I have just witnessed another one. My brother had a stroke a month ago and this time last week the family was considering such awful decisions like DNR. During our visit last night he walked out to greet me wearing his "Life is Good" T shirt. His eyes were spearkling as he recounted being "asleep" for a month and suddenly waking up. This is the second time that he has been snatched from death having survived a leg amputation and subsequent heart failure. He is also only one of 3 patients (according to his Renal Dr.) do be off of dialysis after being on for two years (he was allergic to the dye that they used in diagnostic tests and lost his kidney function). He is needing more cognitive rehab and will be moved to Riverview this morning. When he heard the news last night-he considered all the implications and started singing his praises to God. His journey is still a long one but the miles we've convered in one short week have been astounding. I know the same God of miracles is caring for you.

I so hope this is the situation today. We're pulling for you Olaf and hope not only that it doesn't make you feel too sick, but that it kicks the #$%@ out of the cancer.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01243400912082324498noreply@blogger.com
