Thank you for your prayers

[philothea]

I had wondered what was happening when you first posted. You poor dear!

Prayers for you, your husband, and your baby. Nice to have you back around.

I seem to recall a few months ago my pastor saying something about a change in regulations, where the hospital would no longer call him if someone asked for a priest. You (or a relative) had to call him when you headed to the hospital.

Hrmn.

Sounds fishy in any case.

I believe that with privacy regulations, they can't let anyone else know that you are sick, unless you've signed off on it ahead of time. If you or a family member tells a priest, that's fine, but the hospital is forbidden to.
