My Dad has short term memory loss. He can remember things vividly if they happened 20 years ago, but if it was 5 minutes ago he can’t recall it. He has been by my Mother’s side for a week and would not leave her. She fell and broke her hip. He finally went home with my daughter to get some sleep. The plan was to get him early the next morning. When she got there, he was not there. His truck which he has not driven for a year was gone as well. She called his cell phone and he answered. He thought he was in Arkansas. There was a church and the sign had Valley Hill United Methodist Church. The phone signal died and no more info. The nurse was in the hospital room when my daughter called. She and another nurse get on the internet to try and find Valley Hill United Methodist Church. They found one in Greenwood, Mississippi. The nurse using a code on the hospital phone called the Greenwood Highway Patrol. In a matter of minutes, the highway patrol calls back and report they have him. It was a miracle. Thank God for concerned, caring nurses and the internet!!
