Spontaneous WOW at Joann O'brien's Hospital Room

Any WOWist will tell you that the WOW is never canceled -- the WOW is merely postponed!!

Or the WOW occurs spontaneously in other places in the environs of SCUU.

One WOW site was Joann O'brien's room at the hospital. Various SCUU WOWist visted Joann throughout the day and she was doing great. She especially loved the bouquet of flowers dropped off by Sara Hull from the SCUU Kids of RE. The boys made black and blue tissue flowers and the girls made pink and white tissue flowers -- a conversation ensued regarding the meaning of the flower color selection by gender. The usual issues were rounded up and discussed.

On behalf of the chocolate Committee Joann is happy to report that the chocolate Cake at the hospital is outstanding.

Paul as a fellow WOWist and as one of the few members of the Insurance committee is happy to concur that Joann is doing well. His wife Lou Ann also had a wonderful WOW time visiting Joann.

Special thanks to Rev. Amy for arranging Joann's transportation.

There was a study that said prayer does not help when done for the sick - specifically strangers from a distance praying for heart patients. Joann and fellow WOWist decided that prayer when presented in the form of worry and stress does not help. However any WOWist will tell you good thoughts and the positive power of love always helps.

As in the ancient Jewish tradition of bikkur holim (visiting the sick), although technically Joann is not sick she's recuperating, the WOW spirit thrives.

Please contact Rev. Amy or check the Digest for Joann's contact information.
