Day 672 – Grayson’s Journey

Dear family and friends,

On Friday I wrote about things being beyond our control. Today was another perfect example.

While we were getting ready for church this morning, Brant started having chest pains. While not quite as intense as three months ago it was significant enough for another ambulance ride. Thankfully no evidence of heart attack but no clear explanation either. Tomorrow will bring an angiogram and hopefully some answers.

There were several things that amazed both of us. The attending physician today was the same one that was on duty on June 3rd when Brant had his initial symptoms and had his stent put in. The cardiologist on duty today was the same one that cared for Brant in June and so ably handled his testing and procedures. He was also the cardiologist that handled Grayson's cardiac care when he had his cardiac arrest two years ago. The ER nurse assigned to Brant today was the same one that cared for Brant in June and Grayson two years ago. She is one of the sweetest, most caring individuals you could ever hope to meet. Of all the many nurses and doctors who work in this hospital, what are the chances of having the same ones?

While it certainly is not our goal to have the local emergency room medical personnel recognize us and greet us by first names, it is comforting to have such wonderful people in our community whose goal it is to care for us and ease our way.

As Christians, isn't this what we should all be doing?

In peace and with hope,

Regina
