We Just Witnessed A Miracle. Praise Jesus Christ. Yes, Miracles Are REAL…

This weekend we noticed our 11-month-old son wheezing with every breath. ‘He has a virus,’ we thought. After 24 hours of no other symptoms, we realized our worst fear: a foreign object. He ingested something, it got stuck and was blocking his breathing. We dropped our daughters off with the grandparents and sped to the hospital.

X-Rays were inconclusive — can’t see objects that are not metal. The ER doctor was ready to send us home. But my nurse wife’s spiritual instincts were sharp and Kate insisted.

After admission to the Operating Room and an excruciating 90 minute endoscopy a sunken-faced doctor emerged to give us news parents fear most: ‘Yes, there is something stuck in his left upper bronchus. I can’t get it out. I tried everything.’ It was a piece of yellow crayon.

We spent a tortured night awake watching over our exhausted baby in a medical crib hooked up to monitors.

In the morning, a children’s lung specialist came to see us. Dr John wanted to try again. It was this or removal of part of my son’s lung. We agreed. Another round of anesthesia, and then you hand your infant over to near-total strangers.

It rips your soul out.

We waited outside the Operating Room, every second bound-up in prayer. After another 90-minute eternity The Pulmonologist emerged; sweaty and tired and looking exhausted. He stopped in front of us and then held up a small medical vial with the floating remnants of a yellow crayon.

We both broke-down in real tears.

The doctor had exercised every skill and tool deep inside the lung of our boy for over an hour. He nearly gave up. But then, just the right alignment of the obstruction and it mover — they GOT IT. The doctor called it ‘lucky’ I call it a literal miracle.

Baby Theodore is home and doing great. Praise GOD.

As a parent, seeing your child in pain and suffering is the worst feeling on earth. This is where faith becomes real. Knowing your child is going to be OK is the best feeling on earth. Nothing even comes close. Never lose faith. Trust the Holy Spirit. And remember Jesus Christ is the great healer. Christ is King. 👑

Christ is King 👑
