My Dad is a Miracle

[Sherri]

I just wanted to thank God this morning for my Dad being alive and well. He had a major stroke Feb. 15, 2000, and was like a complete vegetable for two months. He had surgery for a blood clot in his brain and after the surgery, they did something wrong in removing a tube and air got into his brain. He went from talking and laughing to being able to do NOTHING for himself. The doctors did not know if he would ever regain his skills. They didn't even know if he would live for a few weeks.

I asked God at the time for fifteen more years for him; we weren't ready to give him up. (I guess no one ever is). It has been eight years yesterday, and he's still going strong. He has a tube in his head that you can see, which is a constant reminder of what God did for him. He drives everywhere, goes on vacation, etc. The only lasting harm from it all is that he is constantly feeling off balance, so he can't golf anymore. And he feels like he's falling, even when he's not. They went on a cruise a couple year ago and we were afraid he would feel really off balance walking on the moving boat, but he was the only one who didn't feel it!!
