MIRACLE AFTER MIRACLE
Two months ago my daughter-in- Jenny, my 16 year old granddaughter Katie, and my 12 year old grandson Dustin were in a car wreck. They were hit head on by a drunk driver in a Ford F150 pick-up. They were in a small car, a Chevrolet cobalt, they were all wearing seat belts.
The man in the pick-up died instantly.
Jenny had her pelvis bone broken, also a broken hand, she has just about recovered. Katie had both her arms broken pretty bad. She is doing well and wearing soft cast now and is back in school.
My grandson Dustin was hurt the worse. He was in the back seat and he was wearing a seat belt which really tore him up. Dustin is twelve years old, a very quite, meek, sweet little boy. He is a very bright young man.
The seat belt is what tore him up so bad. Im not trying to be horrifying here, I just want everyone to know how bad he was hurt and were our wonderful Lord brought him form. His colon was torn into, his intestines were torn apart, etc.
It was so bad they had to open him up and leave him open for several days before they could work on him. His neck was torn up so bad, that the spinal surgeon told us it was if his neck had been decapitated from the inside out. All the nerves and tendons in his neck torn loose and stretched.
That there was bleeding on his brain. One doctor said he was pretty sure that his pancreas would have to be removed.
In other words, Dustin should have died from all the bad injuries his body had received.
Also his jaw was broken into in two places. ( the doctor took the plates out holding his jaws together a little over a week ago. Its amazing with his jaw broken so bad he did not lose one tooth.)
The wreck happened about 7:00 P.M. on a Wednesday night. By the time my wife and I got to the hospital and they had opened Dustin up and left him open, it was very late at night. After they had opened him up and cleaned him up the best they could, they started letting the family go in one at a time to see Dustin. As I went into the ER room he was in, I looked around at the doctors and the hospital staff who had been working on him. As I looked at their faces, I knew without doubt, they were saying without speaking, its time to say goodbye to him.
I walked up beside his bed and fell to my knees, I put one hand on Dustins leg and raised my other hand toward heaven, and prayed. I said my Father , please dont take him from us, please my Lord Jesus heal him, we need a miracle, and you Sir, are the miracle worker. ( I will say right here, I was not the only one praying, there were many praying that night in the hospital and all over the United States, as God got the news out to many prayer warriors, it is truly amazing how fast our Lord can work to get people to praying. There were churches in California, North Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, praying for Dustin. There are more, but these are the ones I have heard of. I know this was caused by the devil using a drunk driver, but out of this tragedy came an out pouring of Gods agape love that touched many, many lives. So the devil lost this round. Praise the holy name of Jesus Christ our Lord, glory be to God our mighty Father.)
The next day the spinal surgeon put Dustins neck back together and put a steel plate in the back of his neck to hold everything together. This surgery took about 14 hours.
The doctor had no idea what would happen, would Dustin be a vegetable, would he live in a state of not knowing anything for the rest of his life? The doctor didnt really give us much hope when he talked to us before the surgery.
After the neck surgery and when Dustin came out from under all the medication they used to put him to sleep, plus all the pain killers they had given him, and he was about half a wake, the spinal doctor asked him. (I was there when the doctor asked him.)
Dustin can you hear me? O, praise our holy Lord Jesus Christ, Dustin gave a thumbs up. The doctor who asked the question could not speak for several minutes, I hope he knew he was looking at a miracle.
( Dustins mind is perfect, its like it never happened.)
Glory, glory, glory, what a mighty God we serve! This was the first miracle!
Then the doctors talked to us about putting Dustins insides back together. The doctor said, since he was torn apart so bad inside, infection may have set in and he would have to remove much of the ends torn apart and it may not go back together. Also he said that his stomach was so swollen, even if he got the insides back together, he probably wouldnt be able to close the stomach back up. I mean all these surgeries took hours and hours to perform. All we could do was set and pray, and wait.
Then finally a doctors assistant came out, she said, everything inside was perfect, no infection, and everything fit back together perfect, and they were able to close Dustins stomach! Also his pancreas was perfect and they didnt have to remove it.
Glory, glory, glory, Praise His holy, holy, holy name. What a mighty God we serve! Miracle number two.
