Merida, Mexico
Temple #92
Stacy, Paul and I left Vernon around 7 am. Paul drove their black car and Stacy rode with me in my car. Before we left, Paul put air in my back drivers side tire. We stopped at White Mountain Carwash for gas and paid with our debit cards. Paul followed Stacy and I.
Here are some of the things Stacy and I talked about on our drive:
"Follow Him", Inklings,(me), How evil the leader of Israel is, the horrible situation in L.A. and Spencer Pratt, Devin's health issues, John & Shelly's son who owns a six figure lawn system, and Stacy's horrible dreams and the drug, Quetiapine, who has helped her.
In one of Stacy's dreams she was told she would be all right as long as she didn't see a little girl. If she did, she would die. She said she saw a little girl at the side of her bed, screamed, jumped up and kicked a hole in the wall.
We stopped in Star Valley for air for the tire and for a drink for me.
I missed the temple on Friday and now I am breaking the Sabbath. It just goes to show you it doesn't take long to become a heathen.
We got more air at the Circle K in Chandler on Chandler Blvd. and Dobson. Thanks Paul for all of your help.
Sheri was at the hospital when I arrived. I asked her to come out and walk me up to his room. He is on the Surgery ICU unit on the third floor, room 320. He has been on this floor before. His nurse is a woman named Sam. She seems competent, but not very friendly.
Sheri left. Ian came to pick her up. She has the week off but is on pain meds and can't drive until she gets off them. James is in a lot of pain. The main concern right now is controlling that pain.
I left to go pick up a few things I needed, a few things I forgot, like a toothbrush and toothpaste. Dave and Laura were there when I returned. They came after church and didn't want James to be left alone. Thank you Dave & Laura.
Other visitors we had to day: Kim, Brian and Joe didn't come because they have both been sick. Alex & Jazmin were going to come but James was sleeping to Alex said he would come another time. Darrel, Trina, Addy, Rowan, Ruby, and Lola. They came back two at a time per ICU rules. Sam said Lola could come even though the minimum age is 13. She will be 12 on July 4th.
Rowan says he has every Friday and Saturday off and would love to come and help at the cabin. That is awesome Rowan and we will probably take you up on that. He says he's not afraid of ladders because he uses them all the time at work.
Sheri and Ian did a drive by dinner dash. They brought me roast beef and I met them in their car downstairs. Yum! Thank you!
Stacy came by for a visit and we had a prayer with James. Paul came a little later. James is so frustrated because he cannot get out of bed.
Charlie drew James a picture. We have received so many texts from family and friends. We are loved. Around 9 pm I went to Stacy & Paul's where I am staying. Joshua helped me by carrying my suitcase and bag upstairs for me. He and Alayna, (he says they are just friends) were sitting on the couch downstairs when I came in. I guess everyone else was in bed our at least in their rooms.
This is in the Show Low ER, getting James ready for his
helicopter ride.
