Ysabel Grace was born at 1:41am on July 2nd, weighing in at 7 lbs 8.2 oz and 21 " long. We are both fine and healthy. (and Ysabel is pronounced normal like Isabelle) (better pics when I get home to post them)
I got a call from Barbra (my stepmother) yesterday morning around 5:15am that my father died at 3:40am - the same morning Ysabel was born. :( I was just laying down to go to sleep when I got the call. I will not be able to make his funeral. My sister had called me on my cell literally as I walked into my hospital room Tues night after I first got here to tell me that they had to treat him for a high fever and only got it down to 101, and also high BP--which they also got down but apparently that was probably the beginning of the end. I am doing ok for now. I had a good hr long cry after I hung up the phone.
S'all for now.
Thanks for your prayers and support. They mean the world to me!
God bless!
~Karen

It often works that way in my family, it's like the old have to give place to the new.
I am sorry that you cannot be there for his services. Perhaps it will be a blessing because it can be difficult for a Catholic to sit through a protestant life memorial service.
My prayers for you, your family and your father.

Well, my father wasn't protestant, but it doesn't matter since my stepmother isn't having any sort of services for him anyway. He is to be cremated. To add to that, my stepmother already bought two extra urns, one for me and my half-sister, and intends to give us some of his ashes in the urn. (ugh!) My stepmother will bury her urn on their property (which you can apparently do legally in MO), next to her deceased daughter's urn. |

Your step-mother appears to be "trying to do the right thing" in her mind by sharing the ashes. (I'm wincing right with you on that one!) On the plus side, perhaps you (and your sister) can see that at least your portion(s) are taken care of in a respectful manner. |

And DEO GRATIAS I found out today that Fr. Demets was able to conditionally baptize my father as well as give him last rites and the do the exorcism of Leo XII! I really cannot ask for more than that. maryskey, I don't even know you and I just happened on your thread today. My deepest condolences on the loss of your Father and my prayers of thanksgiving for the healthy birth of Ysabel. If what you said above is true, your Father may have died a Catholic with all the Church has to offer! That is such a blessing. I know that when my parents and mother-in-law died good deaths with all the Church has to offer it was the greatest of consolations to me. God does provide. |

Bless the beautiful Ysabel, and condolences on the death of your father. I'm starting a novena tonight, and I'll include you all in my prayers.

So sorry about your father, but glad he got to receive the sacraments before he died. The baby is beautiful and so are you. |
