Coincidence? We Think Not

We were sitting around this evening thinking of the circumstances which brought us here to D.C. and we couldn't help but marvel.  In the midst of an acute situation, Jennifer became aware (through a great deal of research and networking on her part) of Dr. Sugarbaker's work out here; a phone call to his office a week and a half ago, as well as speaking to other patients of his this week, revealed that wait times to see him, much less have him operate, run months in advance.  As it so happened however, he had a patient drop out and he wound up with a spot on his schedule for last Tuesday.  O.K., fine, now we need to get out here, it's the middle of the Holiday travel season and we have no plane tickets.  Not to worry, Juliette had flight miles to use on United; no matter that she's had no success in the past at being able to use them during busy travel times.  In fact that was why she had so many miles built up, she could never use them.  A couple of phone calls was all it took for Juliette to secure the last seat available on her flight from Northern California, and to get Jennifer one of the last seats on her flight from LAX.  Oh, and a non-stop without any connections to make while feeling crummy would be nice too.  No problem!  Truly, the Lord's providence has been great, and He has heard our prayers.

Jen is getting stronger by the minute, it seems.  She's taking longer walks and at quicker paces, so she's really coming along nicely.  Have a great evening everybody.
