Hi Holly,
I have returned to this site and have started my reading of posts and trying to help. I felt it was time and it does help me when I help others.
I am writing you an e-mail and will get it off to you in a few days so be patient with me. I have some news to share with you, all good but for one thing that isn’t so good.
I’ve missed you but I am happy for the work you are doing with the First Nations of Canada and proud of your good caring heart and soul and happy you are my friend.
You be careful but I know God is with you in your travels into the far northern regions of North American.

Thanx for the shout my friend.
The family is all doing ok. We were out at the Pow wow in Chilliwack on the Easter weekend and had a good time. The kids got spoiled by the Easter bunny and had fun hunting for eggs. I’m glad to hear you enjoying your surroundings up in the great white north. Hope to hear from you soon.
Papa
Thank you for the blessings. What wacky weather we are having. The one or two sunny periods earlier this week were not long enough, and the forecast does not look any better for the near future. Fortunately we are above the flood line but being on the mountain I think we get more rain! I hope you are staying dry over there. We will have to see if we can get a sundance going to scare away theses clouds. One of my little ones and I went for a walk in the rain, and saw the daffodils are in bloom and the pretty pink petals of the flowering cherry trees are out as well. Spring is on it’s way! Have a super weekend and we look forward to chatting with you soon.

Hello there my friend! I hope you had a fantastic day.
What a beautiful day on the wet coast. I heard the robins singing their morning song and just knew it was going to be a nice day, and it was. I see you and Matt are getting close that is good, he can use your spiritual guidance. I’m sure you are able to lift up Jonettas spirits as well. So you like my pictures, I find them using google image search, then I use an embedding code to post them onto replies and in shoutboxes. Hope you have a good evening.
:]
i am glad tapdancer is getting stronger and i hope she does not have phnumonia. i will continue to pray for her. thankyou for letting me know how she is.
Thank you so much for your shout, for the bible, and for your number. I may call you later. I must say that this ordeal has taken my faith to a new level. I know what is imporatant now. Petty anxieties will never again have a foothold in my mind. All I want to do is give my love before it’s too late.
It’s true, I was very afraid the other night. The enemy greatly desires to afflict my love for Jonetta, which I take to be a sign that God has willed great things for it. I was experiencing attacks of worry. It was very horrible. But now I am at peace with things, much more so than ever before. I am not afraid of anything now. I’m not even afraid of losing her, for in that case she would simply be reunited with her family in the presence of God, and that could never bring me to grief. I was only afraid of having to live with myself if I never told her how wonderful she is, never showed her how much I loved her.
I had a vision while I was praying for Jonetta of how God was going to turn this all around for good. I know we can not scrutinize his purposes, but I saw something. From this accident, many hearts will be healed. Jonetta will find herself, her companion, and her happiness. I will have a woman to love and protect, someone to fight for with honor. Together we will become a force for the good of the world. All who have seen these events take place have been transformed for them, and who knows how many acts of courage and love will spring from that?
This is strong stuff, I know. Do you mind me sharing this with you? Will you agree with me in faith that it is so? What would be a good time to call? I would love to talk to you.
Concerning the reports of pneumonia, I do not believe them. I don’t know if you have any medical experience, and I don’t have formal training in it, but I would like you to follow a chain of reasoning with me. Gary also mentioned that her fever had abated. If this is so, then she can not possibly have any infectious pneumonia. The fact that she’s coughing is actually good, because it is precisely the lack of a functioning cough reflex that leads to complications with pneumonia. She is clearing her lungs now from the effects of the cough suppressants they had given her. If she has any inflamation aroung the lungs, it must be the effects of the trauma, and should only be, or mainly be, on one side. I really believe now that she will be fine, and I’m standing firm in that. I will probably talk to her tonight, and I believe we’ll here that she is better.
Again, thank you so much. Talk to me and tell me what you feel. Let us share the faith that this is all redounding to God’s glory.
Good Morning Holly,
What I meant by odd is the timing of what you felt when you said you were praying. You felt something break around 1:40 or near that time.
Jonetta had been with Dr. Andrewss all morning Saturday as I said, and it was after 1 p.m. that he told her the right kidney was was functioning at 100%. I feel the more of her that is functioning and working at normalacy will help her to heal faster in the long run.
I know the human brain will take over and redirect our system inside when it sees one part isn’t functioning normal or is injured. We can live with one kidney, but its best if we have both working due to their important role in excreting out waste and cleansing our blood. The timing of your prayer and what you felt coincided with the news Dr Andrews gave Jonetta plus it came on the heels of her first attempt at sitting and standing up.
Thank you and bless you for your continued love and support and prayers for Jonetta.
Good Evening Holly,
How odd what you wrote. Today the news was good. You can go and read my update. She actually sat up and tried to stand but fainted. Tomorrow we’re going to do it again, and if it goes well, I’m going to see if I can take her outside into the fresh air in a wheelchair.
Thank you so much for your continued prayers. They are helping. She’s been taken off all the machines and just has one device on. She’s going to be put on solid foods tomorrow.
I’ll e-mail you her phone number, if not tonight, then tomorrow. I’m in the room across from hers, and I’m going to watch some tv then call it a night. The fact I’m staying here is helping her alot.
