Hi, from Ladeva, Warren and family, I wanted to write a note, for you who still occasionally still check the blog. When we wrote last, my sister, Edna (Eddie) was going to rehab instead of going home. She is now at home, but is still having a struggle. They finally ruled out that the nasty infection she had was staph instead of MRSA but was still real serious in her weakened condition. She is at home now, having some good and bad days. She went back to her Dr. in Federal Way, and the infection is now in her other elbow. The autoimmune disease has somewhat constricted her esophagus, so she has to be very careful of what she eats, so she doesn't choke. Two of the visiting nurses have said that she is having irregular heart beats that needs to be checked out by a Cardiologist. She feels weak and shaky, but is so happy to be back home. Would you continue to pray for her, that she will get stronger, and that the Doctors will know how to treat her as she has so many things working against her. Right now, her breathing is better, and her mind is clear. There was 10 days in the hospital that she doesn't remember. Some days she has a lot of pain from the Rheumatoid Arthritis, and other days, she feels better. We are grateful for your prayers for her. I know that God is the only one who can help, whether it is through the Doctors finding the right medicine or procedures, but the bottom line is that God is in control. I pray that it would please him to heal and strengthen her.
Now, a praise to God, for a good report for me. I was checked over, and told to come back in 3 months. I got the port taken out, a week ago. The first time it was scheduled, I got a sore throat and had sinus problems, so it just postponed it a few weeks. It is now out and I am healing fine. I have been enjoying life so much, and especially during this wonderful weather we are having.
I am driving and enjoying that freedom! I travel every Tuesday, to Toledo to go to oil painting classes, which I enjoy very much.
We went to our granddaughter Paris's concert, grand daughter Sadie's preschool graduation. This week we will get to go to see Brittain at his concert. It is wonderful to have a part in supporting them in their activities.
I have really enjoyed spending time with family, and friends. I am helping some of my class mates from school, plan our class reunion in June. Getting to go back to Church on a regular basis, visiting my neighbors and planting a few flowers are just a few things that I celebrate getting to do again! I believe that all of the prayers on our behalf were heard by our Lord, and in His mercy He has given me a chance to really enjoy life again. I will never be able to say Thank you adequately, but I love you all.
I don't know how many of you still check in on the blog regularly, but I will try to write a note at least at the first of every month.
I want to wish you all a very happy, healthy, and "looking up" kind of summer! We send our love. God bless you each, Ladeva & Warren