Now remember I said early Dustin is a very bright and smart young man. Every time the doctors were going to perform any kind of surgery after the first two surgeries, and they would ask are there any questions? They the doctors were amazed at the questions Dustin asked. I mean, he asked exactly what they were going to do, what was involved, how long the surgery would take, etc. How long would it take for him to recover, etc, etc.
After these two surgerys his bowels and his urinary track wouldnt work. He had to use a catheter several times a day to go to the bathroom. The doctors said he would have to do this the rest of his life. Our wonderful Lord had other plans.
I guess some of the doctors and nurses may have thought I was some kind of religious nut. Many times our Lord would speak to my heart, get your bottle of oil out anoint Dustin and say the prayer of faith over him. ( James 5:14,15)
So matter what doctors or hospital staff was present, I would do it out loud. I believe our Lord had me to do this as many of these people were not believers and our Lord wanted to show them his mighty miracle working powers. They could not deny that miracles happened.
Dustin lay in the bed for all those weeks with a IV in him, tubes down his throat, a collar around his neck, being poked, not able to move and he never complained, I thought to myself how many adults could do that? Its amazing what someone can endure when our Lord is holding their hand.
Last Wednesday made six weeks he had been in the hospital. Well guess what? The first part of last week his urinary track starting working, and he can also tell when he is going to have a bowel movement. Glory, glory, glory, Praise our wonderful Lord Jesus Christ! O, what a mighty God we serve. Miracle number three!
His legs are still not moving, the doctors said his legs not moving and his urinary problem and his bowels not working were all tied together. So there is no doubt in my mine that his legs will start moving and he will walk again. He has mostly laid in a bed for six weeks, so his body needs to be worked and all his muscles need to be rebuilt. The other day I was in his room when the lady was working with Dustins legs, she said all the muscles in Dustins hips and leg were tight from him laying in bed for so long.
This past week, Dustin was transferred from the hospital in Temple Texas to a rehab center for young people in Dallas Texas. The hospital were he was at was mostly for older people doing rehab. My son Dustins Dad drove to Dallas and checked the rehab center out, he said it was really nice and all they do is rehab on children, no one over eighteen years old. So I know Dustin will feel better being around kids his own age.
I know when all the muscles are worked with and loosened up and by the power of our miracle working Lord, Dustin will walk again!
Dustin has come so far so fast so that they have had a teacher coming five days a week teaching him his school work so he wouldnt get behind. This has been going on for about three weeks.
Dustin and I have had a lot of time to talk. One day he reached under his pillow and pulled out a little Bible. He said, PaPa I keep this little Bible under my pillow all the time, and then he said PaPa I pray every night. One thing I wasnt sure of if he had every given his heart and life to our Lord Jesus. So we talked about that, I explained the plan of salvation to him, and we said the sinners prayer together. After we got through I looked at him and his little eyes were shining so bright. I could see our Lord all over him and in him.
He truly is a miracle child. I believe with all my heart our Lord has His hand upon Dustin and our Lord has plans for him down the road.
This I know, my son Shane, my daughter-in-law, Jenny, my granddaughter Katie, and Dustin hold no hate in their hearts toward the drunk driver who hit them, and none of them blame God for what happened to them. To me this is Gods agape love at work in their hearts.
I also know that all the doctors, nurses and the whole staff that had anything to do with Dustin at the hospital are so amazed, almost like some are in shock, at Dustins fast recovery, even that he is still alive. All except for one doctor who was involved in treating Dustin, he is the one who gave Dustin the little Bible. This doctor is in a group of Gideons. He told Dustin when he gave him the Bible that he had gotten 19 Gideons together right after Dustin came to the hospital and they prayed for hours for Dustin.
Do miracles still happen? Of course they do, my grandson Dustin is living prove they do. Our Lord Jesus brought Dustin back from deaths door and he will have a full recovery.
Is our Lord Jesus Christ still in the healing business? Of course He is, my grandson Dustin is living proof that He is.
I cannot thank our Lord Jesus enough, I cannot praise Him enough for His mighty love, and miracle working power. I cannot thank God our Father enough, I cannot glorify Him enough for his agape love and mighty grace. The days of miracles are not over, God the Father is still on the Throne and the Lord Jesus Christ is still by His right hand, and still healing.
God bless you all,
