BEHOLD THE GOD of MIRACLES

 Mormon 9:11
"Behold, I will show unto you a God of miracles, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob; and it is that same God who created the heavens and the earth, and all things that are in them"....... and certainly the God of Ronald Brent Simmons!

This scripture has been so engraven upon my heart so permanently these past weeks and once again throughout this entirely glorious day!!! As of this afternoon, Ronald became so much more alert and aware that he was able to get extubated (have his intubation tube taken out!) and then.......
.....much to our delight he very soon after started TALKING! The medical staff around here are so stunned and delighted!!! He is very weak but able to tell us what his name is, where he is, who is in his family and even the MONTH... along with many other things as me and the kids began asking him a multitude of questions because we were all so happy and we felt like we haven't talked to him in months! Although he is very tired and not real strong yet,  he loves to keep winking at me and smiles at me soooo much! He is breathing pretty well all on his own but he has a oxygen mask to feed humidity into him to moisturize his throat to help ease any discomfort and dryness due to the tube having been down his airway for the past few weeks! Tonight he is so warn out from our extraordinarily exciting day and just wants to sleep! Ronald still has the rest of the mountain to climb before we can begin the down hill run, but we know that medically already we have witnessed a grand miracle even up to this point of survival and healing.  I knew he had already beaten some pretty steep odds this afternoon when the doctor said.... "we are needing to look more closely into what the plan should be made for him now because patients that have faced what you're husband has haven't usually made it this far and so we're not used to that and need to access help as to the treatment plan that should follow and what is to be expected now"... so they are consulting other hospitals and doctors in different areas for their expertise! 

So there is no doubt in my family that we truly HAVE been shown a God of Miracles...the same God who created the heavens and the earth and all things that are in them (including Ronald's strong and steady body) most certainly can and has touched our circumstances as well as our hearts and the results of such is absolutely stunning marvelous work and even a wonder that has been worked amongst the children of men! 

So honored to be so intimately a part of this sacred experience in which the powers of heaven and earth mercifully were able to merge and not only bless us so personally but also stand as a witness and testiment of the glorious power of God enabling him to create such order and even peace from such extraordinary disorder and chaos!

Oh, how I love this extraordinary righteous warrior husband of mine, and oh, how I love God, our Eternal Father and His son Jesus Christ! So richly and powerfully blessed we feel!! Thank you is so shallow for expressing what gratitude we have for each of you who have and continue to faithfully call upon those powers of heaven and earth to watch over and protect Ronald and our family is such wondrous and superior ways! We love you!

-HAPPY BACK TO SCHOOL DAY to all our youth!!! Our thoughts and prayers are with all of our children that are back into school shining their light so brightly among the world as well as all parents that are having to send them back again with somewhat heavy hearts as we love having them close to us so much and miss being apart from them more during this season of the year!! We wish all a wonderful new school year!!
