LABOR DAY BLESSINGS!

Aloha everyone from the Deluxe Suite at the ICU room here at UMASS!
I (Reta) arrived here late last night and was able to join Rena to see Mom today at the hospital!
Today was a good day as she stayed awake for about 3 hours with us, as I showed her some wonderful family photos and videos I took, traveling east to see her. She so enjoyed seeing pictures of Denise and Brandon, Auntie Wendy, Auntie Diana, Uncle Ron, Kenny, Cindy, Kevin and Kimberly, and viewing the encouraging and loving videos from Auntie Diana, Auntie Wendy and Uncle Peter!!! She smiled throughout, groaned at times, and squeezed our hands.
Because she was so alert today and responded to many of the commands and questions, the EEG was cancelled!! She fell fast asleep for hours in the afternoon, while the amazing Guerin boys loved her up and played quietly...no wonder Mom loves living back here, to be surrounded by sweet Aria, amazing Tyler, super outgoing Jeremy, and precious Jared. They are only as wonderful as their parents! :)
Throughout the day, she was awake and asleep, and she has lots of bruises on her body, because pinching her body is a way to get her up and respond! She answered some questions today...She couldn't answer what year it is, nor who the president was, or even say my name "Reta", tho she looked at me as if it was a ludicrous question...but when I asked, where I was from? She immediately quietly answered, "Hawaii". What's my son's name?  "Alex". What's his favorite sport? "Golf"....the simple questions of yesterday means everything today.
We thank you all sincerely for praising our God for all of the blessings and encourage you to keep it coming for the prayers are blanketing our awesome, strong, mom! Be encouraged as we are as our faith in our Lord gets stronger every day - as we stand on the mountains and travel through the valley!

We love you all.

From Come My Beloved:

I WILL BRING THE VICTORY

Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57

O My child, have I ever failed you?
Have I ever turned My back on you or forsaken you?
Have I not been your refuge and your strong defense?
I have protected you and kept you in sickness and in health.
Yes, I am with you to help you. Fear not. My purposes will be
fulfilled in spite of your weaknesses, if in your need you rely on My strength.
My will shall be done regardless of the flaws in your life, if you count on the power of My righteousness.
I do not work only in cases where there are no obstacles; but I glory in overruling the
prevailing circumstances, and I take pleasure in bringing victories in those places where no victory is anywhere in sight.
Count on My coming.
Know that whenever faith brings Me on the scene, everything is changed.
Darkness is turned to light.
Grief is turned to joy.
Sickness to health.
Poverty to My sufficient supply. Doubt to faith. Anxiety to trust.
No negative force can occupy the same place as My Spirit.
When My Spirit comes in, all these things must go. Yes, they shall go!
Ask for the victory, I will come and bring it.
Don't look for the victory - look for Me, and you will see the victory that I will bring with Me.
After I have come, you shall behold the Miracles I will do.
