Mrs. Don-o, what happened to you?!? After all you did re Notre Dame!

After St. Teresa of Avila had a slip from a carriage into some mud, she quipped to God, “If this is how You treat Your friends, then it is no wonder You have so few of them.” If you’ve said anything like that in this situation, then you’re in good company! :-)

Of course I’ll pray for you!

Monday update

She had a rough night because the pain med was suppressing her oxygen absorption, so the night was spent in some degree of pain until they got that all squared away, which they have now done. She is comfortable, as long as that left arm remains still.

We have yet to hear what the expectation is for any discharge, We are certainly not about to rush things. She has not yet gotten out of the bed. We get to practice patience and strive for serenity. It’s especially tough, because Ben departs back for Cali on Thursday.

My sis and my mama also visited tonight and brought beautiful flowers from the garden. I took her some grapes and a bean salad that I had made.

I actually believe I have heard her repeat that quote. I’ll remind her next time I see her.
