wow wow wow wow wow!

it is monday 10/29. we are now in Pittsburgh. Pulled into town just as the Red Sox won the World Series last night! Our time in Columbia was WOW. The first 2 days were very hard. We each missed Bobby so intensely. But Thursday night we had breakthrough. Hadassah & I literally flew through the air (ask me about this!). Thank you to Pam, Martha, Joe & Celeste, Danny, Karen, Lee, Holly, Peter, Deborah, Yvonne, Jeff, Marie, Julie, Brenda, Rebecca, Britany & so many other total strangers who loved on us & prayed us through. We ended our time at the home of Yvonne W. for some great food & healing loves & at the home of MOW where Michael was released to get on the drums with the band. I was WOW-blissed at the time & not aware that they had switched drummers until Peter told me. Michael sounded like Bobby. The place just sort of stopped suspended in time around this little boy entering into the anointing & gifting of his father/Father. For those of us who love Bobby, it was a very emotional moment...pregnant with so much love & power...really truly amazing. I had said to Michael earlier that night at Yvonne's house: I've been wondering who would be my drummer now that Daddy is gone. Maybe it will be you. Of course, I had know idea that Michael would be invited to play drums with the band that night. But God did. Maybe people have spoken into our lives that God has many wonderful surprises waiting for Michael Hadassah & me. To be encouraged & be hopeful. I believe the surprises have begun...Love from us....Mimi

Update on Hadassah & Michael

We did go to Bay State hospital in Springfield. Hadassah has a bladder infection & is on antibiotics. She is still not back to herself. What a weekend, what a hard hard season of life. Michael was blessed with a weekend at a friends house which he LOVED! Thank you to all who are loving in your prayers

Please Pray for Hadassah

Hadassah has been having a very hard week emotionally & today was in the doctor's with 103 degree fever. They actually thought she should go to the hospital but because of Bob's recent death & her grandpa being hospitalized recently, her pediatrician tried to improvise & kept her at the office for 3 hours while they tried to get urine (couldn't) & blood (stuck her in both arms but couldn't find her veins because they are so small). They made us tea & covered her in a blanket while we tried to decide what to do. Her temp dropped to normal after she sweated profusely which all seemed good. Dr Sickle sent us home & asked me to get a urine sample at home & call in to update her over the weekend. But now Hadassah is in bed, feels feverish again, has a listlessness about her & is sleeping. I am exhausted on every level.

(Michael is having it out with God right now asking legitamate questions about why our lives are so hard right now. He's wondering if God is really there or is He just a fairy tale, Mom, is this some kind of a test like Graham Cooke talks about, the Bible says God won't abandon us but it feels like God doesn't like us anymore & has left us. He's just asking for a little happiness on our family.) Hadassah was afraid to see the doctor because she thought going to the DR would make her die. I need wisdom, emotional & physical strength for all 3 of us to get through this & so that I can make the right decision of whether to take her to the hospital or whether she'll be OK. The closest hospital is the one where Bobby passed away. I thank you all...Love, Mimi

Good Report on Mimi's Dad - 10-5-07

Dad had a DR appt this week. He can return to his exercise routine AND there is no need to reinstall a pacemaker which is the very specific thing I prayed for! I am so happy. Thanks for your prayers!
