Miracles

I am a firm believer in miracles - although beliefs waver when you are in desperate need. It's quite easy to believe in miracles when you aren't fervently praying for one. That being said, an interesting turn of events has bestowed itself on us. Bill was on the treatment medication for 8 days; he has been off of it for 2 1/2 days. Today he seemed better than even before he started taking the pills. He had increased energy, went to the eye doctor, and hung out with friends who came over to bring us dinner. Over the past 6 weeks he has had serious issues with his stomach being extended because of the fluid. He has even been itchy because of his skin stretching. I noticed, and he commented, that his stomach is smaller and he is much more comfortable. Am I imagining things?? Could it be possible that the medication started to work and is giving him this reprieve? He claims it is because of the 9 pound weight loss, but I can't help but think the pills had something to do with it. Stay positive and keep the prayers coming!!
