Although Pete has assured me that he does not want to make med-evacs a routine for us, I know that it may happen again. If it does, my apprehension of the unknown has been greatly changed by our ambulance and clinic personnel: Al Badgley, Jerry Blood, Thom Andriesen and Lyle Huff. Without a doubt, when you came to the door I was already breathing easy. When we got to the clinic, Pornson Linton, Adam DuPaul, Becky Malone and Rob Miller. Watching all of you doing what you do was amazing. I felt that we were in the best of hands at that time. Our clinic personnel are extraordinary. Although it was an unknown problem with Pete – since he is on chemo as well as other medications – your professionalism made me feel very calm. Our family Roc and Diann Ahrens and Doris Bell and Monica Stout, there are no words to say how much your quiet support was felt. Thank you. As for the Guardian flight, I say if you don’t belong to Guardian, do so! This was our second med-evac. This organization is a godsend. Thank you, Bartlett Hospital. This is one of the best facilities that Pete and I have been to and we have been to a few this year. Pete is home and doing very well. It turned out to be a delayed reaction to a chemo drug that the oncologist was going to change out in August. I believe they will be changing it out sooner. Thank you, Haines, for all the phone calls and love.
Pete and Diana Lapham
