PRAISE GOD

Hello Family!

I will try to make this a quickie as this precious nurse is allowing me to use her computer to give you an update about dad.

First and foremost, Mike and I wish to thank all of you for your prayers.  We witnessed God's marvelous works first hand this past week as we listened to the doctors tell us that there was no hope to hearing them say we believe he will be able to go home in the morning!  We KNOW this is ALL because of the prayers that went up on his behalf.  His heart surgery went great, it was his lungs that failed him.  His left one collapsed and then pneumonia set in.  I have learned that sometime we do not ask God for enough!  I'll explain; in praying for this situation I only prayer for his heart not for his lungs which go hand and hand.  I guess what I am trying to say is that we need to be a little more specific.  God has blessed our family so much this week.  We have had to go through many trials and it has been one LONG LONG week, but it has been a blessing.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your phone calls, your cards, but most importantly your prayers.  I do apologize for not returning calls.  I have been coming to the hospital at 7am.  I have no service here unless I go outside.  I leave here at 10pm go home and clean until around 3am and start all over again.  To be honest, I am just so tired.  I am not complaining, but if I sit down to talk I usually end up going to sleep.

Our plans are to take dad to his home in the morning and get him all settled in.  He is wanting me to cook him some of his favorie dishes so I am going to do that tonight.  Bradley is going to be staying here with him.  We will start back to Bama some time tomorrow afternoon.  I miss my Princess so you know where we will be going first!  She sounds sooooo grown on the phone!

Thanks again and please keep the prayers going for he still has some recovery to go.  Some specific to pray about are most heart patients go through depression and appetite problems.  Dad is very active in his church and he will not be able to be in crowds for a while, so please pray that he will have patients.

I look forward to talking with you all sooooooonnnnn!!!!

Love to all!

(((((((((((((((Becky)))))))))))) your entire family remains in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks so much for this PRAISE report..love, Michele

I love you Becky.  Lucy and I are praying for you and Mike.  We are also praying for Bo.  I pray that God gives Bradley the wisdom that he needs to take care of His grandpa.  Give Sarah a hug for me and we hope to see you guys soon. 


WE LOVE YOU ALL!

Becky,

I am so excited to hear that Mr. Bellamy is improving and doing well at this point. I know that you guys have had a trying time, but I also know that your faith in God and your love as a family has carried you through this.
I hope he continues to do well and that he is home soon.

Sounds like Bradley has again stepped up to the plate and accepted a huge amount of responsibility in offering to be there to take care of his Grandfather. This speaks
highly of him as well as speaking highly of the job of parenting that you and Mike have done with him.
I have always been impressed by Bradley, his attitude and his accomplishments. You have every right to be
very proud of him.

I know you guys must be physically and mentally exhausted. I know first hand how difficult the open heart surgery can be on the family. It was very difficult when we went through this with my dad and it was all done right here in our home town. Add to that all the travel and unfamiliar environment that you have been in and it must be hard. Take some time to allow yourselves to rest and heal.

I am here -- again Becky, if there is anything I can do for you from a distance, please let me know.

Carolyn~
(Who sure does hope to be seeing you in Birmingham on October 25th!??????)
