It’s been a bit of a battle for Patty as she has found medical personnel not willing to listen to her.  You see, it’s not that she’s qualified in the “gone to medical school way” but is highly qualified in the “I’ve been managing dad’s weight and health for over 3 years and know what it takes when the fluid begins building.  In fairness, the problem was communication.  The personnel were all taking their orders from the attending physician at the hospital.  He’s in a rehab facility and the orders were passed there when he checked out of the hospital.  Patty just requested that personnel contact Mr. Shurley’s primary care doctor in town.  That doctor has all his records and has gone through his care with Patty the past 3 years.  Well, that wasn’t done and the fluid continued building until he reached almost 20 extra pounds.  It was then that Patty was felt she was immediately removed from every Christmas Card list in the facility.  ha ha ha  Needless to say, the primary care doctor AND his nurse showed up at the facility yesterday to get everything on track.  Praise the Lord!  It’s going to be a slow process, which of course we were aware, but there is already a slight difference in his weight and a great deal of difference in his mental state of mind.  So important to the healing process.  Patty will remain there…….until………

I continue trying to focus on what God has for us and this ministry as I deal with the vocal issues.  We covet your prayers as we seek His will.  Lord willing, I will be heading to Yazoo City over the weekend and be there until my December 31st service in LA.  I will blog anything of importance should it come up but appreciate your patience in checking in knowing that I’m not blogging all that often these days!

Blessings,
