"May His Blessings light your way and bring joy to your hearts this Christmas"

It
was a year of medical matters – major malaise, mishap, Medicare mystery and DM-
Diabetes mellitus. Yet, even with
physical and spiritual attacks, we relied on faith, family and friends to
emerge Brave, Bravely, Bold and Fearless this year. Read
on:
Ellen
(BRAVE) – The i-fly
flight didn’t cause shortness of breath
but convinced Ellen she would ignore Dad’s advice and become parachute “worthy”.
Luckily she will stay in the plane when she drops into see D’Lane and
Ann in Scottsdale. Crossfit groupies
felt a partial identity loss when
Ellen accepted an internship at the Sports Mall. Just three semesters from
early graduation at U.C. the key question is will her Finance degree stabilize
or will she Master something else?
Jenna
and Paul Robinson (BRAVELY)
– “I see you” is not a juvenile game when blood sugars are
high. Jenna is now attached to the medical
device industry in addition to her excellent patient care at Christ
Hospital. Paul steadies the Robinson/Wisner
roots by intertwining Emmaus Walk #103 with a USI promotion. BRAVELY
this pair takes on the challenge of T1D management even with auction accidents,
Dexcom outages, and healthcare enrollment math.
Susan
– (BOLD) – Nothing this year
was easy – not even Emmaus Walk #123. Drains,
phones and falls, oh brother it was a
challenge! She reluctantly accepts no
more Lipp and remained silent at the Abbey using her spiritual backup to fight Screwtape’s attacks.
Even the Tahoe’s have blind spots.
Her BOLD motherly
protection instincts have combated the obstacles that medicine can’t
solve.
Garen
– (FEARLESS) – A man without fear, Garen needed to
re-subscribe in several areas. He hit
the oil jackpot only to tie for second place (in a field of three)
for the Jefferson Award. Testing his own
blood for three months made him wonder How God
Makes Men. Sixty-five years
forced him back into medical money mania – code named IRMAA. Needing time to research Medicare, he dropped
Miami Mock Recruiting to sign up for the ILR (Miami Institute of Learning in
Retirement). Garen chose Lord Byron’s Drug Plan Z – “Always laugh when you can
– its cheap medicine.”
The
family zipped down to Austin for
Dayna and Sam’s wedding and travel this year was exclusively concentrated on
family affairs (Naples, Akron, Derby, Scottsdale, Chautauqua). May
we know that “family first” is an important prescription..
The Grinch of 2019 has not dried up our
spirit. We are so grateful for our family and friends
support.
Love is the antidote to suffering. We
pray that the medicine of Christ will heal your spirit and put joy in your
heart also.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
“A
joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones”. Proverbs 17:22
