Hello Everyone,

Barrie is continuing to make good progress.  Last night his speech was almost back to normal and he was able to lift his left arm, squeeze with his fingers, and move his left thumb.  His humor is certainly intact too!  If all continues in this positive direction, he is due to move today to the step-down unit and eventually to rehab.  He is very tired and still cannot have visitors, but we are all so thankful for your thoughts, prayers, and offers of support. 

Our daughter Steph had already arrived before Barrie was taken to hospital and our son Tim and his family arrived Wednesday evening (all planned long before as Tim is on his block leave).  Our daughter Keren and her family are hoping to arrive early next week.  Barrie will be resting in hospital while we have 2  two-year-olds and a four-month old getting to know each other!

One urgent need we have is for the loan of a car seat which is suitable for a four month old.  We do have the use of one for our 2 year old.  I am hoping to meet Keren and her family from Newark when they arrive.  (Please contact the office if you have one and would like to drop it off).

We love you, our OSA family,

Lois Ann

 
 
Last night Pastor Barrie suffered a T.I.A. I’ve been told he’s feeling much better and Lois Ann, his daughter Stephanie, and Jacob are with him as I type. Prayers requested and welcomed. I will do my best to keep everyone up to date as I receive information. For now, he’s being held for observation (might want to throw in a few prayers for his nurses) at Columbia Presbyterian.

We request that any inquires are directed to the office.
Many thanks,
Marisol Fernandez

I invite everybody to go onto this link and watch this two min video. If you watch it right through, it will help this sixty-five year late opportunity for the WWII survivors to meet and honor their dead compatriots.
