Esther came back from Colorado yesterday. It was a great trip for her. It was really fascinating simply to hear her describing the whole trip. And she was able to give away quite a few Lydia’s wristband while at Focus on the Family headquarters. Also, while connecting the flight at Chicago O’Hare airport, she was by herself, but again, was able to share Lydia’s story to other tourists…

Mom needed an MRI today. When asked by the nurse if she ever had MRI or ever in the MRI room before, mom simply broke down right there,

“No, I never had MRI myself before.” Mom replied, “But I have been in the MRI room too many times…”

Mom told to the nurse what happened to Lydia. The nurse was pretty sympathetic (that was very nice of her, because some were very cold).

Mom cried pretty hard again when she described the MRI experience to me on the phone. On the other side of the phone, I listened and sighed…

It must be so difficult for mom. I don’t know how difficult it was during those couple hours of MRI. It’s simply scary to me that she needs to go through it. To me, it’s probably life threatening experience.

But, she is a strong woman. Praise the Lord.
