On Thursday this week we received a call from Kathy's family that her aunt was in ICU at a hospital here in NE Georgia. She has had MS for 13-14 years and had not been doing real good for the past few months. As they were transporting her from one hospital to another in an ambulance she quit breathing. They had to resuscitate her. Over the next 3-4 days things were touch and go. She had to be resuscitated twice more. First they thought it may be a stroke then ruled that out. Then they thought it was MS related, then ruled that out. Basically they couldn't figure out what it was. Then early Sunday morning we got a call that things didn't look good and they didn't expect her to make it through the day. We immdiately went there for the day. As the day went on she progressively got better and the decision was made to take the ventilator off. She continued to get a little better. Then we got a call Monday morning that her lungs were filling up with "gunk" and they expected her to go to sleep and not wake up. Tuesday morning we received a call that she was doing great. She has pneumonia that they are working to clear up but other than that, the only thing going on right now is the MS that she already had. She even took her medicine by mouth instead of by IV. She was to be moved from ICU to Intermediate Care on Tuesday but the doctors decided to skip intermediate care all together and get her in a regular room. I do believe God still works miracles and I do believe I just witnessed one.
