Oh Bethani, you look great! I am surprised. That baby boy is a doll too. You DO have so much to live for. Hey I will gladly share some of my excess poundage with you. If only it were that easy. LOL
We continue to hold you all up in our prayers. We love your whole family.

Wyatt is just too cute. We might could give him credit for helping you get back home seeing that he booted you out of the bed. LOL Bethani, you look great. Thanks for being willing to share so much with all of us. We have been praying for you everyday and when we miss hearing anything for a few days, we get worried. Our prayers continue for you. Know that we love you dearly.

Your little boy is a doll! I'm so happy you got to have a Christmas with your son, maybe not on Christmas Day but thats ok, we all celebrate at different times anyway.
We will be praying for your strength to build back up to where it needs to be. Eat lots and exercise will get you back to where you need to be. I hope you are able to keep this blog up, I have wondered how you were doing many times before all this happened and didn't know how to contact you. So hopefully we can stay in closer contact
Lots of love and prayers
Happy new year
Abby

So glad to hear that you are at Denise's and doing so much better.

I'm still praying for you everyday, as I know that each day is another toward full recovery.

We love you soooo much and are so proud of you. You are such a trooper.

HUGS, HUGS, AND LOTS MORE HUGS, Cori :)

Bethani,

Your beautiful smile just makes everyones heart melt. Keep up the great work, you look wonderful. Hand in hand with God. Well anyone with a few extra pounds would donate and you know theres more out there in Pentecost then any other. But I would help!!!! Love you and will continue to pray for muscle tone. LOL remember your safe in the Potter's Hands. I guess I'll have to fight Sandy for your little cowboy!!!

Bethani,

We are so glad you are doing better. All of the memories of section 12 came flooding back. I am trying to think of something funny to say to make you feel better. Its just not coming...lol Its great that you are getting well and as for the fattening up, well I know for a fact that if you drink 3 strawberries and cream frappachinos from Starbucks everyday (extra whipped, extra strawberries) it is proven to put a 1/2 lb on you per 24 hours. Provided you get Vente....lol I had to stop when I reached 400 lbs. They even took away my drive through privaleges. All of this of course when you are well enough to drink it. Once again, awesome to hear that you are getting better and we are continually praying for you. Tell Brian and Wyatt I said hi!! Love you guys

You scared me for a minute. Until I read the the captions, I thought those pics were *before and after eating* pictures. I was getting ready to lecture you about how user-unfriendly a onesy really is. Thank God it's Wyatt. Give my peep a high five.

Oh Bethani, I'm so glad you're home!! You're as beautiful as ever! So is Wyatt. Now, if Brian wanted a compliment, he should have gotten in the pics! LOl. (he's a cutie too)

2008 is going to be a better year for you sweetie. I know you have a long road ahead. You've already proven how strong you are!! God has created a tough cookie!! Wyatt will call you his SUPERMOMMY for sure. You know how boys brag about their dad...Wyatt will be saying, "My Mommy is stronger than you're Mommy!" The truth of it is, We admire Brian so much! Wyatt has his own Super Heroes. Samson and Samsoness. Lol. You have a good man Bethani!

Tell everyone hi for us. We will continue in prayer.

Love ya,
Kim Horton (and the rest of the special ks)

Bethani, you look fantastic! Your color is back to normal and you have such a great vibrancy about you.

You go right ahead and enjoy being 110lbs and 5'8". Do you know how many people would kill to be that size???? I know, I know....don't stay that that way for it is extremely unhealthy, but whenever someone starts bragging about how little they weigh, just know that you were skinner than them at one time! Hey, we all knew this liver thing happened for a reason! :)

We will continue to pray for you all. I am so glad that you are with family and able to be Wyatt's mom again. I know from experience that having to be away from your baby is the worst!

Hopefully we will see you in the near future? There are a lot of people in Stokton who have been praying for you and would love to give you all those hugs that have been saving. :)

Lots of love,

Amy Miraflor (and Brandon and Jake too..)

I forgot to mention that I hope you are using vitamin E oil on those scars?? If you have your staples out, rub vitamin E on them constantly.

And did your dr give you little silicon strips to stop the scar from bubbling? I had surgery on my ankle and have two scars, one on both sides of the ankle, and those silicon strips helped remarkably.You can barely see my scars thanks to them.You can find them at a Pharmacy or Medical supply store. They are sticky silicon strips and there are several brands. You will probably need several boxes as you have a larger scar. Hope this helps! :)

You are beautiful Bethani. I know I haven't posted except for once, but I have stayed updated through your blog and prayerful for your recovery. You're spirit has shined through this ordeal. I am so happy you are out of the hospital and enjoying time with your sister and her family. God bless you and keep you in your recovery. Your baby is a doll.

Bethani,
You look so good. We are so thankful to hear that you are out of the hospital and at your Sister's house. A little bit of home cooking will help you gain a little bit of weight. Wyatt is adoreable. Give our love to your family, and we will continue to pray for a speedy recovery.

Bethani, I'm so sorry I missed a posting on your Birthday....I wanted it to be yesterday, but oh well... HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLFRIEND!! I love you sooo much. I hope you had a great day, you definately deserve it.

Your mom told us yesterday that you're still doing good and have had a couple of really good days. THANK YOU JESUS!! He's the best, isn't he?

Anyway, I know you're busy recouping, but we'd love to see another update (maybe a pic of you in your red velvet for the holdiays) :) With your family surrounding you. We miss you here in Redding, but are happy you're in good hands.(I miss you too Denise, Redding isn't the same without the Bobo's)

Ok, I'll stop. HUGS HUGS AND MORE HUGS to all, Cori

Greetings! I hope you are still doing well. I still need to come see you, but I'm quite sure the white stuff is still hanging out and I just really need to quit making excuses. Someone needs to bring you a munch load of fat and calories, and God knows I can share mine with the skinny and needy. So, I'll continue to pray that you get mine. I hope its helping, but I ask for you to please forgive me as sometimes (ok...so ALOT of the time) I forget to pray them to you. Please have mercy, and I'll try to remember in the future. Well, hope you are still doing well, but I had to say greeting's! Love ya'll!!
