Another "God thing"

  Today we had a followup appointment with Dr. Parikh. He is pleased with my progress; goal is to improve a little every day, and we can definitely see that.
  When he came into the room today, he said, "There's my miracle patient!" And he told us that the rare clostridia blood infection I had has a 10% survival rate!  Add that to the fact that only 15% of pancreatic tumor patients qualify for surgical removal, and it can only be explained by a miracle from God. Once more, thank each of you for your prayers. Only God could do it.
  One of my biggest faults that God has pointed out to me is impatience. Progress is so very slow that I still struggle with it. Please pray that I keep focused on Jesus and take one day at a time.
  Bless you all.

  4. Oh Ray and Rita ~ If we could but convey the depth of His love and caring... That
    will be your forthcoming privilege; to tell of your spiritual journey and how all that
    happens is calculated by Him to be a blessing and, in turn, to bless others. You are
    sounding stronger and stronger.... When you look back over your shoulder you will
    see the benefits of patience, patience, patience......in His time.
    Love and Blessings to you both.
