I think the title for today should be "Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down".
Morning= UGLY
Lots of vomiting, nausea, confusion, etc.
Mom's blood sugar was 30 at 11 o'clock and since the glucose went up to 80 then settled at 70 for now. They will check her every hour for a while and then every 3 hours after that.
Leah (RN) said that the last time she saw someone with blood sugar that low, they were no longer responding. Mom was somewhere between conscious and passed out for a couple hours, which has to be a miserable place to be.
Since the glucose, mom has started to come around some. The nausea has subsided, color has returned, and her alertness is returning.
Pastor Bob from Riddle, OR stopped by and gave us all a real life James 5:16a "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much". Shortly after praying, Leah spotted the problem with the blood sugar. It was pretty awesome. He visited for about and hour and gave us some updates and encouragements on Aunt Donna, spent time with Dad and then headed for Riddle. It was a real blessing to Mom and Dad for sure.
Pastor Mark ( from mom and Dad and Troy and Maria's Church) will be stopping by this afternoon to visit and pray with Mom and Dad, so that will be great too.
Troy has been with them through this whole chapter and I am heading up there now. Carmen will be returning tomorrow to stay with them until they are released.
Please continue to pray for mom and dad to not be discouraged and frustrated with this glucose issue. I will update as I am able but not sure what the computer access will be like.
Troy, Kimberly and family

Sister,
I love you so and wish that I was there with you..
I was so glad that pastor Don got to see you guys and pray with you.
Just remember that God has PROMISED you that He will not give you more than you can take but that He will be there with you and give you His strength and Go thru this with you!!! He will NEVER leave your side..
I know that sometimes it seems like we are right there at the point that we cannot take any more, staggering all over that line, but He is true to His word and He will not lie to you... He is there!!!!And this is when He will take you in His arms and carry you..
He has a plan for you and it is for good!!! He says that He Will
heal you.. Grab on and hang in there Sis!!
YOU WILL WIN this stinkiin battle!!
I don't even have the words that I want to say to you but i know that you already know ..because we all share the same hearts.
love you forever,

Dear Cousin Deva,
Hi there my darling Cousin Deva! Wow, but we really need to thank the Good Lord for getting your blood-sugar levels up from 30 to 70! Of course 70 is still a bit on the low side, but it's still a
whole lot better than 30? I wish that I was clever or wise enough to write something that would bring a smile to your face and make you feel better, but since I am neither clever or wise; I believe that I had better just stick to praying, and asking the Almighty God, to heal you, and take away all of your pain and misery! God bless and heal you little one!
Since you also appear to be having problems resting because of pain; it always brings to my mind the bit about sleep from the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner: "Oh sleep it is a gentle thing, beloved from pole to pole. To Mary Queen may praise be given, who sent the gentle sleep from heaven, that slid into my soul!"
Deva, please continue taking the very best care of yourself possible, and remember that your poor old Cousin John really loves you one big old bunch!
Cousin John
DEAR SISTER
FROM THE WORD "SACRIFICE" WE LEARN
THAT ITS SOMETHING THATS COSTLY. WE
DON'T OFFER THE BLOOD OF BULLS AND SHEEP TODAY BECAUSE THE ULTIMATE
SACRIFICE WAS MADE FOR US. WE ARE
EXHORTED TO GIVE THE SACRIFICE OF
PRAISE. GOD INHABITS THE PRAISE OF
HIS PEOPLE. YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE
OFFERING THE LORD PRAISE WHEN YOU
ARE IN PAIN AND THE EVIL ONE IS
WHISPERING THAT YOU WON'T GET BETTER. BUT YOU MUST, IN YOUR
DARKEST HOUR OFFER UP A SACRIFICE
OF PRAISE TO GOD. ONCE YOU BEGIN
TO PRAISE HIM, EVEN THOUGH IT IS
COSTLY FOR YOU, YOU WILL SENSE HIS
PRESENCE STRONGLY. I KNOW THIS
BECAUSE IN MY DARKEST HOURS I HAVE DONE IT. NO SONG MAY COME FROM YOUR LIPS BECAUSE OF YOUR PAIN BUT
WHISPER A PRAISE AND YOU WILL KNOW
THAT HE IS NEAR. LOVE YOUR BROTHER DEAN
