Hi Everyone,
I am so sorry that we have not updated the blog in a while. The MEGA SALE was a huge success! We raised $5468.23!! WOW! It was a lot of work and everyone worked so hard! We were in the Wal-Mart parking lot from 5 am until 7 pm! Paula was able to come out for a few hours and sit in the shade and visit with people. We had a nice young man visit that had gotten a new liver via Paula's doctor a year and a half ago...It was very encouraging! Now let's just keep the prayers coming that her number s called to receive the liver she needs!!
Wal-Mart also has a program that matches up to $1000. So we should have that to add to the total soon! The kids had so much fun running the Lemonade Stand/Bake Sale...they had some really great cookies, cupcakes, muffins, homemade toffee and breads to sell. It was such a huge blessing. We really appreciate all the items donated and baked for Paula! She is such an amazing woman and it is great to have the support of the entire community!
We also would like to recognize the class of 69- Norman High School. They just had their 40th class reunion and took up a donation for Paula. They contributed $733! Thanks so much for all your support!
We will be starting plans for our next events soon. If anyone has ideas please send them our way!
Paula is still hanging in there. She has some pretty good days and then a few lousy ones. She is having the fluid drained every two weeks now, so hopefully that will help regulate her energy level. It has been so hard on her since she has been the go-getter in the family for so long. She is not used to relying on people to do for her...It amazes her at everyones generosity! She truly appreciates each and every one of you!!! Thanks for caring so deeply.
We ask for your continued prayers for her strength and that the Lord has a plan for her to have a new liver and a full recovery. She is so ready to feel better and give back!
