The Minister's Cat: Resuming Independent Breathing

Resuming Independent Breathing

I slept all through the night last night with no interruptions. In the morning I had range of motion, chest physio and the bike so I got lots of exercise. In the afternoon we did an interview and then had my first independent breathing trial in PR. All these went well so I decided to go for a ride and visited VIU, Powell River campus and got a big welcome from the staff. On the way back we did some window shopping and arrived back at ECU in time for supper. It was pouring rain but we survived. I am thankful for all the things I can do.

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.
