No big news...

Mari is out of the hospital - resting and waiting for news from the doctors. It could take a week to hear the results from the surgery.

Please pray that Mari will be able to sleep well. Night time is always the hardest time - and sleep can be difficult.

Good News! - Mari's dad, Dave, arrives in New Zealand on Sunday morning.

Hi Mari

Thinking of you! Glad yesterday's op went well. Hope you're recovering quickly. Go the drugs! Let me know if you're in need of some trashy mags to read!

Lots of love, Liz RobbMarkham xo

I've been thinking about you all day. I really miss you and I mumble little prayers for you constantly. I'll be praying that you sleep sweetly tonight dear friend.

Thought I'd write a quick msg in between making up reasons why I should be given money to study genes involved in making plant oils. There - that should send you into a deep sleep. I'm yawning with excitement myself.
On the more fascinating front, Campbell started crawling yesterday and looks like a very slow prancing horse. He sends very wet, dribbly kisses to you all. Oh and Jack has finally stopped drinking the bubble solution. He is now stamping everything instead.
Great that Dave is arriving soon - something to look forward to!
Much love to you all

Dear Mari...thinking of you in this time of waiting. I read this today and thought of you "He will rejoice over you. You will rest in his love; he will sing and be joyful about you." ZEPHANIAH 3:17. It is my prayer for you today and over the next few days that you will be able to 'rest in his love' as you wait for more news from the Dr's. At night time I pray for the power of God's perfect peace to surround you, and fill your heart & mind that you might have restful and healing sleep. Much love and prayers, Lisa X

Hi Mari
Great to hear that the op went well and you're out of hospital. Trust you manage to get some decent sleep, and that nobody bursts into your room in the middle of the night...!

Just spoke to Matt and he told me all about your situation - felt really strange, as if I should do something! Don't know what exactly but just talking to Matt on the phone seemed insufficient. I'm not mental or anything - suppose I just care. Matt convinced me to pray for you - feel a little hypocritical but I'll give it a go. Anyway, I reckon you've still got the constitution of a tank - the only time I've seen you ill is after too many red wines. Apparantly lettuce sandwiches and watching snooker on TV help people sleep, as does listening to whales singing - I understand there's a man in Kaikoura who can interpret dolphin communication???

I've just read over my message and it sounds like the ramblings of a mad man. I am thinking of you here in Southampton. If I don't get banned from using this blog for the nonsense I've written I will continue to keep track of your recovery and will have some hard evidence on the lettuce front next time x

Love always

Loyd

Hi friend,
I miss you heaps! Just want to meet up at Frasers or Circus.

In the words of some old singer 'you are always on my mind'. Think about you first thing, all day, and last thing at night. Love you heaps and heaps! So glad your dad arrives this weekend - for your sake and your mums! That will be lovely for you all, to be united.
Praying for you, Phil and your amazing whanau. Getting anyone who has even just heard of you to pray for you! 'yeah, my really hot bridesmaid' seems to ring a bell with most people!! Cant tell you how much i love you Mari - praying for better times and strength and sleep.

all our love,
melissa, mark and ronaldo xxxx

My first waking thought this morning was of you. I imagined you laying in your bed surrounded by little rainbows... all over you and all over your room. Sounds kind of new agey, but it made me smile.
