Miracles.....

Just had to post quickly this morning to tell you about Angel. He is doing so well! I'm just going to cut and paste a tiny bit of Sarah's post from last night instead of relaying it myself. This is a testimony to me how God is moving in Angel's recovery and a living example of prayer at work....

"I have to tell you.... today.... we are ecstatic and tossing aside the "honeymoon" theory. We are so completely thrilled with his progress. Amazed and SO proud of him. We will take tomorrow as it comes with no expectations but TODAY?? Just thrilled. Our doctor who usually paints the most "realistic" picture came in tonight and said "Well... Angel is writing his own textbook on this. He is basically the poster child for liver and bowel transplant." He went on to say that he has never SEEN nor even HEARD of a patient doing as well as Angel has with no complications to speak of at this point. He should not even be extubated at this point and he has been extubated for 2 days. Usually after extubation they are on oxygen for at least 24 hours... he was off in 2 hours. He is only getting pain medication TWICE every shift - which is 12 hours. His tolerance of pain is nothing short of astounding. When I look at that gaping wound with 8 inch wide and tall exposed, CUT OPEN flesh, I cannot imagine that a person could be ALIVE with that sort of wound open... much less laughing, playing, feisty, and even sometimes rolling himself over for the nurses or trying to scoot himself up in bed. I just stare at him and marvel. "

Praise God!!!!
