hello from windy Oklahoma

Greetings dear friends from Oklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plain!  

 

And boy is it windy these days!  I have been in different parts of Oklahoma for a week now and have enjoyed the warm glow of friendships that started back in college.  I have enjoyed meeting husbands and babies (and one boyfriend) for the first time.  :-)  It was also nice to drive through and see OBU and Shawnee again, though I was sad that the house I lived in my junior year has been moved and the church parking lot expanded.... further proof that life moves on I guess!  On the other hand, the old deli that was across from the campus has a new face... Hammy Hortons.... and wow!  It was amazing!  I liked it so much that we ate there two days in a row!

my step-mom

Dad has been really good about keeping me informed about what's going on with Robin, which I really appreciate.  They have decided that she is not bleeding now and that they don't really know where the blood that they saw on the CT scan came from though they speculate that it is old blood from the surgery.  They have a hematologist on the team now trying to figure out why she isn't able to keep her blood count up on her own.  I hope they will soon find the reason!  Robin is having more good days than bad at this point.  They were even able to take her off the ventilator!  Wahoo!  Please continue to pray for her and my dad.  

continued travel

Since Robin is doing so well I have decided not to head back to Albuquerque right now.  If things take a turn for the serious again I might rethink that decision, but for now I am going to continue to head back to Atlanta.  Currently I am in Owasso which is just north of Tulsa.  From here I will head to Birmingham for a few nights then head to Atlanta.  I will be back in Atlanta before the end of the week.  Though it has been great to travel it will also be nice to be able to settle into Teresa's apartment.

job hunt

I still don't have any leads for any jobs, though I haven't been able to spend as much time as I probably should on it.  I am wondering if God has a different direction for me than I have thought.  Maybe I am not supposed to be in the hospital setting....  My sister keeps pointing me in the direction of home health care but I am not sure about that either.  Please pray that I will be open to what God has for me.

much love to all,

kapande

p.s. We are having trouble transferring the money from the sale of my car from Africa to America.  Please pray with me that it will get sorted sooner rather than later so that I actually have some money to live off of!  Thanks!
