An Evening at the Theater

My wife got to use her nursing skills tonight. We went out to the theater to see a play called Greater Tuna. While we were in the lobby awaiting the play to begin and elderly lady collapsed and was having a very hard time breathing. She turned gray and began perspiring and couldn't catch her breath. Connie took her pulse, which was 110, not good. It appeared she might be having a heart attack. Unfortunately, she wouldn't answer Connie's questions, wanting everyone to leave her alone, but her friends who brought her and the theater management certainly did want her around until the Paramedics showed up. They got there quite quickly and took over. I was really proud of the job Connie did taking care of this lady in very difficult circumstances.

Quick Scare

When we drove home today from church we saw that the doors to the house and garage were wide open! I did what any Maclectite would do and rushed to my office to see if my Mac was there. It was. That's how I tell if we've been robbed or not. Anyway, nothing was gone, but the door and screen door were both wide open. The garage door, the small, not the large door, was open too, but nothing gone that I can tell. We finally decided it was just the wind and the doors must not have been closed all the way when we left. It's been VERY windy here the last week. I'm thankful everything was all right.

Connie Home and Doing Fine

Forgive me for taking so long to get this up. I have been pretty busy taking care of Connie and trying to take care of the school/church stuff at the same time. Anyway, Connie is doing great. Thanks for all your prayers. The Dr. removed a mass about the size of a soup spoon ladle. It had nerves wrapped around the mass, which he had to peel off. Doing that caused some numbness to Connie's right side of her face. She can't complete a smile or raise her eyebrow on that side, but that will come back as the nerves reattach themselves to whatever they attach themselves too.

There's not too much pain. The worst part is that Connie can't move her head from side to side for 2 weeks. We don't want her to tear open anything. The Dr. gave her permission to go to church on Easter Sunday. Originally he said no to any travel in the car. So, she has to promise not to hug anyone! That will be hard for my wife. She hugs everyone at church.

We thank you for your prayers. We have seen some spectacular healings in the last couple of weeks. God is good.

Different Perspectives

Yesterday Elizabeth came into the house from the backyard all upset. "What's wrong?"I asked her.

"There's something in the pool moving around!" she cried.

Of course, I already knew what it would be. She had found some mosquito larvae in the pool. (Hmmm, who's not putting enough chlorine in?)

But my mind raced back to when I was a boy. Finding mosquito larvae was great stuff! I could usually talk myself and any other boy into believing they were baby tadpoles. Or I'd get a fish net and grab a bunch of them to feed to my tropical fish. A jar made a new wiggler aquarium. They were so fun. Boys and girls, never the twain shall meet.
