Hospital Time

My dear friends,

Well, here we are once again in UCSF. My liver has gone into rejection and they are treating me with some very strong medication( OKT3) "made from mice!" to try and help. The medication has been working successfully so far, but It does take a toll on my body so please pray for my strength. Wyatt was able to come up yesterday to visit us for a couple of hours. It felt so good to hold him again. I have two treatments left so hopefully Mon. or Tue. we will be able to once again go home. Please continue to pray for us. The road that has been set before use seems tough but we know with the prayers of our friends and family God will see us through.

We love all of you so much
Bethani and Brian

Bethani, I am so sorry you are going through this rough time. I am continuing to pray for you and that you will recover quickly without any setbacks. If you feel up to surfing the net, check out my blog to view a couple videos of Bryce's quartet singing. www.janaallard.blogspot.com
Maybe that will help pass some of the time. I love you!

We have never met you but you have been in our prayers. We are missionaries in Africa, you have been on the missions prayer list as well. Your brothers and sisters in Malawi are also praying!

For His Glory!

Dear Bethani: I'm glad that your treatments are almost complete and pray good health will return to you in short time. I'm glad your mom and dad were able to come for Mom's funeral, it was a blessing to see them again. Just wanted to let you know how much Mom enjoyed the time you and Brian spent with them, she spoke of it often. With our continued love and prayers, your cousin Sherry

Bethani (and Brian & Wyatt too),
We are continuing to pray for you in this latest development. You looked so great when we saw you at CLC & we really enjoyed our time spent with you. My parents still want to have you all over for games. Please keep us posted & look us up when you come back to the Stockton area. We love you guys -- God didn't bring you this far to leave you. He is still in control & I believe He is going to show HIMSELF strong. Stan, Tanya, Ryan, Josh & Breanna Pruett

You are such a trooper. I know it is difficult to manage being a wife (particularly of a preacher) and a mother - and then have such health concerns. However, when I read your words, I am inspired. Bethani, you are a bright and shining jewel that touches so many of our lives. We love you - and are praying for you, Brian and Wyatt.
