Day 13, Our church loves us

I have to give thanks to God for the loving help that West Huntsville has given us.  The visits, the CARDS, the DVDDVDDVDDVDDVD's, the crispy one dollars bills for tokens, the stamps, the emails, but most of all the prayer covering.  As John Cranston said, heaven was barraged with Steve Call's name.  I give credit to an ALL IN God, those prayers, and the undeniable determination of Steve for Steve's miraculous recovery.  While some who have this disease get so paralyzed that they cannot move anything but their eyes, Steve was allowed to not even need a respirator.  Thank you, Jehovah Rapha, the One Who Heals.
I was texting my sister Jane and Terri when Steve was in the ER, and Jane sent back a short description of Guillain-Barre' Syndrome.  When I looked at the name "Guillain" my Decatur-brain saw "Gilligan". Then later, Joel and I started talking about "moving to another island" and that's when I came up with the name of the blog.  Of course, some of you are not old enough to know about Gilligan's Island.  Let's just say that none of the 'castaways' ever had a bad hair day.
Thanks also to Kaye McFarlen and Ken Helphand who have stayed with Steve for me to get some time home.  Ranger needs a little attention, too.  Thanks to Patricia Jeffreys, Dawne Douthit, Cindy Kosanda, Steve Junkins and the Wyle CAS group (best ever!), Sandy Brown et al, Kim Schneider, Frances Zimmerman, and a small multitude of others to have fed me, let Ranger out, brought bottled water, visited with me and Steve, exchanged emails with me... May God Almighty richly bless you all.  As God has comforted me, may He comfort you with HIS comfort, may He bless you out of HIS riches.

John Cranston brought a group of men from the church to help with the Christmas light removal.  Lee "Lightfoot" Edwards climbed on the roof.
