Do you believe in miracle's?

Have you ever witnessed a miracle? I have witnessed two! Although most people would not consider them miracles but modern medicine. But I have two stories that I would like to share with you ...or should I say miracles!! I'll start with the one that has effected me personally. My son. When he was born he was given a clean bill of health. He was a normal newborn. All ten toes and ten fingers, normal weight and height, nothing out of the ordinary, until the day after he was born. He pediatrician came into check him out and us that he was in great health other than he had a heart murmur. He said alot of babies are born with them but by the time they leave the hospital they have gone away. great i thought no big deal! But then it came time to leave the hospital, the pediatrician had to come in and check him again before leaving the hospital. He said that he still heard the murmur but it should be fine but to be safe he wanted us to bring him to his office in two weeks. I thought ok no big deal. so we enjoyed our first two weeks with our new son. we took him to the pediatrician two Weeks later for his appointment. he looked him over and listened to his heart again, he had a funny look on his face, and told us that to be safe he wanted us to see a pediatric cardiologist. because his murmur had not gone away. At this point i still was not thinking that anything was wrong, he just had a murmur it would go away. so a few days later we went to see the cardiologist, boy was I in for the shock of my life. They did a whole bunch of test on our 3 week old baby, ekg, sonogram. needless to say my Son was not happy camper with everyone poking at him. so after all the test we were told to sit in the room and the Doctor would be in soon. so I tried to quiet my son down. then what seemed like forever the Doctor came in sat down and looked at his chart and just started talking, all i heard was hole in his heart and open heart surgery! WHAT WAS HE TALKING ABOUT!!!!! So my husband in his own way (if you know him you will know what i am talking about) said "Hold on, back up, why does he need surgery" and the Doctor just said I'll explain it to you so he drew a picture of what was suppose to be a heart but it like more like a drawing of a three year old if you ask me! but he did his best to explain it to us but we are not doctor's and apparently he though that we were because we had not idea what he was talking about. so my husband voiced his opinion to who was in charge and from then on they were very clear with us and made sure that we understood everything. Samuel was born with a ventricular septal defect. which is basically a whole in his heart between the two pumping chambers, so the whole allows the blue and red blood mix. which makes it hard for the blood to get to the lungs so his lungs were working overtime! we were very devastated by this news, but we new that it had to be done sooner than later because the end result would be that he would have a very hard time breathing and could even lead to death. we were given all kinds of info and because of the lawsuits that people make against hospitals these days , the doctors are required to tell you every worse possible case scenario. so we were told that because they have to stop his heart to do the surgery that there is a potential of him not waking up, because he was so small he would need a blood transfusion so he could get aids, so as you can imagine this was a very hard time for us. after a long 2 months of testing and surgery prep, we had set the date for the end of march I think it was the 28th. but one day in late February of 2005 I received a call from the hospital asking me if I would want to move his surgery to march 8th . I was shocked I didn't know whether to say yes or no. I had to have time to prepare myself for what was going to happen to my son! so after a long talk with my husband we decided to say yes to get it over with! So on March 8th 2005 my son who was two weeks shy of being 3 months old went to the hospital for open heart surgery!! after not sleeping at all that night and just crying for my son! i was amazed at how calm I was some very close Friends of ours and our family came to be with us! I was glad to have them there. the interns(its a teaching hospital) came and introduced them selves to us. they seemed nice enough. then the Doctor came and introduced himself , He was so nice I felt that God had hand picked him(he was the best doctor that did this kind of surgery)when the nurse cam and took my son from my arm's I was calm but afraid. He was sound asleep. the nurse put him up on her shoulders and as they were walking away through the doors to the surgery room ,my son opened his eyes and looked up at us as if to say mommy,daddy I will be ok! I will never forget that look! to make a very long story short he came through his surgery with flying colors!!! He doctor's all told us how surprised they were at how well he did. He was in the nicu for about two days and then was sent to a regular room. people all over were praying for my son. even one lady who's son was in the niu as well with a brain tumor(he was about 8 years old) not sure if her own son was going live or not she was praying for my son! How humbling that was to me. to make an even longer story short my son is now 3 years old and is healthy as any little boy can be! He still goes for check-ups but only every two years now. the last check-up he had was last Christmas 2006 and they told us that if they didn't know that he had the surgery they would never have know anything was wrong with his heart! Praise God! so you see I have witnessed a miracle!!! Every time I look into my son's eyes and see that sparkle! I know he is a miracle and God has great plans for him!


The next Miracle is about a man who only a month ago fell 30 feet off of the roof of the house he was building for his soon to be wife and him . He landed right on his head, and had severe trauma to his head and lungs. (I will keep this one short) He was not doing well at all and was in very serious condition. but to the doctor's surprise he had no broken bone and no spinal injuries. well its been a long 4 weeks but he is now out of the trauma unit and is breathing and eating on his own and talking, His family is amazed at the progress he has made in just a few short weeks. h still has some rehab to do he will have to learn how to do things again, but for the most part is healing and getting better everyday!

God is still in the business of doing Miracles my Friends!!! So why should we be surprised when our prayers are answered and healing has come when it's not expected? We all need to have a little more faith in God, He knows what he is doing, let's leave it all up to him.

Mark 9:24 "Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe: help me overcome my unbelief."


I think we all should pray what this man prayed when he witnessed Jesus heal his son!!
