I left Vernon Sunday morning praying for his strength, because he was so exhausted from the weekend.
But when Glynnda, Jaime, and I went in to see Vernon after Sunday morning service, what we saw was amazing. There Vernon sat with food in front of him. He had not eaten in six days.
Talk about a miracle!
Talk about God's Grace being sufficient for us...
He had enough strength to visit with family and friends for four hours straight.
Did I say that it was Amazing?!
On Sunday the Doctor talked about getting Vernon's blood oxygen count up or they were considering a blood transfusion.
Well, we pleaded the blood of Jesus and his oxygen levels went up!
Jaime and I were planning on visiting Vernon Monday after work, but he told us over the phone that he was feeling great and don't bother with the trip. The greatest news was that he was getting released from the hospital on Tuesday afternoon!
Glynnda and I went and picked up Vernon this afternoon. He was so excited to get out of there.
His first request from me in the car was a big juicy cheeseburger:)
As soon as he got home, he just stood over the dinner table chairs looking out the window at the nature sanctuary he had created. The skies might have been overcast, but the sun was shining down on his life:)
I ran to Wal-Mart and picked up a few prescriptions and some new house slippers, because the ones used at the hospital were definitely contaminated:)
Besides a few calls and visits from friends, Vernon was able to rest and quickly adjust back into the comforts of "The Lodge".

Whopper,JR with cheese is my all-time favorite.
ReplyDeleteYou know how Danny can "lie", so it's not true about the onions! He knows he can't get any kisses with onion breath! So glad you are home.
Wish we could visit you. Get plenty of rest and good food. Maybe not any Cathy's Famous. That might be over-doing it. Love you and Glynnda, CS
Bro. McGarvey,
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to see that you are back home and to hear the great things God is doing! The song that comes to mind is "He Lives." Verses 1 and 2 just seem to fit your situation.
God is good--all the time!
Blessings--Joni Hunt Owens
We are praying for you and the entire family. God knows right where you are, and He is "able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think" (Ephesians 3:20).

I love it!! A big, fat cheeseburger would have been my first meal of choice as well!
