The Minister's Cat: Here a little, There a little

Here a little, There a little

Today I had chest physio and got a lot of clearing of my chest. THen the RT did an independent breathing trial and I was able to go 5 minutes without the ventilator, an increase of 2 minutes over my best trial before. These seem like small advances but they mean a lot to me. Pray that I will continue to improve on my performance.

Going from 3 minutes to 5 minutes without a ventilator is no small advance - it's huge!
Praise the Lord!

Just like the Shepherd went looking for one lost sheep. Just one, but that is huge.

He cares for the little birds and the flowers and..... well, we all know that God is in the details as well as in the big things. Without small things there would not be anything big

Praise God that He cares for the smallest things and, please John, know that we are starting to realize how big small steps are, thanks to what you are sharing with us

Thank you

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.
