no so easy

actually it was not so easy to diagnose this sister's problems as we first thought.  She finally had to go home, not because she want to or because we wanted her to but she was just getting worse all the time.  One test determined that her heart was racing up to as much as 160 beats per minute and then she would have a gap of 5 seconds or so when her heart stopped pumping and then it would start again slowly (30 beats per minute) until she got back up to normal again.  She fainted all the time, just dropping to the floor when least expected.

bless her heart Hermana Hawkins even wore her missionary badge in the hospital.  Hermana Johnson was with her this time.  We had to switch out companions every 12 hours.  

Hermana Larson is a sweetheart also.  Hermana Hawkins had already gone through all her companions and was working on sisters from another house.  

It was decided that Hemana Hawkins would be going home from the hospital.  Her companions would be packing her bags and then we would take them to the hospital pick her up and take her to the airport.  They were so sweet to put a batch of wash in for her as it was now Friday and she had not been home from the hospital since Monday night when Dennis and I took her to the ER late at night.  They had decorated her closet door with encouraging thoughts and scriptures and wrote on the big white board, "We love you Hermana Hawkings" .  She wouldn't see it so I took a picture and sent it to her email.
