The Cat-Lady....

The 'gift' of Life....

A family Christmas Miracle has happened.....our sister, Shyrl, was in ICU and on respirators and body function machines....Shyrl has been very ill and has had near death experiences for years now....This time by all medical facts....she was in a coma and her body was not functioning except with the aid of 'machines'....In the last week she had been taken off the machines a couple of times but could not breathe on her own and was reconnected.

Shyrl's daughter, Susie, was told to make some decision about 'pulling the plug' by Thursday of this week....as it seemed that even her brain was not working...Prayers, prayers and more prayers were prayed by all family members, their churches, etc...

Lo and behold, on Wed. afternoon the nurse called and said that 'she was showing some fighting back signs'.....within 4 hours, Shyrl awoke, spoke to nurses, then her daughter. The machines were removed, she started breathing on her own, became very alert and asked for...'mashed potatoes'....The ICU nurses named her 'Cat-Lady' but said she had more than 'nine lives'.....

A Miracle happened in that room.....the medical facts were correct at the time...BUT FOR GOD.....who even has authority over.....death!

Merry Christmas, Shyrl!
