Ever had a Miracle in your life??? by Mikekoz13 on 16 Apr, 2008 04:52

We hear about miracles all the time but have you ever had a miracle happen in your life? I'll start:
My son Kody is 11 years old now and just a regular boy. He was born with no problems and the first eight months of his life were as normal as could be. But at 8 months he started having seizures. He was diagnosed with a fairly rare condition called Infantile Spasms. The doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Md. diagnosed him and told us that his seizures would get worse and that he would begin to lose physical and mental capabilities. In a relatively short time he would wind up in a wheel chair and spend his life there with little quality of life.The diagnosis for 90% of kids with this condition was bleak. We were devastated.
Time went by and the seizures continued relentlessly for five years..... up to 24 seizures a day. But Kody never slid back physically or mentally. About a year into the whole thing i asked one of Kody's doctors why he hadn't wound up in that wheelchair and why he was "normal". The doctor looked me squarely in the eye and said, "I will not question a miracle..... you and your family have been blessed by one".
The seizures stopped just over six years ago and Kode-Man has some mild learning disabilities but he is no doubt our Miracle. -

Back in my senior year in college, another guy fell asleep at the wheel, crossed the line and hit my car head-on on highway 65, just north of Springfield, MO. It took a couple of hours to cut me out of the car and then get life-flighted to the hospital. I spent the next 2 weeks in a coma, about 2 months in the hospital, and at one point stopped breathing and was put on life support.
I had alot of people praying for me, around the clock, for a couple of weeks. Though I don't think of it often, because it has now been over 20 years ago, that was one point in my life that I know should have been different without divine intervention and friends and family that were praying for me. -

Wow guys, Those are 2 of the best miracles I've heard. What an amazing outcome for both of you.
Rick I cant top being hit head on by a car and surviving however I do remember driving home from my job as a pizza cook my Senior year of High School in 1998 and crossing a level grade crossing that had no lights or guards down.
Just as I crossed the tracks at about 60mph I notice the car in the other lane was stopped right at the crossing. It took 1 second for my brain to process this and as I looked into the rear view mirror a giant train caming roaring through. Had I been 2 seconds earlier I would have been a car/man casserole. The hand of God was indeed watching over me that night. -

I cant really think of any miracles that have happened to me. When I think of miracles...I think of life threating situations or illnesses. But, we all have miracles happening to us everyday that go unnoticed...such as waking up in the morning. Every day is a miracle given to us from God.

Wow, great stories guys, glad the man upstairs decided to get involved and keep you around for us to enjoy.
I dont know if I have any that are "hand of god" miracles, but I am sure there are many I have been lucky enough not to know.

Mike and Rick, after hearing your stories, it really ought to give some perspective to people who are depressed over losing hair. Anyone falling into that category -- wake up and count life's blessings... oh, and don't forget to shave your head.

BAMMM!BAMMMM!!! Stu really GETS it! Count your blessings in life guys. But I should add here..... that these situations really do turn out to be blessings in so many ways. My son's problems have helped make me the man that I was never sure that I could be. EVERYTHING is in perspective in our family because of what we have been thru.
***Please be sure to check out Tony's(NAVRN) daughter's page that he posted a link to. ***I don't know Tony personally but I KNOW that I've experienced many of the same feelings over the years that he and his family has. Maybe even help a little girl out a bit....... -
