Tuesday Afternoon- Frieda

Thank you for all the emails, calls and extensions of kindness toward Frieda, her family and friends over the past few days. I know I say that over and over, but each gesture has been so appreciated.
Frieda was diagnosed with another stroke. This stroke occurred in the right side of her brain. She remains unresponsive, and in basically the same condition that I posted on Sunday.
Frieda appears comfortable and that is a blessing. We are all praying and asking for peace and comfort for Frieda at this time. I am asking that you do the same for her. Frieda is essentially "stable," yet in critical condition. The most recent stroke was severe. As you all have guessed by now, we are all in basically a state of shock and are finding this both unbelievable and hard to comprehend.
Wayne and I will be leaving to go to Greenville shortly to be with our friend.
I hope that all of you will "be with us" too in thoughts and in prayer. I will continue to tell Frieda who I have spoken with, who has emailed and who has sent cards and well wishes.
She has been so happy to hear from everyone throughout these many weeks in the hospital.
God bless all who read this and just know that your contributions have been and remain so important. Frieda and I had hatched a plan to take all the cards that she had received, "white out" her name and then sell them for half price. (She's always industrious like that!) I'm sharing this to let you know she loves each and every card, note, visit and gift...yet there hasn't been a time yet that we weren't conspiring and hatching some sort of crazy outrageous plan. Feeding off of one another's sense of humor is what we do best.
Blessings, comfort and peace to you all.
-Anne
