Update - Day 197

Since Monday, Barb's progress has slowed. She has developed a problem in her lungs that the doctors have not been able to fully explain. While the blood infection seems to be under control, her energy has not recovered.We will most likely be home next week. However, we have to make some very tough choices.

  1. There are simply no words to describe how devastated I am by this news, and how much my heart aches for all of you.

    My recollection of childhood is inextricably intertwined with memories of the Wilks and time in the neighborhood. Barb, you are truly a favorite aunt, and the Wilks are family - nothing less. I'm so sorry I haven't been able to visit you in person during this trial, but I have so much love for you all. I continue to pray for you, with hope in Christ for your recovery.

  2. Dear Barb, I too am so heart broken over these results! I have for many weeks thought of all the fun we had together,as children going into our teens and then into out young adulthood. sooo many good years we had!!! I valued our friendship dearly. I am so sad that we didn't keep in touch all these years since. I am very sorry for that!!! but the love for you, as a friend, has never left. My family and I will continue to pray for you and your family! Love Always, Dianne xoxoxo

  4. Dave is my brother-from-another-mother and, Barb...you are that other mother. My folks are out here in Colorado Springs and I got the devastating news through the grapevine. We're thinking about you guys and can't emphasize enough how truly proud we are of you and the fight you've shown through this whole ordeal.

  7. Dear Barb and Darrell ~~ I wish this had been a better week for you, and I hope for you a good weekend; because you know my middle name is Scarlet and tomorrow is another day. Hang in there. Hilly is arriving tomorrow to help me clean out downstairs in her room after 23 years. You are in my prayers. I loved the messsage from Mom Wilk. I know she is a star like you. I'll be thinking of you all. I hope you can be home for Thanksgiving with your family. I would rather make tough choices at home. Love, Pam
