NEW website address and BLOG!

there is a new web address for julie's website/blog. it is now located at

http://www.prayersforjulie.com

(simple right? ya, i'm that good... and humble!) just bookmark it!

i will keep both sites active for a few weeks just to make sure everyone has transitioned over to the new site. i have installed a plug in that allows you to subscribe to the posts by email. so, if you already received the updates by email on the old blog you will need to make sure and input your email address into the box on the NEW webpage... if you haven't subscribed before this is a great way to stay up to date when you don't have time to visit the site! or you can just stop by and visit the site anytime you want if you prefer! i just installed the plug in, so if there are some delays please be patient. And just keep checking the blog until you are regularly recieving email updates.

if you need to contact me, please email tobra@prayersforjulie.com

we hope this new blog/site will be an easier way for us all to communicate... it's still a bit of a work in progress but we're getting there!!!!

regular update coming later today...

thanks as always for your continued support. YOU are the reason this blog exists... it really started as a way to let close friends and family know what was going on... it has turned into a grand movement of praying people who have a common goal to heal julie. however, she wants to go a step further and make it a resource for others fighting this fight alongside her.. and we outgrew our abilities which is why i made the change.

greater things are yet to come my friends... i'm so glad you are along with us for the journey.

do you receive the blog by email?

i need to know how many of you and who you are, that receive the blog updates via email... if you DO, could you please send me an email at tobra@prayersforjulie.com and let me know...

i'm trying to determine if people have signed up for the blogger emails or if you are getting the updates through an RSS feeder....

IF you just come and regularly check the blog, you need to do NOTHING. this post only pertains to those who have updates automatically delivered to their email. soon, the blog will be hosted elsewhere and i'm trying to make sure we make this as smooth as possible for everyone...

i'll be at the hospital later this morning with an update, but gerald reported this morning that she was doing well....

keep up the prayers!
thanks!

things are good

sorry it's been a bit longer than usual between postings but as the saying goes " no news is good news " and in this case it's true. julie is doing well. as gerald says, "getting better everyday." blood pressure has been good, pain is manageable. she's walking, eating some, and even has a BIT of an attitude at times, so i know she's feeling well :) haha! i've heard rumors of friday being the target day for her release, but don't hold me to that. hopefully we will know more tomorrow. but as for now she is holding steady and doing well. the biggest thing is making sure she can eat food and tolerate it before we head home... so pray about that. and in general her healing and strength. we so appreciate everyone's concern and prayers. i speak for gerald and julie when i say - keep it up , we don't have enough words to thank you....

in Christ - tobra

Monday morning update

I've been here at the hospital with Julie for a couple hours and she is doing remarkably well. They are managing her pain and she has had more relief since the surgery they did on Saturday to remove the fluid. Vitals are all good. She still has drainage tubes to make sure the abdomen stays clear. Her personality and spirits are great. We are watching Family Feud and making fun of the people's answers ;). Keep her in your prayers for healing and recovery. Thank you as always-
