Journal entry by SHIRLEY CONKLIN

Dear Friends & Family,

I can hardly contain my JOY, in the GOOD NEWS, we found out today!!!! Cheer has been at MountClair Rehab, in Ohaha, NE, since 1/4/21, following her 12/19/20, vehicle accident. Every single moment, not knowing when her insurance was going to say she would have to leave! And as I have shared, she had no where to go!! Needless to say this has STRECHED, our FAITH, to it's limits!!

I can't PRAISE GOD ENOUGH, as we just learned today, that her status changed to Long Term Care, on 2/12/21, when she moved into, her friend Rhonda's room. Rhonda is in long term care due to MS & wheelchair bond. Please pray Rhonda, as well!!!

No longer do we have to look up  shelters & other rehabs, which have extremely long waiting list!! I will share scriptures, we have clung to, if I can figure out how to do so. 

This is such an INCREDIBLE ANSWER TO PRAYER!!!  It has flooded us with PEACE!! THANK YOU, JESUS!!!❤️

Cheer just recently saw her, orthopedic doctor, to find out it will take 3-6 months for her fractured pelvic bone to heal, just half way! She has not been able to put weight on her left side. With all going on, it was just recently discovered, her left finger, was also broken in the accident, & has to be re-broked..OUCH. 

I helped, Cheer, apply for Disability for her cancer, 18 months ago, when I was there. It has still not gone through. She has only had Medicaid & food stamps approved, with a one time check from the state. She will have to pay for the Long Term Care, when she gets a settlement. Would appreciate any feedback on this. It has been so hard, yet GOD HAS PROVIDED EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!! 

This update is to GLORIFY GOD & to ENCOURAGE all of you, in your struggles!! GOD IS FAITHFUL, HE HEARS THE CRIES OF OUR HEARTS!!!  I like to pray scriptures, because I know GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES!! 

PLEASE BE ENCOURAGED❤️❤️❤️,

Shirley & Family

PS: Icing on the cake, for Great Aunt Cheer & Great-Grandma, John Elijah Philson, born in Switzerland 🇨🇭, 2/17/21!!!🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️
