Happy Sunday All!    My apologies for sending this so late. Dad has been transported again to another   facility.  He is now located at the following location:    Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center  1300 West 7th Street  San Pedro, CA 90732  (310) 832-3311 ext. 1315    He is getting intense physical, occupational and speech therapy at this new   facility 6 days a week.  For any that would like to visit, please call him   beforehand as he gets exhausted from the strenuous exercise. Visiting hours are   everyday until 8pm. He's getting a little better everyday and we are praying   that he will be home soon. Thanks again to everyone for your prayers and well   wishes! Please continue to keep him in your prayers to get home!    With love,  Tiffany & Dee Dee    Sent from my iPad
    
Prayer for Healing Lord, look upon Ron with eyes of mercy, may Your healing hand rest upon him, may Your life giving powers flow into every cell of his body and into the depths of his soul, cleansing, purifying, restoring him to wholeness and strength for service in Your Kingdom. Amen.

Dad is still improving little by little everyday and still at the transitional care facility at Little Company of Mary. He will be transported to a sub-acute facility soon for continued physical therapy which will be more aggressive. We are not sure when but will continue to keep you posted. > > Thanks to all once again for your prayers, calls and visits to him. He appreciates all your well wishes and gives his continued thanks. He's accessible to anyone that wants to visit or speak with him. Here's a picture we took of him a couple of weeks ago. He's come a looooong way! > > <image.jpeg> > > > Sending you all our love as well! > > Hugs, > Tiffany & Dee Dee > > Sent from my iPad > >> On Oct 18, 2013, at 12:14 PM, Tiffany Mayberry <tiffany.j.mayberry@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Hi All, >> >> God is GOOD...all the time! Just letting everyone know that after 5 full weeks at Cedars-Sinai, Dad has improved so well that yesterday evening he was discharged from the hospital and transported to a rehabilitation facility. Yay!! He is currently at Little Company of Mary Transitional Care Center located in Torrance. So far they have him sitting up on his own and he will be receiving physical and occupational therapy twice a day. >> >> He's made amazing progress and he seems to be getting great care at this facility as well. Thank you again for your continued prayers and we will continue to keep you updated. One step closer to getting him home!! >> >> Happy Friday! >> >> With love, >> Tiffany & Dee Dee >> >> Sent from my iPad >> >>> On Oct 13, 2013, at 12:44 AM, Tiffany Mayberry <tiffany.j.mayberry@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> Hi Everyone, >>> >>> Just sending an update since many of you have reached out and checked on my dad's progress. We are so grateful for the continuous prayers! His surgery went well last Thursday, 10/3, and he's been resting well and taking it easy. The podiatry team removed just mainly his toes and not much more which is a blessing. >>> >>> As of today, he's feeling much better and sounding more and more like himself. The confusion he's had with his short term memory is wearing off a little so we are grateful that this only seems temporary. He's been in the hospital for 32 days now and yesterday was the first day they were able to get him up in a chair! He was thrilled not to be in a bed! He's looking better, sounding better and getting a little stronger everyday :) >>> >>> We are still praying for him to get stronger and stronger and hopefully out of the hospital soon! We do not know when that will be yet. He will most likely be heading to a rehabilitation center before coming home, but we see him on a strong road to recovery! Please continue to keep him in your prayers and he continues to thank you all and sends his love. >>> >>> Thanks again for all the love and support and we truly feel so very blessed. The outpouring of love, prayers, food, calls and visits have not gone unnoticed and has been a huge help to us. We will continue to keep you updated. >>> >>> With love, >>> Tiffany & Dee Dee >>> >>> Sent from my iPad >>> >>>> On Oct 3, 2013, at 8:25 AM, Tiffany Mayberry <tiffany.j.mayberry@gmail.com> wrote: >>>> >>>> Hi All, >>>> >>>> We are reaching out to you all again for your prayers and well wishes. Dad's amputation is scheduled for today at 2pm. The podiatry team is not able to confirm with us yet if they will only be removing the toes or a bit more of his foot, but we are praying it will only be the toes. >>>> >>>> Although he's already been through so much these past 22 days in the hospital, Dad is still holding his own. He continues to make us laugh and still has a zest for life. He definitely is tired though of being in the bed and in the hospital and says everyday he wants to come home. We are staying diligent in prayer that his wishes come true soon and he walks out of Cedars strong and in the best of spirits! >>>> >>>> His body is weak from being in a bed for 3 weeks now and he's experienced some other complications from that and just being in critical care from ICU. His short term memory is a bit hazy, but it could be due to all the medication he's currently on or just recently coming out of the coma. The neurology team plans to conduct another test but we are convinced this is only temporary. He knows who each and every one of us is (because I mention you all to him and he gives his best) and still knows his news, politics, sports, etc. >>>> >>>> We will continue to keep all of you up to date on his health and recovery. Thank you SO much for continuing to be Dad's prayer warriors and being so instrumental in keeping him strong and improving day by day. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers today as he undergoes surgery. >>>> >>>> Thanks again! >>>> >>>> Hugs, >>>> Tiffany & Dee Dee >>>> >>>> >>>> Sent from my iPad >>>> >>>>> On Sep 26, 2013, at 9:57 PM, Tiffany Mayberry <tiffany.j.mayberry@gmail.com> wrote: >>>>> >>>>> Hi All, >>>>> >>>>> Your prayers and well wishes have truly been a blessing to my dad! As of today, he's fully awake and alert and off the ventilator, breathing tube and feeding tube!! I was able to feed him dinner this evening and he sends his best to all of you and thanks you for keeping him in your hearts and prayers. The doctors were able to rule out any neurological damage and they also were able to rule out a stroke from the MRI. He's talking a lot and his vibrant and outgoing personality has not changed! >>>>> >>>>> Our focus now is to continue to keep him strong and stable because he still has to undergo surgery to remove the remaining toes on his right foot. Thank you all for lifting us up in prayer and we are all continuing to pray for no setbacks or complications until he makes it home. Thanks again for your endless and continuous prayers! >>>>> >>>>> Blessings, >>>>> Tiffany >>>>> >>>>> Sent from my iPad >>>>> >>>>>> On Sep 23, 2013, at 2:21 PM, Tiffany Mayberry <tiffany.j.mayberry@gmail.com> wrote: >>>>>> >>>>>> Hi All, >>>>>> >>>>>> We just wanted to give you an update on my dad's health as promised. He's slowly come out of sedation and seems to be getting a little stronger day by day. He still is in ICU, but they are working on weening him off the ventilator. They have him breathing mostly on his own throughout the day which is a huge improvement. As this is a bit of an exhausting task for him at this point, he remains on the ventilator during the night for now and continues to have a breathing tube (which he seems agitated with today). >>>>>> >>>>>> His biggest improvement so far is that he now opens his eyes when you call his name and is able to move his body a little. This is definite progress from where he was! >>>>>> >>>>>> We are still waiting to get results from his MRI to determine if there was any neurological damage, but he seems to be improving little by little. We ask that you continue to remain diligent in prayer and we are staying faithful and optimistic for continued progress and no setbacks. >>>>>> >>>>>> I'll continue to send updates as we learn more about his condition. Thanks again for your endless prayers and well wishes.

