Just a short an update to today's previous post.. Mary Jo had no issues today with her blood pressure, heart rate, or rythym. She is also eating better finishing about half of her food at each meal. The diarrhea is slowly going away. Dr. Engelhardt said that he wanted her to be up and walking some. So, we made a few laps around the "penthouse".
When we see Dr. Engelhardt in the morning, we are going to see if Mary Jo can be discharged from the hospital, and receive all of her stem cell infusions in the outpatient stem cell clinic.
I did want to share one thing with you that happened in the Emergency Room yesterday afternoon. When we first got there, two ER nurses were asking Mary Jo questions and hooking her up to a heart monitor machine. After a few minutes, an ER doctor and a cardiologist came in. When Mary Jo saw them, she laid back and closed her eyes. After awhile, she opened her eyes and, she was crying.
She told me, "Gerry, I closed my eyes and I saw the face of Jesus!" She kept crying and repeating, "I saw Jesus' face... I saw Jesus' face. What does it mean?" I can't remember her exact words, but she said something that made me think that she thought she wasn't going to make it, and Jesus was there to take her home. I tried to reassure by saying "No, that's not it. we're going to be OK. Jesus is just reminding us, that no matter what, He's here with us."
Mary Jo is a person of deep faith. I have often said that if she doesn't make it to heaven, I don't stand a chance. There is no doubt in my mind that Mary Jo saw the face of Jesus as she was lying there in ER. All I can say is, Thank you, Jesus!
Praying for all the best today. God Bless everyone.
