Sunday night

Hi everyone-
Just returned home from visiting with Mom tonight. She is doing so much better. She was so glad to see everyone and the kids! Mom didn't get moved yet to a different room but she will tomorrow. When we were leaving tonight, I asked Mom what she would like me to put on here tonight. She wanted to express how in awe she is of everyone's support and prayers. We are hoping for her to go home in about two-three days! Can you believe it? That was such great news to hear that she could actually be out of the hospital so soon! When she is feeling up to it, I will have her take over the blog and she will be communicating to everyone herself.
She showed all of us her incision tonight. I have to say, it is gnarly! It lookes like a backwards question mark or a kidney bean. I wish I would have had a camera when she showed some of the grandkids. Their faces were priceless. All of them had a look of disgust but totally intrigued! She was so happy to see the grandkids.
That's it for now. We hope to have good news from the doctor tomorrow morning and I will be blogging again tomorrow night! Until then................

  1. Hi. My name is Linda Brock and Susie Snedden spoke today at our church, Community Christian Fellowship in Taft, CA, letting us all know what what going on with Maxine. The whole church had prayer for her and will have her on our prayer list for continued prayer.

    My husband, Mike, is going to talk to Dan Schaffer at the local Christian Radio Station, KAXL, tomorrow and put her on their prayer list. They have prayer on the air every Tuesday, as well as continued prayer during the week.

    I have emailed our kids which are now scattered across the US, but they all remember Marty from the many years he and Maxine have come to our church, so they will also be praying for her, your Dad and the rest of your family as I know this is a family problem... They are so precious to us and to the Lord!!! Love, Mike, Linda and Robert Brock

  3. A shout out to the whole musical Hooper family-- Monica sent this to me-- the words to a song that blessed her heart. We sing it at Crosswalk too-- thought it would be an encouragement to you like it was to me~ love ya, Sharon

    Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
    Your perfect love is casting out fear
    And even when I'm caught in the middle of the storms of this life
    I won't turn back, I know You are near

    And I will fear no evil
    For my God is with me
    And if my God is with me
    Whom then shall I fear?
    Whom then shall I fear?

    Oh no, You never let go
    Through the calm and through the storm
    Oh no, You never let go
    In every high and every low
    Oh no, You never let go
    Lord, You never let go of me

    And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
    A glorious light beyond all compare
    And there will be an end to these troubles
    But until that day comes
    We'll live to know You here on the earth

    Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
    And there will be an end to these troubles
    But until that day comes
    Still I will praise You, still I will praise You

  5. Marty, Maxine and family...My heart sank when I heard what had happened! You were just here at Lighthouse sitting next to me and overflowing with your usual passion and love for the Lord as you shared with our church family! I went through a very similar situation with my mom back in 2001 and it is extremely difficult to deal with all the emotions. I pray for healing, peace and the comfort we know only our God can provide. I am thankful to your family for providing us updates on this blog - may God bless you and your entire family in a real and abundant manner! Love, Robyn Strachan
