God’s Still Here
When I used to go with groups of youth and adults to Workcamp for a week, each day we would talk about where we saw God in that day. A friend of mine shared a couple of “God Sightings” with me today. One of them was about a friend of his who was driving on […]
Ready For Rest
It has been one week since my mom has been home from the hospital. In this period of time, she has had 4 doctor’s appointments, 3 visits from a physical therapist, 1 visit from the occupational therapist, 1 visit from a nurse, and countless phone calls from various medical places just to check up on […]
We Are Blessed
I made a quick trip to the grocery store today. I recognized the man at the checkout who I had seen before working in the produce. He was always cheery and chatty. When it came to my turn, he asked what good thing I was up to today. The question caught me off guard and […]
Better Than Text
Usually the only mail I get is bills, solicitations, or advertising. I was excited when I saw an envelope hand addressed to me. It was from my good friend who I saw in the hospital when my mom was getting ready to go into surgery. Her sister was getting ready to go into surgery at […]
Prayer and Peace
I have been talking to God a lot over the past week and a half since my mom’s heart attack and additional medical issues. But I have been completely off my usual routine and what I would call my “formal” prayer time. Later this morning I decided it was time to get my room cleaned […]
Her Name Was Mary
As my mom continues on her road to recovery, we have set up Home Health Care. My dad has struggled with the concept and having many different people treating my mom. Today a nurse was scheduled to come in and check the surgery incision and drain site. Her name was Mary. I prayed pretty much […]
Making Meals
My sister who is here for the weekend spent most of yesterday making out a menu and shopping for food to put together some freezer bag dinners for us. She was up bright and early this morning chopping vegetables. Once she got all the onions, garlic, zucchini, peppers, parsley, cilantro, ginger, (probably forgetting something) lemon […]
Experience Speaks Volumes
Today a physical therapist came to the house and asked my mom tons of questions to get her Home Health Care set up. The whole thing was a little disconcerting to my dad – first of all, there were so many unnecessary questions that were asked. The therapist explained that is a result of Medicare […]
Back Home-Again
After another 3 day hospital stay, my mom came back home today. She has been through so much, it amazes me how she keeps on going. This recent stay was the result of stroke-like symptoms, though not as bad as the last one. After many tests, the doctors feel she did not have another new […]
Connected Through Prayer
Well, my mom ended up back in the hospital late last night. We figure she had a small stroke. The doctors are doing their whole neurological workup to see if they can determine what happened and what might be done to prevent another one. My poor mom. In the midst of struggling with my own thoughts […]
