Thank you for letting us know about your daughter, Ellie. My thoughts are joined with many to support her full healing.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Having just had a stroke this year I definitely feel for you and the family. Most stroke of this nature can be dealt well with surgery; mine was too deep in the brain, but blood thinner is working well thus far. Although frightening, many, like me, come through it quite well, as have a few other colleagues who contacted me.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Will light a candle<br>
<br>
Del (and Justin too) <br>

Dear Friends,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
2020 greetings from Pittsburgh.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
For some this email is first information about our daughter Eva. For others this is an update. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
We are asking for prayers for our daughter, Eva, our first born. She was in the Order with us in Chicago, New York City, Canada and Boston. If any of the "Second Generation got chicken pox during the summer '78 eg camp, she is the one who brought them from Canada!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Last Monday we had just returned from Pittsburgh where we had spent some of the holidays with Eva and her family. We had a good time. Eva went for walks and beat Carleton in two games of ping pong. A few hours later, we received a phone call from our granddaughter Rayna, saying that Eva had had a stroke and was in the ICU at Allegheny General Hospital, conscious but had no feelimg or ability to move the left side of her body and unable to speak. She had blood clots on her brain.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Not much sleep for us Monday night.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Tuesday morning we headed back to Pittsburgh, and during the day learned her condition had stablized. We stayed at a motel Tuesday night when we were able to say goodnight to her over the phone. She didn't talk but understood us. A Wednesday morning phone call to the nurses station indicated that she had been able to move her arm and leg and could speak a little. We arrived at the hospital mid morning and found her mostly resting with her eyes closed. Ahren and Charity were there. Ahren, Carleton and I sang songs to ber that she requested--camp songs, hymns, and Christmas carols. She loves having visitors and listening, when she can't talk. She is receiving food intravenously to prevent aspiration and also a blood thinner. She has had an MRI and another scan. Heart is good as is blood pressure and no bleeding on the brain. Her left carroted artery has a 99% blockage which doctors believe was the cause of the stroke. She will need to have surgery on it as soon as she is s<br>
trong enough, perhaps in a week or so.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
During the day she became more alert, talking more and joking with many visitors, such as pointing her red index finger ekg monitor and saying, "ET phone home." So, she is making progress slowly but surely. The main thing now is regaining her strength and mobility. We're not sure how long we will be here<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you for your prayers. calls, emails, and visits--so much appreciated by Eva and all of us.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
New Year's blessings!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Grace and peace and love,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

My mother died in March of 2001 at age 90. I spent every waking hour of her last five days with her. She was conscious and cognizant until about the last eight hours before she died. We had some incredible conversations on: What is death? What is it like to die? What will it be like after we die? I attribute the quality of the dialogue to, one, neither of us acted as if we actually knew the answers to the questions but we were both willing to struggle for some clarity. And two, neither of us tried to kid the other about the fact that she was dying. This freed us both up to share honestly and from the depths. I feel certain we both had our lives changed and our love for each other deepened during those five unforgettable last days for her. I would love to talk with a loved one about those same questions when my time nears. <br>
