The Minister's Cat: Hollywood North

Hollywood North - Alive and Well

This morning I began my career as a movie star. They shot photographs of my chest care and getting transferred into the wheelchair. These still pictures, along with an appropriate description of what is happening will be put together for a manual for my caregivers and the staff at ECU, Next week they are bringing a video camera to record the events happening here at GF Strong. I am relieved because along with training caregivers it will be a reminder to me of what I need to direct my care. In the afternoon Laverne and I took time out to look at the gardens and yards close to GF Strong. Please pray that the video and handbook will be ready to take to Powell River when I leave.

Well after that photography and honour and glory I am glad that you are still speaking to us.

:) That is such a good idea.

You have done so very much in the past few weeks.....

Congratulations to the both of 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.
