Our Christmas Miracle!!!

         

Our Christmas Miracle came early this year!! 

     For those who haven't read my recent posts...my husband was scheduled to have  surgery this month. He has some blockages in his left leg. He was originally on a medicinal treatment for his condition. Although, it requires walking. He did that and it was working but last month he acquired an infected (Staph) wound on bottom and side of his left foot. Then he had to stay off of his foot which kept him from walking daily. The wound care doctor decided after 2-3 weeks of treatment, that it wasn't getting any better.  He and our vascular surgeon, Dr. Zach Baldwin, discussed it and  decided surgery was necessary, to keep infection from getting in his bone and causing him to lose his foot.  

        Let me add here that A LOT of prayers were being lifted up for Bubba (aka George)! Also, no matter how serious it was, we kept our faith in God and that no matter the outcome, God would ALWAYS be in control and provide for us. See???? Faith and Prayer are VERY IMPORTANT in our walk with God. 

      So, we traveled back to Jackson to St.Dominics, and after doctor visit and exam, surgery was scheduled for Dec 13. Yes, I was very upset , but not worried. 

      Bubba was all prepared and waiting to see surgeon. They were even getting him ready to take him to OR as Dr. Baldwin re-examined his wound. He said, "It's almost well!! I don't think surgery is necessary now!". Our pastor, Bro. Harvey Bates, was with us. The three of us looked at each other , like  AM I HEARING HIM RIGHT!  He then said he was going to go talk to our wound care doctor, Dr. James Stephens (Wound Care Center (KDMC) in Brookhaven, Ms. After about 10 minutes or so, he  came back in and told us, "No surgery! You can go home and Merry Christmas!!!"  Now, that is our wonderful early Christmas miracle!!!  Again and again, Thank You, God!!! 

     After seeing wound care doctor lastweek, there was still one little spot that needed more medicine, so we are still tending to that. He's been allowed to walk more but not overdo it. He has to go back next week so praying All will be gone and Bubba will be discharged from visits. He will then start back walking more daily. 

     I'm so thankful for our Christmas miracle!!! Thankyou, God!!!!!
