Wishing and hoping! Disability#chronicpain#Ataxia
I am sharing a photo of my brother John and me. He's awaiting a new heart and we are waiting too. He's connected to a machine that continuously pumps blood into his heart, because his heart can't do it any more. So now we all wait for a heart to be transplanted. And wait. We brought him puzzle books at his request. But my sweet brother has lost so much weight and occasionally a bit of sadness crosses his face (he covers it up). We only stayed abiut 30 minutes because he tires easily. Driving home, I focused the positive things about this.
1.Hes at the best hospital in Texas.(was voted on) This hospital is huge. I mean huge! The medical center here is the largest in the world!
2.He has a great team of skilled doctors/therapists
3. His insurance is covering all of this! His transplant will cost a million$. He worked his job for years and glad he has their insurance.
4. The machine keeping his heart alive is a life savior!
5. Our family and friends are all praying for him. I pray for his recovery and his doctors hands. I pray for strength that I sometimes lack. I know that this is all in God's hands. Whatever happens, God has promised us that He is in control and we must trust His judgement. Knowing this, I am comforted. And I can breathe again.
6. So whatever you do today--job, shopping, playing with you dog, your heart is working! Be thankful!
