God gave me a Miracle!



I just got back from a long visit with Drew and he's fine. And I do mean fine. He's sad and wants to come home- being all whiny like a child "but I wanna come home. I'll feel better home." Or I love this one, "Just tell them to write a script for all this (pointing to IV drips) and let's go!" He cried a bunch, but I didn't. I told him today was a day to celebrate! That he slept during the sad times, that everyone was happy and why was he sad. He said it was because he wanted to come home. A thousand times, we hugged, kissed and said I love you.

God gave me a mircale. The same doctor who told me early Monday morning that Drew was brain dead and going to die looked me in the eye and said "there's no explination for this." When Drew entered the ER he had 6.8% of "dead juice" in his system and 7.6% of "dead juice" is dead dead. They told us his brain activity was at a level just before death. They told us that if he did survive he would never walk, talk, or go home- as in brain dead on life support.

And he came back! (I didn't go into it but) I told him it was a miracle he was alive and that his life had purpose. (we discussed that) I'm telling you the doctors and nurses are all smiles and laughs but they look puzzled. He came back and it wasn't meant to be- it wasn't in his cards AND HE CAME BACK. I was with him for almost 2 hours and I really think he's back to where he was the day before the heart attack. They're going to let Drew chill in the hospital for a few days (Thur-Sun) and address the heart problem Monday- if he's up to it, his doctor said there was no rush. Drew's going to be bored and hate hospital confinement. He asked me to stay with him asap and they're talking about moving him from ICU tomorrow.




He's not out of the woods- he's going to have heart surgery. So keep up the prayers.

So many people have been praying- 6 churches, his doll groups, the prince.org family, friends, family and me. Something happened and the doctors can't explain it. Actually he said children who fall in freezing water while ice skating sometimes snap back like this- but Drew's an adult who had a massive heart attack, just had brain surgery 7 months ago and wasn't in freezing water!


Something HUGE happened and I thank you all for that!

Don't you know? Haven't you heard?
The Lord is the eternal God, Creator of the earth.
God never gets weary or tired,
God's wisdom cannot be measured.

The Lord gives strength to those who are weary.
Even the young get tired,
then stumble and fall,
But those that trust in the Lord
will find new strength
They will be strong like eagles soaring upward on wings;
they will walk and run without getting tired.

Isaiah 40: 28-31

Not my favorite translation, but I do like the scripture. Stu/Drew
