Early Tuesday - I'm A Horrible Sister

This entry is dedicated to my sister, Kathryn.  I've told you before that she has to have major surgery, and this morning is the day.  Kathryn is supposed to report to the hospital in Shreveport, LA at 0530 and surgery is scheduled for 0730.  And I forgot to call her tonight.  Can you believe that?  I was concentrating so much on doing something for the kids cause I had been sick and it's Spring Break and all, that I forgot to call my own sister the night before she has major surgery.  And I'm not even there. What kind of horrible sister is that?

Actually, truth be told, I didn't totally forget.  I remembered at 9:30pm MST and it was 11:30pm CDT (damn daylight saving time).  Kathryn is a early sleeper, always has been ever since she was born.  "Grandma" I call her.  Can't be up much past 9:30pm or 10:00pm.  Me?  I can stay up until the sun rises, which is why I work the night shift I suppose.  So, I didn't call.  I was really upset until David said, "You know you'll be up when she has to be at the hospital.  Call her then."  Okay.  Right.  2hours ahead now.  I'll call her at 3:00 or 3:30am.  Thank you Lord for the time change, but I think I would be up anyways.

Here is a prayer sent your way Kathryn.  Get a good night's sleep, and rest easy knowing that the Angels are surrounding you (did you bring the Angel I sent you?).  When you wake up everything will be fine, and I will call you.

Love, your favorite sister! Nana ;)

 

From Betty:  The Lord is in control, and I pray Kathryn has complete healing and the tumor is benign. I also pray for wisdom and compassion for the surgeons and nurses and all involved in her care from the minute she walks into the hospital until the minute she is discharged and continuously through her treatment. And I pray for the Lord's peace that surpasses understanding to be on Kathryn. Jesus, please watch out for Kathryn. She needs Yahweh Rophe, the Lord who heals, in her life, Lord. You are the Lord, the God of all mankind. There is nothing too hard for you. So we ask Lord that you watch over Kathryn and completely heal her of this tumor. In your precious name, we pray. Amen.
