Title: Thoughts and Prayers for Aunt Maryann and Family
Post by: jennlpn on July 10, 2010, 09:57:34 AM
As most of you are aware Aunt Maryann is currently at the hospital.  All the girls are up here and they and Uncle Henry are at Aunt Maryann's bedside.  Please send your thoughts and prayers their way - I will try to keep everyone updated on her condition as I hear from them

Just got through texting with MaryKay and things are still up in the air.  Aunt Maryann had a big stroke last evening and was taken to FAHC and is in the ICU after receiving some medications for busting up clots.  She cannot move left side, lost her vision in left eye and speech wasn't great.  But she was awake and responding.  This morning they feel that her stroke is extending and there's no certain outcome as of yet.  The next 24-36 hours will tell us more.  Please continue with prayers and I will continue to update as I get information.

Another Update

Aunt Maryann had an evolutionary stroke and things are not good.  She has all her close family at her bedside.  She has opted for NO life support, they are giving her Morphine to keep her comfortable and they are giving her about 24-48 hours.  She is a strong person and has a strong family.  My thoughts and prayers are with them and hope she is comfortable.

They are moving her to a private room where they can all be with her.  There's a bed so Uncle henry can rest right beside her.  As of about an hour ago her oxygen level was dropping and they weren't sure if she had much longer.

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want;
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters;
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for His name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil;
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the
Lord forever.

Psalm 23

Thanks so much everyone!  I'm sure the family will be comforted once they get a chance to read all your messages.  I have not heard anything more and it's about 10pm.  When I know more I will continue to keep you all informed.

Sending my love & prayers to Uncle Henry, Aunt Maryann, Lynn, Sharon, MaryKay, Mike, Henry and Sammy

Henry,
I am so sorry for your loss, and thankful that you and the rest of the family were able to be with her.  That must have been a big comfort for all of you.  Maryann was a very special woman, who touched a lot of lives, but I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.  Condolences to you and your family, Love, Suzy

There isn't anything harder to accept than losing someone you love. There are also no words to truly bring comfort. Maryann was a ray of sunshine with an infectious  hardy laugh that made you want to laugh and smile also--the Raymond family was truly blessed to have her and are truly blessed to have each other as Henry so often reminds us in his posts. Maryann was blessed to have lived her life with a wonderful husband and children who loved her dearly when so many never know what that feels like.
She is in a better place and can be remembered for the happy, red sox loving soul that she was.
May God bless you and grant you peace in your in your sorrow.

Our thoughts are with all of the Raymond family during this time.  We are so glad we stopped by recently with one of Maryann's favorite treats.  It was so good to see her and visit with you both.  May you find peace knowing she is resting with our Lord and Savoir.

Henry - as you know, I've been in touch with the girls (mainly Sharon) over the past few days.  But I just wanted to express to you my condolences and support.  I cannot imagine how difficult all this has been for you.  But you have an incredibly strong and loving family.  And a very large circle of friends who love and care about you.  Please know you can lean on us thru this time.

Henry, Lynn, Sharon and Mary Kay:

I'm so sorry to hear this sad news.  She was a cheerleader to many young ladies beyond your family through Girl Scouts and other school activities.  Her support was really appreciated.  Red Sox nation has lost a huge fan!  Will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers during this time of tremendous loss.

My Dear Henry & Daughters,  My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.  Maryann and I use to ride together to work with Bernard Cherrier.  Her and I held hands and prayed we would get home safe and sound.  Of course we had alot of giggles over that.  She was a very special lady.  Kena
