Well, I have been gone for a few days, and I came back and saw where a certain thread has been pulled. Oh well, we had some good discussions in it.
But for the main thought of this thread.... Thank You Jesus !!!
I have been at Arkansas Childrens Hospital since Thursday. I nearly lost my adopted son , Jace. He is almost 3 years old, and had not been feeling well. His PSP was out of town , so we contacted his DR.'s at A.C.H. and they said to bring him up, it might be serious. Well it was. His shunt, that drains fluid from his brain and prevents swelling, had failed, and the ventricles were shown on the Cat Scan to be much larger than normal. This swelling crushes brain cells and causes brain damage and death. It was seriousenough that they contacted his Neuro Surgeon before telling us, and bumped him to the first spot on the surgical list that morning..... it was already past midnight when they found the problem. Well, he had the brain surgery to fix the broken parts, and he is doing wonderfully. The Neurosurgeon said he would have some regression in ability, but he is alive and they do not believe there will be any perminant brain damage. He is back home now, and resting. We , the wife and I , are sooooo happy, and thankful to Our Lord..... Everything in this mess had to go perfectly, or he could have suffered perminant damage or even died.... but the Lord had his hand all over this problem, and Jace is alive and well. When the Dr's. saw the size of the ventricles on the CT, they said they were amazed he was still even conscious or remotely alert. God has truely blessed our home and our Child.......
Try and convince me that God no longer does miracles..... I dare ya......
Reality check ..... Make sure that everyone in your life knows how much you love them .....
