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

Here is the latest:
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

Hi Ladies: I wanted to share with you a prayer request:
Comment by Irene (Paul's Mom) 3 hours ago I need some prayers and I know that you all will help. My stepson who in the Air Force, went in for routine laproscopic gall bladder surgery on Thursday at Travis AFB Hospital. The surgeon knicked the aorta with the camera, right above where the aorta splits to go into the legs. When she repaired the aorta, there was still something wrong with the aortic valve and blood supply was cut off to his legs. Travis didn't have the right specialists or facilities for this type of injury, but they waited 10 hours before communicating that to his wife and transferring him to Univ CA Davis Hospital in Sacramento. Once he arrived by helicopter there, they immediately took him back to surgery to repair all the damage done, but unfortunately it was too late for his legs. They took his right leg in the middle of the night on Thursday and took his left leg Friday night. He has fluid in his lungs and there is some concern about all the infection getting to his kidneys, although once they removed the left leg and then took another 4 inches of the right leg, the kidney function started returning. This is a 20 year old, young Airman, serving his country. Please pray for him, his wife and all of his family. Pray for peace for all of us. Pray for healing. My husband (his father), is there with him, and the whole family has flown out there now, and I am going to be joining them on Tuesday. Please pass this prayer request to anyone who will listen. this is a horrific tragedy, but we also know that he is still alive and with us, and we are very grateful for that.
PLEASE SEND THIS ON TO ALL PRAYER WARRIORS! Thank you, my angel blessings ~s

WELOCME Carol and Connie! Our sailor is stationed at Bangor WA on a sub. It is GREAT to have you here.
St. Pauls in Reno Carol? I've been there, and LOVE your Pastor Pat! Have an AWESOME Day billed with unexpected blessings~s

Wow, I've missed a lot. I'll have to make time to catch up. I just wanted to drop a note of THANKS to all of you! The four hours tress test went well for my husband (Dan). We will know the results of the pictures of his heart in a few days. My angel blessings to each of you~s
Thank you Jan. As far as we know she is recovering. Very scary for us especially when we can't be there to try to be of help. However, it is very reassuring that they have a 'strong group of friends' for support (the ombudsman told me this in an e-mail). We won't bother them with calling or e-mail to respect our dil's request; and also to give them all the chance to relax, rest and recourperate when they can. Our sailor is still deployed, so I am sure this is very hard on our dil.
On a UMW note, I am plannign a district team field trip to Gum Moon and Mary Elizabeth Inn in San Francisco. These are national mission projects. Anybody know about them?
Also, I wanted to ask what you all are 'giving up' for lent. Guess I could start a discussion - but wanted to see if there was any interest first. Mine is negativity. Whew - trying AGAIN. ~s

Good Morning:
Well, the doc said that the spot on Dan's lung had not changed in two years - so no worries; and he is good with that. Thank you for your prayers. Monday he has the four hour test in Sacramento. Then maybe things will settle back down. Thank you all! My angel blessings~s

Prayers for successful healing and being able to eat for our little angel Brianna. She had her cleft pallet surgery on Tuesday, and is home. Now for the hard week! Please pray for their family~my angel blessings~s

Comment by NevadaSierra on March 9, 2009 at 9:18am

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm glad to be here. Our sailor has been in six years - four in a sub. He is in Bangor. He will be going to shore duty next. Our little angel Brianna (14 months) is scheduled to have her surgery tomorrow for her cleft pallet - prayers are appreciated for all of the family.
Jan - you are so very lucky that your sailor is close. We are far away from most anything - base and him. Actually we are just as far away from him in WA as we would be if he were stationed in CA. Funny.
So, what are you all 'giving to God for lent'. What part of you are you trying to change for greater service - to do the most for the most with what you have? I'm trying (yet again) to give up negativity. Notice that AGAIN - have to be persistant with it. My angel blessings to each of you~s
