James 5-6   "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind."

With gifts disguised as trials, struggles, and difficulties there also comes a confusion as to what to do with them.  There next steps, do's or don't that present itself.  I have seen God in the past couple of weeks answer my cry for wisdom in situations with Peter and I am grateful.  

Sometimes you need to seek others to help you when you get tired.  So although I am trying to avoid this being a "prayer letter" place I do want to share a couple of immediate things going on because I know many of you do pray as a result of what you read here.

Peter has a phone appointment with Dr B today.  Though I watched God mightily intervene and provide through her a month ago I am concerned about our wisely communicating with her today as well as her wise response.  She doesn't know about the medications he is now on or the most recent hospitalization.  I want Peter and I to communicate well so she gets an accurate picture and that she will wisely respond with medication adjustments if needed, advice, strategies etc.  

Yesterday my mom was sent to the Emergency Room (did you know they don't call it that anymore?  It is ED  or something like that but can't remember the initials or what it stands for.)  Anyway her Heart Doctor sent her because she was not feeling well, her pulse was racing and BP low.  I took her but of course because of Corona virus basically had to drop kick her out of the car and run.  Horrible feeling.  They struggled to get her A-fib under control with medication yesterday.  They admitted her last night and though she said her pulse was normal about 9 PM last night, it did not stabilize and she is still in AFib.  The plan yesterday if things didn't change was a scope today.  

It is hard not being about to be there to make sure she is cared for or to talk with doctors.  And reaching people on the phone is a challenge to say the least.  So I ask for wisdom.  Wisdom for the doctors.  Wisdom for me to know when to call and how much to push and pull.  And of course we pray for peace for Mom.
