Hospital waiting room again

Today I spent the morning at the new Harrison Hospital building in Silverdale, waiting through surgery with the daughter and son-in-law of an elderly parishioner who had a cornea transplant and a new lens for his eye.

I prayed with Howard and his children before the surgery. The surgeon explained everything carefully and asked if there were questions. I was impressed with his patience and concern for this elderly man (92 years old). The anesthesiologist was also excellent. After the surgery, the surgeon came out and told us that everything went very well, and we went into the post-op room and said a prayer of thanksgiving.

This was my first time in the Silverdale campus of Harrison Hospital. The building is nearly brand new, and is filled with light and carefully coordinated colors. A beautiful facility.
