Joie Update

Family, sadly I come to you with even more bad news in regards to Joie. Randall just called and said that he had to sign a release for her to receive blood. They have given her two units already. We do not know at this time where the blood is going. Her o2 level has now dropped to 78. He said that all he has received today was negative news and I assured him that God was in control and even though we hear the negative and have to accept and repeat the negative to others, that God is still in control. Randall will call me again after seeing her at 5:30 and I will post another update. Love to all, Becky

Becky, evening is the start of the new day for God. He is the Lord our healer "Jehovah-Ropheka" and He is a sovereign God. The Lord will touch her and she will receive from Him a great gift.

Ok, I justed talked to brother and here is the latest as of 7PM. When he went back at 5:30 he was not allowed to go in. He said there were several people in there. He later saw the nurse and asked her what was going on and she said that they had been working with Joie for the couple of hours. Her oxygen level dropped drastically low again. The doctor was called and changes were made and when Randall saw her the o2 level was back in the 90's. Joie is anemic and with all the fluids they have been giving her it caused the blood to dilute, thus the reasoning for giving her blood. Randall said that it was not necessary to give blood at this time. He will get to see her one more time tonight and I will post another update then. I received a call tonight of someone checking on Joie and was confused about the update of yesterday. After Joie coded we saw great improvements. Although we saw these improvements Joie is still in very critical condition. Doctors have told us that they are taking this moment by moment. Keep the prayers going. Love you all, Becky

Hi, Becky I haven't been on the board for a few days since I was ill myself. I will most definitely add the Culpepper family to my prayer list. I know "God is in control", no matter how hopeless, no matter how far we may travel down a weary road. I also read your profile. Congratulations on your weight loss. I am sorry you haven't updated since 2005 I would have loved to read more about your journey. God Bless YOu, Kathy from MO

Randall just called (9PM) and he said, "PRAISE THE LORD!" Since seeing her last he said that he saw 100% improvement. Her o2 level at some points were 100% and her heart rate was normal. He said that they have started giving her vitamins and minerals and have begun tube feeding her. He said he was going to get a good nights sleep because he could see improvement in her. I will post another update after 9AM in the morning unless he calls me back tonight. Good night everyone. God's blessings to all of you. Becky

Becky, The next time you talk to Randall please tell him that his angel in Memphis is praying really hard. I am also sending out an email to the support group from my doctor's office. He met some of them when he was here in April. I am just heartbroken over all this. Randall and Joie are very special people and I love them both very much. I would really like to call him, but I am guessing he is getting a lot of calls. Just tell him that I love him and to please call me when he can. I gave my new number to his mom yesterday. Thanks for keeping us posted. Hugs, Genny
