Joyce said “Yahoo, I can walk!” “Praise the Lord for yesterday!”
Doug said “Amen!”
Yesterday morning Joyce was so weak she would get tired out just walking across the room. A couple of weeks ago, Joyce had asked to get a blood work-up. She was scheduled for that yesterday, but didn’t think she could make it. She called the Cancer Center and they said to come in for a saline IV, so we did. We went to the IV and transfusion center about 10:30. After the saline IV Joyce mentioned that we had canceled the blood work, and the nurse said “you should never cancel blood work, they should not have let you do that; let’s get some blood and get it done.”
We went home and just when we were done with lunch, the nurse called back and told us Joyce’s hemoglobin was 5.4 and to come in for a transfusion as soon as possible!
So about 11:45 Joyce was getting 3 units of blood and a unit of platelets! We left the hospital about 8:30 pm, the two nurses had stayed an extra hour for us!
What if Joyce had not scheduled a blood work-up?
What if she had not mentioned it to the Nurse?
What if the two Nurses were not Angels in disguise and had not responded like they did?
How many Angels were with us yesterday?
