(later: please notice that the material below has changed: Now she is coming HOME in about an hour to our house. We will need God's help as we adjust to her care. But we are so happy for joy of doing it.)
The Lord showers us with blessing sometimes too good to comprehend. Yesterday Margie was SO MUCH better than previous ones. The previous medication obviously caused the strange behavior. Now with the newer one the picture is much brighter. We were still concerned however, with certain behaviors. Today as I was writing our web page remarks and this blog, the doctor called saying that Margie qualified for REHAB at the South Campus of Peace Health St. Joseph's hospital. Before this, Margie had called me and her voice was cheery and apparently back to her normal self. She was a little confused on the day of the week, but after a hospital stay this can be normal. So we are thrilled she will be able to fine tune and learn new motor skills at REHAB which will help her live a more normal life here at home. I am sure we have much ground to cover yet before she is back to the place where we started last Tuesday, but are encouraged with what the Lord has done thus far. He gets all the credit for it all. We cannot begin to thank you enough for your prayer support for Margie. It means so much to us. I am unable to be with Margie today and most of tomorrow because I am in the countdown diet for a colonoscopy and endoscopy tomorrow.
About the Poulsons
- Ralph and Margie
- The Poulsons served with ABWE in Brazil for 25 years. Their son Rawlie was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil and their daughter Joy in Iquitos, Peru. Joy was born developmentally disabled and eventually they returned to the States to find help for her. God providentially led them to Shepherds Baptist Ministries, Inc. where she has been a resident for 43 years. The Poulsons returned to Northeast Brazil to the town of Natal and Ralph was Director of the Berean Seminary for a few years. Because of health concerns, they returned to their home town of Ferndale, WA in December of 1980 and later their home church, First Baptist, called Ralph to pastor the church. After 18 years at First Baptist, at age 68, Ralph resigned and he and Margie prayed for the Lord to lead them to their next ministry. Shepherds Baptist Ministries, Inc., asked them to consider being a western representative in 8 states. For 10 years we represented Shepherds in the 8 western states, including Alaska. What a privilege it has been and we continue now at home doing various projects for Shepherds so that I can care for Margie as she recovers.
