Journal entry by Bill Newsome

Michael has been moved to the Hospital for Special Care in New Britain which addresses ALL of his medical needs.  This move happened as Sheila was visiting Michael before she headed to the airport for her flight back to NC.  This is outstanding news as he will be able to have his physical therapy, treatment for his heart, oxygen given when he needs it and most importantly his dialysis treatments without having to leave the facility.  He will be here on a long term basis so there is no end date until his health reaches a point where he will be able to prayerfully manage on his own.  Sheila is on her way back home and will no doubt be exhausted physically and mentally from the strain of having to deal with all of this and making sure he was taken care of.  God is Good!
