This Kelsey typing for my moms dictation!
I made it to Kelsey's Graduation on June 17th, which was a huge goal of mine since my diagnosis back in February of 2009. It was at Cerritos College and with the help of Julie, my parents, Rob & Candace, and Rob's parents, I made it through the ceremony and I ate a good dinner after at Frantones with family. On the morning of June 19th I began to go down hill and I became very weak and I began throwing up again. But by the time the party started that day I was able to be outside with blankets in my wheelchair, of course, to socialize with friends and family. It was a great blessing that I made it to Kelsey's Graduation and I was healthy enough for the party.
The past few days though I have gone down hill very seriously and I truly need all your prayers. Tuesday was very awful, I was in bed all day only eating ice chips that were fed to me. I was barely aware of anyone or where I was, and not talking at all. I had no strength and it took everything I had to get up and go to the bathroom. Today was a little better; I woke up and took a relaxing bath with the help of Kelsey and my mom, I actually put on clothes and perfume (: and I was wheeled to the living room to sit in my favorite spot on the couch!
All of your prayers and loving support is greatly appreciated! I love all of you.

Jana, keep on holding on, my friend. Let God's hands do all the work for you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful blessing to get your much-needed strength to attend Kelsey's graduation. God, in His own miraculous ways, lets us realize He is always there for His children, especially in times of great challenges. He has blessed you with a great family and a wide circle of friends rallying for you.
Take care and keep your positive attitude and your lovely smile. These characteristics of yours have always been admired and respected by your friends. "Mind over matter" is a phrase that's proven to be true over and over again. God's help and your fierce determination to get well are all it takes. Keep on going.
with much love and prayers,

Heard you having a big hard time of it lately! No fun at all. But true to God's character, you were able to see your baby girl graduate from High School. Go Kelsey! So many blessings of family and friends. The whole situation has been an inspiration to the rest of us. Keep your faith. Allow God to do His Thing! Be patient and remember to think of yourself this time. Lots of tough choices up ahead, but it is good to know that you have many friends and family to be with you! Know that you have lots and lots of people praying for your continued faith and healthy well-being. Many hugs and much love! Betty and the NY Gang!
