Oh my gosh, I just met one of those "angels in everyday people" you always hear about! The hospice nurse who will be seeing mom came to the house today to introduce herself; get and give information; and get to know us. She walked in the door with a beautiful smile and hugs all around. At the McCoy house, that's all it takes.
Our guide-angel's name is Diane Gupton from Odyssey Healthcare. She shared alot of information but shared herself too. Her mom died of breast cancer 2 years ago so she knows, personally, the fears and the sorrow we will be dealing with. You know, God has dealt us a blow but He's sent us someone beatiful to help us through this frightening journey. How blessed we are.
And on we go....................
Anyone who has read the book “The Shack” will understand that I meant absolutely no disrespect when I said that I hoped hospice would send Mom a big black woman to care for her. When the hospice nurse pulled up to our house today, I said to Teri, “God’s here”….. Wow…..
ReplyDeleteTeri, I just read your April 8 and 9 posting to Sharon Rowland on the phone. We are so thankful to hear that Vonnie will be with your mom and the family next week! Praise the Lord!
ReplyDeleteAs for the news about Angel Diane Gupton from Hospice, that too, is God coming through for the McCoys!
Thanks for mentioning the blog again yesterday.
Our hearts are with you but somehow this fantastic technology escapes us at times.
With loads of love and prayers coming your way,
Sharon and Martha
Patti , thank you for doing this blog so we all can keep up with the daily ins and outs of Grandma.

So relieved to hear the good news of the hospice nurse. Those nurses become like family during the process and Hospice is such a amazing organization.