For those that haven't heard, my apologies for sending this information to you via email. My mom and I are very grateful to those who have called, sent their well wishes and have been continually praying for his speedy recovery. >>>>>>> >>>>>>> My dad originally came in the hospital due to an infection he had related to one of his toes having gangrene and needing to be removed. He successful had his surgery on Sunday, September 15th, however we were waiting to see how his circulation would be after the surgery to determine if they needed to remove the other toes on his foot. As many of you know, he is a diabetic and with gangrene it has to be monitored closely. >>>>>>> >>>>>>> For some reason that we cannot answer (and neither can his doctors) since he was doing pretty well, his heart stopped on Monday evening but the rapid response team was able to successfully revive him. Since then, he has been in critical care in ICU and we are waiting patiently for him to get well. As of today, he's undergone a procedure which tests for any neurological damage since his heart did stop and they have medically induced a coma. They are currently slowly taking him off the sedation and we should have a further update on his status tomorrow or over the weekend. >>>>>>> >>>>>>> We just ask for your prayers at this time and we are staying positive and optimistic that this is only temporary. He's a fighter and has a zest for life so we're faithful he'll pull through this! I'll be sure to update everyone included on this email as the days pass and feel free to forward along to anyone I've missed. >>>>>>> >>>>>>> Thanks in advance! >>>>>>> >>>>>>> All the best, >>>>>>> Tiffany >>>>>>> >>>>>>> Sent from my iPad
