How cool would it be if mom had a mobile?


We were driving to church yesterday and thought we would get a quick update on Rick's mom's health. Since Rick was driving he ask me to place the call. We both have iPhones and in order to place the call you hold down the "home button" until voice control comes on then you say the persons name and what phone you are trying to reach them on. In this case he said say, mom's mobile....when I said "mom's mobile" it hit me...what if MY mom had a mobile? Wouldn't that be cool???? Just to hear her voice...
I could just imagine the conversation we would have....MOM, How are you? Did you really get a new body? I miss you so much!! How is Dad? Is he really not blind anymore? Is his Parkinson's really gone? Is his cancer gone? I miss you all so much!!! Did you find my brothers David and Dale? Are they there? Are they healed? Did you find little baby Sharon that was stillborn? Did she know you? What does she look like? What about Grandma and Grandpa? Can you see me from up there? What is it like? Did you meet Jesus? Does he look like all the paintings you painted of him?


My questions go on and on in my head....meanwhile Ricks conversation with his stepdad is over. His mom is not doing well. She has stage 4 lung cancer...She's on oxygen..I know.....it won't be long.....Wouldn't it be cool if our mom's had mobiles?

John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

More test...

I continue to have really bad arm pain at night in both arms but left arm is worse. My Arms feel prickly, numb, burning and throbbing. Interrupting my sleep although I am on several nighttime medications... I spoke to my Rhemotologist, Dr Jonnala on Friday ( she answered the phone when I called!?!?) and she seemed sure these symptoms were not part of Lupus but something else. ..Sooooo Today I am sitting in Gwinnett Neurologist Dr. Syed waiting room. To see if they can figure out why this is happening.... I am praying for an easy cheap fix...so far it's looking like carpal tunnel, which Dr says is not unusual for lupus patients....more test....

Happy New Year

The holidays are over. We made it through. I missed my mom but we changed things up and it was different than normal. Rick's mom is doing fairly good dispite the congestion and coughing. Ricks sister is having surgery to remove her tumor on the 6th. My Lupus is still concentrating on my joints giving me fits when I overdo and especially at night. But all in all we had a good Christmas. New Years we saw our kids and grandkids in Florida, my sister and her husband and spent New Years Eve with the Drummonds (Rick's mom) A day off to get the tree down and back to work today on the very cold Tuesday. Not suppose to get out of the 30's. Brrrrrrrrrrr.........
We are praying for a good 2012 cause 2011 really about did us in....
