My mom is still in the hospital until they can get rid of the virus on her bone! Please pray they can kick that virus outa there and she can come home this week! Also some staples came out yesterday and they have to re do them. Thanks for everything!

Update on Veronica #7

So, I talked to my mother a little bit ago and she has great news!!

1. For sure coming home in the next three days
2. She's recovering very fast now
3. No Infection
4. And...... the doctors have called how she's recovered this week a miracle. Such a miracle that she might not need any more surgeries (they had already planned for 2-3 more)! CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY
PRAISE GOD!!!!


Prayer request:
they found a virus in her bone for it being exposed for so long, (if you want pics let me know, i have a ton!) Pray that it goes away with the medicine that they've started to give her today!

Update on Veronica #3!

Today I got to visit my mom for about 2 seconds, literally- I peeked my head in and smiled and got to touch her elbow!!!!!!! :)

I spoke to her nurse and doctor in the family waiting room. They say her foot is healing well and looks good. As of what they can tell so far they won't have to do it again.

Right now she's really emotional, she's been through a lot. She's sick of surgeries, being poked and prodded, sick of tests, false alarms, alarms and stress.

Please pray that she continues to recover and that she gives all this pain, anxiety, and stress to the Lord to handle for her and that she wouldn't get any infections.

I know what room number she's in now but I'll post it sometime soon. Right now lets just let her rest. :) Thanks

Update on Veronica #2!

My mom had a rough night last night and will continue in the CCU/ICU for a few more days, to monitor her better and incase anything happens they're prepared quickly.

This surgery has really taken a toll on her body physically and also emotionally. After realizing she wasn't having a heart attach and that it was an anxiety attach, they gave her Valuum and sleeping medicine. I just can't imagine being immobile and pumped with tons of meds and someone else's blood while still in pain.

The doctors checked her left thigh where they took muscle tissue and her right thigh where they took skin and say that all of that is heeling well and look'n gooood.

As for for heel/foot, they'll tell us later today how it's doing.

Just got news that she's not recovering well from her surgery! Please pray that he body handles everything well!

The CCU.ICU staff didn't let me see my mom today since i have a cold. UGH! Why did i have to get sick NOW! I understand why they didn't plus the last thing my mom needs is to get sick. It's just a little frustrating not to be able to be there for my mom on a really hard day. But I Know she's in the Lords hands and I wouldn't want her anywhere else.

Right now I laid Noah down for a nap and before nap time we usually cuddle and talk about things he's thinking about and praying about. Today he turns and looks at me and starting crying, as these huge tears filled his eyes and his little hands ran through my hair he continued with... "I'm sad Ita (grandma) got hurt." The love and compassion i heard in his voice was something I will never forget. I love that he knew that he could talk to me about it, that it's okay to cry and feel for someone else. So as we laid there praying for Ita, he fell asleep. I love my little guy and thank the Lord every chance i have for blessing me with him.

My mom and dad with their grandchildren!

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!!

"I didn't think you were the working out type"

It's official.... I am a gym member as of 2.5 weeks ago!

I'll be blogging about gym adventures! :)

It's located on the corner of Mills Civic Pkwy and 50th st. My aunt has worked out all her life and her and my dad signed me up here and I love it. I feel healthier and i have more energy! I have gone everyday except for the last few days since i have been so so busy!

Bear is back!!/Joey Gambino is Back!

(yes, he has 2 names) So, Bear/Joey Gambino came home last night after vacationing with the girls on 30th street for a week! He's been quite the head liner though I tell ya. They we're nice enough to take him in while my mom was back from the hospital for a few weeks and the first night HE RAN AWAY!!! Needless to say we found him (a high school friend of mine found him! over a week later!)! Anyway they took him in again and now we have him back!

As you can see.... Noah is excited !

They like to make funny faces together!

A quick pic of my mom and dad and little Noah a few weeks ago! She was so happy to "relax" with her WONDERFUL husband and cutest grandson!

My Boys!

These are my 2 favorite Boys. I LOVE THEM!

My dad is such a blessing. I can't even begin to explain how much he means to me! They both keep me on my toes, I LOVE BEING NOAH'S MOMMY! I can't wait to lay my life down for him for the rest of my life and love him unconditionally!

This is My BEAUTIFUL NIECE and me the day she was born! She's 6mos old now and keeps getting more and more pretty! My brother and his wife already have another one coming! This time a little boy!

A tough road!

My mom has gone through a whole bunch and I can't wait to document her recovery!!!
1Peter 4:19, Trust your lives to the one who created you for he will never fail you!

Thank you for all of your prayers and support and HELP! My family and I really appreciate having you though all of this! God has been so faithful and amazing!

Update on Veronica!

My mom is back in the Hospital! She had surgery yesterday at 7 am to save/reconstruct her foot! So far so good! What they did yesterday is "stickin" and the doctor's hopes are up that the surgery worked! My mom has a brand new foot! She's in a ton of pain and has exhausted her pain button! She continues to smile through it all and praise God for all he has done!
She's currently in the CCU/ICU and cannot have visitors expect of course my dad and me. Which is super hard on Noah since he wants to see his ITA!!! Please pray she can get well enough soon to get to the 5th floor again and get some visitors and see the staff of nurses that took great care of her for 2 months!


These are pics of my mom's leg after a 2 months of surgeries, For now I won't be posting any of her foot/Heel!





What is under the white thing is what they operated on all day yesterday. There was pretty much nothing under there. So they took muscle from her thighs and skin from her thighs to make a heal and bottom of a foot.

Ready... Set.... Go!

So I'm starting this blog and I don't know how, but I'm going to. I just feel like it's a good way to communicate with everyone at the same time. Noah and I get to share our crazy lives with all of you! Massive texts with updates just take too long! :) Please enjoy!
I'll be sharing updates on my mom and how big my beautiful little big boy is getting, and what the Lord has been teaching us!
“Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.”- Isaiah 46:4
