Oma's Pages #4, August 7, 2011

Oma’s Pages #4
The next problem we had was that Opa started to have some serious health problems. First he fell off of a scaffold where he was working on the ceiling in a High School Gymnasium. He broke his ankle and had to have surgery to put it back together and he cracked his arm and two of his ribs. He was in a wheelchair for awhile.
After that he fell off of ladder and ruined his knee and had to have surgery and then therapy to be able to walk again.
Then he had a heart attack and died for a short while. The doctors were able to revive him again but he had some problems we had to get over and he had to have heart surgery.
Now we thought everything would be good again and then he had blood clots come into his lungs. It happened twice. Once it was on  Christmas Eve so he spent Christmas in the hospital. 
Again I thought, now for sure we will not be able to go on a mission because of all of the bad things Opa has had, and all of the medications he has to take to stay well.
Opa just kept praying about the day when we would be able to go on a mission.
Do you think we were ever able to go on a mission?
