amazing story

Yes, more than amazing, it is a beautiful story that proves hope is eternal and we should never give up. Just goes to show: The medical profession can never be certain. I will never underestimate the power of God. We have had our own miracle.

At age 15 my son suffered a severe head trauma. He had four subsequent neurosurgeries over the years. The last surgeon reviewed his entire case before operating. After he completed the 10 hour surgery he met me in the recovery room. Standing together beside my son the doctor took my hand in his. He said "Mom, I don't know your religion, I don't know to whom you must pray. But I do know, after reading your son's records, that there is no medical reason he should be alive. There must be a great plan for him." That was over 20 years ago!

Although my son is blind, he holds a Master's Degree and lives independently. I never let go of hope. Hope is given to us to keep and never give away.
