I am Grateful for Good People Who Listen & ACT on "Feelings"

This is Nurse Ashley, who saved John's life.  She left work late 2 weeks ago, went home a different way than she normally does, stopped when she saw the firetrucks at the accident, and she was the one who ran into the woods to John's car and intubated him, stayed with him while they worked for 20 minutes to extract him from the car (after they took care of 2 other cars).  Amazing fact that she works in Shock Trauma where they brought John.  She knew exactly what to do to help him on site.

How do you thank someone enough for doing such an amazing thing?

This is Nurse Asley & her husband.  She is holding the pink potholder I crocheted at the hospital & a Book of Mormon from me.  Friday morning John got a 10-11 on Glasgow Coma Scale.  Two weeks ago he was a 3 when they brought him in.  Still working on communicating by nods, gestures and guesses.

Miracles are happening.  His life was spared, and he is progressing rapidly, surprising the staff.  I am struggling to balance positive faith/hope against worry and reality/plans for future (while trying really hard to not freak out over medical bills).

On the way home from the hospital and after the good news that John is moving to REHAB already, I got a text offer for dinner.  It included fresh raspberry pie with ice cream, and yummy mini individual quiche and deconstructed guacamole salad (black beans, tomatoes, yellow peppers, avocado-chopped, not smashed, onions with 1/2 cup olive oil and 1/2 cup lime juice & lime zest, salt, pepper to taste, cayenne if you want).  Carolyn stayed for dinner, ate with us, which was perfect.

We have been blessed.
