Default 2012 Miracle

Early this Spring, my 12 year old grandaughter had a seisure while at outdoor camp. To make a long story short, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Surgery was scheduled for late Summer and the local emergency room doctor that originally saw her pulled some personal favors and she got into the best surgeon on the West Coast. Much anxiety, tears, frustrations and prayers were experience through the Summer and finally the surgery. The tumor was successfully and completely removed with no ill effects and 100% recovery was almost instantanious. A true testamony of God's grace. Well she drew a lottery tag for mule deer in Eastern Oregon and last week killed her first deer. That was a very exciting morning for her as the picture shows. That evening however, she said, "I'm not as excited now as I was this morning, but at least there is meat on the table!" I am one proud Grandpa!!

Thats what it all about right there.
My 3 grandkids are my entire world and can't
imagine what your family went through with that
ordeal. So glad she came out of it OK.
God works miracles.
