All about my DAD!

(The picture was taken moments before they amputated my dads right leg.)

I love my dad. He has been in Ogden Regional going on 20 days. He just had his 3rd and I pray final surgery. It all started near the end of June... My dad had a sore on his foot (being a diabetic, this is common). He was going to wound care and dialysis. Well, one day they were kept late at a dialysis appointment..they spaced my dad's wound care appointment.. only to realize that the doctor had gone a vacation for several days...almost 2 weeks go by..My dad is very sick...my mom looks at his foot and notices that it may need immediate attention. She takes him int0 a everyday "horse doctor". He says yep...that's gangrene..take these pills...see ya later...I tell my mom that she needs to get him back up to wound care stat! Well, due the holiday they can not see my dad for four days...my dad was so si

ck with infection that he had to be taken, 2 days later, to the ER in Logan..they send him straight to Ogden Regional where the real mess begins...
(<----There is the final result!)

Now we try to move on to healing...I wish that it did not come to this, but it did. I would like to tell you all the medical mistreatment my dad received along the way..but I am so tired....so worn out...that I can only talk about the here and now. They really want my dad to go to another "rehab center...a.k.a. NURSING HOME...where they can "help him" get better.. I know that there is no getting better for my dad. He is at the end of his life...he is tired of fighting....I want more than anything to help get my dad home...where he can die with the respect that he deserves! I love you dad!!! I will fight for you to the end!

Personal Testimony

I was doing "well" for the average joe. I had a husband, a home, two beautiful children, a dog, 2 cars. Something was missing. It was LOVE. Not just any love it was the LOVE of JESUS! It was 2 a.m. I was on the phone. I was telling my friend how the weekend, husband, children they were just not enough anymore. Something was missing, and she told me what it was. She shared Christ with me. How He died for me and my sins, and all I had to do was accept Him. How could I do that? I had done some things that I was not to proud of.. How could I ever be forgiven for them? Then she told me that He paid for them already and that it is a free gift, all I had to do was accept HIM. I could not come before God with anything, but the blood of Christ. That was the only thing that could make me whole! That night, I prayed, I accepted Christ as my personal Saviour.. You too, can do the same.
