Hello,
Please pray that the sale of our house will be successful. We sold 4 weeks ago before the crisis hit and our closing date is May 29th. We stand to lose our $20k deposit on our new home if the sale of our present home falls through. I pray for Godβs will in the matter, but my heart is hoping that we can move out of the city to a larger rural home that will be a better fit our family of 9.
Also, please pray for my health. I have been struggling with my blood pressure. It has been a challenge to get my meds just right. I canβt figure out why my blood pressure is a problem because I have been eating low carb since September last year, my diabetes is in remission, and I have lost 35lbs. Maybe I am stressed? I have been doing night duty with my granddaughter since she was born last November. She has feeding issues so I have to be up every 2-3hrs to feed her. Maybe you could throw in a prayer for her feeding to improve. π thank you!

2. Prayer for the soul of my Aunt Leilia who died April 13th with COVID19 and pneumonia. And for her remaining 9 children and their families. 3 children died before her.
She was so blessed to die during the Easter season, during the divine Mercy Novena. It was sad to only get to see her funeral mass on Facebook. But grateful she had a mass and proper burial!!

This includes broken ribs from a previous fall, organs shutting down, autonomic nervous system and memory issues. My older sister, an R.N., by the grace of God is working with his medical team. There are only the three of us siblings, and he is the baby. It has been a grace to speak at length with his wife, Debby, who was like a second mother to my children and their guardian when I worked in their early childhood.

I wish to ask you for a few prayers.
First, my job in Montana as a nurse practitioner has been amazing. After 5 months in practice and being essentially alone β save a physician in North Dakota whom I can text for medical guidance β Iβve finally βhit my strideβ as a provider. My speed, confidence, efficiency, and knowledge are growing with each patient. I love this work immensely, and when itβs busy the days fly by. The feedback from the community and the county commissioners for whom I work has been resoundingly positive, and people are returning to the clinic after being away for years.
Unfortunately, the 2 ladies I work with do not like me. Their behavior has been blatantly hostile toward me, and anywhere else would be grounds for disciplinary action. At a time when I needed support and assuming Iβd at least get professional courtesy, I barely got either. When I go to the nursing home, staff greet me by name. At the clinic, Iβll get a flat βgood morning.β or no response at all. And the newly-hired administrator who has no previous experience at such a job and who is disinclined to work, has not lifted a finger to address my ideas, needs, concerns, or complaints. So while I love Montana, I love this little town, I love and admire the hard-working people here, and I love my little apartment, I dreaded going to work because I didnβt know what negative surprise awaited me on any given day.
After approaching one of the commissioners over a month ago about the lack of support and the animosity at work, giving him multiple chances to help address my concerns, it was clear that he too did not want to help me, the sole provider in the county. Puzzling.
I submitted my resignation on Monday this past week, giving them 6 weeks notice.
On Tuesday and by sheer coincidence, the second βhighest-rankingβ provider there β a physical therapist whoβs worked here for 5 years β submitted her resignation! During my personal PT session with her, I asked her for a letter of recommendation when she dropped this bomb. I pulled down my face mask so she could see my jaw drop!! Wild.
On Wednesday, I told my staff I had resigned and their behavior improved on the spot: they were friendly, joking, happy, accommodating, and for the first time ever the 65 yo nurse addressed me by my first name. It rang in my ears like a sweet bell.
On Thursday, amidst a full schedule of patients, a woman came in with her husband complaining of a severe migraine. We had her on a hospital bed. Suddenly she had a brief seizure but recovered to perfect awareness immediately. That was unusual. 2 minutes later, her heart stopped and so did her breathing. Then she recovered spontaneously like nothing happened. Because it was an emergency and one canβt do CPR with a mask on, the last thing I thought about was grabbing a face mask; besides, weβve had no Covid cases in the county. She was the only patient I treated that week without wearing one.
She was sent by ambulance down to a Wyoming ED about an hour away. On route, she flatlined 5 times, and spontaneously recovered on her own each time. This is unheard of.
And on Friday, we learned that she tested positive for the SARS-Coronavirus, the first case in the county. I had been unmasked and was close enough to kiss her, so I and the 2 EMTs are now quarantined in our homes for 2 weeks.
So Iβd like to request prayers for Steph who is now in Denver for a pacemaker. Please pray for her husband who is suffering over what is happening and the possibility that his young wife still might die. Please pray for the 2 ladies in the clinic, one of whom is showing early signs of dementia. Please pray for the administrator who is away from his wife and child in order to work here. Pray for the commissioners who are trying to lead this community. Please pray for the good folk of the town of Broadus and surrounding ranches and farms, for they desperately need and deserve to have access to quality healthcare. And please pray for the staff at the nursing home who do their best to care for 20 elderly people from Broadus 24 hours a day.
Pray that Kesa, Shane and I didnβt acquire the virus and if we did that weβll brush it off like nothing.
I have some jobs lining up. I may stay in Montana, I may go south, I may move to rural South Dakota. Heck, thereβs the slim chance I might even stay here. But I trust God will help me find the next right step.
Thank you for your prayers! May God bless you and keep you!

Small towns can be great, but there’s often narrow attitudes and petty politics fermenting just beneath friendly smiles and waves. Sounds like you dodged a bullet. I’ve come across more than a few nasty receptionists and office managers at otherwise great parishes. Oh, how much damage they can often cause!
May the merciful God show them all the error of their ways. Hoping they change, but if not, I’m sure they’ll be cut out like a cancer.

Great idea, PD. Treat people right and the folks will show up. If you go for money from investors, though, you may have to pay too high a cost, not in money terms but in terms of whether the clinic is actually yours or not, actually embodies you and your principles or not. Be *very* careful to retain the ability to have your clinic reflect who you are, not who a handful of people with money think it should be. They may very well sacrifice you on the alter of their own needs. Maybe you could get a single grant to get you going and then never go back there again for more money. Maybe get ongoing budget needs by using a kind of subscription funding often used for community farm coops, or set it up as a Concierge service and charge enough to gradually expand your facility’s capabilities. Lots of options that don’t require selling your dream. Also watch out for local government – if they prefer the other clinic, they could stop you cold – but maybe the Storm would take them out of the picture. And of course, setting up a GoFundMe operation with a heart-warming human-oriented equivalent of Creatures Great and Small set of images on the screen could allow people from all over the planet, including folks here, to help you out. Get the government stuff scoped out and then, if that can be handled, go for local and global support. π

SteveBC and Patrick, I’ve heard on the radio here an ad for something that I would describe as a subscription doctor’s office. I haven’t paid too much attention to it, but it seems to be an alternative to current systems involving high insurance premiums. Of course, it would be important to have a good office/business manager if one decides to start such a thing. “There are different gifts . . . .”

Please pray for a resolution of a sudden onset of extreme nausea and feeling faint that started at mass on Friday. I spent the day in the emergency room where they ruled out heart problems. The symptoms may be anxiety related. My husband and I have a daughter who is an alcoholic and drug addict who has been back drinking for a year and neglects our granddaughter Melody. It is so hard seeing Melody not cared for and not having the physical stamina ourselves to take over her care. We can’t fix the situation and these anxiety symptoms further hinder our ability to help. Thanks for praying. I am a silent follower of this site. God bless all.
