Pastor Mohr prayer update Oct 5

 

Pastor Mohr is home!

The text below is from an email sent today by Pastor Mohr's son, Greg. He asked that this be shared with friends at Calvary. - Pastor Matt I just wanted to give you all an update now that my parents, sister, and I have returned home from Rome. And I'm copying my dad since he's no longer so focused on getting out of the hospital that he doesn't want to read his email.  He was checked out at Kaiser San Leandro ER today. After about 5 hours of tests and evaluations (ans mostly waiting), he has some medications to take regularly and a follow-up phone call appointment, but the physical therapist (PT) said there's no need for equipment like a walker or for any continuing therapy. He's already able to do all of the things the PT would have him work on. He just needs to take things slow for a while. He can now lift his toes a little, but cannot move his toes individually. The PT said that ability is usually the last to return, so that should come back over time. So my dad is doing remarkably well given the circumstances and is recovering nicely, if not necessarily as quickly as he'd like. Thank you all for your prayers and for the many offers of assistance, and for passing information around to others who know my dad but with whom we could not keep in direct contact. I'll let my dad share any further updates and additional information about his recovery in the future. In Christ, - Greg

Pastor Mohr prayer update Sep 30

 

An update from Pastor Mohr's son, Greg.

The text below is from an email sent by Pastor Mohr's son, Greg. Greg and his sister are currently in Italy with Pastor Gary and Gloria. He asked that this be shared with friends at Calvary. - Pastor Matt Well, everyone, there has been a change in plans. Unfortunately, Dad did NOT join us in the hotel tonight. The doctors here had a discussion with either doctors at our travel insurance company or one of their partner agencies here in Eurpoe, and it sounded to the doctors in Rome like the other doctors thought Dad should have a sonogram of both legs before flying home. By the time that conversation happened, the earliest that test could be scheduled was for tomorrow (Tuesday) morning, which means Dad has to spend one more night in the hospital. Unfortunately, after our conversation with OnCall this afternoon, we're a bit confused as to exactly who wants the sonogram, but by then it was too late to change things, so Dad gets one more morning of tasteless porridge. The good news is that we do have a wheelchair reserved for him to use until Saturday at the hotel, and Mom has moved into an accessible room so that once Dad is discharged, they have a room where he can get into the bathroom without needing to step up to anything. Today Dad was able to stand up mostly on his own. He walked from the middle of the bed to the end and around it to the other side. He is definitely making positive progress. And he said he slept a little better last night than he has been, so that was welcome news. Please continue to pray for his sleep so his body can concentrate on repairing itself. As of now, it looks like we're going to be traveling home on Saturday, but we're praying for sooner. Two quick things. 1. Dad's roommate, Daniele, and his sister, Simona, have been very friendly with us all and have made this less than ideal situation much more pleasant. Daniele is showing improvement as well (he can now move the pinky on the affected hand). And last night we learned that Simona has knee replacement surgery scheduled for Wednesday, the day her brother is supposed to get out of the Stroke Unit. So please add to your prayers our new friends, Daniele, that his healing would continue, and that Simona's surgery would be successful and she has a speedy recovery. 2. This whole time we have been in Rome, we have not had one pasta meal...until tonight. But it wasn't what you would think. We found a nice Chinese restaurant across the street from the hospital, and the chow mein used some sort of pasta noodles (a little thicker than spaghetti). So in Rome we had to get Chinese food to have pasta. Go figure! Buona notte da Roma! - Greg
