Hi All,
Jamie here with some updated news about my momma, Bobby.
First I would like to give my appreciation and thanks to all who post here with good thoughts and prayers for Bobby, who is very much in need of them at this time.
As of this afternoon, t he breathing apparatus has been partially removed and Bobby is breathing more on his own. He is more conscious today than the previous few days. Friends who are with him told me he is a bit fiesty and aware enough to tell his friends who are near him that he loves them.
As for his condition, the next few days should bring some clear information about what is happening internally for him. I know my momma isn't fond of all those pesky tests, however I haven't heard her complain once - not thru any of this. Sure the usual bitching, but she is resolute about not letting discomfort and fear take over.
When I was at the hospital last month we sat together and talked about everything that is happening. Bobby is suffering but he is holding on to his faith and hope, and I know he is fighting.
He looked me in the eyes and said "I am in Gods hands, and I trust God completely."
So, as he has taught me, I am doing my best to trust and be strong for him. While I was with him I asked if he had a message for everyon e back here in New York, he gave a thoughtful look and said "Be thankful for all you have." So with that in mind, I just want to say how incredibly thankful I am to have a friend like Bobby. He is a man who shows me more love than I could ever hope for and challenges me in more ways than I could ever expect. I love you Bobby, now and forever...
