Brenda Update
My Dear OFF Family,
Sorry I didn't get an update to everyone yesterday. I spent all day at the hospital and had to come home to make phone calls and get some laundry done. It's pretty darn exhausting watching someone sleep. LOL Not to mention that I was up to midnight Saturday night baking cookies because Brenda had volunteered to provide refreshments for church yesterday.
Brenda was moved from ICU to a regular room tonight. Now I can watch TV while she sleeps. LOL It looks more like a hotel room, with a comfortable recliner and sofa, tv, movies, and internet. When I got to the hospital tonight, she had just got back from walking the halls and already had 4 visitors. There were 5 more visitors while I was there. The flowers and cards are stacking up already.
The doctor told me yesterday that her white count was low but they hadn't given her blood, but would when she needed it. Guess that was this morning. I went to the hospital tonight for about four hours and then had to go back to work because I had a report that was due today. I got it submitted at 10:45. What a long day.
Yesterday at church, the pastor asked me to inform the congregation about Brenda during the time of prayer. After I explained everything, he asked me to stay up there and he invited the entire congregation up there to surround me (some touching my shoulder) while he prayed for her. After the service, lots of people offered to help in anyway they could. We've only been going to this church since September and they have really made us feel so welcome. It definately is a loving, caring church family.
Our pastor visited her last night and told me something very amazing. One of the ladies at church had something tell her to pray for a woman with intestinal problems. She didn't know who, but then when she heard about Brenda she was amazed.
The outpouring of concern has been unbelievable between OFF, Indiana board, and our church. The prayers are working and we so much appreciate them. Sometimes you don't realize how many friends you have until something like this happens. Brotherly hugs,
Floyd
