Never Say Never Update

Okay, we are having to send my brother back to the place that we said that we wouldn't. His insurance (if you want to call it such) won't allow the change. But, I guess because we are on top of things, the other place is working more with his wife. They are going to pick up his lift chair that is a recliner so he can elevate his feet, they are getting a larger t.v. (which I know isn't a health issue, but at least he won't just be sitting in a dark room.). We will insist on his health concerns, rather than take "no" for an answer.  I sure wish that insurance companies had more compassion, or the facilities, drs, clinics, etc. would take any insurance. VERY frustrating!!!!

Well, we've added a bit more to our "book". (Maybe I should say novel.) Joel had to go to the dentist this morning and yep.........he has an abscess. Couldn't be something simple. It's a wisdom tooth and isn't straight and because he just had bypass surgery, he has to see a specialist. We went to get a round of antibiotics, which he will begin in the morning. Hopefully, this will be the last of his attention getters.  In the big spectrum of things, WE ARE STILL VERY BLESSED!!!!!  I can honestly say that I didn't get rattled with my typical "what next" thoughts that I usually have. We have been amazed at how God is taking care of things. When we got home, we had a check in the mail with a sweet note. Was I surprised? Yes and no. Yes, because I am amazed at how precious & caring our friends have been through all of this, and no, because why would God all the sudden stop taking care of us, when He's been so faithful to us through all of this? I just wish that Joel didn't have to have anymore painful things.

Back to my brother's update. We went by this evening and he sounded soooooooooooooo much better.  His feet are hurting him and they are a mess, but they are taking care of them. He has the cath. out.  He said that he was feeling so much better and thought that he was going to be transferred back to the rehab. unit tomorrow. 

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS !

I've gotten several requests for me to keep sending emails, rather than visit the Blog spot. I don't mind a bit, so just let me know. Or, let me know if you don't want to get them.  Some people are getting them via of others forwarding them. I don't know how to control those.
Just don't want to be a pest or wear out my welcome. Visiting my Blog Spot really isn't hard. If I can do it.... anyone can! Just ask my kids. On the 'search' area type in
http://www.sharedjoy.blogspot.com/  then hit 'enter'. My blog will pop up. Or click on the highlighted address and then save it to your "favorites" and you won't have to keep typing it in.

Please keep Joel in prayer in the morning. We are praying that it can all be done with the one office visit and no other x-rays will have to be done.

Keep encouraging someone, especially a child!
Love and Prayers to all !
