My Thoughts:
Jeremiah 10:6
No one is like you, O Lord; you are great, and your name is mighty in power.
So...most of you know that this last week was pretty intense for my family. I received the call Friday evening from my parents telling me that my mom had been having chest pains, had been to a cardiologist, and that she would have a heart catheterization (with stints or bypass) on Monday. My entire family rushed to Missouri to be with my mom and dad. My mom was having all the symptoms of a heart attack on Sunday and was taking nitroglycerin. On Monday, the doctor told us that my mom had some anomalies (defects) and 2 clogged and calcified coronary arteries. He told us that he was pretty sure that she was going to have a triple bypass. We rallied, prayed, and hoped for the best.
An hour passed and the doctor came out with a perplexed expression on his face. He said, "She's fine. Actually she is better than fine. Her arteries have zero plague and no calcification. Being 65, she should have some but she doesn't. Not only is she plague free, but the abnormalities on the CAT scan just aren't there anymore. I cannot explain it, and I called 3 other doctors in to look...God must have performed a miracle."
My mom went home that evening and has had no chest pain or any symptoms. My mom says that all her symptoms went away shortly before they wheeled her into the procedure room and that it was fascinating to watch the doctors freaking out because they didn't see what they thought they would. They even checked to make sure they had the right CAT scan.
