There's a senior couple that goes to my church . Their names are Charlie and Betty . They both have a lot of medical problems . They have been good friends of mine for a long time . Betty has mobility problems and hasn't been to church for about a year and a half . Charlie has his share of problems too but has come when he was up to it .
I'm trying to make this short . Betty got bit by a brown recluse spider on her right leg 6 months ago and it complicated the heck out of her other problems . There was talk of taking the leg off but she refused . During all this Charlie has been worried to death . I have talked with him many times . The church ladies helped clean their house , other members , friends and family have helped too .
Charlie called me last Wednesday saying they were putting her in the hospital . She was not responsive and the bad leg was seeping from several places . The hospital was making heroic efforts to save her but her condition only worsened . Day before yesterday the doctors advised the family that they might want to consider putting her in hospice . She had been unresponsive for two days and her situation only worse , she had sepsis . Charlie and two family members roused her enough to explain what was happening . She told them she was ready to go , she was good with it .
I went to hospice at noon today . As I got to her room a very good and nice church lady came out of the room as I was coming down the hall her name is Judy . She saw me and walked fast to me . She was excited and said Betty was better ! Judy said since I was there she was going home so there wouldn't be so many in the room .
I won't try to explain how I felt . I won't explain how amazed I was and this ain't my first experience of this kind . I have already offered praise to our Lord .
I would ask you to pray for Charlie and Betty . There's no guarantees that she will recover but the hand of our Lord is working in their lives .
When I left them Betty was eating a Chinese take out lunch her sister had went and got at her request . Said she was really hungry .
