Our posts have been the History of Nineveh, Jonah's witness, Assyrian interest in The Lord. The Chaldeans learning from the defeated Assyrians. The Babylonian Chaldean Empire led by Nebuchadnezzar II, saved Jeremiah, defeating the corruption in Judea. The rebirth of the children of Israel in rebuilding Jerusalem. And continuing to call the area Judea instead of the era Assyria destroyed Israel.
This week we lived the events sown.
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together, interwoven, for good
for those who love God,
who are called according to His purpose
Interwoven or all things working together is the Greek word sunergeō. Sunergeō is the root of "synergy" creating layers of cause and effect. The situations of good, some bad, Joy and some painful, producing layers of an effect nothing could produce from only one aspect.
Thursday at 4:45 PM, the cataract Eye Surgeon retrieved Edward to say he had made Edward an immediate appointment with a Rentina Specialist Surgeon. Go now. Edward came home from the 2nd appointment and said we have to go to the ER now to do the tests to show Edward is healthy enough to have emergency surgery on Monday. The phone rang from the Retina Specialist Surgeon to say he would instead place Edward first on Friday's surgery. Be there at 5 AM.
It's difficult to find an Urgent Care center open at night. The one named after the big hospital chain is open, but they don't have labs to do the lab work needed to acquire the tests for surgery. We headed to the Huge Hospital to do the tests, but the admittance 'clerks' wanted us to leave. We had to flat out refuse to leave and say our surgeon had sent us. They argued. We insisted that Doctor's Orders would be followed. As cities get larger, hospital care can wane. It indicates unwellness within the city. Part of the hyperparasitic problem of plague.
(As I was giving birth to an infant in the 1980s, the baby was going into the neonatal ICU, there was a nurse who wanted to give me a verbal, outraged lesson in why abortion should be normalized. I told her my child was fighting for life in the Neonatal ICU and she needed to find another stadium for her agenda. My son is now 38 years old and an estate attorney)
So Grateful. I had done the Thursday Post in the morning, just felt inspired. And at the ER, there were 2 seats far away from the rest of the ER with real illness, not just testing for wellness. And hand sanitizer. Lots of that. And the nurses were all good to us as we waited. Cheerful to find our place in the line.
So we were at the hospital until 10 PM. And up at 4 to make the 5 AM.
How would we find the layers to find the good?
Edward had cataract surgery twice in December and January. We found out on Thursday, Edward's retinas are extremely thin. He will have a second surgery to prevent another retina trying to detach. He had the cataract lens, so less of a screeching emergency.
Edward is still in his mid 60s, so he is young enough to bounce back.
We had discussed his double cataract surgeries and looked at the recoveries. Edward seemed to be blending in for a complete recovery. He spoke more about floaters occurring and eventually he listened to me telling him to go to the doctor. For a month.
My cousin Bob had his retina detach, at age 40, driving into Dallas, he had an hour to have immediate surgery in a city he did not live in. It had to happen so quickly, they called us after the surgery was complete. And they had to return in a month for the next eye. Edward had time to have tests and plan the event.
It did not happen during Easter and we were able to go to Church.
We were home instead of traveling. Some emergencies are like a rapid fire, this was more like being held by the hand to have a needed medical surgery. And the place we went took good care of Edward's medical needs around anesthesia. The doctors made time to see him.
I propped a mattress on the floor and set this upon footstools with the nose pillow the surgery center provided. This seems to keep his eye far above his heart for 72 hours and allows his eye to look at the floor. Boxes for arms falling off the mattess. Nothing like midnight inspiration. He was reluctant to listen to the surgeon's advice today, and the words flew. The result of not listening could be blindness. He had been propped up on the sofa's far upturned arm. But not happy. More equipment arrives tomorrow. Amazon, God bless you.
Now, if I can get Edward to look at the floor for a few weeks, we are golden.
Good!
The baby's further in utero testing because baby has been scooting out of the sonogram path and has a healthy heart. Thank you so much for your prayers. Much appreciated.
And as I called my son to say Edward was scheduled for emergency surgery, he got a text saying their house offer had been accepted. Only 4 months of additional surveys and appraisals. Now a first house in time for the baby.
Your Prayers are So Appreciated. Thank you so much. The Lord has been good to us. Thank You, God.
Abba, Father,
Seek good, and not evil,
that
you may live;
and so
The Lord, The God of Hosts,
will be with you,
as you have said.
Hate evil, and Love Good,
and
establish justice in the gate;
it may be that
The Lord,
The God of Hosts,
will be gracious
to the remnant
of Joseph.
And in Jesus - This Hope.
Faith and Love - we will rise up Believing Jesus.
Thank You, Father.
Amen!
