Mary's Back and Forth Days

Some of you asked to be kept current with Mary's recovery. Yesterday she was released from the hospital, much to every one's surprise. The doctor noticed that she was eating real food for breakfast and sent her back to the intermediate care facility. He neglected to examine her at all, so didn't notice that her feet and legs were very puffy and that she was retaining fluid. To understand this decision, it is important to know that three patients were coming to that floor from surgery and there were no beds available. Today her family doctor visited her, ordered an ambulance and sent her right back to the hospital. She is required to go to the dining room for her meals at the very nice intermediate facility. However she was short of breath just walking a few steps.

She is now getting the treatment and care that she needs for this condition. Her spirits are good. We had a little talk about her being ready to go to heaven to be with Jesus at any time. She is ready and knows that would be wonderful for her. We are very thankful for that!
