Maryanna’s Story

Site created on December 2, 2023

Welcome to Maryanna Horton's CaringBridge website. We'll be using this platform to keep her family and friends updated about her ongoing health situation. We so appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting!


We are asking for your prayers for Maryanna as she is facing some serious health challenges right now. Earlier this year she developed some infections on her lower legs near her ankles. The specialists believe the initial sores were fungal in origin. Despite months of daily care, IV antibiotics, three hospital visits, and the wound care specialists' tireless efforts to heal these sores, a resistant bacteria has taken up residence in her wounds and she is now facing double amputation of her lower legs in an effort to give her body a chance to heal. Please be praying for wisdom, strength, and courage for the long road ahead as this journey will be extremely difficult for her. Pray also for Dan, as months of caring for Maryanna has taken its toll on him as well. https://www.gofundme.com/f/caring-for-maryanna?utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_cp_guide_do&member=30988429

Journal entry by Esther Eckley

Hello, Family and Friends
Sorry it has been so long with no updates.

My mom has not had major changes going on recently.  She does have more energy now, then when she first got out of the hospital.  She is still on oxygen, uses her wheelchair mostly, her scoliosis continues to give her back pain, her wounds are very slowly healing, one is almost better a couple more are still a ways out.  In general things are going fine.  God is good!

Last Saturday we were able to help my mom celebrate my dad's 80th birthday.  It was an enjoyable time.

Take care you all, and thank you for continued prayers.
