The Minister's Cat: Extra chest physio needed

Extra chest physio needed

Today when I got to GF Strong the physio and respiratory therapists were pummelling John - well really his chest. He had a bad spell in the night where his oxygen levels went down and so first thing this morning they were working on his chest to clear everything out. Then after lunch he went back to bed and they had another go at him. When I left him tonight his chest was pretty good. We are praying for a better night. Would you please pray with us as tomorrow is John's second family team meeting. Pray for clear communication and good understanding between all the caregivers and the family as well.

Ahhhh communication.

And most of us who don't do it well, admire those who do do it well.

I am constantly amazed when Jesus says things that they are so clearly said and that they pierce the heart with truth.

I will pray that there are no shadows in this up-coming conversation.

Calm in the storm - blessings and praises

1 ATV was on the trail minutes after Johns accident. He was able to get help ASAP while Laverne was able to stay and assist.

2 The cement blocks had been removed from the beginning of the logging road so that the ambulance could back in right away.

3 The nurses at the hospital were the right ones. One worked with John and one graduated with Laverne. They were Connie and Ellen.

4 Good friends Lee & Don, Bob & Pat were at the hospital quickly.

5 Laverne was able to fly with John on the Medivac helicopter as this is unusual.

6 In vancouver Beth Sykes a Cascades church friend was coming on shift on ICU after a week in Mexico.

7 Tom Freeman a friend was in town to Visit John the first day.

8 The many prayers and help. Those who have helped by taking DVBS, feeding cat, gathering belongings, (and bringing them down), and getting the bikes home.

9 Karen from 100 Huntley St called out friend Patricia and said she sensed that a close friend needed prayer.

10 Sister Eleanor was able to get a quick flight and be there before surgery.

11 John was able and ready to get a tracheotomy in good time instead of days or weeks later.
