Many people have been asking questions about Joey and Beth Reed. The couple had been at the front of my mind when we began looking into the possibilities of a Parousians group at UL-Lafayette. Over the summer, Beth's health began to worsen, she learned she has a genetic condition that causes tumors growth. With three brain tumors and several more near her spine, Beth has lost her hearing and much of her lower body functions. In recent weeks, her motor skills in her hands, her speech, and her ability to see objects in the distance have slipped. She was hospitalized following seizures Friday.
Doctors had successfully removed two tumors from her spine last month, and they have pushed up surgery to remove one of the brain tumors to the week of September 17.
I visited Joey and Beth this weekend. Beth, obviously in tremendous pain, is still a beautiful 22-year-old girl with a sharp wit. She is putting up one hell of a fight, never crying because she trusts in God. Joey is beginning his second year as a religion teacher at St. Edmund in Eunice, and he is doing everything he can to be a rock for both his wife and his students. Please continue to remember them in your prayers.
