Believe51 · 01-08-2009, 09:50 AM

Thanks for all the well-wishing for my Dearheart. She means the world to Ed and I. Right now we feel so helpless, so powerless against this infliction. We wanted to get her a wheelchair to help but she refuses, little 'toughie' that she is. When I called her last night to check up on her she was cleaning and watering the plants. Her doctor is really amazed at her fortitude. There is not a doctor around New England that has seen a worse case of arthritis EVER! Ouch!! They are studying her here to understand this disease better.

When I told her of my prayer request she replied in her Warroir voice:
"I don't know what you girls did but my legs are working at the moment." She truely believes that these prayers helped and so do I, please keep them coming.

Also, she knows all the names of our 'Winged Angels', Mighty Oak lets her know of all our losses........
.........and all of our victories. She is walking right besides us all in our journeys. She thanks us for the prayers and sends them right back to us. Unbelievable woman!>>Believe51
