The problem is, folks like this are why the government is getting involved in people’s private business. The good Lord gave us medical advancements in order to save lives. Folks just need to take advantage of them and quit tempting the Lord with their demands that He work a miracle instead. The medical advancements are the miracle you dingbats.
I had a 2nd cousin years ago...at age 19...married some guy who was like these parents. The cousin had a very similar condition as this young girl in the story. The husband, his family and the local church all got involved. They spent six months convincing the cousin to lay off the meds (this was around 1980). So the day came when my cousin quit the meds to make the husband happy. After ten days...she had issues. By the 20th day...she was having major issues. Someone in her family happened to come along...noted the health situation...and physically took her to the emergency room. The husband and his family were furious at the interference and violating “God’s will”. My cousin’s dad got involved and kinda laid out the situation...threatening action by the local county sheriff. The marriage ended a month or two later. This was in Alabama.
My guess...across the US on any given month...at least three hundred people die from this “God’s will” bunch. In most caes...its not obvious and no one says much about it.
