A Miracle

This is Ruthie. She is a 27-year-old married Christian woman. She lives on the Pacific coast of this country. A few weeks ago she got home with a terrific headache. Next she started to say things that did not make sense; so her family took her to the local hospital. They sent her to the big hospital at the capital. Now this hospital is about 5 hours away from her home; therefore, her mother, sister and husband who accompanied her needed a place to stay while she was there. Her sister is a missionary for Christ for the City; so our friends in the capital offered their home for them to stay while she was in the hospital. This is why there were 11 of of staying at this house.

An MRI revealed a blood clot in her brain, and she was immediately placed on a comma and on blood-thinners. She remained in the hospital for 23 days, but literally hundreds of people were praying for her, and she recovered completely. The chief neurologist is adamant that she did not have a blood clot because her full recovery. He wanted to do some very risky tests, but the family refused, and the doctor sent her home. She came home to our friends' house and slept about 15 hours. After she got up and had some food, she picked up a guitar and started singing praises to the Lord. She has a beautiful voice. She is still taking blood thinners and has to have moderate rest. Nevertheless, she is living proof of the Lord's power to heal.

The sun is out today and the rain has stopped for a while. We are planning to go to church in our little town tomorrow for the first time on this trip.

Until next time...from the beach...
