Well, we are nearing a week away from Joseph's heart surgery. His surgery is October 2, 2008, and all the preop testing is October 1, 2008. We will be leaving a few days before that to get settled. We were fortunate to have someone watching the house and dogs while we are gone. That's a good thing. God has blessed us with little bits here and there from loving and generous people to help with the cost of gas. We cannot afford the expensive hotels of the area, the hospital can't get that much of a discount so that didn't help, Ronald McDonald house and the executive director said they just cannot help us and don't have the space. We tried retreat centers who simply said they could not accommodate us. We are beginning to feel like Joseph ad Mary at the Inn - I'm sorry there's just no room. We considered an RV, but the ones we could get if we sold Scott's car just need way tooooo much work and would not be reliable on the road.
So, we are going camping !!! Joseph will be in the hospital until we can go home, and the kids will love it. We found a nice camping ground not too far from the hospital. It is a reasonable drive. It has flush toilets and hot showers. Most days we will be at the hospital, so we probably won't be doing a tremendous amount of camp cooking. But at least we have a camp stove from our previous camping trip years ago.
I promise to take pictures.
We are still taking donations to help with the cost of gas. Thank you to everyone who has been so generous with their time, their talents, their finances, and their things.
God is good !
