One day at a time

Hi family and friends. Sorry for the break in posts. We've had lots going on with our little Susie so it's been tough to sit down and just write.

Thankfully Spring Break has arrived and yesterday Suzanne took a little road trip to San Pedro Park with Ray and the girls to see the natural springs. It was such a beautiful day and mom really enjoyed taking in the sunshine and spending time with her favorite people.

Over the last few weeks, Suzanne has spent most of her time at home resting. As most of you know, chemotherapy was not working so we've come to a point in which we are simply trying to keep her comfortable. The wonderful people of Christus Santa Rosa have started coming by her house to check on her and make sure she has everything she needs for pain and other medical issues.

I kindly ask for your continued prayers for Suzanne, particularly that God grant her the peace and comfort she needs right now. I also ask for prayers for my family as this challenging time can be so much to process.

Finally, I would like to express how grateful we are for all of the love and support we have received over the last few weeks. We are so blessed to have such an abundance of family and friends that consistently make sure we have everything we need. A BIG THANK YOU TO:

- Ray's wonderful family who in addition to taking care of all of us, always see to it that Becky and Ashley have a busy social calender. :)

- Norma who offers priceless company to my mother, cooks for our family all the time and takes my sisters on shopping excursions.

- My wonderful husband, everyone in my husband's family, Terri and all of my San Antonio friends who have taken care of my children over and over again for the last few months so that I can spend time with my beautiful mother.

- The AMAZING people of Pasteur Plaza Surgery Center who have donated HUNDREDS of hours to my mom so she could continue to receive medical benefits and a paycheck. Words could never express how much your generosity means to us and we are eternally grateful.

- To all of you who offer prayers and send messages... they are our source of strength and we appreciate them so much.


With love and promises to post again soon,
Lauren
