8 p.m…

Irene had a Birthday SURPRISE late this afternoon when a few friends arrived with cake, ice cream and bearing gifts!!!  Jocelyn was able to get away from work for awhile and also join in the celebration.  It’s a good thing that Irene had rested earlier because it was a pretty wild group!!!!! 

All kidding aside, Irene was blessed and encouraged…you could tell by her winsome smile and joyful spirit!  She was even able to enjoy some cake and ice cream!!  We huddled around her at the conclusion of our time together and prayed over her, rejoicing in her faithfulness and God’s favor upon her life.  We asked Him, again, to completely heal and restore her body.  We believe He will.

This evening JoAnna flies into SJC and will be here through Sunday.

As Irene continues to walk this journey we have referred to as the “hike up Mount Everest”, we’re grateful for the virtual community of faithful people like YOU who check regularly on Irene and faithfully pray for her to be healed of the Primary Amyloidosis and End Stage Renal Disease (which is the reason for the kidney dialysis three days a week).

Today we celebrate Irene’s LIFE, and we look forward to many more birthdays in the years ahead!!!

Caminando con Fé
