Sacred Stories

He had planned to travel out-of-state to attend the memorial service for his nephew. A couple of days prior to departure, at his sister’s urging, he made the decision to not travel because of a severe weather forecast.

Turns out there was another reason for that guidance….

He had severe forearm pain and went to the emergency room near his home town.

Blood clots were found in his arm, a result of having been taken off blood thinners due to a recent GI bleed.

He was transferred by ambulance to a large hospital in a nearby town he was familiar with, and after a team of doctors reviewed his history, he will be having an “open” surgery today to remove the clots.

He and his family are so grateful he can be closer to home and that he is working with doctors that know his history.

This is another example of how LIFE takes everything into consideration.
