Life Has Been Hectic...Good, But Hectic

So many things have happened in the last couple of weeks...my folks were here for a few days while waiting for thier test results. Mom was waiting on a biopsy report, came back neg. Papa was waiting to see if he needed surgery and sure enough, when he went back home to the doctors, they scheduled him for the following Monday...Oct. 13.

Complications happened after surgery, when they took the vent tube out, his throat closed and they had to put it back in. Then, his kidneys formed a clot and he stopped producing urine. I live about 3 1/2 hours away and couldn't be with them. Mom called in a panic and God helped me get arrangements to get to them. All I knew is I needed to lay hands on him and pray. So, that's what I did. The doctors got his kidneys functioning but he was not out of the woods. I got there Tuesday evening.

Wednesday morning they were talking about putting him on life-support! His breathing was heavily labored, his eyes were not focused, he couldn't talk and his body and head was very swollen and yellow in color. While mom talked to the nurse about the life-support, which Papa didn't want, I went to him and asked him..."do you want to live and NOT die?" With everything he could muster, he said in a raspy voice, "Yes!" I said, "good. that's how we will pray then, that you will live and NOT die. I will lay hands on the sick and they SHALL recover according to God's word." Papa said, "Yes!" and so, I prayed and prayed and then Mom came in and prayed with me for about thirty minutes, we laid hands on him and prayed.

We prayed until he was praying with us!. He was saying, "Thank you, Jesus, Thank you, Jesus!" His eyes were focused, his breathing clearer, the swealing went way down in his face and he was able to talk. Dr. Jesus showed up and we were able to witness a miracle. No vent or life-saving method was needed other than our prayers and God meeting us. Papa goes home from the hospital Thursday, Oct 23, or 24.

Then, Sunday night, after church, Lucy had a seizure. First one she's had since April, 2007. It wasn't a bad one, but it was horrible just the same, poor girl.

This week, I'm working on getting ready for a craft show, Nov. 1. Along with building up some stock for the Christmas rush. Should be fun!
