Miracles

Some people don't believe in miracles. But I guess I would have to tell them that they're wrong. My grandma was diagnosed with multiple myeloma (cancer) about 2 months ago. Prior to this the doctors thought that osteoporosis was the cause of the multiple fractures in her back. Turns out they were wrong. Luckily they told her that worst possible she had 5 to 10 years. She has been on multiple medications for the past 2 months. After last month's blood test the doctors were thrilled with the results. Her blood count was up and she was looking like she was on the path to a great recovery. Yesterday, she had another blood test that told her that her blood count was back to normal. Not back to before the medication...back to NORMAL. As in: what it should be. She will still be on the medication to prevent her blood levels to go back down, but seriously? How much more could we ask for?

The doctors told her that 3 years ago...having this disease would be a death sentence. Now we can just be grateful for the resourcefulness and amazing qualities of modern medicine. However, I'm proud to say that I know that our many prayers, fasts and blessings had a huge part in it. It is truly a miracle
