This has been one of those weeks one would not like to repeat. A week ago today my husband Rob had his cardiac test results apt. He had flunked his tests. He will have an angiogram tomorrow and they expect to do bi pass surgery. His blockages are front and back and top and bottom according to the stress test. He's not quite 54.
My oldest brother who had a massive heart attack 10 years ago is facing heart failure now. They are on their way from MT to Salt Lake for an evaluation for a transplant. His testing starts tomorrow also.
A great niece whom we almost adopted about 8 years ago has been placed in a psyc hospital. She and her sister are being raised by their gma. The courts decided that she was a better fit for the girls and she was a closer relative..... We were so disappointed and hurt for the girls. Their lives have been so hard. But with my health, I am sure it was better for us. But not for them:(
My surgeon had to have surgery himself so my knee replacement wont be until December sometime... poor guy!
But some great things happened too. We were able to visit our friend who had a brain tumor removed a month ago. He's struggling but is in recovery. Still praying for him.
And yesterday was the best day of the week! We rode with our other two kids and gkids two hours away to visit our youngest son and family. Their little boy will be two tomorrow. So we had a big BD party and visited and had a fantastic day!!!!!!!
On the way home we were close enough to one of the forest fires to see the flames and the helicopters. One of the campgrounds that we used to serve was evacuated day before yesterday and the road closed! It was incredible and terrifying all at the same time. In the 4 years we were in the woods, we only had one tiny fire that close and it was put out quickly.
It's hot here now. we aer in the 90's daily and may hit 100's later this week. First week of school too. Poor kids! Most of our schools don't have AC at all.
I would appreciate good thoughts and prayers sent our way if you would. Things are so overwhelming right now. But I know God is in control and am doing my best to trust in HIM!
Blessings to you all,
Elaine

Oh, Elaine
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you are going through so much right now. Your plate is full as my mom used to say. It is a good thing Jesus is right there to carry it for you.
Still, it must feel overwhelming. You are in my prayers along with your husband and brother and family. Prov. 3:5,6 comes to mind.."Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and he will make His paths straight."
