Thanks for your prayers...

Thank you so much for those of you who prayed for my dad! He got out of the hospital yesterday. All of the heart tests they ran came out perfectly clear and the doctor determined that he passed out from his blood pressure getting too low, because he was over-medicated.

God healed him from his high blood pressure not long ago, but none of his blood pressure medicine had been officially changed. He was altering his medicine some on his own and his blood pressure was fluctuating and it just bottomed out on him last Sunday during church.

He actually stopped breathing and lost pulse for a couple of minutes...so that is another miracle. The people around him were praying over him and somebody was about to start CPR, when he started breathing again (THANK YOU LORD)!!! Our cousin who goes to their church is a safety guy and "happened" to have oxygen in his car...so he ran out to get it and put it on Dad until the ambulance arrived.

The ambulance took him to Houston. The ER doctor assumed it was heart related and they ran multiple tests on his heart/arteries and all came back fine. His heart doctor finally determined that he has a syndrome that makes you pass out for different reasons...one of those being low blood pressure, in his case from too much medicine that he didn't need anymore (thank you Jesus, again!!!)

We are SO THANKFUL for all of God's miracles: for healing Dad of his high blood pressure, for keeping him here with us and that his heart is all good! I truly believe that God restarted his body and he is starting with a clean slate.

God still has important work for Dad and Mom to do to further His kingdom! Thank you JESUS that by Your stripes Daddy was healed!!!
