"Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves his children, too. We know we love God’s children if we love God and obey his commandments. Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome. For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith. And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God!" [1 John 5:1-5]
We stand in awe...as our Lord God Almighty reigns! And through His Son - our Risen Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus - there is Victory!
The news broke around 11:00am, when we first spoke with Dr. Morell - who in his own words said..."there is not a whole to say!" And in that...there is a lot we can say! Our God is the Great Physician, Healer and Redeemer! He is the Resurrection and the Life! And though the doctors/surgeon's may be speechless - Jackson continues to be a testimony to His Healing, Hope and the Full and Abundant Life we have in Him! And as I sit here "cribside"...all the nurses and doctors can say is, "he is doing remarkable!"
The surgery was "textbook", perfect and without flaw! Christ truly used Dr. Morell and our team of surgeons, doctors and nurses to perform His miracle this morning! It was seamless, smooth and complete within an hour and half! Jackson recovered for an hour...and when we entered his CICU room, this is how we found him:
[I guess we are not the only ones raising our hands in Praise of our Heavenly Father's miracle!]
He looks great! His post-op labs are wonderful! His saturation levels and vitals are perfect! The drainage off the heart has slowed, and he is resting comfortably!
The only concern at this point is that his body temperature is a little low, and they are working to get him warmed up - with lots of blankets and heating pads! I guess he got use to the sub freezing temperatures and 3 feet of snow we had over the last 3 months of his life - and his body does not know how to respond to the 60 degrees and sunshine we are experiencing here today in the 'burgh!
I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do
It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
It’s just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It’ll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing*
