Thursday Evening Update

Today was a busy day at the Mccrea house. Val started slow but as the day went on her strength improved. Val was surrounded by her loved ones and had good quality time with her family. Her comfort level is so much better. Her humor is coming through. We were asking her what she wanted to wear that was comfortable and she said how about nothing? We all got a good chuckle out of that. She gave Deanna a big smile when she walked in the door it was really cute to see.

Chris, Paul and Marianne are doing the night duty tonight keeping a close eye on her throughout the night. We have a new bed that is set up on the first floor of the house so that Val doesn't have to walk up and down the stairs. It has side rails on it so we won't be worried about her falling out of the bed.
We will make sure that she is not scared or dissoriented when she wakes up.

Val enjoys seeing her friends but please call first so that we know it will be a good time for Val, rather than just stopping by.

Val is sleeping and resting peacefully.

Prayer request:
1. We pray that we can manage Val's hydration levels.
2. Pray for the boys
3. Pray for Chris and the entire McCrea and Sloan family
4. Pray for Val's peace and comfort


Marianne, Paul and Chris

Val,
You have been an inspiration to me and yet you have never met me. I am friends with Chad, Julie and their family. I can honestly say that have raised you and your family's name to the Lord more than anything else in my prayer time. I feel I know you. The Holy Spirit surrounds you and comforts you and your family, every minute, every day forever and ever.

Hi - I'm a friend of Kelli & Dan Lawrence - Michelle. I would like to offer services to the family in a effort for all of you to stay with Valerie and not be interrupted by chores etc. I can do your laundry - pick up, wash and deliver it back to you same day. Or, run errands for you, market, drug store or whatever you need. How about clean the house, I would stay out of your way and come with my own supplies. The good Lord did not bless my husband and I with children, thus he had other plans for us to serve - we can arrange the schedule to accomodate you lovely people. Please call me to arrange. Kelli and I have been friends for about 10 years, if you need a reference. With all our love and prayers, Michelle 619-818-9467 or 619-231-1447.
