mom + some random thoughts
mom finally came out of mount sinai - back into the comforts of her own home. though she's still confined - being attached to an iv dripper 24/7. a nurse will visit her every every night @ 6pm for the next two weeks. the doctors decided to 'up' the dosage of antibiotics even more. (even though she's "free", dad is still uneasy.) i must admit, this has been the longest week that i could remember.
here's a scary thought. mom suggested to me today that she didn't know what as scarier: being in a hopsital for having bacteria in your heart or the nurses at mount sinai. both mom and dad have lost complete trust in the quality of the canadian health care services during this last eights days.
just today, a ms nurse toke a whooping total of 3 (!) trys to find mom's main vein in her left arm. (can you believe that?) as a result mom just looks like she got in a serious arm fight before she left.
i'm simply lost for words.
on a much much more giving-all-glory-to-God note, sista gaile finally ties the knot tonight (!)
i've noticed in the last week (or two) my creativity in writing, designing, anything! spiralled downwards.
yesterday a good chunk of my friends went to montreal to compete in an annual architecture competition. i was supposed to go but i guess that didn't work out just as well.
something really neat happened wednesday. cy asked me if he could take my bible to montreal with him. at first i didn't understand why but in the end i gave it to him - told him to read (if he has the time) all that i highlighted and drew little symbols beside. can we say thank you holy spirit?
though this week had been extremely dramatic and slow, i've noticed even more God working in my life this week. can't explain that one yet but i definitely do think it has to do with prayer, yes. less of me, more of Him.
looking back at this week i've also realised that i'm dangerously becoming the 'busy christian'. its overwhelming. must seek that balance.
then alex v1.0 shared something that just pointed my eyes back to where it should be. 2 chronicles 7:14 says
"if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will i hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

yay. glad your mom is out of the hosptial... just a thought about trying to find a vein in your mom's arm. that doesnt necessarily mean the nurse is bad... your mom has had A LOT of blood taken out of her system lately and generally veins start to collapse after that... so it can be difficult to find them... (just a thought as my mom is a lab assistant and has to take blood from peeps all the time)
praising god your mom is home.
and yes the candadian health care system sucks.
dear anonymous (who are you?)
ha. thanks for your insight, didn't think about the 'after draining so much blood its harder to find the vein' factor. unfortunately the nurse mom had was horrible - you'd have to meet her. i just couldn't believe she IS a nurse (horrible to say but just the way she treats patients is simply UNACCEPTABLE) oy. i forgive her though.
ha ha. you dont know who i am.
i know you forgive her! cuz your such an awesome forgivin guy. i can imagine how awful nurses are. you should write a letter to the head nurse. seriously. it IS unacceptable!
ps.
GOD is SOOOOOOOOOO good. we should get together after this silly project is over and talk about how great god is...
