Remembering Dave Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 We hadn't heard from Beth all week . . . knew she was feeling bad, she and her family were going to come out to our house last weekend but she felt too bad. Anyway, heard from her husband this evening, she's been in the hospital since Wednesday, the yeast infection in her esophagus is so bad she could not swallow at all and has had a persistent fever of 101. Was so weak she couldn't even walk with husband's assistance, so went by ambulance to the hospital. Her Mom is with her 24/7 and her husband is holding down the fort at home with their two kids. Prayers, please, for Beth, she's had an awfully rough time with her treatment ever since diagnoses, a very difficult time, very bad physical reactions not in her control, and despite what anyone says, if anyone needs a hand held right now, or a prayer offered up for them, it is our dear new friend Beth. If she is up to visitors we will go see her tomorrow and will print this thread to take to her. She can't have flowers, fresh fruit, etc., due to the severity of her infection so maybe lots of well wishes from the board will help cheer her up. God Bless us all, David and Karen and Faith of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stand4hope Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Oh my goodness. Thank you so much David and Karen for this post. I will most definitely pray for Beth and will give it all I've got. Dear Beth, Please try to relax and not be afraid. I'm sure you are in good hands and the doctors, nurses, angels and God Himself will be with you at all times. Take comfort in that knowledge. I will be thinking of you, praying for you and hoping to get an update very soon. All my love, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So very glad to hear that your Mom is with you, I know I how important it is to have your mom when you dont feel well. My prayers are with you and your family during this time, and hope you feeling well and back to normal as quick as possible. I only wish you were closer so I could visit you.
