OF COURSE her dad cried to HER.   Not apparently the other daughter who seems to be more involved with the parents.   Because Jilly is the center of the universe.

Having said this, I feel bad for the family.   Same thing happened to my sister last summer.   Aneurysm.   Nothing the doctors could do.   The patient advocate told me that even if a neurosurgeon had been standing right next to her when it happened, nothing could have been done.   Her kids had to make the decision to pull the plug.

Sarah moved out last year at 39 and now she is 40 and getting married in August. Her fiance's name is Kory (K-o-r-y) Ballinger. 

Her sister Anna is going to accredited college called Appalachian Bible College and she is 29. She is working as a camp counselor. 

Her sister Mary is going to the same college as Anna and she is 25. She is spending the summer as a missionary in Africa.

They're all about a decade behind the ages when most normal people have these kind of life experiences, but better late than never. Maybe when one of the kids hits fifty, they'll be allowed to get a paper route.

What does KJV Bible say about this? What will JillR’s family do, leave it up to God’s will? I feel sorry for anyone having to deal with this, but JillR makes it all about HER, so it’s tough to have sympathy for her.

This is very sad. However, surviving an aneurysm is not always a good outcome either. 

Unfortunately, we've seen that Jill loves funerals--for strangers, for her living sister's paralyzed legs, for children who died tragically, for which she was pointedly not invited. Of course, everything is always about Jill, and she has to plaster details all over social media. Maybe she should just back off this time and help her family members support each other.

Why do they always say "doing life" instead of living or any other normal word?

Update on my Mom. 😭

She had a cat scan and it was a pretty bad brain bleed - aneurysm.  She is in CRITICAL condition.  They transferred her from Huntington, WV to Columbus, Ohio.  David and I are here at the hospital with my Mom and Daddy's Pastor Stone drove him here and he is with us also.  There is a surgeon here that is willing to try to do surgery on my mom, but it is critical and she could die from it. 😥

None of us slept last night and we are all just heart broken.  💔  My Dad cried out to me that he can't imagine doing life without my mom.  Please pray for a miracle!  ❤💛  

Thank you.  ❤️ 

1 Peter 5:7
 “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

Psalm 90:2 "I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust."

 

Nothing is private for the people in her life, nothing.

Waiting for the grift for funding so Jill and Dave can stay at that nice Drury Inn while waiting on her mom's outcome.  I used to live in Columbus and did my residency at a large hospital there that got a lot of transfers from W Va and other rural areas; Jill's mom is probably there. Excellent hospital, very up-to-date and has terrific facilities for the critically ill.  It doesn't matter though, if she's not responsive and it's been more than a day or so, her chances of significant recovery are low.  It sounds like she's got a doc who is a specialist in the surgery, but that won't make much difference if her brain is already severely injured.  The brain doesn't recover easily, especially in the elderly. There are fates worse than death, I would not be very optimistic, based on the scant details she provided.

I feel for Jill's kids who are undoubtedly going to be bearing the brunt of the narcissistic, over the top, attention-seeking sideshow that Jill will use to bring all eyes to her and her suffering at the expense of her father and other family who are also going through hell.

She certainly buried the lede. I’m not the type to announce my loved ones’ health status to the Internet, but if I were, I definitely wouldn’t wait until the second paragraph and after writing all about myself first. “Who knows Tim and Pat?” is the type of sentence that kicks off an invitation to your parents’ anniversary, not to announce that your mother has suffered a stroke.

My ex's cousin was getting ready for work. When he didn't show up, concerned workers went to his home. He was dead on the bathroom floor. Same thing. He wasn't even 35. 

And  yes, it is all about Jill and WILL be all about Jill. As sorry as I feel, this is another star moment for her.

I'd like to know WHERE in the Bible that is.   Because jesus was a fun guy.   He was hanging at a wedding and turned water into wine.   He convinced his followers they could walk on water (you KNOW alcohol was involved in that one).  Oh man and remember the time he revived the dead guy just so his sisters would't miss him anymore and be sad?   Yeah real bummer of a dude.  

Same spot in the Bible where he talks about homosexuality.

Things we can always count on Jillpm to do:

• Make someone’s situation all about her

• Be inappropriate in medical situations

• Lie and grift

She’ll do it this time. She will play the martyr. Not saying she’s thinking “Yes, $$$!!!” I am sure she is concerned for her parents. But since I cannot imagine how they make any money through whatever it is they do for income, playing up tragedy is her go-to move.

Hopefully the hospital was strict with them. And I think it's just Jill and Deadbeat Dave. No way would even Jill bring her kids into this situation. It's the first intelligent thing she's ever done.

Ohio hospitals follow CDC policies for health care facilities.  That means all visitors must wear masks at all times.  If she is at the facility where I suspect she is; they do no permit any visitors under age 18 and all visitors must answer basic screening questions before entering. If they take off their masks or behave like jerks as the Caldwells did when visiting his mother; security would probably be called and they'd be removed. They also allow only 2 designated visitors in any 24 hour period and those people are given wristbands.  If anyone else wants to visit, it has to be a different 24 hour period and they need to be designated and get one of the bands.  Since it sounds like her mother is too sick to designate her own visitors, Jill's father would be in charge.  I presume he will be one of her daily visitors and so, even Jilly might not get in to see her mother daily.  

However, virtually all hospitals make compassionate exceptions to these rules and, if Jill's mother's condition is as critical as it seems; they will probably all be able to visit preop, except the kids; and, if she is close to death, they would be allowed as a family to be with her.

[GeeGolly]

Sadly JillR lives for trauma and drama, whether real or invented, and always at others' expense. She really is a sickening bitch.

Here's hoping someone took pity on those kids and had a nice, big dinner delivered to them, complete with enough ice cream for everyone....then, that person came by later to remove all evidence so BME would be none the wiser.

And not just cheap pizza. Something with veggies and fresh ingredients. Pizza can be very good, but I get a feeling they get the cheapest possible.

IKR? It would be wonderful if her mom survived the surgery and they successfully treated the aneurysm, even if her mom ended up in a wheelchair afterward. She isn’t too bright.

I had a double hip replacement surgery 7 weeks ago.  Knees are even harder to recover from than hips.  Jill has never mentioned her mother’s surgeries.  I cannot believe she didn’t send a daughter over to do the cooking, shopping, cleaning and laundry for Pat.  She definitely would have needed that help for the first week, preferably for 2 or 3 weeks.

But no, she needed all of her many daughters for herself to do all of the work at home.  And go on endless rv trips to warble in tiny churches.

[sagittarius sue]

I checked out the Noyes on Fundie Wiki, and Ma Noyes is only 73,  Her birthday was on 7/4.  Surprising (or maybe not) that Jill didn't see fit to mention that with all her Independence Day hoopla.  Pa Noyes is a bit younger, turns 71 next month.

Maybe Angie or Lisa sent someone? I think Amy's kids are still a bit young.

I agree with you all. What has JillR been doing these last 6 weeks while her mom has been recovering from knee replacement? Grifting cars and food and whining about visiting Lord Daniel. I'm guessing she left her mom's knees out of any grift because it would bring up questions about her own knee.

She didn't even wish Pat happy 4th of July birthday when she posted the parade videos. She's such a selfish bitch.

[Salacious Kitty]

Jill just posted that Pat made it through surgery. Sounds like it was successful, but it will be a long haul recovery. 

Of course, she posted an accompanying pic of her hugging her mom's neck. At least she's masked, but still tasteless.
