"...the Lord God prepareth the way that the residue of men may have faith in Christ , that the Holy Ghost may have place in their hearts, according to the power there of; and after this manner bringeth to pass the Father, the covenants which he hath made unto the children of men (to US).
For Christ hath said; If ye will have faith in Christ ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me."
The sweet distilling of tender miracles have blessed our current mortal adventure. These sweet miracles have taken many forms and have been bestowed through incredibly unexpected yet perfectly orchestrated means. Throughout the night last night the Lord bestowed upon Ronald the 'power to do whatsoever was expedient'...that miracle of power today was that of allowing the ability to finally start extract more fluid from his body than was being pumped into his body..... THREE LITERS so far!!
This may not sound like such a great miracle but it truly is....just by that fluid being extracted so far it has allowed is heart much less pressure around it so it is pumping strongly which made it possible to pull back on many strong blood and heart medicines that had been also increasing all that fluid buildup and allow the ability to finally extract greater amounts of fluid pressure which is absolutely necessary for his kidneys, liver and bowels to be revived! With just the 3 liters his heart is pumping so wonderfully and his blood pressure so much better, he has received some respiration in his kidneys and they have finally detected some bowel sounds (which at this point are some of the most beautiful and sweet sounds ....just amazing what one can take for granted , and bowel sounds are one thing I most certainly have). Ronald is still currently in what is now referred to as mostly a self induced sedation, meaning between the sedatives given to him within the past few days (that have not been completely metabolized due to inefficient liver and kidneys) along with the fact that once his heart finally was relieved of so much fluid pressure he is now more able to "relax" much more than ever in the past 5 days, he is most likely allowing himself an extremely deserved deep sleep while trying to recover.
He looks good, his body has responded more positively and more rapidly in the last 24 hours that ever since tuesday morning!!! All involved medical personnel are thrilled and uplifted by these "expedient"/miraculous new development... even saying word like "very optimistic" and "hopeful"...and we all know that both words are wonderful ingredients that will continue to ignite all of our faith-the kind of faith that produces that promise of power to do whatsoever thing is expedient.... what is next to be expedient , we do not know, we would absolutely love it to be that Ronald's liver and kidneys "refresh and respond" faster than medically expected, but whatever is to come, we are sure the Lord is captaining ever single whit of what has, what is, and what is yet to become!!
