Scenes from St. Mary's

This is how we framed the kids school pictures this year. Portable light weight self-standers. Sofar this has blessed six hosptial stays. Actually, we need to thank twins from NYC, Olivia and Laila, for giving us their beautiful pictures in this convenient porta-photo thingie, which we cooped for hospital stays. Secondary agenda with huge photos of the kids is to remind attending health care staff that the patient is a FATHER and not a grandfather, even though the liver made him look like grandfather. Afterall, don't you think they simply must heal FATHERS of young children?

Paramedic Extraordinaire Brother Tom and Mayo One. Tom works on the transport team but mostly on the jet. I might sneak the kids over to the airport tomorrow for their special tour.

During the surgery Tom gave us a tour of the heliport and hangar. Tom, Dad, Mom, Pastor Bob Nervig.

Psalm 121

Atop St. Mary's Hospital, Rochester, Minnesota.

Around the corner from the heliport.

Dr. Rakesh Suri, Bob's surgeon. Canadian.

This is what ICU nurses do non-stop their entire shift. Checking the tubes. Monitoring the vitals. Analyzing the numbers. Chatting with nervous family. Over and over again. One nurse. One patient. We got Tony for two shifts. He said he couldn't sleep last night because he thought he forgot to tell me something about the second surgery.
