PRAISE THE LORD, FOR HIS MERCY ENDURETH FOREVER!
Many of you know that my husband, Carl, went in for by-pass surgery on Dec 16. His dr was optomistic and said he had only .1% of any problems arising.
We went to the hospital at 5AM. Didn't leave unti 7:30AM. Surgery was to be 4 - 5hrs. Dr said he wouldn't stop bleeding and he had to call another dr to help. And then they had problems weaning him off the by-pass machine. His bp and surgar readings were all over the map for the 5 days he was in CCU. On Dec 22, he was released to intermediate care.
Two days later, he was told he could go home on Christmas Eve! No rehab, no nothin'. (Except for a mentally impared wife who was terrified! Bi-polar, panic attacks, short term memory loss, fibro...)
Carl told me yesterday that before he was discharged, the dr came in and told him: the bleeding was not stopping and they were doing everything they could - and then, just suddenly, it stopped! The dr had never seen anything like it. No gradual ceasing, just stopped! He said he could have lost Carl.
Carl told the dr that God was guiding his hand. Things like that just don't happen, when there is no reason for them to, unless God takes control.
Carl asked the dr if he was a Christian. Dr said he was. But when Carl asked him if he believed in miracles, he was nonpulsed!
Praise God, Carl is still here. He must have a reason for that!
And thank you to all of you who were praying for us. Please continue, as we still need your prayers to get through this. Would you please pray for me, that I could do the job I was made to do! (I'm a retired private caregiver, and this should be right up my alley!)
In Jesus, amen