Thanks again.
Gary
I didn’t mention one thing in the post. Jonetta’s fever rose during the night to 107/108 degrees and kept climbing so they packed her in ice to bring it down. It worries me they can’t find the source of the fever, and I know healthwise it isn’t good for one to have prolonged high temperatures. Their fear last night was she might go into convulsions.
Please continue to pray for her. I think she’ll be okay if they can just get the fever under control. I’m staying the night here at the hospital with her and probably the entire week-end. I see the difference my presence makes, and maybe we can combat the fever this week-end and get her up and going next week.
Thanks again.
it’s Carol for C and you know the rest. As of now we have nothing for a daily update. 7:15 western daylight savings time. we did get a update passed from Gary to The Fronde to Help.com. As we write this Gary has come online so we should have a update momentarily
Good Evening.
I’ll contact you at your e-mail address tomorrow and let you know if Jonetta feels up to talking and give you the phone number in her room.
She slept the bulk of today, and that is rest that she really needs. I showed her your latest messages, and she cried when she read them. Right now, I feel the loneliness of her whole ordeal is whats affecting her more than anything else.
oh. ok. itsjust that i heard someone say something like that, oh well silly me lol. I still hope shes ok though, all the good things i heard about her, she will be back :)
I won’t be OK until I see her through this. I’m tied up in agony about her. As you may have noticed, this is now personal for me. Not because of the past—that’s over. But because of what has happened since then. I care for her, and there are things we really need to talk about. Some things she confided in me struck me in the heart. I’m freaking out here, not knowing the proper course of action. Any advice or encouragement you can give would be very appreciated. I don’t mean prayer; I’m doing that anyway. I must figure out what I can do for her.
Yes, Gary, to all that you’ve said. It’s so much easier to deal with the world’s pain than one’s own–especially when one has had multiple/compound losses like little Tapdancer.
Praise the Lord He created us so wonderfully; I believe if the full shock of our great losses were actualized in our mind in one whollop we’d likely go crazy or ‘leave the planet’. Shock is an amazing good thing. It wears off very slowly. Under normal circumstances it takes six months for shock to wear off–for the full impact of a loss to be felt in its entirety.
With the size of what Jonetta has lost it’s small wonder she’s looking after the world.
I can hardly bear to think of her pain myself.
I think you are right about her not being able to stop crying once she starts. COPING has become a god in our society. Most people give a person who’s suffered the loss of a loved one about six weeks to three months–and then will figure it’s time ‘they should get on with their life again’. Christians especially–we are so
glib; we tell people ‘well, he’s with the Lord’ indicating one has no right to grieve the loss of a person dearly loved.
They didn’t read the fine print–I think the Bible says “We grieve not as the world grieves…” That doesn’t negate the fact that the loss of a loved one is a personal death and it is a long hurting process to come back into emotional health and life.
This little gal will need careful observation for sometime. Emotionally she will be very fragile. In my case about the end of the second year I was emotionally exhausted, quite depressed.
I’m wondering–is there anyplace she can go to be with people who can support her through the next six months or so? She needs to be able to talk and talk and talk about it until she’s finished with it and also cried out.
She’s right–she likely won’t be able to stop crying–and that’s a good thing–but she needs a good friend around her who can tell her what is happening to her as she falls apart.
A grief support group would be wonderful. It sure helped me to know in so-many-number of days, if I could just hang on, I had group to go to in order to share with people who really understood what I was feeling.
Bless you, brother. You are going to need to slow down one day soon, too, and look after yourself!
Blessings.
Thank you holly eden. I was just typing out a message for you. Jonetta asked me to personally thank you for your prayers, love, care and concern for her.
Yes, I agree with all you wrote. Jonetta thinks quite highly of you, and she told me you are a strength to her spiritually. I can tell she has shared alot with you about herself and her life.
Jonetta is like a little caretaker. She buries what she feels in order to take care of evreyone else. I feel she did that with her parents deaths. As I mentioned in an update on here, if she has shared with you her feelings over her loss, then please help her and guide her through it. She will not talk with me about any of it, and I feel its a fear in her if she does she’ll start crying and not stop. However, I feel she needs to shed those tears. I am hoping when we return to Colorado in May to the site of the accident, that she will release the feelings in her that she has suppressed.
God Bless You and thank you for being her friend.
Gary
Yet again I shouted into my own shout box LOL. I need to stop doing that… Here is my intended message though :)
Thank you so much Holly.. Its just what I needed to hear. Thank you my dear friend. This confirms and solidifies my path and priorities for me. I was financially comfortable before my troubles started but I lost a lot of money due to illness and poor work attendance. My father, who’s life had seemingly changed in his golden years offered to pay for therapy to try and make up for the damage they had done when I was little. They know of my problems and now feel terribly guilty for the childhood traumas that they have caused. I am going to accept this offer and also to ease their conscions. Thank you for being there for me Holly. You have always been a source of positivesness and a friend in Christ. Your message touched me today. Thank you.
Good Evening. Through trial and error, I am finding my way around the site and how to use it. Thank you for your kind words about Jonetta. I will share them with here tomorrow when she is awake. God bless you.
