The Minister's Cat: I thought I was retired!

I thought I was retired!

Today was inservice at Evergreen ECU! In the afternoon my family doctor changed my tracheostomy before a crowd of interested nurses and the rest of the day I provided instruction inservice on other aspects of my care. Tonight I am quite tired while writing this blog but the high points have been the visitors I have seen. I have read their comments in the blog but it is so good to see them face to face. I feel like Paul in Romans 1:11,12 For I want very much to see you in order to share a spiritual blessing with you to make you strong. What I mean is that both you and I will be helped at the same time, you by my faith and I by yours.

Once a teacher, always a teacher, ya know! So wonderful to see you John...hear your voice again, see your great big grin that wouldn't stop...so good to have you back among us! Both of you...Laverne too...just all feels so right to know you're both back home...in your own place and space...God is good. What an enormous blessing to finally be able to visit with you in person...here at home...praise the Lord!
Love and hugs always, Deb

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.
