DIFFICULT DAYS
I wish things could be easier for Margie. The sling for her shoulder surgery gives her "fits". We will be glad when this phase of the program is history. She finally got to sleep last night after medication and a readjustment I made on sling, to eliminate pressure on her neck. Our grandson Nathan blessed us this morning by bringing me a latte. How nice of him. I am not certain of the timing, but for those who read this AND our web site, there will be a period of blackout while we are transitioning to another system.
We have a full week of appointments - with the therapists and her surgeons assistant on the 14th. Thanks for praying. Pray Margie willl be able to do her maneuvers sufficiently to gain strength in her arm. Thanks for praying
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.
