Well, I spent the evening in the emergency room with my "adopted mom" (a dear lady from church that we lived with while building our house). She had an ultrasound a while back and they told her she had some gall stones and needed to schedule surgery. She wasn't hurting so she never scheduled the surgery. Well she started hurting the last few days and it got real bad today and the doc told her to go to the emergency room. We were half way there when I remembered that I had tried a new med for fibro pain. I didn't know how I would react to it but thankfully it was fine. It actually helped quite a bit and only caused a little light headedness. Yay! After some morphine Mrs. H was feeling pretty good. Her bloodwork was completely normal so she was sent home with pain meds and told to schedule the surgery. I hope she listens this time. (Hi Mrs. H!)
T was stuck at work all evening. Computers went down and he had to stay until they were up and going. Obviously he couldn't work on the vehicles since he was working on computers. Enter good friend from last night. He looked at the Jeep and put some tranny fluid in it and came and got R. She drove it home and he followed behind to make sure it was ok. Thanks M!! He thinks it's just a broken tab on a hose that goes from the transmission to the radiator, or something like that. We're praying that's all it is. He is taking tomorrow off to work on the vehicles.
R is staying with Mrs. H tonight to make sure she's okay on the pain meds. She didn't even hesitate when we asked her if she would stay the night with Mrs. H. She did a lot of grown up, responsible things this evening.
When T and I finally got home we went out to check on the van. Guess what? It started. Glory to God. We'll still need to replace the battery but we're thrilled that it started.
What a week so far, and it's only Tuesday. Things to be thankful for; Mrs. H has no infection or obstruction and could come home. R and A's good attitudes and willingness to do what was needed. They got good report cards today too. The van started and ran fine. The Jeep got home and may just need a hose replaced. Good friends! The Jeep stalled at a place where there was room to get way off the road. This is especially miraculous considering the road he was on. The van stalled at the end of the driveway and we were able to get it into the barn by pushing it with the tractor. I'm really impressed with this new med. I had a sample of it for about 4 months and finally decided to try it. It's good to know that when the fibro is really bad I have something that can help. God is good. All the time.
