Profile Information

About me:
Native of Arizona, with 2 great young men, 23 & 19. My youngest left for Bootcamp March 4, 2008, 10 days prior to his PIR came down with Guillian Barre Syndrome a virus which attacked his nervous system. He went from bed bound to wheelchair, to walker than cane. He is now home after 6 months with the choice to return with in 18months to finish Battlestations and continue on with the Navy.. He has a deep respect and great attitude.
My child's FIRST name only (No Last Names Please!):
Levi
My son/daughter is:
Enlisted
I was the proudest of my child when:
He did everything he could think of to prepare me for his leave to the Navy. He took me to the store to buy a lawn mower that would be simple to use for a girlie mom. He talked to his friends to make sure they checked on me. He set up my other son with an e-mail address so he can communicate with him when he is able to use his lap top. He let me spend the last few days babying him for my sake not his.
When my son/daughter first spoke about joining the service I:
Was concerned or afraid
As a new Navy mom, the most important thing I learned was:
I need to have patience, and trust that he will be okay and pray that he is protected by the grace of God.
My son/daughter is currently in the service or retired, and now I believe:
The Navy has a lot to offer

Levi is Home!!

We finally have him home! He flew in Wednesday afternoon, Wendy from Queens Creek, was also there to greet him and keep me strong, what a wondeful mom, she brought me a bouquet of flowers and snacks for Levi and Joey. We kept Levi to ourselves to help him transition back, Levi is doing well and we are so happy to have him home. Went to church this morning to give thanks. We appreciate all of our wondeful moms here for the prayer and support you have given us during this long 6 months. Your words… Continue

After leaving for Bootcamp on March 4,2008 and coming down with Guillian Barre Syndrome and spending his time rehabing back to normal and being on Ship 17 since May 9th, my Levi is finally coming home, the most sweetest words this morning " Mom, I'm coming home by orders came in !"

I am so overjoyed, and God has heard all of our… Continue

Levi did his best.

Well he tried the best he could to become a Sailor. But God must have another plan for Levi instead. The Guillian Barre has returned, the numbness is from toes to ankles. He met with a Neurologist, he will not need the IVIG for any further treatment, rest and moderate exercise is what is needed now. He has met with different personnel this past week from Medical Director to Social Workers. Next week he will have another complete physical just to see where he is at for further recommendation of c… Continue

Levi left a message

I feel so bad for Levi, he called home and left a message that he didn't pass and hoped we were not dissapointed him for not being able to graduate this Friday. He knows his dad and I carry our cell phones, but I think he just couldn't say it to us. He has been through so much and it's okay, he can try again, I wish I could just let him hear that, but I will write him tonight. Please say a prayer for him, I know he must be hurting.

Hope your Thanksgiving was good, having your son home and all.

Frieda, Good Morning Dear, jikes, do I have a million questions regarding Stephen, however I will keep them to myself. Do you have a phone number for his Mom? Here is my private address, I need to ask her if they have done certain treatments yet, sounds like he has a similar version of this beast as our son had, that is a long long process. Our son had the best US experts on this Virus, he was at the University of Mi Hospital and had three think tanks working on his case. So I feel he had about the best the country had to offer, they had flown people (Physicians) in from 4 other University Hosp.If you care to share your private address that would be nice. One treatment in particular has not been mentioned at all, which is the most effective. so any way, please use hiuli47@yahoo.com,. As always our prayers are with you and yours and with Fran and Stephen. thinking about you, Uli
