The Minister's Cat: Blessings

Blessings

Sunday is always a day when it is easy to count my blessings. This week the results of John's blood work came back and his kidney function is pretty well back to normal. His turns are decreased and it is not bothering his skin - another big thing to praise God for. The demonstration chair is much easier for him to drive so he wants to practice more and he is going to get extra practice with the OT assistant. Although he has required extra suctioning the sputum is not coloured (he doesn't have an infection). My cough didn't last and finally John has had unexpected visitors - some who we never knew before.

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.
