In a time when there is so much difficulty, miracles still happen. My sister-in-law/one of my best friends as well, recently had this experience.
She has a brother who struggles with an addiction to drugs. Recently he had an accidental overdose. His mom found him in his room where he was not breathing, had no pulse, his heart had stopped. They were able to get medical attention quickly and revive him. He was put on a ventilator with the prospect of him not being able to ever breath on his own and a worry of severe brain damage. Lisa's family met together and prepared for the worst, but still hoped for the best. The doctor had told them he had only seen one case like this where the patient lived. A few days later, things began to change. He has gradually begun to be somewhat coherent, smile, move, talk. His brain damage appears to be minimal. He is making great progress every day. This change was very opposite of what was predicted and it is amazing. It is proof to us, that Heavenly Father still blesses us with miracles every day and I believe that more miracles will come from this as well. In a world where there is so much hopelessness at times, there is still hope!!!
