He's Over the Ocean June 6 2006
As I write this he should be over the pacific ocean headed for LA from Auckland, New Zealand. I am praying very hard that he tolerates this trip well and gets at the other end in decent condition. Its not easy even for able bodied people. Once he arrives in LA he will be transferred to an Air Ambulance from American Care Club and taken to Walla Walla, Washington, to Turning Point Rehab at St. Mary's Hospital. Lance and Jennifer are hoping for a few minutes to see him once he lands in LA. The Ambulance Co, thought that would be possible. He is suppose to leave LA at 4:00 p.m. and arrive in Walla Walla at 6:30 p.m.
It was very hard to say goodbye for both of us. It was hard leaving the hospital nurses who had cared for him over the last 3 weeks. Most are very dedicated to the work and were a comfort to me many times watching them care for Bobb. It isn't their fault that staffing is just so short. But its a condition of health care all over.
These next 2 weeks are going to be hard. Not knowing what is going on in Walla Walla most of the time - particularly going into communication poor Papua New Guinea. Internet is one of the slowest in the world and phone calls are an astronomical price compared to about 3 cents a minute here in Australia to the U.S.
I have to trust the Lord to the unknown over this time of being in what feels like a black hole and needing to be up for LiChel and her graduation festivities and the anquish of both the girls leaving close friends. We will be arriving in Boise on 19th of June. Won't have time to worry too much because there is much to do in the next 10 days before we travel.
Hear my prayer, O Lord; let my cry for help come to you. Do not hid your face from me when I am in distress. Turn your ear to me when I call, answer my quickly. Psalm 102:1-2
