She was calling a hospital in Michigan while she was in Florida. She desperately needed help speaking to her long-time friend. Her friend’s daughter said her mom had been convinced she would never get home. A few days earlier, while her friend’s daughter was there with her mom, they had spent 23 glorious minutes on the phone and it was so therapeutic for all of them.
Her mom was improving, but she was not yet able to dial or hold the phone. They needed someone there to dial and put the phone on speaker.
When she made a call to the nurses’ station, as she began to explain the situation, the unit secretary laughed softly and said, “Your timing is impeccable. I was just talking with your friend’s daughter. She just walked away! We were discussing how we can best set this all up for you.”
They had a lovely conversation, including plans to avoid obviously busy times. They could make this work, and it was so important to have her friend feel hope again. She sent this text message to her friend’s daughter about having spoken to the unit secretary:
- “Very good mojo going on. I just called the hospital and I spoke with the unit secretary just moments after you had talked to her about my calling!!!”
A few hours later, her friend’s daughter sent this reply:
-
“She told me, LOL. Mom is doing much better. Most likely moving to rehab tomorrow.”
And 15 minutes later, this update:
-
“She moves tomorrow at noon. She didn’t think she was getting out of this hospital. This will be huge for her to get moving around. She’s been in bed now for weeks.”
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
~ Psalm 91:11
