G’s better

Meg got back from the doctor today with some awesome news. Gardner’s better. They went to have more x-rays to figure out where the bolt was.

And it’s nowhere to be found.

Read that again, nowhere to be found.

Now allow me to expound on this. On Sunday night, my son swallowed a metal bolt. I saw the original x-rays. It was right there in his stomach. We’d agreed with the doctors to wait for it to pass through his system. The plan was to check the “output” for a few days to verify it passed through.

We’ve been praying for healing. Last night, Jake and my brother came over to lay hands on Gardner and pray as a group. I specifically prayed for a miracle, that his healing would be unexplainable and point to God and nothing else. We got just that.

The bolt is gone. I’m sure the doctors are convinced that it passed through Gardner’s system and we just missed it. Let’s think this through. Do any of you know my wife? She’s the most thorough person I know, especially when it comes to the health of our little boy. We went through every diaper. (and he’s not doing #2 on the potty himself yet). We never saw it, and we were looking hard. I can only explain it one way, from Gardner’s own words, “Jesus made me better.”

Praise God, and he gets the glory. Thank you for healing my child, and providing no doubt you are in control. Thanks everybody for your prayers, they were surely heard.
