DIOS
Witt's lungs are a little better today. Hopefully, before the end of the day they will do a pressure support trial and see how he does. If that goes well they will try to extubate him. We were told that Dr. Morales actually will not be back in the hospital till Thursday. It appears that it will be a few days before Melanie and Austan will discuss the possibility of surgery with him. I continue to ask God to showoff...to reveal Himself to everyone involved in Witt's care. Maria, the receptionist in the PICU waiting room, just called me over to her desk. A young Hispanic woman was there. Maria wanted me to hear the young woman's story and had to interpret for me. The one "word" that was said many times and didn't need interpreting was "Dios." Two years ago her one year old son was in the PICU. She was saying her final goodbyes after the doctors told her that her son had passed away. She continued to call upon Christ and miraculously her baby came back to life! The doctors were stunned. She was telling them that he was alive and finally they examined him and said truly he was alive. He is now three years old. Is anyone surprised that his name is Jesus! I don't know what God's plan is for Witt but I know that God is Able! And I know that the same God who was glorified in Jesus' healing will be glorified by whatever He chooses to do in Witt's life!

Your post made me think of the song "I'd Need a Savior" so I'm sending the lyrics....
Among The Thirsty - I'd Need A Savior
How many names can I use to explain the love of my Jesus,
the life that he gave and so many times will I praise you today.
I lift up my life ‘cause you’re always the same
And my offering to you I bring
Chorus:
Your name is Jesus. Your name is Jesus.
You’re the Wonderful, Counselor, my Friend.
You’re what I hold on to; I know that you brought me through
All the days of loss, to the cross you knew
I’d need a Savior.
How many songs can I sing to proclaim your wondrous love and beauty so great?
What would I say if you brought down the rain and everyday
I walk through the pain my heart would still say…
Chorus:
Your name is Jesus. Your name is Jesus.
You’re the Wonderful, Counselor, my Friend.
You’re what I hold on to; I know that you brought me through
All the days of loss, to the cross you knew
I’d need a Savior.
You’re what I hold on to; I know that you brought me through
All the days of loss, to the cross you knew
I’d need a Savior.
I’d need a Savior
I need you, Savior
Through all of this there is the constant reminder that WE ALL need a Savior. I pray that God will let the light shine on Witt and reflect the true image of His Son to all those that come into contact with Witt and our family. I also pray that the touch of a Savior guides the doctors and nurses and leaves no doubt that God was with us! Be strong big Witt!
Doctors (not all, thank goodness) sometimes have a bad habit of thinking themselves gods, but I love it when our Saviour puts them in their place...humbling even them. There is still so much more that God has to reveal in Witt and I'm praying, along with everyone else, that the doctors are spirit filled.
