David update:
David came home from the hospital today. Doctors can't believe how well he is healing.
His dementia and confusion are worse. Doctors think going home to his own surroundings is the best thing for now. We think they are right. He already seems better.

Please continue prayers, they are working. Ellena has a hard month ahead of her.

Up date on David:

Well, it didn't go as planned. The Dr. went in, and it looked worse than expected. He will need open-heart surgery. He has a room at Rolla Hospital until they have a bed at Barnes in St. Louis.
Prayers are still needed. Two nurses came in and told him he must have a lot of faith to have been through all he has been through and still be alive.

On Friday, David goes to the hospital for three more stents. This will make twenty-one. Widow maker is 90-99% blocked. I am asking everyone to please pray for him. The last one is when he ended up with two brain bleeds, a stroke, and seizures. We are all a little anxious about this time. I know it was just God and everyone's prayers that got him through the last ones. Thank you, and I will keep you posted.

David is slowly improving. This post is not about David. It is fo me to vent my anger. Those who know me , know it takes a lot to upset me.
On September 7, David at 9:00 pm was released after a day in ER. Shortly after leaving Salem, we had a flat tire on two day old tires. We were on Hwy 72, heading toward Salem. It is about 26 miles between the two towns. Most of you know the Hwy. There is nothing between the two towns and and very dark.
David said he would change the tire, a man that was very week and could barely walk. I said no way that is why I have AAA. So I would never be stranded on a Hwy.
I called AAA, explained where I was, they said they would send someone out. The first driver called from Salem. He said he was in bed and would have to dress, I was closer to Rolla. He would call and tell them to send someone from Rolla. AAA called back. I told them again where I was. Then the 2nd driver called. I told him where I was. Thirty minutes later AAA called and said he couldn't find me. I said can't he go a little farther, he has to see me on the side of Hwy. with my flasher on. She said he can't just keep driving and driving when you don't even know where you are. Well that didn't set well with me. She said can't you drive till you find a mail box? No, I'm on a flat tire. AAA we can't cross County lines. I did not cross County line yet. So she said we have canceled your order.

So after two hour's David and Ellena changed the tire. Next night he was back in hospital, seriously ill. He is not to have any stress or strain.

Don't ever depend on AAA.

DAVID UPDATE: It doesn't seem like he can ever get ahead. He just returned home after four days in the hospital. His blood infection was back. Two different bacteria were in his blood again. They still can't find where the infection is coming from. He is very weak and confused. Please continue to pray.
