Miracles

I have always believed in miracles but I dont think I had ever truly experienced one! On Tuesday Aarons grandpa went into open heart surgery, he needed 5 bypass and then he needed to have one of his valves replaced with a pig valve....everyone felt good about the surgery. 8 hours later when the surgery was finally finished his heart would not beat on its own, fortunately with the technology that we have they were able to hook him up to a pump and let his heart rest. After 5 days of his heart resting and them taking him off all sedation and pain medicine he still was not awake and it became clear that he was gone and we needed to let him go. Aarons family planned to take his grandpa off all machines on Sunday and let him go so I went and spent the night so that I could be there. Sunday came and we got up and prepared for the experience. Aarons parents left a little earlier then we did and as we got to the hospital and walked in the room Aarons mom, Karen told us that his grandpa was awake...honestly I thought she was imaging it and Aaron and his brother went and stood by his grandpa and his grandpas eyes moved which was more then we had previously experienced but still didnt seem like a lot. We hung out in the room for a while and waited for the doctor, while we were waiting his bishop came and his uncle David and his bishop asked him if they could give him a blessing...and far from what I was expecting he actually answered by nodding his head!! I was instantly brought to tears. His doctor eventually came in and was as shocked as we were that after 5 days of no response or movement he was responding! It was obviously not due to anything medically and was simply a miracle . He has continued to do well but today had to be taken into surgery due to the right side of his heart bleeding but they were able to close it up. This is only one step in a 1000 but its certainly better then the other plans we were going to be making.
