Had malignant cancer, a Sacral Chordoma (very rare) in my Sacxrum. They had to take my entire sacrum and then rebuild my pelvic area as you see there with all that titanium and my own fibia bone from my right leg, and a blood supply via a huge blood vessel from my left leg.

They did it all (while I was in Houston for six months) earlier this year and I am back home and back at work full time now.

I do know what it’s like to be weaned off a ventilator... it takes a few days.

This is amazing progress. Generally recovery from severe head trauma is measured in months, not days!

Wonderful. As disheartening as the murders were, this is one bright spot.

This is not the doctors doing—this is the merciful Hand of God at work.

Where evil dwells, God still reigns.

Now, had Zero waited one more day, he could have taken credit for more than just the “opening of her eyes.”

The Lord laughs at the “one”.

They went a bit overboard by predicting her chances of survival are “101%” - who knows what could happen? But I’m glad she’s doing so much better than feared.

The doctor expected a full recovery since day one.

I don't think they could predict that well. They definitely expected her to survive, but no one can predict how much function she will have. Although it's now looking promising.

Since Rep. Giffords is Jewish, let me quote this prayer (the "Mi Sheberach") as well:

"May the One who blessed our ancestors, Sarah and Abraham, Rebecca and Isaac, Leah, Rachel and Jacob bless Gabrielle Giffords along with all of the ill among us. Grant insight to those who bring healing, courage and faith to those who are sick, love and strength to us and to all who love them. God, let your spirit rest upon all who are ill and comfort them. May they and we soon know a time of complete healing, a healing of the body and a healing of the spirit and let us say: Amen."

Actually...yes.

I can never explain to anyone except the few who have been there wht it means to have one. Your sacrum is like this thick armor plate down there and it transfers the pressure of something as simple as sitting down to your skeletal system. everytime I sit down now, I can feel the pressure of it all the way up through my internal organs...clear up to sensations around my lungs.

Takes getting used to...and I don't just "flop" down any more...never again.

But...I'm alive and it is what the good Lord has called me to pass through in this life and I will do so, praising Him for life and the opportunity to witness for my Savior.
