Getting Ready

Today we prepare to head to UCSF. First, we want to say, "THANK YOU" to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. We know that every prayer and good thought is heard and responded to! Mom truly can feel the calming presence that comes as a result of your efforts on her behalf. So many of you have offered assistance, we are very grateful! Mom and Dan have asked that you continue to pray for them! You can post your messages here on this blog (we will share them with them daily) and TELL OTHERS so that they can be kept up to date on her progress via this site rather than calling our cell phones or hospital room. ICU does not allow phones and some cardiac and surgery units won't either. In addition, many people in similar circumstances have said that cards and pictures of loved ones and friends who are recovering from traumatic events do better and feel encouraged from the well wishes from those they know and love. Please send cards, stories, well wishes via this site and or by mail to them. We will have pictures in her hospital room and at home for encouragement, feel free to send a photo, card or note to their home: 12404 Oak Mist Lane, Auburn, Ca. 95602.
