Lot's of Prayers Answered

Morning! We’re sorry that we’re behind in our journal reading. AOL has been down the early morning hours and we lost time. Thanks to Bill  for accepting our terribly long letters, we kept our self from going Loss-of- AOLJournals-crazy.

Bill gave us some great, great questions and thoughts. If there is anyone else with the same, please do not hesitate to write.  We’re feeling important this morning!!

There is excellent news to be passing on ... We visited with Sr. Theresa in the hospital again last night and she seems to have made tremendous strides forward with her health. They didn’t pin down anything in the blood or x-rays. She Is still weak, but can pull herself up now, without strenuously rolling.

She says though that they had wanted her for 2-3 days longer. Then, nun-or-no-nun, she had to sign an affidavit for them, that she’ll continue to rest at home without working. They are darn sneaky these nun-people!

She seemed happy enough to see us. She was actually smiling and stuff! Well, not great big smiles, but close enough! This time we brought her a few things that we thought up (one of her other favorite staffs and us). This other staff does a lot of errands with Sr. Tess so knew how to pick up the best nectarines and bananas. Sr. Said she would have them before her breakfast got there this morning.

We also sent her some bottled water for when the nurses are too slow in getting there. The retired lady who used to work at our Center sent along a small jar of peppermint candies for Sr’s dehydration and Sr. Flo and one of the bigger groups sent along home made cards. We did ask her a few business questions, but we kept it to only 5 minutes. Most often with Sr. It’s better to ask direct, than to guess what she wants done. She’ll always be an in-charge type person.

We caught her up on some of the happenings at the center. She likes to know hehehe - whose causing trouble (both clients and staff). I thought her asking was a great sign of her getting better, but we were cautious. We did a lot of assuring that everything was going well. We told her everyone’s afraid of goofing up her master plan. Sr. Is just a little over 5', but she has a terrific wallop! Sure will be good to see her coming back this afternoon! Spirit is uplifted greatly!

Great to hear Sr. Tess is doing well, I just hope that she will be persuaded to rest and not tax herself just as the doctor ordered.
