AMAZING MIRACLE

Our good friend Larry Best woke up on the morning of October 15th feeling lousy and starting coughing up blood and told his wife Lori to call an ambulance. Withing 12 hours of this, Larry's organs had completely shut down and he was on full life support. The Doctor's ran many tests and they were perplexed at what was causing his body to shut down. He tested negative for swine flu and all other tests came back negative as well. As if being on life support wasn't bad enough, he took a turn for the worse and he went into septic shock and they prepared Lori for the worst, and told her he may not make it. We as friends, who love them both dearly, were devastated at this news. The Doctor's told Lori to pray for a miracle. We started praying day and night and spread the word among those we consider prayer warriors. His family, friends, co-workers, and people he has never even met, all in unison prayed and petitioned God for Larry's life and recovery. The first 48 to 72 hours were tenuous to say the least, and it look bleak by all medical standards. However, then there started to be small signs of improvement each day after and by October 24th, the MIRACLE HAPPENED! Larry was taken off of life support and started talking. He asked his wife what happened to him? A MIRACLE HAPPENED! What a testimony Lori and Larry now have. The power of prayer works and we are so thankful for God's Amazing Grace. Larry still has some hurdles to overcome before he can be released from the hospital but we are still praying for a full recovery, restoration, and revelation of how great God's love is!
