Stubborn Tooth

 Rie underwent oral surgery this morning to extract a fractured upper molar. Of course couldn’t be a routine extraction! Out in 10 pieces with a little struggle and small puncture into the nasal sinus, a common complication of upper back tooth extractions. We have to be very cautious for two weeks to allow healing of the puncture site. We’re  living the day by the words my good friend texted me this morning: “I pray the Lord allows you to live minute by minute with no thought for the next minute, or what the day holds. That is the only minute you have. Imagine no doubts, fears, or problems to arise in your mind. What God puts in your life is always a blessing if received with Thanksgiving.”

I receive with thanksgiving that the procedure was completed without major complications.🙏

Hi.  This is Sasan.  On Friday, July 30th, 2021, my wife Rie woke up from a  dream that she shared with my 13-year-old daughter, Mia.  This was an unusual dream.  Rie had never had a dream like that before.  Rie told my daughter that in the dream she "felt surrounded by God's presence", telling her: "EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT".  Rie and Mia wondered about the meaning of such a strange dream.  We praised God for the message. A few hours later while Rie, Mia, my brother and I were eating lunch at a restaurant, Rie had a 30-second seizure.  The restaurant "happened" to be next to St David's Medical Center Emergency Room.  Within one hour, she had a life-saving craniotomy to evacuate a massive intracranial hemorrhage.  Going from the ER to the CT scanner, then to the OR within an hour is unheard of.  To have the best and the kindest neurosurgeon on call and immediately available was clearly a mira...

 Today is Mia's 16th birthday.  The three of us went shopping for clothes for her yesterday.  It was the first time in over two years that Rie shopped without a wheelchair, using just a standard quad walker.   It almost felt like a normal pre-stroke shopping day, including the backache I used to get whenever we went shopping for clothes! Praise God. ❤️🙏
