Yesterday turned into a medical day for
some reason. It started with my knee
doctor appointment. I guess that should
read “surgeon,” to be more accurate.
That was at 8:20. I love those
early appointments. Never very many
people on hand. Things go much quicker. Doctor seems fresher. And speaking of the doc, all seems good with
the knee. She still assures me that the
occasional stiffness and soreness should pass … in about a year. Sigh.
When I left the appointment I went by the
hospital next door to see Hutch, the guy who just had brain surgery. Both he
and his wife were sound asleep, so I was careful not to wake them. I did leave a message and my church business
card.
On my way home I stopped by station
two. Nothing medical about it, just a
visit to check in. I stayed and chatted
with the guys for a half hour or so.
Always a lot of fun to hear their stories.
After lunch we headed into Texas to make
yet another hospital visit. Jennifer was
hospitalized with a surprise diagnosis of congestive heart failure. It was a surprise because they went in
thinking she had broken her ankle again.
That was just a sprain. The heart
failure part was caught early on, though, so if she does what the docs say she
should be OK for the long haul.
We stopped at Hobby Lobby while we were
right there to pick up some more pieces for the scrapbook Chris has been
putting together. Pretty soon we’ll be
able to remember our Disney vacation from a few years ago. While there we wondered aloud if Cailyn ever
found a costume for her school project on the Greek goddess Artemis. There was a Party Store across the parking
lot, so Chris texted Nathan to see about the status of the costume. Seems one had been ordered, and was due to be
delivered “By 8 p.m.” Not so helpful
when the presentation was due to occur at 5:30.
We ran over to the store and sure enough found an actual Greek goddess
costume … in her size. We got it to her
in plenty of time. Just your normal
everyday superhero grandparents saving the day.
WooHoo. As it turned out, the one
they ordered arrived literally as they were walking out the door on their way
to the school. She was already dressed,
though, so all worked out well. Not to
mention that her project was great. Good
research. Good costume. Gorgeous little Greek goddess …
Philippians 2:13 says, “for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill
his good purpose.”
Father, please be with Hutch and Jennifer
as they recovering and begin the new healing process. Amen.
