Touch A Life Ministries

Over on her blog, Pam Cope is sending updates on her trip back to Ghana. She is the one that helped rescue the 7 child slaves and had them brought to the Village of Hope. I can't help but feel inspired by her and the courage she has to actually do things instead of just talking about them.

Uh, well, scratch that.

Nope. They're not out. The IV had been in my hand for almost an hour when they came in and told me "your potassium is too low and we don't want you to have a heart attack and die" So they canceled the tonsillectomy. Wow. That was totally unexpected.

How do I feel about it? Although it is disappointing and changes my plans, I see it as a blessing. I am now aware of it and have 6 weeks to fix it before I go to Ghana. The doctor put me on potassium supplements and will be monitoring my progress. He assured me my levels should be up and fine by May 1st. (my labs showed no problems with my kidneys) I will reschedule the tonsillectomy later this year, if my work schedule permits.

So the rest of my Spring Break I am to "take it easy".
