Well Wishes from Khalib

I haven’t really known Irene for the longest time, but the time that I have known her has been speacial. I have known her daughter for around 7 years. I might have meet Irene maybe twice, but she is the nicest person. I have memories of helping Jocelyn move and Irene and Dave being there helping, and making us food and just being a positive attitude. She is a very strong woman and Dave is a very strong Man. I wish that I could have meet them earlier in life and that we could have developed a stronger relationship. I know that God has a plan for Irene and all that surround her and that she has come in-contact with. I know she is a fighter and will continue to fight and get better.

Just by knowing her the little that I do, I can tell she is has a no quit attitude. Her family wont let her! I will be praying everynight that we can all again help Jocelyn move to yet another house

A Very Rough Monday

7.15 p.m…

Hello everyone!

Candidly, Irene had a very rough Monday…she was VERY nauseated and not able to hold anything down all day…she slept most of the afternoon after a 3 hour dialysis session this morning. The LIVER counts are still trending upward with a reading of 12.5 today, up from 11.8 yesterday.

The UCSF team is consulting with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, NY, and getting affirmation in terms of the course that we’re on. David Wright and Ian Wright gave blood and platelets today at the UCSF Blood Center. Yay!

Phil Wilder and his daughter, Sarah, and son, Adam, came for a short visit with me late in the day. Irene was obviously not up to visitors today…

One of the nurses commented today that she and the entire nursing team are amazed at Irene’s endurance and gentle spirit despite her not feeling well…all of them are expressing such genuine concern for Irene!!!! What a testimony of Irene’s faithfulness!! I told her that she is reaping what she is sowing…even at UCSF!!!

Thank you for your continued care and concern!!

Well Wishes from Christy and Shawn Ferreria

Good Evening Dave, Irene and Family,

Christy and I are praying for your family continuously. I have found in scripture that, “As children of God we can trust that our Father will provide for us.” In Irene’s case, God’s angels are with you in this time of need. God will see you through this journey. Many prayers and thoughts are rushing from the “hot” San Joaquin Valley toward your “cool” hospital room at UCSF. The staff at UCSF are awesome! They have taken good care of me with my cancer and I KNOW they will take care of you.

My wife and I went to Santa Cruz this last weekend. We had fond memories of the time we spent with your family last year at Jo Anna’s Graduation Party then the year before with the BBQ. When I passed the exit to your house on Highway 1, I really thought and prayed deeply for your speedy recovery. We look forward to the day to visiting with you.

Love always,

Christy and Shawn
