Pat, I read in your email how frustrated you are with the hospital, and i totally understand. Praying that you find out soon what's going on and that it's easily treated. I also pray that, if it's God's will, he will allow you to make the trip to Oregon when planned. As the song says, "God will make a way where there seems to be no way."
