We have heard some so many "She will never...", but are keeping up our faith that these are just men that don't always consult with the plan of the master healer. I have witnessed a pure miracle tonight. We asked them to try to wean my mom off her ventilator. We were told it would not happen, her injury is too high. I asked them to try and the techs were very nice about coming in and trying it. They prepared us, told us nothing usually happens for the first several tries. The plan was to give her 60 seconds to just see if she would do anything. They would give her pressure so there was something there for her to pull into her lungs, if she could. Tears filled my eyes and the tech got goosebumps as my mom immediately took her first breath on her own in almost three months. She continued to breath for almost thirteen minutes with just that little bit of pressure; breathes she took on her own. Miraculous is the word I would use to describe this event. Being able to get off the ventilator means my mom can live such a better life. She will be able to enjoy more and do more. She will not have the constant threat of pneumonia and several other life threatening conditions associated with being ventilator dependant. I count my many blessings, naming them one by one...She will continue to leap over those hurdles, no matter how large they are, with the prayers and support of those in her life.
