Thank you both for your prayers,
and thank you to anyone else who has prayed, also.
You're not going to believe this, but it got worse (then better, that's later).
The hospice outfit that the nurse worked for sent a man
to her house who posed as their Chaplain!!
Yes, I said posed.
He knocked on DSis' door, told her he was the Chaplain,
she mistakenly thought our mom had called them and so she let him in.
He immediately starts grilling her about her finances,
when did she expect to get any insurance,
exactly what type of medical insurance did they have, etc.
She started shaking, getting very frightened since it became
obvious this man was not who he said he was.
He offered no spiritual help, no Bible was produced, no prayers offered,
he just kept asking questions about her finances.
When she got angry and told him exactly what the hospice nurse had
done/not done, and what the transport person had done
(I just found out that the transport person started harassing
my DSis immediately for $$$, calling her every 2 hours starting the next day,
showing up at her house unannounced - I think 3 times - and to top it off
when they took her DH's body they didn't allow her time to give them
the special blazer she wanted him cremated in, and they took his special
blanket that he had kept around himself through the last days).
Well when she told the "chaplain" all this he told her (quote),
"You need to cool your jets, I want you to wait 24 hours before
contacting anyone. I promise you the hospice will help take care of
the expenses you've been presented with (yeah, right!)."
He left soon after that, leaving my DSis very upset and frightened.
This is beyond the pale, I have so much anger right now and no way
to take action on DSis' behalf, I can only continue to pray that the Lord
will do something to stop them from taking advantage from someone else.
But, now on to the good news:
The director at the local funeral home that informed her that this outfit was known for these shady deals,
has apparently (and thankfully) taken it on himself
to personally contact the coroner and let him know what has happened.
Our understanding is that the coroner has already retrieved the body,
or is planning to, however my DSis has not been told concrete information
and she still has no idea where her DH's body is,
only that it "is in a cardboard box in a drawer somewhere"
(this was told to her by the transport creep in one of his calls to her,
and that's exactly how he said it).
Another good thing is that she has at least one message from this guy on
her message machine tape, and perhaps 1 or 2 more.
It's been 3 weeks, she has no body and no death certificate.
In all honesty, I'm beginning to think not only are they extorting
her for money, but she will not be getting her DH's ashes.
I think this outfit has sold his body as a studen cadaver or something
and she'll be getting someone's dog or cat!
But after all that, God is so amazing, let me tell you what happened next:
The oxygen delivery came, I think, on Thursday (?),
then the so-called chaplain came on Friday (unannounced, BTW).
Yesterday (Saturday) there comes another knock on DSis' door,
and it's the oxygen delivery guy.
He's holding a large, fiber-optic Christmas tree in one hand,
and a big, wrapped present for Mikey in the other!!!!!!!!!
Are you getting a lump in your throat, yet?? *smile*
He says, "I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds, but I felt so badly
for your situation that I wanted to do something for you and your little boy."
God bless him, he was Jesus' hands & feet for sure!
He came in, set up the tree, helped Mikey unwrap his gift
and then he put it together for him and played for a while.
I never did get to find out what that gift was,
as we are all so amazed at God's real gift of that day,
the love that young man showed - may he be blessed twenty-fold!
We were very happy to hear that DSis had managed the day before
to put decorations up around the house for Mikey,
and the tree was the finishing touch.
To anyone reading this, all I can say is that it is true.
Outlandish, but true.
We would never have believed that someone who is placed
to help a family would have such evil intent.
If I could offer more evidence I would,
but this being the internet I cannot do that.
I will ask, though, that if you know anyone going through a similar
end-stage event and they are alone, please offer to be there before
anything is signed, or any decisions are made!
This really is happening to my sister, our mother is physically ill over it,
but there is virtually nothing we can do.
You and your family will be in my prayers.
Hi everyone! Hope that you all are doing well. It has been really busy here at work so I haven't posted a lot in the last week or so. Have been checking in briefly to read posts and keep up with everything going on.
It gave me chills, and lots of "AMEN, thank you Lord" statements. And a lot of crying. I think I was crying more seeing this, than I did The Passion. 
Can't explain it in words! LOL
