In the Lords Hands

You could say that this past Wednesday was a faith building day for our family as we were reminded that we are all watched over and comforted in times of trial. My brother, 14 year old Luke, was terribly sick. My parents thought that he had a bad flu and was suffering from the chills, but as he started to complain that his heart had been beating hard for more than 24 hours they went to the ER. He was monitored and immediately transferred to a more specialized zone where his heart had to be shocked back into rhythm. The doctors believe his heart was in heart attack mode for many hours, and amazed that he was alive. His heart had been pumping so fast that it was unable to preform normal function and had literally stopped producing blood, his skin was tight to his body as his body basically was shutting down. Later he related the experience from the night before telling my parents that he felt as if he were going to heaven. The doctors believe that he has a short circuit in his heart and he will be having an operation at Primary Children's Hospital this week. What a marvel modern day medicine is. We love you Luke and pray for your recovery.
