Hi ladies just wanted to update you on the progress of my Cousin Mathews daughter Angelina and his wife Maria's conditions.
Maria's white cell count is still high and the doctors still can't quite figure out what is going on with her.She is very tired but in good spirits and her determination to be with her babe is admirable.
She decided to sign herself out of the hospital so she could be with Angelina at the Neo-natal hospital. She feels her white cell count is just her make-up and is determined not to be seperated from her daughter. Please keep her in prayer that this is just part of her genetics.
Reading the book Nurture I can't say as I wouldn't do the same thing as our children no matter what age need to know their mothers from day 1.
As for Angelina she has dropped some weight,so she is now less than 1.5lbs. Maria is pumping and Angelina consumes 1ml per hour. 24mls daily that's less than 5 tsps.
Can you imagine. Wow!
But the exciting thing is she is very responsive to Marias touch and voice. She kicks and waves her tiny arms when she hears her mothers voice.
Shari all I can think of is Are you My Mother, it makes me cry at the thought of the bonding while even in the womb. Nurture between a mother and child does begin at conception.
Her diaper or nappie as Aunt Daphne calls it is half the size of a ladies handkerchief.
She is such a proud Grandmother and she wants me to thank all of you for keeping her family in your prayers and I thank you as well.
Still praying and when I receive more pictures I will post them so we can see the miracle of Gods healing.

Fom A to D
Do you remember when you had your first A+
How excited your mother was. She walked around proud and told all her friends.
Didn't you hate that?
Then came the B, notice she didn't brag as much
With a C came worry as we were getting older
But I am here to say that today I received my first D
This is something I never thought I would ever see in my lifetime.
The course I was taking
New Bra shopping 101.
Oh to be a B student again.
But the funny thing was the lady in the store asked me if I attended Desert Stream?
She attended our church before and said she thought she had seen me and then she said
"I didn't know you were a Christian" with a surprised look on her face.
To which I replied Yes I am and my cup runneth over do you think you can help me?
But the best part was (after she stopped laughing) she replied
I DIDN'T KNOW CHRISTIANS WERE FUNNY
I have attached a picture to what I believe she saw through her eyes when I walked into the store. Funny how we as Christians are percieved differently.When people know we are Christians.
We are definately not supposed to be funny and then to wear a D cup that's just being Blasphemus.

Mona Needs Top 20
Well Ladies after help from Vicki and Patti I understood what I had to do to post this.
So here goes.
Mona needs extra help.
Mona needs to be so triumphantly nasty that (like Cruella De Vil) just the sight of her makes you eager to see what she'll do next. ...
Mona needs a home
Mona needs to see a doctor
Mona needs to make a concerted effort
Mona needs a man who will love an except her for what she is ( Have That)
Mona needs now.
Mona needs to get out of this hell hole
Mona needs her own interview
Mona needs a mechanism for exporting transformations.
Mona will need to cope with what will be new
Mona needs to calm down and accept that there's nothing immoral, unwise, or unacceptable about consuming meat products.
Mona needs to believe in the existence of angels
Mona needs further exploration
Mona needs a new smile. ( Oh that must be for my cousin Mona-Lisa)
Mona needs to be put to sleep
Mona needs to take time off and relax with some television — perhaps her own show, so she knows what’s going on. ...
Mona needs some swimming lessons!
Mona needs to be a woman, not a girl. Especially not one with such an irritating voice.
And last but not least
Mona needs to have her head examined
