Through out this experience (my sister's heart attack) we have heard over and over about what a miracle she is, and it's not that I don't think she is, anyone of our "Team Harlean" knows what they have seen this past month. But is someone really a miracle? I think what we really mean is-God has performed a miracle. He took my sister and healed her, it's that simple. He performed a miracle. There are stories of miracles through out the bible, Old and New Testaments. This is one of those stories. These are some of the quotes we have heard in the hospital she is in:
"She is the sickest person we have ever had"
"Most people do not survive a tear in the heart"
"Her kidneys have fail-best case would be if she survives this-she will probably have to have dialysis 2 or 3 times a week" (not!)
The Respiratory therapist came in & smiling from ear to ear, she said "You have broken the record at Long Beach Memorial for the quickest healing sickest person ever"
One of the doctors yesterday referred to her as "Memorial's biggest miracle"....ain't that the truth!! The doctor who was in charge of the Pt's came in and hadn't seen her for a week and was astounded. I told her there were lots of prayers said and she said to keep them going. Harlean is a shining example of the power of prayer & God's miracles at work.
Her friend Jackie reported "Wow, what a day in Room 302b........Harlean had the best day & birthday ever....lots of gifts, balloons, singing and cake from the nurses, the best part of the day is when her grandson's Cash and West came in.......you should have seen her face light up...we sang again...they brought her little gifts and loved being able to kiss grandma and hold her hand....so precious. When we left around 4:30 Harlean was pooped...needed to sleep after the wonderful day....She even lifted her hand to her eye and scratched it....what an accomplishment....Jim with his hearing aids could here her talk too....voice got a little louder as the day went on...she improves more each day....she wants to be home!!!! She knows she has to work real hard for that to happen......eating her own breakfast was great yesterday.... the more she works those hands the better she gets....lots of pictures were taken of everyone with Harlean....The way she has improved is that all of her friends are there with God helping her recover.......this has been quite a journey for all of us but I know it has helped her recover so fast....Good Work Prayer Warriors........"
The lesson in all this has shown me-never doubt! All things are possible through HIM....
