When the Homily is about Immunology

In an Instant...

...we can be shocked back into reality. Sometimes I think we wander through our existence in a complete state of blindness and deafness to the things that really matter. We set ourselves up for regrets.

Yesterday we received news that my wife's cousin-in-law (her only relatives to live near us) Hilary had collapsed with complete heart failure. After an hour of CPR the EMT's reestablished a pulse and she was airlifted over the Sound to Harborview where things looked bleak.

However, as of this morning we have reason to hope as she seems to be improving - miraculously. While she is by no means out of the woods yet, she has already begun beating the odds. Please keep Hilary, her husband Richard, and their 12 year old son Mark in your prayers.

Thanks...let us all live today as if it were our last. It very well could be.
