Entire team survives three rolls in bad wreck traveling through Antimonan, Quezon province. We were returning home early Sunday morning after the seminar that weekend. Left: Tony recouping at home. We were all bruised and sore, but not a bone broken. Alive to fight another day! Right: Pastor Mark and Pastor Joel helping Calli collect our belongings out of the vehicle later that morning. Except God allow! After the graduation of our class that evening, we packed up and started our trip home that night. Traveling at night proved to be difficult with hundreds of big trucks on the two-lane road as we made our way to Manila. It had been years since we traveled at night and didn’t realize that trucks are primarily traveling in the evening. I had been driving myself for about 4 ½ hours, and decided I needed a rest. It was about that time that mysterious moisture began fogging the windows both inside and out. We stopped the...

Home from the hospital, In care of the family (including Tigger) Update on Pastor Tony’s Condition Pastor Tony was in the hospital for four and a half days. They got him stabilized the first day and night and then put him in surgery the next morning. They were not able to complete the angioplasty at that time because they didn't have the right stents to do the work. So they stopped in the middle of it and pulled out. But they were able to see right where his blockages were. The next morning, Thursday, they had received the right materials and went back in to do the angioplasty. They repaired one vein that was 100% blocked and three veins got new stents. His cardiologists are the best in Asia and were the same Doctors he had 15 years ago. They are so special to him and I believe he to them. The first time they worked on him in 2006 they waved...

Pastor Tony Hospitalized in Manila with Heart Attack Early Tuesday morning, Tony woke me up experiencing signs of a heart attack. We took his blood pressure which was 221/120 with a pulse of 114 (he usually runs 55 or 60). Gave him some aspirin and took it again at 202/128 and a 109 pulse. We rushed him to the hospital. After several hours and many tests, it was found he had several blockages that required immediate attention. He went in for an angioplasty this morning. However, after finding the four places they wanted to place the stints, it was determined the stints they wanted to use were not in supply at this hospital. The doctor closed it down and decided to wait for the better supplies. They are rescheduling the operation for tomorrow. Thankfully, the tests also revealed that he had avoided any major damage to his heart. Praise the Lord! We can also see the divine timing in this all,...
