Thanks for reading her my poem, Brooke... Hopefully she'll get back to where she can talk normally.

I put it into Publisher and fancied it up a bit, then I printed it on poster paper. We have it hanging above the bed. :)

Something beautiful happened about an hour ago. My little brother, Stevie was sitting next to Mom, he had his little hand on her forehead and was just staring at her. All of a sudden, he got up and went to the slider that leads out to the upper deck outside of Mom and Dad's room. He threw the door open and said, "Mommy says they are coming." when we asked him why he did that. A moment later, doves...at least twenty of them, flew in and landed on her. Dad went and got the cameras, but they wouldn't work, all power had been drained from the batteries. They stayed on her for about 15 minutes, each one taking a turn to light on her head. After each one had done that, they all flew back out the door. Mom woke up then and told us she loves us, then said..."I'll soon be done, then I'll be able to stay home." And Dad told her that she was home. She looked at him and smiled, "I'll be able to stay." She then drifted back to sleep again. Miracles happen every day. :-)

Physically, she all of a sudden has full kidney function again. Anna took her off of the dialysis. Her lung is clear and she is breathing better. Dr. Liz has asked Dad to bring her down to the hospital for CT and MRI scans, just to see what the tumors are doing...if anything.

We grasp at hope, and the promise of miracles here. Maybe we are getting one...maybe.

Please keep praying for Mom. hugs to all! |G
For Myles--
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

For Mom--
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Fly...fly high against the sky...
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings

....Wow. That's beyond belief, Brooke, and quite miraculous. Life often outdoes the grandest fiction...the more I read this thread, the more I question my unbelief in a greater power.

Thank you Tracie for helping me along in my spiritual journey. Faith in God's love is so much easier for me because of you, even though we have never met or even had a conversation.
I will continue to pray for you and for your family. Through you I have come to believe in miracles.

Wow, I was just made aware of this. You're in my thoughts, Furls. Take care. If there's anything I can do for anyone, let me know.

Getting a post out of Durris is very nearly a miracle, eh? :lol:

Mom will be so happy to see your post, Durris! She has been asking about you and a few others she has been missing. :)

We believe she may be back in another coma, she isn't responding to anything we do. Even asleep she would squeeze our hands, move or smile when we talked to her. Today, however, she isn't doing any of that. Dad still plans on taking her down to the hospital tomorrow for the scans.

We keep praying for that miracle.

She is just mustering her strength (and that conveyed by the doves) to accomplish more healing. Keep in mind how much recovery she has demonstrated in the past week.

Firm faith, unwavering hope...and boundless love!
