The Mom Update (Oct 5, 2010)

Hi Everyone,
Again, I am very thankful for Mary.  Mary’s last update summed up the situation with Becky very well.    Mayo has been rescheduled till Nov. 4th.  Mary mentioned the reasons, all of which we had no control over.  It is wonderful to know that when we have no control over situations that the Lord is in complete control.  Maybe it would be best for Becky to gain strength before the trip… again we just rest in knowing that as much as we can do; we’re doing it.
It’s best not to ask what I think of the new health reform, but one of the things that I believe will work for us is that Becky will most likely be able to get on my insurance come the first of the year.  This will benefit her greatly and she will not have to pay the large costly insurance premiums.
Keep us in prayer as the new date will be here soon that Becky will be able to gain strength and we’ll make the trip and see the doctors that will be open to seeing her and her illness with a fresh perspective.
Side note:  As Mary mentioned in one of her previous posts she is now a “31″ representative.  For all of you who don’t know about “31″ it is a company that is based on Proverbs 31.    This company is a company that allows women to sell high quality products for the home and women such as handbags, totes, baby bags, home organizers, stationary and so much more for the home and you can get them personalized as well.
This evening UPS dropped off her ”box” of illustration bags and totes.  I was very impressed.  The quality was great and the use of the bags are endless.  I have to remember that she has these things for illustrations when she sells products.
So here’s a pitch from mom.  If you are wanting to organize your home, give graduates some totes for their dorm room to carry their laundry or simple create a livable area from a small space this is for you.  New brides or brides to be can use these for her own home or for gifts for her bridal party… you get the idea … it’s endless and colors/designs are versatile and fun.
As she mentioned all proceeds are for Uganda, Africa.  If you are not aware Mary is very involved with a mission called SOS (see links to view a great video and information regarding this wonderful ministry)  Mary has set up an account for all ”31″ funds to go into.  These funds will help with the cost of travel, purchasing or collecting medical supplies and so on to take with her as she travels there throughout the year.
Please remember her as you think of Christmas gifts or other needs and be sure to view Mary’s link for “31″ to view the fall catalog and the Christmas/holiday catalog.  www.mythirtyone.com/MaryFranklin
If you want to have Mary ship you a catolog to view “in hand” email her at maryelizabeth06@gmail.com.
Only if you’re wondering… Steve and I are fine.  Steve is busy with the office and so forth and I am officially off orientation this week and will be on my own as an ICU nurse.  I am enjoying my job… but I have never worked nights until now and although conditions for sleeping is conducive to our home (quiet) I still have to get used to it.  I feel like I’m loosing days…or is it nights?????
Much love,
Beth
