On Friday when I left the hospital the outcomes for several patients and their treatment plans was not discernable.  I don’t like leaving on Friday not knowing if I will be able to see the patient again the following week.  That is the way life is, it does not conveniently fit into the five calendar grids of my normal work week.  Today one of my high priority items was to visit these patients to determine their present status and then to see what I could do to support them and their family members.  This week felt like Christmas because all of the people whose condition had been on my mind over the weekend were improved from how they were on Friday.  Each patient and their family members were happy and I also was happy.  We had prayers of thanksgiving and a lot of rejoicing as I went from room to room.  Some days there is not a lot of rejoicing when visiting patients so I am thankful for the rejoicing that took place today.
