Letter No. 8 9 April, 2006
Dear
Family and Friends,
Thank you for your prayers for our homeward journey. It went well with wheelchairs at every airport. At Nairobi Pat had to walk up a flight of stairs to the transit area, but was in such pain at the top, that he was ushered into the nearest lounge - the First class one. There we waited for 7.5 hours with the luxury of armchairs! It was very, very comfortable!
On arriving home, we discovered that a
friend had phoned Exeter Orthopaedic Hospital, where Pat had a routine
check-up booked for May 8th. on the off chance that an appointment
could be made sooner to see the Consultant.
There had just been a cancellation for
10.30 on Monday, 10th. So we're off at dawn tomorrow for the
next stage of the journey. What a wonderful answer to prayer!
Pat
and Pam
Update 10 April 2006 from Jeremy Brooks
Pat & Pam saw the doctor in Exeter
where X rays were carried out on my father's hip. It appears
that it is not damaged. He is being kept in hospital in Exeter
for blood tests and a scan, the results of which should be known in
the next few days.
