wrong. She is in room 9120. We are praying she'll be home Tues but we have no idea yet.
We do serve an awesome God and I have seen Terri lean on him and learn from these troubled times trusting that our Precious Lord has a divine purpose in it or He wouldn't have allowed it in her life (and ours).
Thank you so much for your continued love, prayer and support.
This past week in my devotional book I read something that made me think of Terri. A question was asked, " How do you keep it all together? How do you stay on top of this?" the answer is what I know is in Terri's heart, "If I took my eyes off the Lord, I would be crushed by the load".
In my trouble I called to the Lord, I cried out to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my call for help reached his ears. Psalm 18:6 NCV
Thank you!
Diane
