15 Comments on “Day 291, Saturday – thank you & update”
Guys, we just don’t know what to say. It’s not just the geography it’s the general feeling of helplessness that one feels is truly galling. I guess there’s no chance that the nurses pager actually does work as a transporter? Failing that, let me know if there’s a good to time for me to Skype you. Love form Simon, Jluie, Tawna and Perran
Dear Donna, Ron, and Ryan, Hope you have plenty of time to share your faith, hope, and love together during this suffering. Your family have blessed us all through the years, and we will keep praying for the best for you through it all.
Some scriptures for the day..Matthew 21 v22: Jesus said: “And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith”, and Ephesians 3:16..Paul writes: “Out of his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you the mighty inner strengthening of his Holy Spirit”. Peace be with you. Curt
Dear Ron, Ryan and your many other family and friends,
I, too, am struggling to find any words that might be appropriate, any explanations for the Why? questions that might be fathomable, and I’m coming up with bubkus. I’m sorry…
I hope the weekend gives Donna and her medical team the healing and right mix of drugs, blood and oxygen she needs to comfortably get off that ventilator… Like you said, Ron – the changes in goal setting is amazing…
My prayers continue for you and your family. The Lord does indeed work in mysterious ways…
We too are at a loss as to what to do or say that might help. Just know that we are there for you in our thoughts. We are hoping that Donna will be off the ventilator soon and that she will start to feel better. Please take care of yourself, Ron. I know you’re taking good care of Donna.
As always, my thoughts tend to be private. That said, the overwhelming warmth and sentiment shared by so many friends, bonded only by experience to Donna, is perhaps her greatest legacy. It is an honor to be included in the same list with you all in this difficult time. Her mom and dad, and indeed her brother would have been proud, but not too surprised to read these gracious comments honoring her special infectious spirit. She has a rare grace.
Her cousin,
Roger
Roger – Donna speaks of you often. Just last week she was telling me again how precious you are to her.
I agree ever so much that her legacy is bringing people together.
With her permission, I shared her journey with some of my friends. They tell me they are grieving for her even though she never met them. What a wonder her life has been.
I’m going to see her tomorrow – our agreement was I don’t come to hospital (well, first agreement was I’d look out for Ron), then I’d be there when she came home…which we both thought would be the next step. She’s been such a joy in my life! Have known her for almost 40 years…My heart is SO broken…why would such a terrible thing happen to such a good person?
Words can’t truly express how heartbreaking the past two weeks of posts have been to read. I just want all of you to know how much I love you all. Wishing I could be there with you.
Ron, Donna, and Ryan, just know that all of us are at a loss of what to do other than prayers and positive thoughts! I am heart sick with the news and am keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers and trusting that God’s loving arms are holding all of you close and that you feel his loving presence at this time. Love Donna Mayfield and family.
Ron,
Words escape me as We learn more of what you guys are going through. Just know we’re keeping you, Donna, & Ryan our prayers.

Ron,
I’m sorry I can’t be with you at the hospital. As you know I am unable to leave home for long periods of time due to Jack’s condition. Praying that you will eventually share quality time with Donna.
