NOVEMBER 2012 NEWSLETTER

Hello Everyone,

November is upon us, which means the end of 2012 is near. November brings our season of Thanksgiving; a time to reflect and give thanks for all things. All things? What does that mean to you? I know as I reflect on that statement, it means quite a bit, especially because it has been a pretty trying year with lots of ups and downs for many of us. But the important point to focus on in this writing is how we were able to get through the difficulties we've had to face.

Some of us are blessed enough to have strong family ties that help us through these difficult times...some of us don't. Some of us have to find a way to make it through on our own when things are piling up and there seems no where to turn. You can think about your own personal situation of how you'd react in the midst of such a dilemma. I am going to share mine and just a few things I am thankful for.

 

Briefly, some of you know that my mom had a severe stroke this past June. It affected 2/3 of the left side of her brain. It came without warning and was devastating. Along with the stroke, she went into heart failure. The neurologists told us it was highly unlikely she would regain any part of her right side (head to toe), including her speech due to the severity of the damage.
 

I immediately called out to God as I recalled what was conveyed to me through the powerful healing ministry of Fr. Paco, that Our Lord is Lord, God, Almighty and is not bound by the laws of nature! This was our hope, our belief and soon enough our miracle!

 I looked at my mom, who could barely mumble and I said to the neurology team, "Well, we believe in miracles, right mom?" My mom mumbled back..."We believe!" We knew that we had to entrust this whole situation to God and believe that He would be with us, guiding us all the way through. He is our hope. There were many signs of His presence all the way through the difficulties. For example, the nurses assigned to her at rehab had the reassuring names of Hope and Grace. When she had a relapse and ended up back in the hospital her nurse's name was Patience and the aide's name Merci. I know at this point you are all probably saying..."really?". Yes, really! But it does not end there. Once we were back to rehab, her nurses names ranged again from Faith to Fatima and even a kind senior aide name Moses.

Oh yes, God was with us. The challenges continued but day by day with the prayers of our loved ones, the masses held for her healing and all the intercessory prayer, she continued making incredible progress! Her doctor at Rehab, Dr. S was so caring and attentive. She calls my mom her miracle patient and encouraged me to share this awesome recovery. The Heart Failure Team was fantastic and her Cardiologist, Dr. A. helped save her life by going one step beyond the call of duty.

I am happy to report at this writing, that my mom walks with only minor dependence on a cane, has regained her full speech and is regaining the full use of her right hand! She has come a long way, works hard in her therapy and is determined to keep a positive attitude through it all and gives thanks to God daily. Praise God is right!

For all of these people, all of the prayers, all those who stepped up to help in some way in the giving of yourself - we thank you. And, most of all we thank and praise God for His healing grace, His miraculous ways of working through people and His constant presence, even when no one else is there, we know that we are never alone. God is my strength, my rock and my hope! Happy Thanksgiving!

 I hope you enjoy this newsletter and join us for one of our upcoming events where we share in faith, hope and love of each other.
