THE FOLLOWING IS
MY MIRACLE..bj

(The following MIRACLE was posted a few years ago....)

IT IS THE MOST UPLIFTING STORY IN MY LIFE.

Two of our precious grandsons each had their backs broken within a year of each other.BROOKS, 13 years old, a motorcycle accident, very serious, heartbreaking and heart-stopping for days, into weeks before we knew that he WOULD be okay, with time.

At first, the doctors said he may not even SURVIVE such trauma...

then, if he did, he might not walk again.

There's no words in this world to describe our hurt, our fear.

We spent many nights, pacing, crying, praying, stomping feet and back to praying....

I thought, that in my lifetime, my heart had hurt before but nothing ever hurt like this.

We all were so scared, we could barely breath.

He spent many weeks in the hospital and wore a back brace for a year.

UPDATE: 8/2011
Brooks is a strong, healthy and MIGHTY good-looking 18 year old.

He has a slight hump on his back that will most likely stay with him

all his life but his doctors say his back is HEALTHY .
He does need a good mattress..and his back gets tired sooner than he wants...
but he is doing so well.

We give thanks to our Heavenly Father for HIS mercies...

and ALL PRAISE goes to HIM.

The older brother, 16 years old, in a VERY serious automobile accident.
Very serious broken back,
cut his nose away from the top part of the lip....

another heartbreaking, heart- stopping few days, into weeks/months .

Our hearts were hurting so, we could barely speak, breath;
we just sobbed and prayed,
declared "why not ME?"
and back to praying...we
WE ALWAYS CAME BACK TO PRAYING.

UPDATE..8/2011
Drew still has a little weakness in his back...it has healed good, the doctors say, but his back seems to bother him at times of tiredness...it may take a little longer to strenghten and we all pray for him and his brother ALL THE TIME.

Every single morning, I wake up so thankful, so grateful,
so full of life and joy that both of these fine young men
that I love more than life itself,
survived these accidents,
came away still able to walk,
still being able to plan on a full, smiling life....

and this is one of those mornings I just needed to talk about it and express, in writing, and to you, what I express to GOD every single day.

THANKFULNESS will follow me all the days of my life....

I DO BELIEVE IN MIRACLES....!!....
AND I KNOW WHO PERFORMS THEM....

THERE IS NO DOUBT !

PINK SATURDAY,

KELEE at Katillac Shack 

for the MIRACLE PARTY ....

PLEASE go over and see what it is all about.

It's a wonderful way to help people so in need of a MIRACLE.

LAST YEAR, we helped a sweet lady with breast cancer.

This year, it's a little boy...brain tumors.

 

Here is a message from Kelee:

You may have heard about the up-coming MiracleMakeover Video Reveal Party. We will be sharing the story of a little boy who is probably a lot like your son, grandson or nephew; he loves cars, trucks and trains. Charlie enjoys riding his bicycle, too. But, he is different than most eight year-olds in two ways: he has brain tumors and he leads a toy drive to help kids in chemotherapy to have happier holidays. "Charlie Santa" was founded by our hero when he was just five and in his first round of chemo. This is one of the reasons he was chosen to be an ambassador for kids with Neurofibromatosis Type1, and a recipient of a Miracle Makeover.... here is a little about Charlie and his family.... I hope you decide to write a post for the internet-wide party the week of August 12-18; posting on Facebook and leaving comments will help raise more money for another MiracleMakeover for someone in-need. Read all about it here..... or HERE and be sure to come to see the heart-warming reveal video of the new rooms for Charlie, Liam and Katie that will be here August 12-18. Read the story of his room makeover at Guideposts.org.
