Natalie's Guestbook

Natalie, I loved reading your journal and wanted to thank you for sharing. We live in Highlands NC. I have moderate mitral valve regurgitation and I am currently educating myself for what may be in my future. We are familiar with Northeast Georgia and thrilled to know Dr. Wolfe is so close. I hope you are doing well and getting stronger day by day. Again thank you for sharing-- your journal helps easy my nerves!

Hi Natalie my name is Steve. I am waiting for the same surgery. not looking forward to op but wanting to get back to soccer again. (56 on Oct 16) Good to hear of your fast recovery I hope mine will be similar Steve from Aust

Hello my daughter...sometimes I really wish that I was closer. Maybe I could just do the driving the little people from place to place and grocery shop. I continue to pray for your healing and that your boutiful energy will gradually return. I break down and cry when I really think about the miracle of your life and the courage and fortitude that DR . WOLFE has. I can\'t imagine all that you have endured this year. \"Mamma\" would have been 102 on September 2. She had incredible strength against many odds. We get our strength from family happenings. Rest , plesse, when you have the chance. Hug those sweet little people lots every day. Our God is a loving God and will continue to take good care of you. Love always, Mom

Hi Natalie, I\'ve been out of touch and i think my last post never made it to print, i must have missed hitting the \"submit\" button, argh! Thinking of you often (and all of the Uebe\'s) and hoping your recovery is progressing, if even in baby steps. I imagine you are riding the highs and lows of such a recovery, wishing you patience to move through each day and faith that you will feel strong again. Our best always, Megan (and the rest of us B\'s!)

Hi Natalie..this is mom checking with you. Please and thank you for continuing to update your journal of life. You seem to be more real when you are talking to fellow recovering heart valve surgery persons than when I ask \" HOW ARE YOU FEELING, Natalie ?\" Your precious Cate, Eloise and Griffen have no idea how strong and determined their mom is. May GOD continue to keep you in the palm of his hand as you and yourhousehold celebrate your life. I most definitely miss the mostly happy commotion at your house , I am reassured that all is well. Love you Mom

What is really \"NORMAL?\" I think normal is what is happening right now. That makes everything normal. Whatever is in the moment is supposed to be here. You are as normal as anyone so take each day in stride. The days you feel good, enjoy that day. The days you don\'t feel so good know that a good day is ahead. And most of all start each and every day talking to God and thanking Him for the wonderful gift you have; family, friends, health and healing, and Him. And ask Him to help your day be good or give you the strength to get through the tough days. Sometimes I think He lets weird things happen in our day to see if we will ask His help. Honestly, I\'m really not that good at calling on Him all day either. But remember, no matter what\'s ahead of you, He knows what it is and how you can make it through. And before you close your eyes at night, thank Him for the day and pray for a good tomorrow. Rita and I send our Blessings and prayers to you, Mark and all the kids. Have a good tomorrow.
