Garry, I don't think I'm unusual, especially in a group of people like those on TBN, but you know I haven't found many things that are just more fun for me than helping someone else. I really think maybe I'm selfish; do it more for ME, and the satisfaction I get from it, than for them.
Incidentally, the young couple next door to us would certainly appreciate everyone's prayers. They had a baby (boy) on 2/24/02, came home one day, back to the hospital with unidentified problems, home I think two or three days, then back to the local hospital on 3/6/02, and after much probing and testing, transferred via ambulance to Dallas to the Children's Medical Center for more tests, and since they were out of Intensive Care beds, air lifted to Temple, and after many more tests, transferred to Austin for heart surgery. It seems that the baby was born (full term) with a hole between the chambers of the heart and a faulty valve. So it's had two heart surgeries, the parents have been staying at its side, or in the Ronald McDonald house for nearly a month now (since 3/6/02), and we still have no idea whether it's going to survive; still in Intensive Care with IVs, tubes, etc. I don't think I can imagine a more stressful, heartbreaking situation for a young couple.
In the meantime, not much I can do, but at least I'm taking care of their little Welsh Corgi and got their yard cleaned up and mowed.
