In what grade is your son now? Last time I *looked,* he was just 11- now 14 or 15?!
My older son called last night to update me on his relocation and new position, with a Hematology/Oncology Clinics (4) Group on the Treasure Coast of Florida.
He is absolutely loving it and the cancer patients they treat, most between 50 and 70...the head physician is just the kind of person Steve is - ever so caring and patient with each one.
The practice has its own laboratory for speedy processing - and a RESEARCH LAB!!
While the head physician takes 2 weeks of vacation after tomorrow, while he's gone is putting Steve into the labs to use his excellent computer skills - his experience years ago as Assistant to the Director of Healthcare Ministries in Lakeland, controlling all the medical inventory needed for the teams in their South and Central medical missions, Steve going on 4 of them, using his mastery of Spanish to interpret for the group in Uruguay and El Salvador and Guatamala - to see where they can better control the costs - research a new computer system for those areas, etc.
All of my children have great senses of humor and are easygoing and fun...at one point in our talking last night his cell phone died...I waited for him to call back, and when it rang and I said "Hello," he piped up quite plaintively,
"I lost my Mommy!!"
This is my volunteering fellow who joined the South Florida DMAT (Disaster Medical Assistance Team) team BEFORE 9/11 - and in Hurricane Charley one year ago, was one of 4 who manned the Emergency Department in Punta Gorda (real one at Charlotte Memorial blown in and destroyed), with 12-hour shifts in their two tents (well equipped and lab techs and nurses) every day for 11 days...
It is so gratifying to be at this end of life, Tgirl, and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
He eventually will be involved in research for cancer in their lab - - what if God enabled him to make a breakthrough, TexasCowboy?
A prophecy was made for him in 1985 by Bishop Bill Haman that he would be given special knowledge beyond that of his peers...
I am so blessed that all 3 of my children walk with the Lord, and desire to be used by Him.
My wife called this one "Tummy Time is Fun!". She, my wife that is, also took some pictures a couple of weeks ago, and the change in Miss V, especially her size!, is amazing. We'll be heading down to Austin later today to see Miss V and to celebrate her Aunt B's birthday, which was last Wednesday.
