  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The most heart wretching times in my life have been through my children.

I have five beautiful blessings, I dont beleive that one of my kids have not gone through something that hasen't brought me to my knees.

The hardest one of them all was when my 15 month old, got sick and they gave him steriods, abuterol, for the respetory infection that he had. I have to tell you the horrible feeling that I got when we started giving it to him. I would cover my mouth when we gave it to him. I don't know why I felt that way about it it was just strange. My husband said there is nothing wrong with this stuff. We continued to treat my son with this medication that my husband had to live on for a long time when he was young.

It was a couple of days later and I started to see something happen to my son. My baby boy would walk and then colapse to the floor. I knew something was wrong. I brought him to the ER and they checked him and immedeatly put him in room 1. The doctors started flooding the room. At that time I was pregnate with my youngest about 8 months. They put a heart monitor on him and the allarms started to go off. I looked at the faces of the doctors of just shear ergency and fear and I am just sitting there saying what is going on. They began running test after test. I called my husband at work and told him they want to send him to the childrens hospital they can't help him here. His heart rate was 360. And they couldnt figure out what was causing the AFib-he was in tachnicardia.

The pain of trying to hold the tears back to keep a steady face for my baby was so hard. Everytime I talk about this I still have to fight the tears. My husband came in and his face just made me loose it.

The conversations that the doctors were having, they were talking about using the medivac to air lift him to the PICU at the childrens hospital... All I could pray was this.. God you are holding my sons heart in your hands. You are holding his heart, you hold his heart. They transferd him by Ambulance to the hosptial, my husband went with him and I went home to be with my other kids. I went up the next day after a night of no sleep to here this. His heart is going to fall apart if they can't stop the tachicardia. My prayer had not changed, God you are the healer you are holding his heart in your hands.

After a couple of days in the ICU the doctors still haden't been able to reduce his heart rate and they were saying this to us again. The heart will fall apart if we cant get this to stop. They recomended this, defibrilate his heart, that means they use those paddles like you see in the movies to try and make the heart beat go back to a normal function. We had to sign release papers to allow them to shock my sons heart back into a normal rythem. We signed and we watched my son be defibrilated. It didnt work, the doctors were at a loss they left the room and I continued to pray, Lord you hold my sons heart in your hands. After that I called my family to come in and lay hands on him and pray together. We prayed for him that 4th night in ICU and we went home. I cant tell you in words the pain of this experience. It was about 1:00am and the phone rang, It was my husband. He says I noticed something, I asked him what he noticed. He said every time they, the nurses, came in that day after we had left, after praying for Caleb, that every time they were giving him the inhelation medication that his heart rate would sky rocket again. He said I think that we should tell them to stop that medication, I agreed with him and he spoke to the doctor the next day, they disagreed with us but they said it was our call, the next night he was watched very carefully my husband stayed up all night after they stoped giving him the medication. There was almost an instant change, by the morning his heart was back to his normal rythem. He came home that next afternoon and they were still astonished by his quick recovery.

I know that the Lord healed him and that when the Lord heals he heals completely.... THE LORD HELD MY SONS HEART IN HIS HANDS!!!
