God's miracle

I am proud to say God has been doing miracles in our family and the latest one is daddy coming home. It started March 15th with us taking daddy to Jackson Hospital in Montgomery for two toes that had turned black and he had been diagnosed with everything including athletes fungus.... it was not anything they had said. Daddy had blockages so bad in his legs that it had cut the circulation off to his rightfoot and it was dying. The doctors did a bypass after a catherization didn't work and it went beautifully. We gave God the praise and the devil got mad and daddy had a heart attack two days later. The doctors diagnosed him with congestive heart failure and he started retaining fluid in his lungs and they had to put him on a ventilator. Things got worse before they got better. 19 days on the respiratgod or and two different times they were telling us to expect the worst and get things in order...but God had another plan. I am sharing a few photos because I want youto be able to know just how far God brought our miracle.
They even had to do dialysis twice...but then the DOCTOR STEPPED INTO THE ROOM!

They had talked about doing a trach but then God turned things around and they decided to try and ween him off the vent. By May 19th they were moving him to HealthSouth Rehab. 

It stinks that he lost weight on a feeding tube but he lost it none the less.... he said there were days when he couldn't feed himself at first because his body had broken down so bad and fast.  He said some days they would come get him for therapy and he would think there is no way he can do this but then when he got in there God just gave him strength. He would do everything they ask then little by little.... twelve steps....then 24....55....112....224...man he is zooming around that station....he told them his goal was to walk out of that place...

He worked so hard... He really wanted to walk out........


And God made a way! not only did he  walk out of rehab but.....




He walked into the house... up a ramp and right in the door... I am telling you God had done a miracle and we could not be more proud to shout God's praises! I pray God blesses you today and you can shout a little too!
