Peg's Thoughts

Let me introduce myself, I'm Peggy, Merrym's sister, (1 of her 6 siblings).
Her blog is a tag team effort. I'm here to give another perspective to Mer's life struggles.

Yes it's been 20 years, 20 long, very difficult years for my beautiful sister Merrym Dawn.
It was Fathers day June 19th, a beautiful Sunday when the phone rang at my home in Renton Washington.
My oldest sister Glory was on the line," Merrym's on a life flight from McKay-Dee hospital to the LDS hospital!" Now take note, McKay-Dee is at the most a 30 minute drive from Latter Day Saints. I knew something was terribly wrong!
"It's her leg, it's bad! They need to put her in a hyperbaric chamber!"
"She has a 20% chance of living and if she does, she'll probably lose her leg!"

I was in shock! My body slowly slid down the wall I had been leaning against, my hand covering my mouth.

Thoughts, thoughts, spinning thoughts!
What's wrong?! She's only 25! Got to pack! But James, he's so ill! Oh my God she's going to die!


The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed and restore him from his illness.
Psalms 41:3

Love you Mer
