To Chris, Mary, Dianne, and all the Waltons family who have prayed for us:
On behalf of my mother and our family, thank you all for your prayers and words of encouragement. It has been a very trying time for us. Mama is continuing her recovery and the Lord is strengthening her daily. She is able to sit in her wheelchair and converse clearly with us now. She eats pureed food still, but her appetite is good. Our family considers Mama's survival and recovery a miracle. The doctors had WRITTEN HER OFF. One even told me the prognosis was "not good." But the Ultimate Physician did not see things quite that way and I am firmly convinced that the fervent prayer of His people moves God to action. Whole churches (most of whose members did not even know my mother) prayed for her and you wonderful friends here on this website did, too. My family and I can never repay you for what you all and the Lord have given us. The Lord may decide to take Mama today but you and the Lord have given us added time with her that we would not have had otherwise. We are most humbly grateful and will be forever in your debt. All of this has taught me NEVER to underestimate the power of the Lord - and a stubborn woman!
To Mary:
I know you have had your own personal trials and continue to deal with them daily. I want you to know that I will pray for you and your family. Please do not give up hope. That you would take the time out of your busy life to post this message to me speaks volumes about Mary McDonough. We all know you're a great actress but I know now you're an even greater person.

God has truly blessed your family by allowing you to have your mother for so long. Thank you for the update. She will continue to be in my prayers, along with the rest of your family.

People need to know that Walton Fans do not deal in science and medicine alone ....but there is always a higher power working around us if we just look and seek him out. He wants to be there for us ... and I feel sorry and pray for those who do not believe because they are missing out on a lot of wonderful gifts that God has to offer us. Hope you are continuing to do well and your mother's recovery is swift. If there is anything I can do please just send me a Personal Message and I will do what I can. All my best and unlimited prayers, Dianne |
