“I don’t understand it. The stint that I put in is nonviable. There is no blood going through it at all, but your leg is warm, there is no swelling, blood is flowing and your incisions are healing.” spoken by Tom’s surgeon this week.Then he went on to explain how over the months the little vessels have expanded and taken over the blood flow of the vein that has been removed. There are no main veins going to the lower leg and foot and still the circulation is improving.
Then the great statement from a doctor that is not a Christian. “Only God could have done that. He created your body to compensate for the loss.”
Sometimes we wonder why things happen and why it take so long to see results of prayer. It took months for those little vessels to expand. Ordinarily they would have burst like a balloon with too much air but instead they expanded. God is healing but on His timetable not ours. Waiting is always hard but God is in control.
Please pray for Tom that healing will complete. There is still several months of treatment and some plastic surgery in the future. Also, pray for this doctor and the plastic surgeon to be saved.
Psalms 27:14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
