Betsy

Hi ladies,

I went to the hospital yesterday to give moral support to my DS and BIL who was having surgery.  He is home and doing well.  I am asking to start a prayer chain for a young woman I met while visiting the nurses who took such good care of me when I spent the month of June in the hospital. 

One of my favorites was on duty and she said I looked wonderful and proceeded to tell me about Betsy.  She is only 27 and from a Mennonite family here in Harrisonburg VA.  She too developed problems after her 1st round of chemo.  I asked Nicci if I could talk to her never knowing the man in the hallway was her father.  Nicci thought it was a good idea because I was a success story and had been so near death.  She turned and saw Betsy's dad and introduced us.  He also though it a good idea as he had been helplessly eavesdropping.  Nicci introduce me to Betsy and briefly told her my story and then she turned things over to me.

As I drew close to Betsy's bed she lifted a frail hand and put it in mine.  Although terribly ill I marveled at her beauty.  She looked like a petal that had been blown in the wind.  She was bald with only a little stubble and was so weak she looked at me through half-lidded blue eyes clouded with pain.  My heart nearly stopped as I listened to her whispered story so much like my own.  When she finished, I told her that I too had thought that I wouldn't see tomorrow but I did.  I explained that she had great care and wonderful nurses.  I told her I would start a prayer chain for her and she had to believe that she would get better.  It was the first time I saw her smile. 

I am asking that you help keep that smile on her precious face.  Please pray that God gives her strength and courage to go through what she must.  Please pray for healing.  I thank you so much!  I will be going to my onc tomorrow and my sister and I want to pay Betsy another visit.  I would like to truthfully tell her that people are praying for her. 

Sincerely to my sisters in bc,

Nancy

Betsy is on my prayer list.  I think you are Betsy's angel.

Thank you ladies,

When I knew in my heart that I was going to live then I asked God to use me and He has in so many ways.  I still stumble and fall, sometimes I lose my temper (funny though, it's rare now), I cuss,  and I disappoint myself sometimes so I know I disappoint God, but I truely love Him and I know He loves me and I am just one of many too numerous to count.  And I know that both of you are too. May God bless you!

Of course, I will add Betsy to my prayer list.  I pray in night when I get in bed, and sometimes during the day.  She is too young to endure such pain.  Maryiz

Thank you ALL so much and a heartfelt thanks from Betsy.  She looked better today but still tires so easily.  I saw that smile again when I told her about you.  Her father wishes to thank you as well.  I will try to stop in every time I am in Harrisonburg.  I live an hour away.  They have no idea how long Betsy will be in the hospital but I pray she gets to come home soon.  Thanks again.  You are all so loving.  God bless each of you!

I believe Betsy's last name is Morris.  She is on the 6th floor of Rockingham Memorial Hospital in Harrisonburg VA.  I will try to get her room # and make sure about the name tomorrow before I leave.  Bless you kbugmom.  I can't think of any better medicine.  The hospital is on Cantrell ave. if that helps. I'm sure the nurses would know Betsy on the 6th floor.  It isn't a big hospital.
