Perhaps you noticed I have not written any blog posts recently. Without any warning the evening of July 29 I experienced excruciating pain in my chest and abdomen. A 911 call and subsequent trip to the emergency room was the beginning of a perilous journey that included a real possibly of not surviving, miraculous surgical intervention, multiple days in ICU on a ventilator. After ups and downs of recovery, discharge and re-admission, six days in rehab, I returned home on August 28, to continue my recovery.
What I am thinking about at this time is gratitude. Gratitude for God’s providential care. Except for inexplicable circumstances, I would not be alive. I am grateful for the enumerable prayers that were offered and answered. Ann’s constant presence and care sustained me. Though memories are scant, I was aware of the presence and voices of family encouraging and assisting.
This experience has given me much to think about, but I struggle to write. Hopefully, as recovery continues my motivation and thinking will improve. I’m not sure what what normal will be for me as I recover, but there is much to be grateful for.
Still on the journey.
I’m so glad you’re feeling up to writing. One day at a time. Your words and thoughts will come. I’m looking forward to seeing you when you are feeling up to it. Still praying, Kendra

Sorry to hear that you have been so sick. I missed that along the way. I saw one picture that you were standing in a hospital but did not know what had happened. Thankful you are better??

It is good to see you writing again. Blessings to you and yours.
We are so thankful for answered prayers! We continue to pray for your recovery. Much love to you Ann.
George, I am so thankful for your recovery. As Christy and I were driving home today from a visit with my Mother in Tennessee, she asked me if you were doing ok. She had seen a post that made her wonder. Praying for you to continue improving. I know Ann and the rest of your family are watching over you.
