Be careful little eyes what you see…

Now that the ground in the south has been cleared, people are making gruesome discoveries that will haunt them for a lifetime. Avi Mayer of the Jerusalem Post wrote that a woman was found murdered with an unborn child next to her, still attached to its umbilical cord. An elderly woman found in a pool of blood, her body riddled with bullet holes. Entire families found burned to death in their homes and babies beheaded. These scenes are like a horror movie, and no human being should have to encounter such things. The soul isn’t meant for such evil.

The message has been sent from the Israeli government to warn that soon our social media will be flooded with vile images and horrific videos of torture and death, with those in captivity pleading for rescue. The terrorists entire strategy is causing terror. We do not help the situation by perpetuating it, and especially not allowing young children to see such things. We need to be careful and wise about what we let ourselves and others see. Because as we’ve all experienced, once you see something, you can’t unsee it.

The Israeli Government requests two things that you can also do:

1. Do not share these videos or photos; they are part of psychological warfare against Israel and even against you.

2. Prevent your children from watching them; they are not suitable for children and will be terrifying.

The message reminds us that these are human beings who are being objectified and exploited for visibility, likes on social media, and to compromise our Jewish spirit. If you want to help Israel, being discerning about what you look at and post this is of the ways you can help.

PLEASE PRAY

Pray for the families who have to process not only loss but extreme trauma in the wake of these attacks
Pray for those who survived and witnessed horrors
Pray that the terrorists aim to terrorize would be curtailed by people refusing to share images and videos
Pray for us as a nation, Jews and Arabs, believers and non-believers, to look to God who can heal and restore

Praise God as we near our fundraising goal for little Neljane.... She is scheduled for Open Heart Surgery in less than a month! Now, even more than ever, she needs the covering of our prayers. We will keep her account open as well so that you can bless her family as she convalesces. Thanks again for your love and support: https://mercyteams.org/heart-gift-for-neljane/ 💕

Most of my patients know of our special relationship with the people of the Philippines. We have a special love and bond with one little child.... Her name is Neljane. I pray now you will take a moment to read about Neljane and to consider helping us to save her life. Any donation is a blessing. And tax deductible, too. Thank you in advance. Her heart has been placed in our hands... ❤

Our clinic is closed today so that I could go to my own medical appointment. And I got some good news from my orthopedist! He has okayed me to “do whatever I want“. I’m not yet fully healed, but the metal will hold this thing together well enough at this point. So it’s OK for me to walk and work on it!  Lots of projects have been on hold so….. 😊

The symptoms of a concussion vary from person-to-person and depend on the severity of the initial injury.

Telltale signs of a concussion include:
Headache or feelings of pressure in the head
Dizziness or 'seeing stars'
Nausea
Sensitivity to lights and sounds

More serious concussions can also cause vomiting, fatigue, and slowed cognitive reactions. If you experience these or other similar symptoms, it's important to seek professional medical help right away.

Did you know there is a bursa that can become inflamed under your shoulder blade? This is a common problem that responds very well to a cortisone injection.... but often goes untreated.

Subscapular Bursitis causes pain under the shoulder blade in the mid upper back and can become very
