Dave's mom has been in the hospital for twelve days because of three small strokes and now pnemonia. Dave flew up to be there with family and to help as much as possible. The kids and I wish we could go too but we'd have to drive about 21 hours to get there... we're happy to do it, but as long as she remains stable we'll wait. Jan (Dave's mom) is a "fighter" and wants to continue fighting, and so we pray that God gives her the strength and patience that it will take to recover. Jan is truly one of the best people around- in fact I fell in love with Dave's family almost before I fell in love with Dave. She has always been supportive, kind, patient, loving, exciting, and fun to be with. She has the best stories, and we can't wait to share more memories with her this summer!
My mom fell while painting some cupboards in her house and broke a vertebrae in her lower back. She spent three nights in the hospital and is now resting at home. She needs to rest for six weeks and then they will see about further surgery. My mom does not like to be still for long... but she is patiently counting down the days so far! We hope and pray that she will be a good patient and give her back time to heal properly! We can't wait to see her this summer as well and pamper her a little, since we can't be there right now.

Both of our moms were in the hospital at the same time... it was so hard to be so far away!!! They are both in our prayers! Of course we have to be thankful that Dave and I have both been blessed with such wonderful moms, and that we've been able to have them in our lives all of this time! I have many friends whose moms went to heaven already.
