Prayers for daughter, Eva; update
Dear Friends, 2020 greetings from Pittsburgh. For some this email is first information about our daughter Eva. For others this is an update. 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! 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. Not much sleep for us Monday night. 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 strong enough, perhaps in a week or so. 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 Thank you for your prayers. calls, emails, and visits--so much appreciated by Eva and all of us. New Year's blessings! Grace and peace and love, Ellie/Elinor. :)elliestock@aol.com
So sorry Eva is having such a struggle. I remember her so fondly when she was just a tiny girl in the Boston House — trying to put piggy tails in that baby-fine hair, and taking her by train from Boston to somewhere, maybe Philly, on the first leg of a trip to Chicago. She was a wonderfully plucky child with a creative spark, and a real joy to be around. Prayers for her surgery and recovery.

So sorry Eva is having such a struggle. I remember her so fondly when she was just a tiny girl in the Boston House — trying to put piggy tails in that baby-fine hair, and taking her by train from Boston to somewhere, maybe Philly, on the first leg of a trip to Chicago. She was a wonderfully plucky child with a creative spark, and a real joy to be around. Prayers for her surgery and recovery. Grace and peace and love, Nancy Trask

Dear Friends,
2020 greetings from Pittsburgh.
For some this email is first information about our daughter Eva. For others this is an update.
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!
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.
Not much sleep for us Monday night.
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 strong enough, perhaps in a week or so.
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
Thank you for your prayers. calls, emails, and visits--so much appreciated by Eva and all of us.
New Year's blessings!
Grace and peace and love,
Ellie/Elinor. :) elliestock@aol.com

Dear Ellie and Carl, The intrusion of this pain that you bear has touched me here in Mexico. I didn’t know Eva, but I know both of you, and my heart is holding you both. I know that the Community that holds us all is standing with you through this. I pray for strength and courage for you. And I pray that the Peace of life that is always there, be in your midst. Grace and Peace, and Love, Jack
