Hi Everyone;
Thank you for your prayers. I have set my retirement date for 7-22-09.The lay off will be effective on the 24th, so I was advised that to be able to keep my medical benefit (75%) of the cost being paid by the court that I needed to retire while still a current paid employee. I was put on 'administrative leave' until the 24th. So, that is why the date - to keep the medical benefit. Otherwise, we would loose that benefit. The 'severance agreement' would have taken away all rights that I had under the MOU, Policies & Procedures of the court. It is worth too much for our future. So, there we are. Thank you for your prayers. I'll be helping with Grandma & Grandpa once things get settled. Next week will be going to CalPers to get all the paperwork taken care of. Worse case I loose a couple of days pay - best case I have the medical benefit in tact.
Shirley (sailor's mother in-law) is home on mophine and as comfortable as she can be at this time. The hospital was able to rehydrate her. We understand that they will be able to visit sometime in the next couple of weeks. A lot depends on her health. He may be able to bring out littlest angel up to give his wife a break.
We all appreciate your prayers. It has been a challenge to figure this out. Your prayers have helped. My angel blessings and Navy Mom hugs to all, Susan
Our sailor is off of the Penn (sub) and switching to shore duty at Bremerton. Still a NUKE - always will be. We will see how the work changes for him - don't think I can understand any of it - but at least he will be above water for his girls~s
I am definately up for a September visit here in Nevada City for the NORTHERN mom's - unless you would rather be at a restaurant. Please let me know~s

Rutabegorez is just south of Chapman college, on the west side of the street, before you get to the circle. Jackie

The OC Mom's Meet and Greet are for those mom's in the local area or who cannot travel that far for the Main Meet and Greet at the end of August. But everybody is welcome to attend! I'm glad we are finally planning some events! It's been too long.

Hey Everyone!! Kimberly asked me to come and help guide y'all (that's TEXAN for you all) to the M.A.S. Special Hugs group. (I am not sure - but maybe she just wanted me to join California's group since she has been a member of the TEXAS group for over a year!!!)

Well, the idea behind the M.A.S. Special Hugs group - is that we send cards and encouraging letters to any military personnel or their family in need of a Special Hug! We have a list of them going and Irene's step son is one of the first on the list! Come check us out - Click Here - oh - BE SURE and bring a box of kleenex - the stories are heartwrenching!! Then run go buy some sympathy and get well soon cards and start making friends with your post office again!!
Thanks,
Brenda Sue
Proud Mom of Derek!!

PS - Kimberly, I'm getting out of the California group now - because I DON'T want it to be top of the list on my page!!! See you around!!

I wanted to share this prayer request with all of you:
Hi All,
This is a post from our PIR group leader, she knows Irene. Just to clarify its Colton (stepson) who is the patient and Paul is her sailor son. Sorry about the confusion. There is also something on the Molly Adopt a Sailor group but I haven't seen it yet.
Take care, Karol

Comment by Michele Z ~ Mom to David 7 hours ago Hi All~
Irene posted this on another group (her son is named Paul - step-son who had the gall bladder surgery is Colton):
"Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. Our family is overwhelmed by all the support. Colton is sedated and resting. They are trying to give his body some rest and time to heal before they go back and finish up all the surgical procedures. They still have to take more of the right leg, and they have to close up the left one. But, they feel it would be best to wait a little while and give his kidneys some time to start functioning better before doing anything else. "

So sad to see this happen to anyone. There was a link in the Texas Moms group to send cards etc. to Colton and others that have been injured or lost a Sailor, but for some reason the link isn't working anymore. Will update you as I learn more info
