Well, I just returned home from Michigan - by the way, still haven't met my new neice!!! I recieved a call this afternoon from my mom asking me to pray for Lizzie. Elizabeth (my sister), just before getting ready to leave the hospital, was rushed was going numb and from the waist down and wasn't able to move her legs. Needless to say, they were all a little concerned. The doctor's at the time had never heard of this but wanted to rule out the worst (blood clot, infection, nerve damage from epidural (sp?) ) etc.
Needless to say, I got on my knees in the hotel bathroom (the only quiet place) and said a prayer. I instantly had peace and knew that He would take care of her. I thanked Him in advance for her healing. I later recieved a call from my mom telling me that the numbness was getting worse. So I prayed again - trusting that the Lord was in control. I just felt helpless, especially being so far away.
Well, God is good, and good all the time. As I was sitting in the airport getting ready to board, I had a message from my mom. The nurses had come into her room to try to see how to make her comfortable and calm her down until the doctor arrived - well, they didn't need to! My mom and dad were in the hall just praying to the Lord for healing - knowing that God loved LIzzie more than anything and He is always one step ahead. As they entered the room, Lizzie mentioned to my dad that she felt like her leg was being massaged and was turning warm. It was God. She instantly sat up, able to move and with the numbness completely gone. Praise Jesus.
Now, I know that your body can go thru a heck of a lot during childbirth, but the neurologist had never seen anything like this. Hmm.
But thank God she is fine - is feeling a little heaviness in her limbs, but the doctor's said that her body is fighting "something" but they thought she would fully recover and sent her and Madalynn home today! Praise Jesus!!!
