Produktbeschreibung

Ada of the Angels recounts the journey of a young woman's struggle to regain her life following an automobile accident in February 1998. Her car got involved with a snowplow on her way to college in Central New York. During the mishap, she sustained severe injuries and fell into a deep coma. As she lay dormant, her loved ones anguished. They relied on the two planks of the cross, Faith and Hope, to keep them supported.

A family friend worked in the same surgery center I did and mentioned Ada's situation. I offered to try to help with alternative therapies. The other nurse was hesitant. She had seen me use alternative therapies on patients and heard patients say their pain and anxiety were less, but Ada was like one of her own children. What if something went wrong?

By the end of that bitter month, Ada had not awakened. My coworker spoke to Ada's family and since other choices had been tried and failed, alternative therapy was requested, but before I was allowed bedside the family wanted to know more about me. The alternative therapy methods were interesting to my co-worker and she learned the family history of my great grandfather and maternal aunt who were intriguing. When I shared the courses and the information researchers had done, the family invited me to try.

This comatose patient was the greatest challenge in my life. And all that I studied would play a huge role in this story, like building blocks, one method added to the other serendipity was at work. A nurse anesthetist trained in advanced alternative therapies walked into my life, simultaneously as a close friend introduced me to Therapeutic Touch and the Hopi Back Technique. All got employed to guide Ada out of the darkness.

The greatest lessons that came from being involved in this case are that God calls us to obey, He is in control, He hears our prayers and prayer works.

Ada's story is one every healthcare worker should take notice of and every heart should hear. Ada's journey is one of Faith, of Hope, and of Love.

Autorenporträt

Barbara A Scales grew up in the Central New York small village of Chittenango, the hometown of Frank L. Baum, the author of The Wizard of Oz. She is the middle child of eleven. Both of her parents worked hard all their lives. Her father worked three jobs in the summers to support them. As a child, if she was not swimming in the Canaseraga Creek of Madison County, she was wandering through the fields. From those wonderful days, she developed a great love of nature.
Barbara graduated from St. Joseph's School of Nursing, Syracuse, New York in 1979. She has retired, and now lives in Ocala, Florida. Several times a day, she goes for a walk with her husband and their adopted Siberian husky Sassie. Her hobbies are archery, swimming, and gardening. And their daughter and her family live in Marcellus, New York.
Her registered nursing career spanned 42 years. In that time she met and cared for many, but she owed her compassionate understanding of the ill and infirmed to her mother. Barbara worked alongside her mother in a nursing home while she attended nursing school. It was from observing her mother she learned how to be a nurse. And with a commitment to helping others, she studied the healing arts of Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, and Healing Touch.
Although in the past, writing for nursing journals and holistic magazines kept her busy, she now focuses on creative writing. Her first two projects are children's books, Wally the Whale with the Crazy Wavy Hair and Max and Jax: The Haunted Pumpkin Patch. Wally, created with the help of her grandson, entertains as well as helps kinesthetic learners. The Max and Jax book is a delightful romp through childhood and having the bejeepers scared out of you. Did I mention she has older brothers who liked to pull pranks?
During her nursing career, Barbara experienced firsthand that God is ever present at the bedside. Ada of the Angels, published by Smashwords 2021, takes a serious look at the healing arts and the power of prayer. It is an eye witness account of a family whose daughter was comatose following a serious car accident. They survived that crisis relying on the two planks of the cross, Faith and Hope. Prayers and healing techniques were done, and this book documents her journey back.
In the near future, you can enjoy more of Barbara's writing. She has other manuscripts underway. Beckoned is a paranormal romance based on otherworldly incidents she encountered over the years. Between the Heart...
