The FOURTH OF JULY!!!!

Wow. It's that time of year again to start plotting and planning our journeys to the motherland of NJ. Here's the news from Liz about the 4th. Be there or be missed...

IT'S ALMOST HERE !!!     THE FOURTH OF JULY !!!   and we are already planning for the fireworks (hmmmnn) and fun.    I am hoping you can add your sparkle to the day..

The day is July fourth, the time 1:PM.  The party will end when the kiddies get too cranky - and that is for each parent to decide.     All you have to bring is a smile,  a dessert to share, a beach towel and maybe a chair if convenient.  The food and drink will all be here.

We are having 2  special events this year - !. BERNADETTE NOLL WILL BE SIGNING HER NEW BOOK, " MAKE STUFF TOGETHER"  AND EVERY FAMILY WILL RECEIVE THEIR OWN COPY HOT OFF THE PRESS  June 20th..     2.   A BEST DESSERT CONTEST WITH JUDGES AND A BIGGER AND BETTER PRIZE THAN LAST YEAR.

Come and meet the several new babies and new friends who have joined our families this year .   And we will celebrate the lives of Alma and Curtis who went to hang out with Dean.

On July 3rd at 4 PM we will have a memorial for them both with pizza afterwards, all in my back yard.   Join us if convenient.

Pray for sun  and safe trips for all.     hugs, all around,   Liz,  Aunt Liz,  GMa, friend Liz, I met you once Liz, &  neighbor

They returned home tired but happy

Well, one month and one day later, Liz is returning home sweet trailer, this afternoon, March 7th. The infection is healed. The picc line will be removed. Damien is there with her today and Justin arrives tonight. She is happy to get back home and looks forward to some real food, real air and real sunshine too. Thanks for all the prayers. Liz will continue taking them for as long as you can provide!

Miracles do happen!!!

Today, today, today we're having a birthday! TODAY!!! Liz Noll turns 86. And miracles fall from the sky as the test results show that her esophagus is healed, healed, healed. Hallelujah and thank you all! Now let's figure out what we can collectively pray for next. Open wide Lizzie! You can eat again!

Send some love to Liz

Could I ask you a favor? All of you? Starting tonight and every night until my mom's 86th birthday on March 1st, could you set your timers for 9:30 pm eastern time? Then could you spend 3 minutes meditating, praying, loving on her? Her esophagus was torn during a test and it needs some healing. Open your hearts and help close her esophagus. Send some love to Liz in Fort Myers! Thank you!

Hospital days...

You can read a little story about our stay...

Tonight

Nutrition begins tonight. Through a picc line which was inserted yesterday. Seems absurd that a picc line put in yesterday afternoon can only get the nutrition tonight. But that's the way the ball bounces around here it seems. Can only mix up that yellow lipid rich goop once a day as it takes several hours to get it all together. Looking forward to some sustenance.

Found out today that the hospital stay will be extended one more week. Ugh to that says Liz. That'll make nearly 3 weeks total.

Lizs' Heart on Valentines Day 2011


Hello all,
As it stands now, there won't be valve surgery in the foreseeable future. It seems the issues from the valve arent' great enough to warrant opening her up for a new valve. Risks measured = less risk from the current valve vs. risk from the surgery. My mom is glad about that. The esophagus is painful but is seemingly clearing up as of this afternoon. ENT did the scope yesterday with a camera sent through her nose and down to her esophagus. Amazing little camera. I might be able to stay until Saturday or Sunday - pondering what needs to be shifted around. I would like to stay and then Damien and Sophie arrive on the 26th. Thad has postponed his journey until he gets further news.

Spirits are a little low today but I think it's because of no nutrition. Nothing by mouth for 2 days now and really nothing much even before that. If it goes much longer, we'll try to get a nutrition IV put in (thanks Rita for that info)

Love to all,
Bern
