Hey, friends,
We arrived at my sister Re's in Bradenton about 11 last night. Doyle and I went to the ICU to see Mama this morning. She looked better than the way my sisters had described her, but still, it was hard to see my little mother so sick, and unable to talk to us.
The news is good today, however. They've been able to turn the ventilator down,and her pneumonia is improving a little.
Doyle and I met his son and the little girls for lunch down at the harbor, and he had breakfast with his daughter early this morning. D left to drive all the way home this afternoon.
Tonight my sisters, brother-in-law, and two of my precious college-age nieces and nephews all gathered at Holly's for carry-out Italian and lots of visiting. I have taken lots of pictures today of the family...maybe I'll be able to post some tomorro
w.
Will go back to the hospital in the morning with Re.
I'm really glad to be here with my family, and able to see my little mother.
Hope you're all well. God bless each one of you tonight, my friends.

I"m only now catching up on my subs and am sorry to hear of your mother's illness. Praise God for the prayers that He has answered already and I will join you in prayer for all of you. God bless.
Family is wonderful. I am also glad to hear your mother is doing better. Prayers surrounding you all from here.
Dear Celia,
I didn't get to read you posts until this morning, and I'm happy to see you and Doyle made it to Florida safely. I guess that means you will eventually FLY home; you'll get to spend more time with your extended family. I loved seeing the pictures of your sisters and little nephew, Ben. Isn't he sweet? I loved his tinker-toy flower.
Isn't it wonderful that God knows your needs and the needs of your mother even before you ask? When I don't really know what to pray for all I have to do is say: Lord, help me know your will, and he hears me.
My oldest daughter and her family are coming to see me this morning -- bringing food so we can have a make-shift picnic. Today is MY birthday.
