Jeffreys progress seems proof that prayers are part of the cure!
In our large family, one of my brother’s daughters was born with her stomach outside the body, and since the umbilical cord had wrapped around it and rendered it useless, she had her entire intestines with the exception of an inch or so removed at birth. For two years she hovered near death, and of all the children she was in with over the years, only she and one other child survived. During that time, my grandmother organized our family to “storm heaven” with prayers for Grace, and she is now 17 years old and still a survivor. Like Jeffrey, she will never be whole, but the quality of her life, measured in the love of others, more than compensates for what was lost.
God Bless him until he is well again.
