My Brother has not been tested again so we are not sure if he is virus free as of today. Four weeks in, his mind is there one day & gone the next. His left side has not come back at all yet & they have moved him to another rehab place where we still cannot visit him...… Thanks for all your prayers.
We have not had a service yet for Barbara's stepfather that passed from Covid a few weeks back. Still cannot visit his wife as she lives alone in assisted living.
Barbara has not found out on her job as the company is not updating anyone as of today. Five weeks now!
Then things went from bad to worse in 15 seconds. Last weekend we were eating homemade pizza & Barbara went to make some fried dough for my son on a pan on our stove. Well she turned her back for a few seconds & the next thing the kids & I saw was her running into our sunroom heading for the door with the pan on fire...…. She slipped & hot oil went on her, the couch, a basket & the pan rolled on the floor spreading the fire. It was a series of fires all over the room.
Well I may not be a good cook, but I believe in safety. I must have 21 fire alarms (both kinds), two heat alarms, 9 C02 alarms & two escape ladders in our house which by the way is not a big house. So, Barbara then ran out of the room as did both the kids. I have a large fire extinguisher in that room within feet of one of the fires. I got that out & put out each of the fires in under 30 seconds. I also have two in the kitchen one in the basement, one in the upstairs, one in the room over the garage one in the living room. The one in the sunroom (4 seasons) is the biggest thank God as it doubles for the outside grills. I have instructed the kids only put out a fire if you have an escape behind you. I had instructed them on what to do in a kitchen fire, but my wife thought she could make it outside.... a big mistake.
Anyway, Barbara has second degree burns on one of her arms & on one of her legs. She did not want to go to the hospital as the virus is all over there, so she is now stuck in bed with the doctors treating her over the phone. It has been some 10 days for all of us. It is slow healing as anyone who has had burns will tell you. Anyway, more prayers would be appreciated as she is in pain & we pray the scars will go away. We feel we were blessed that the burns were only second degree & we did not lose the house & for some reason the dog was not where he normally is when food is around. If he lit on fire & ran through the house we would have been in real trouble.
Stay safe everyone.
