Thank you, NYer.

While Martha and Margaret were growing up in the convent the Mass and sacraments were still the “old way” — just the tail end of it, I guess.

Many of the nuns from the convent are passed on now but a few that they knew are still living.

Thank you most sincerely to those who have added prayers overnight for my wife’s sister. My wife Martha is still sound asleep here on the west coast after the stress and I haven’t heard the phone ring so thankfully no new surprises in Bombay.

Thank you and most certainly will send the prayers. We think Margaret has staples as well, but much less expensive staples probably.

Another tenant in the building loaned them $60 to pay the hospital bill. We will send them that and more of course.

Pretty inexpensive ER, eh? I can picture that running $25,000 here but they’d have to throw in a CT scan or two.

They warned her she’d be in a lot of pain later when the local anesthetic wears off.

They will need another place to live which we will try to help them with. Hopefully they can find a quiet place right away where Margaret can rest. Monsoon season there and can be hard to travel but not raining at the moment.

Thank you! read #84

Thank You! Miracles Do Happen!

This is unbelievably good news and I am not using “miracle” lightly.

They stitched up Margaret and she is talking now with eyes wide open.

I was trained in neuropsychology in graduate school and from what we were hearing thought 95% sure we had a skull fracture, concussion and possible subdural hematoma.

I am a little concerned that they did not seem to do a proper neurological exam and definitely did not do an x-ray or scan of any kind.

So maybe keep up the prayers a little longer as these things can go downhill after an initial improvement.

But we definitely want to be optimistic as I thought we might never again hear her speak.

My wife, Martha, is of course, jubilant at this point.

Martha and Margaret grew up together in a convent in Bombay, closer to downtown.

Anyone need proof prayers work?

Be sure and ping me if you or your family need prayers in the future.

Thank you again and God Bless!
