Fever, joint pains, cough, headache, dizziness, no appetite....but the
hardest was his inability to communicate at times.
That was scary.
After a 4 hour visit to Kaiser, an IV, and antibiotics....he was
doing better last night.
He still has no memory of the blood work and X-rays. But
surprisingly, he can tell me the ages of the doctor's children: 11, 14,
and 16. He had asked her, and that part of his visit he remembers!
Later last evening before we were getting ready to go to bed,
we heard the door bell ring and there stood our sweet sister
missionaries who came by "just to check on the Shelleys."
We had a nice little chat and then Sister Dixon said she had a
scripture to share with us:
"Lift up your hearts and be glad, for I am in your midst, and
I am your advocate with your Father; and it is his good will
to give you the kingdom." Doctrine and Covenants 29:5
I love it so much that I asked her to read it twice more.
It's beautiful,
and I've been looking for a way to have it framed
and put on our wall.
I keep picturing the smile on that sister missionary's face after she
read it to us those 3 times. She loves it too!
And their visit came at just the right time.

I'm glad to hear that Dennis is feeling better! I'm sure the visit from the sister missionaries cheered you both up. That is a wonderful scripture they shared with you
I hope Dennis is better now! Did they say what the problem was? Any diagnosis? Please send him my love and best wishes for a speedy recovery!!!
