ME-as I go through this zany, marvelous, difficult experience called: "LIFE"!

The sky tonight looked like grains of sand! It was an great night to be out. The sunset was magnificent! It perplexes me how people can see these wonders, these miracles from God and not believe in Him. I thank god for this day and this night and all the wonderfuls miracles My Lord has set before me. Praise Be To God! Love and prayers,            Evelyn Pinto            October 31, 2015           Pictures taken by              Evelyn Pinto                10-31-15

Easter Seals meas to me the promise that one day all people with disabilities will be give a chance to be treated  fairly.  I hope to see the day when the world will acknowledge that people living with life long disabilities have just as much and as many reasons to live and succeed in this world as anyone else    "If my accomplishments don't fit yours or society's views accomplishments, then change yours and society's views of accomplishments.  Peace!                Evelyn Pinto               October 25, 2015

I'm home from the hospital. I returned home last night. My friends  and family, it is not easy, living with being sick. It's even more difficult, when you need the acute care of the hospital a lot. I don't like to go this way but, this thought  is at the back of my head, creeping in at me. The thought is dying from my medical problems; never regaining this life back. Though, I find comfort from my faith in God and His promises, I'm still scared. Believing that there is a reason for everything and knowing that I'm still very much alive, I'm going to live, really live, my life. I'm going to make the most of this precious time that God has given me on this Earth. I'm going to continue to love people and love Life! I'm going to enjoy these precious moments with friends and family, that God has given me. In even those very stressed times when I happen to be so sick, I am going to thank God for my life and for the people who help me to get be...

This is what early morning looked like from my hospital room window. God's goodness and mercies are renewed every day!   Praise The Lord!  Evelyn Pinto  October 22, 2015 

The world has become overwhelm ing for me.  I can (1) get a jacket and go outside  (2) listen to some music (music calms me a lot)  3) Pray! Want to know which one I'm going to do?  I'm going to do all of the above  And  Thank God  For all the blessings My Lord has given me!  Praise God!             Love and prayers,          Evelyn Pinto          October 21, 2015

I am still in the hospital.   I have been inpatient since Wednesday. I'm being treated for recurring pneumonia with several IV antibiotics, simultaneously through the day and night. Worried that so many antibiotics, for so long,  may make me antibiotic resistant, I went to my attending with this concern of mine. We talked. It could be worse for me, if we don't treat these recurring pneumonia s this aggressively he said. I have to discuss this more with the specialist on Monday. I wish people could realize how difficult it is living with being sick, over and over again and being inpatient, over and over again. I try to stay +.  At times it's more difficult I wish there were a magic pill that would make all this sickness go away. I haven't found a magic potent-Yet! I think about home and my family and friends a lot. I miss them so, so, very much! The staff at the hospital I go for care are experienced, kind, compassionate.  I interact well with them ...
