Spring Fever

Spring Fever

Spring fever has sprung!!!!!!!!

Irene’s day was very productive.  She was out of the house early this morning shopping at Target, Trader Joe’s and Safeway.  She ventured all over the yard enjoying the beautiful flowers in bloom!!!  Last night the nausea was brutal but she slept well with a combination of nausea medications.  You can see that it didn’t slow her down today, although the nausea did remain at a low roar ….

Spring has sprung and so has spring fever.  Irene has a spring not only in her step but even more so in her fervent heart and attitude.

Well Wishes From Sue Azevedo

Dave,

We just arrived home from Arizona late last night.  When Steve shared your message from Monday evening about the call you’d received regarding Irene’s amyloid level, we all (Steve, Holly, husband Riccardo and I)  began praying immediately.  Words don’t begin to express how deeply we feel for you all in these circumstances.  We have prayed many times over the last two days over the situation, for healing, for clarity, for understanding, peace and strength.  From some of the medical issues we’ve dealt with over the years, we’ve found the up and down to be very trying and can only imagine how difficult it must be in such a serious situation as this.

We know that while we don’t have the words, God has the comfort, the answers and the power to change it all.  We’ll be continuing to ask that He will be working in an infinite number of ways to bring about all of that.  We know how much the Lord loves Irene, and we trust so very much in that Love He has for you all.

In His abiding love and with many prayers,

Steve and Sue

Attitude

Attitude

Our ATTITUDE determines our ALTITUDE ….

…. and Irene has a STRATOSPHERIC attitude!!!

She had a skip in her step and a big smile on her face as she drove herself to dialysis this morning while playing an upbeat Amy Grant CD all the way!!  Following another low blood pressure episode at dialysis she came home and scurried around the house accomplishing many tasks on her “to do” list.  Her gentle optimism, joy and cheerful spirit are wondrous to behold despite the chronic nausea which emerged with a vengeance late this afternoon.  She still had the gumption to prepare a wonderful turkey steak dinner …. although she passed on the meal ….!!

Yes, it’s true, our ATTITUDE determines our ALTITUDE.  As I observe Irene “up close and personal” I am certainly learning a valuable lesson from the “attitude master” who is modeling The Master’s attitude on her journey of faith.

Irene’s attitude is not of this world, but is, rather, out of this world and powered by Him.
