Hi Team Gib,
I’ve been out of town, and so glad to be back, so I can catch up w/ y’all.
Becca not feeling great- while I hate it for her is, sadly not suprising. But with her determination, Randy’s ever present support, Anne there to push her on and the boys to provide her the inspiration, I can absolutely NOT see a way Becca can lose this battle. Not to mention the church uplifting and all of us praying. This has to be a slam dunk. Not an easy slam dunk mind you, but a guaranteed win. We are winning this battle and Becca is leading the fight. Praise our Lord for that and good Drs.too.

So ya say y’all enjoy visitors from Dallas? I’m certainly considering coming, I would have my own place to stay,my sis lives there, so I could have a multi reason to come- see y’all and my sister! So I might just surprise you guys one weekend, not too far away. Randy- I’d call your cell phone 1st – just to be sure there are no plans already made,and to see and guage Becca’s strength that day. I would never wnat to tire her out or come over on a bad day. But I’d SO like to see you guys. So don’t be too surprised if I show up. Are there anythings I can do here in Dallas for you guys? Or if I do come up there, is there anything I can bring when I do come? You name it aI’ll get it up there to ya.I’m so impressed at well Becca is doing, I’d just love to visit with you guys again like we did in the hospital when you were still here. Gosh- it might even be a nicer visit- no Drs coming in and out, just precious little boys. Randy- you can shoot me an email with anything or times I need to know about before I start plannning a weekend trip up there, as far as Dr. visits and timing go. Shoot me a note at work if you don’t mind with any dates details I should be aware of.
I’m so encouraged by the news and the plan of action the Drs. are taking and the word that you might even come home to Dallas to finish it up.
Tell Becca I’ve had back procedures done to my back where they burned the nerves to try to stop them from firing and hurting so badly, to try to give me some relief from the constant pain. It helped until those nerves start coming back to life and regenerating. OUCH- you’re in for a 2-3 weeks of little jabs of pain as they regenerate.Just out of the clear blue- very bizarre.
No one told me about that when I had the surgery done. Only when I went back asking what was wrong- I NOW had stabbing pain in the area they worked on- but a different pain than what I had BEFORE surgery.They seemed to think that was all fine. I told them, “I bet you do think it fine- it wasn’t stabbing them in the cheeks of their butts, and as far as I was concerned- until they were allowed to feel and experience such PAIN, they shouldn’t be allow to have an opinion on the matter of how severe or long the pain is, and should make it their duty to allow as much relief with pain medicine as humanly possible- even if it meant knocking me out for a day or two until the pain eased. But then I’m not as sweet as Becca nor as patient, I tend to be grumpier- maybe cause it’s been this way for so long (6 years, I’m just fed up with it. Becca now is TRULY AN ANGEL, and I am filling out the paperwork and applying to have her made a living angel. She has proven her worth and strength in God’s eyes. Just by her actions everyday. I need lessons from her.

God says he never gives us more than we can take,and Becca has shown him she has the faith and strength and that she WILL handle all he asks of her with grace, humor,faith and love.

In my book- she’s been elevated to angel status.

Well- it’s late and I am rambling in this note. I need to go to bed, but found I couldn’t stop wondering what the latest blog update was. I’ve missed it since last Thu.- I was in BOS until yesterday.

I’m so beyond thrilled that y’all are speeding down a good road to recovery and may get back here even sooner than we thought. Tell Becca not to worry about Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas- y’all have a support system here that can take the kids, cook for them all and help decorate so the boys feel the sprirt of the seasons. We will get y’all through this in any way you need it done. I’ll call you as soon as I find some possible visit dates.
Better close for now. Love you guys.
Sherry
