"Two are better off than one, because together they work more effectively. If one of them falls down, the other can help them up... two people can resist an attack that would defeat one person alone. A rope made of three cords is hard to break."
Ecclesiastes 4:9

Wow.... I am sure everyone can put their own meaning to that one, but wow!!!!! WOW!!!!

You and D are truly amazing people; this may have been a test of many things.... and I am so proud of you both!!!! Keep the faith!!!

I love you and God loves you more!!!!!................... Angel

EVERYONE PLEASE OPEN THIS AND READ

At last; it appears that there is a tenative date for Mary and Dennis to come home for at least a little while. Tenatively the date for arriving home is March 31 or April 1!!!!!!!!

There are a few things that need to be remembered; as Mary is fighting and winning this battle, but she still needs her rest and her care!!!

Although we all want to run with open arms to see her the first chance we get, please remember we just wont all fit in that house :) please continue to use the BLOG once she and Dennis arrive home for updates on her progress. Dennis will keep us posted on when we may begin to visit, fortunately Mary is loved by sooo many, that it will take Dennis awhile to get everyone in to see her; it will be short intervals, and only as she is up to it, but they want us all to know, we are very loved, and they would like nothing more than to have everyone all the time and all at once, BUT it just cannot be!!

When we do:

No perfumes, colognes, hairsprays etc.... keep it as natural as you can

No sniffles, coughs, colds, runny noses, low grade fevers, everyone on their best health behavior; her immune system is still not par, even sharing a bottle of water with Dennis is too much risk
for germs.

( I think sharing germs w D is a risk to all of us, bring your own water, or share with him at your own risk, hahahah!!!)

No smoking, please, believe it or not, even in the car on the way over is too much, her lungs are easily irratated.


No flowers, plants, live things etc.... blankets, pillows, homemade items, please if you are gifting, bring over in a sealed bag; the house has been prepared for a rather germ free/dust free environment, as silly as it sounds, we cannot be too cautious, until Mary is 100%, we have to all keep her safe :) Please keep in mind also, if you have a pet that sheds, if you would please leave your coat or jacket outside, sorry it is cold, but no animal hair would be best.

We love you Mary and Dennis!!!! Cannot wait til you can be in your own home and comfy!!

MMB

Welcome home, soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rest up!!!!!

Hi you two-its Aunt Sherry

I was just reading your newest update and just wanted to let you know that I will be praying that everything goes smoothly for you on Monday and that it is succesful. You said you were having stomach pain what is that from? I am also wondering how you are handleing the pain that I know you must be in, you said that you are useing natural pain relief and was wondering how that works? Are you on any narcotic pain meds at all? I am sorry for all the ?'s and I will understand if you can't answer. I am still soaking up the sunshine here in Flordia, trying to get all I can get for I will be going back to Ohio real soon. Spent Sat. with Coni and we had a very nice time, of course we went shopping but we were both pretty good girls!!! My niece Tiffany is going to the hospital tomorrow night(Monday) to get induced, her due date was March 6, so I think by Tuesday her little girl will be born. Also Sean and Mindy will be coming home the week of Easter to visit, and they are having a baby shower for her, it will be nice to see the two of them. Continue with your possitive thinking and your faith.
Love Always, Aunt Sherry

Aloha Sis & D,
Thank you Brother for typing for Sis. We're just always happy to hear from you two!!
Sorry to hear that there is another surgery, but as you said "if it is an end to the means" it is worth it. Kind of the same thing with Dorian...first time wasn't very effective, not aggressive enough, surgery # 2 did the trick. Whatever it takes Mare. Every step you take towards wellness gets you that much closer!
We are so encouraged that you are feeling so strong both physically and emotionally. You two ROCK!!!! Keep it up!!
We love you bunches!!!!!
Till later...

Aloha Nui Loa
Sheri
