More Answered Prayers

Nonnie woke up this morning with a bed full of hair, and she knew it was time to call Robert for a haircut. Robert shaves his head bald with a razor, so she felt comfortable that he was fully certified to use the clippers. He was so gentle and kind with her, that she actually felt O.K. with the idea of not having hair. Several nurses stopped by to see Nonnie, and they all told her how cute she was! It was at that moment when reality set in and she began to cry. As you could imagine, her head was rather cold without hair. The good news is.... she loves her cozy new brown hat that Lisa found for her. 

Over the last several days, Nonnie has developed sores in the small of her back. The nurses have been giving her a medicated ointment to help soothe the area. The doctors have been keeping a close eye on her because of the risk of infection. This afternoon, she had a frightening experience. The doctors and nurses came into her room wearing gowns, masks and gloves. Imagine being told that "you" are in isolation and that the precautions they were wearing were because of your condition! Nonnie was all alone and feeling so scared while lying in her bed. She immediately turned to God like she has so many times in her life, especially during this difficult time.

Any guesses? Within 15 minutes, the door opened with her nurse standing in door. She came in to tell Nonnie that the "isolation" was over. That just might be the fastest answered prayer that I have ever heard! We do not know what the doctors were acting so cautiously about, but the assuredness of knowing she did not have anything contagious was a good enough answer for now. Hopefully we will learn more tomorrow about that.
