June 7

Yesterday we watched mom's heart rate continually approve throughout the day. We were waiting for the cardiologists to come and give mom that little electrical stimulus to get her heart back into sinus rhythm. Well we got another blessing, because 5 minutes before they arrived to do the procedure mom's heart went back into perfect sinus rhythm and has maintained all night long. Mom didn't sleep quite as peacefully last night. She had another fever spike and drew blood to culture again. She seems to be a little agitated in her dreams again. She does seem to be a little stronger in her arms and legs. Yesterday we got mom up and she sat in a chair for about an hour while we gave her a massage.

Mom wouldn't be able to talk on the phone, but if you have a message for her just e-mail me and I will read it to her. We have been reading the memories and tributes you sent to me earlier about her. She is really enjoying that. We shed tears at your thoughtful words and we laugh at some of your memories. These happy messages keep a positive feeling in a room filled with beeps, bags and tubes.

hugs and kisses to you from grandma

My dear friend Lulie,
I loved meeting more of your family yesterday! You have a great posterity! I was talking with Diane recently about what it is like to be exalted. We both concluded that we know what an exalted person looks like, because we know you. Thanks for being such an example, not only for your family, but for your friends that feel like family. We love you deeply, and pray daily the Lord will bless you with the righteous desires of your heart! Keep fighting.
