Sick
Teamwork
I took my daughter in law to her physical therapy appointment this morning and when we got back to her house, she was hurting pretty badly. She took some ibuprofen and sat down in the recliner and put her foot up. My son came in from resting in his bed. He is still recovering from […]
Getting Stronger
I went outside this afternoon and was somewhat surprised to see my neighbor out walking. I had not seen her in a couple weeks, but had seen her husband who said she was slowly recovering from her surgery. She reported that she started in home therapy today and introduced the physical therapist that she was […]
Healing and Grateful
My neighbor and friend had been having severe pain in her stomach and intestines for a couple of months. She had been back and forth to doctors and emergency rooms until finally she had to have extensive emergency surgery on her intestines. Even when that was done, there were problems with infections. She spent over […]
Faith Through Struggles
This afternoon I was able to talk with my neighbor to find out how his wife was doing. She has been in the hospital, having had surgery over a week ago. While she is getting better in one way, she is still struggling in others. He doesn’t yet know when she may be able to […]

My mom has had some troubles, but I had been talking with our nurses about it. Everything the caregiver […]
Laughter
My mom has been feeling pretty bad for quite some time and her cognition continues to decline. Last week we found that she has had a UTI for who knows how long. She is currently on her 2nd round of antibiotics. We have also made some adjustments to her other medications. It was good to […]
Healing and Conversion
I heard a story today about a woman who had an aggressive type of kidney cancer and was given a few months left to live. Before the diagnosis she was a strongly independent person, in control of her own life. During the treatment she had a strong conversion experience. While she believed in God previously, […]
