I haven’t been around long enough to be familiar with Betty, but this blog posting brought tears. wish I knew this special lady. The picture with Russ is wonderful. Praying that she’ll fully recover very soon.

Another opportunity to try to touch base with Betty, and let her know how much I’ve been praying for her – and have sent many cards and emails which have been sent back! There is no way I would not attempt to tell this terrific friend how much I love her – and pray for her throughout every day. Honest!! She is truly a ‘wonder woman’ and a friend to all.

I miss her not being there to fix all my problems also!! I still can’t find my spellcheck, but that is not why I have kept trying. I want her to know that the four “Ms” remaining at our computers are sagging, though still trudging on, without you at the wheel. Well, sagging is an ‘all over’ thing these days!

I hope she will have at home care because this lovely lady, strong as she is, will need it – and deserves it. Did I say I love her?

Tori, this is a wonderful thing to do – maybe I’ll start posting. This is the first ‘blog’ I’ve ever been on. Even that cute Shephard Smith doesn’t get me on his, and that’s saying something!!

I’ll be back……..unless I am blacklisted!

OK, Betty this is going a little far, getting first Mommalloyd to post and now you are bringing Tori into it, a phone call from Russ, what next? Oh a visit from your favorite politician, yea, you go Girl!

No kidding, we send many thanks not only to Mommalloyd, Tori and Russ, but also Robyn and Dwight, they have all been so faithful in keeping us informed.

Our prayers continue to be with you for complete recovery, we need you in Myrtle Beach. Love Ya, Girlfriend.

Janice – welcome, glad you got in!

I’ve been keeping up to date on the carepages site, and reading Momma Lloyd’s updates on fantafftics over on gaithercommunity too. Please tell theMema that the prayers aren’t going to stop until she is completely well and that we miss her brightening up cyberspace with her grace and humour.

This is really ‘good news’ ! I’ll keep on praying of course. And I hope God is willing to heal Betty’s kidneys like he has healed my hubby’s liver.

I have been keeping up with Betty on her Care Page although I haven’t commented much. I have no doubts that the prayers of all her friends have sustained her these last 2 months. What an ordeal for her and her family.
I’m sure she and Momma Lloyd will be battling for their #1 and #2 spots again before too long.
Tori, would you like for me to start wearing a dinner-plate sized button proclaiming myself ‘TORI’S #1 FAN’? Just so you don’t feel left out or anything.

Thank you Tori for the update…

Just wanted to send a hello to Betty and tell her that I too have been praying for her recovering. It is so special that we come here and get to meet new friends that we may not ever meet in person, but out of this blog and in our own lives it is quite special when knowing that a fellow “bloomr” is down, and being at work and quite a few times, I might add a thought of “themema” would cross my mind – a, I wonder how she is doing and then a quiet prayer for her safe keeping.

I don’t believe God creates bad things to happen but I know He uses them as an example to show non-believers and mockers just what faith and prayer can do and I believe Betty is one of God’s miracles to show us what His grace will do for Betty and what it can do for us. May His healing hand touch your kidneys and heal them if it is His will.

Tori,
Thank you for posting the update on Betty. I have been following her progress on the Gaither Site and praying for Betty these past months now. I’m so thankful that Momma Lloyd has been so faithful in keeping us posted on how she has been doing. We continue to pray for her and for those in her life, Such as you and Russ, and Momma Lloyd!
Blessings to you all!

Everything about Betty is amazing! Even her surgery is incredible—-that medical science can repair heart valves damaged years ago amazes me. And that she survived this long with the damaged ones and that she accomplished all she did is unbelieveable……….and lucky for us! I am praying with you all that her kidneys resume working efficiently very soon! And I am praising Him for her good progress so far! God is faithful and full of compassion.

We are all so thankful that so many of our prayers have been answered as we continue to pray for Betty. I too, join you & Russ in praying to our Loving God to give Betty’s body the healing & strength she needs to eliminate the need for dialysis.
Tori thank you for this update/explanation and history of Betty’s medical problems.

Gracious, I would never miss an opportunity to pray for our Betty. I believe the success of her wretched surgery is due entirely to the prayers being said all over this world. Yep, she still has a way to go….but she is on her way and I know she will be back here in no time. In the meantime, Betty, next picture with my Russ…don’t stand quite as close, my dear. Love you!

Yeah! I am finally able to communicate with all of you. I have been reading your blog for almost a year now and WordPress has now made it so I could register to join the Babybloomr community. I am so glad that Betty is recovering. It is a joy when she is on the sight, she is so precious. I will enjoy getting to know each of you as the days, weeks and months go by. My prayers are with Betty and each and every one of you.

Only people that have been thru serious medical situations can have any idea of what you have been thru and are going thru. I pray for your recovery, also for strength and peace. So many thoughts can get you down, but His Peace passes understanding for your heart and your mind!!
