"It's beautiful. It was a miracle!" Dr. Chen

The procedure is over and it was a miracle!!!!!!!

Dr. Chen came immediately out into the waiting room and told us:

"It was beautiful. It was a miracle."

Praise the Lord with us!! We are witnessing a miracle!! The coils worked!!

IS THIS NOT THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE?!?!

Dr. Chen loved the way David's blood was flowing and he said it was the best scenario. He said he thinks David may be "complete"...we don't know what that means for right side, but it sure sounds encouraging.

I hope to tell you more about how amazing this moment was, but for now join us in praising the Lord for the mighty work He has done here at Memorial Hermann Hospital today with the hands of Dr. Chen and in the brain of our David.

Happy Birthday, Big Dave...

Oh Come All Ye Faithful
Joyful and triumphant,
Oh come ye, Oh come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels
Oh come, let us adore Him,
Oh come, let us adore Him,
Oh come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

Oh Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing all that hear in heaven God's holy word.
Give to our Father glory in the Highest;
Oh come, let us adore Him,
Oh come, let us adore Him,
Oh come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

All Hail Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning,
Oh Jesus for evermore be Thy name adored.
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing;
Oh come, let us adore Him,
Oh come, let us adore Him,
Oh come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

P.S. IT IS SNOWING IN HOUSTON!! Just got this photo from the Brown's...pretty awesome. David prayed for two things last night. 1) a miracle. 2) snow. Are you kidding me?!?!

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

HOW GREAT YOU ARE!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

AMEN!

Matt and I have been on our knees in prayer for all of you today. How wonderful for David to have been created and loved by such an amazing Heavenly Father and family! Wishing I was there to care for David today, but knowing he's in the best of hands, and that the "Lord is near" always.

Much fondness,

We've been praying all day. We just ate dinner with Cunninghams and are rejoicing with you and everyone else. How wonderful to see God strengthening the faith of so many through this experience. It has and will be a joy to join with you through prayer in this journey. It didn't snow in Lake City today....but it did in Houston. Wonderful!!!

After all my traveling to Africa, this is the first time for me to check the blog. Tears are in my eyes as I read the last bit, Davids prayer requests. I was telling some of the other staff that is here too "I just left Houston and it was snowing. Do you know how crazy that is. It never snows!"

Pud I'm praying for you and I can't wait for more updates!
