In The A Blink Of An Eye

lives can change in the Blink Of An Eye. Last Tuesday when I got home there was a message on my machine. The message was from my closest and dearest friend Donna. We have know each other since grade two, our friendship over the years has seen us through boyfriends, break-ups and sharing a condo together. When I married she was my matron of honour. Donna travelled out west each time I had a baby. This January for my 40th birthday she surprised me by travelling out here to spend some time together. And so the pain I felt when I heard that message and listen to her tell me her husband was in a coma was beyond words. Donna is a very strong person both in her personality and in her faith. Seeing her beside her husband day after day praying he would wake up was a true testament to the person she truly is.

David joined me on Friday last week, he's been Stephen's friend since public school and there friendship is a mirror to Donna and mine.

When we left on Monday Stephen was still in a semi-comatose state, he was still moving around in his bed but still was not waking up. As of today his ECG, and CAT scans seem O.K. He had an MRI on Tuesday which brought some troubling news. We now wait.. wait.. and wait more for Stephen to wake up... As the days go by I think we are all feeling that this might turn into weeks or months and when he does wake up what kind of challenges will he face. In a blink of an eye that family has changed forever.

When David came down he brought Larkyn with him so we took this opportunity to visit one of Larkyn Orphanage sisters. It was great to see Claudia and Simon and there sweet Madelyne.
