A Horrible Experience With A Wonderful Outcome

Above: This is my daugher a few weeks ago.

This is my daughter and I Thursday night after the surgery.

Dear friends and family,

This has been a life changing week for me. I am going to give a very brief account of something for which I am ready to write a book.

My daughter had appendicits last Wednesday. We went to the first hospital for all the tests and were sent to the bigger hospital. We arrived there with all the test results in hand as well as a cd of the scan confirming appendicitis. They said they would do surgery in the morning. I did not know how she could hold out until then but we had no choice.

At lunchtime the next day they still had not done surgery. I was crying and begging by this point for them to call the surgeon and ask him to get her in next. I had already spoken to the nursing staff several times requesting this.

He ordered double the pain medication and they gave it all to her in her iv at once before I could stop them as they gave it to her in the bathroom!!!!!

They overdosed her!!!! She stopped breathing and turned blue. I called the nurse in there. They coded her. Then they gave her injections to counteract the pain meds. I was on my knees in her room praying while they worked on her until they made me leave. Then I got on my knees and prayed in the hall. There are no words to describe how I felt.

Praise God He made her breathe again!! I am so grateful to the God of Israel for saving my baby. He is so awesome and mighty. He is merciful and compassionate and there is none like Him!

She is recuperating at home now. She was afraid to take anything after the surgery so she has just suffered through with no pain meds. I am glad she didn't take anything. God has made the pain from the incisions bearable. Praise Him!!!

I cannot find enough words to thank my God enough for giving me back my baby. Thank you Lord!!!!!!!!!!!
