An Unexpected Miracle

So Tuesday afternoon was check-in day with the Infectious Disease doctor and to hear what he and the  CDC and/or WHO had managed to come up with.  The voluminous blood tests all showed I was dying if something could not be found ...

But Monday's blood draws instead of showing the same trends as the prior 6 weeks, showed me to be perfectly normal.

Really?  And people question whether prayer works?  Really?

Think about this - for six weeks limited or no kidneys, liver, bone marrow, oxygen carrying diminished as the red blood cells died, there was no iron because the body simply shut down that whole cycle!

And today I sit here - with perfectly normal numbers.

Oh, my body may show the effects of the damage done, my red blood cells may still be smaller than normal and cupped, but everything is working.

Pray God because we are talking miracle here.
The poor doctor was going crazy pouring over his tracking charts and NOTHING supported any idea of a reversal or recovery in any of the failing features.
He does not deal in miracles, he deals in facts and data.
He hit an anomaly and those do not exist to the practical mind.

How positive is he of my recovery as of today?

Next Friday, not this Friday, he is going to pull the catheter in my heart!  And I will get my right arm back.  And I will get to sleep in at 4 AM, rather than pumping myself full of antibiotics!  And maybe I will get my appetite back.  Maybe I can get on with life!

The worse week of my life anniversary seems to have lost some of its sting suddenly.

Thank you for your prayers, spread the word: Prayer works!  And I am grateful for you, your faithfulness and another chance at life ...
