You told Wayne's story beautifully, Rhonda. I wonder what it was after the CT scan that him come to life, you might say. Something in his brain must have clicked, and he reacted. Then your son took a good punch from his father. He must have been shocked. I love how you describe his screaming and thrashing being beautiful. I agree about it being a miracle. A very good concluding verse about the power of prayer and friendship. I am glad the poems were also meaningful to you. I am glad to hear he is coming home. It is great news!!

It must have been upsetting to see your husband so frantic and panicked like this Rhonda, but as you say, it showed he had feelings in his limbs and that he had the fight in him to live. I am so happy that he has been able to fight back to near normal health Rhonda, your faith and hope pulled through here and I am so happy to hear your uplifting news, love Dolly x x x

Oh Rhonda, I'm so very, very happy for you both and your son, I'm sure he didn't mind being punched in the ribs! LOL. I can just see you laughing and crying at the same time, and it didn't register with me that it was because he was physically, emotionally fighting back with a vengeance! It truly was a miracle! God was there and answered all the prayers that must have been coming head on!! I'm really happy for you, my dear friend. Love you lots. Sandra xx

Hi Sandra,
Thank you for the six stars and for the lovely review.
I guarantee you Mike didn't care that his dad punched him. All he kept telling him was he was sorry he dropped him when he pulled him out of the tractor. Though, on all accounts, it was more Wayne fell on his and knocked them both to the ground.
Yes, the laughing and crying bordered on hysteria, but it felt so good to see and hear him fighting that it was hard to get mad at the situation. Still, in ICU, they take exception to having their expensive machinery poorly treated. That and it took a while to get another IV in him as he messed up both they had in him and his veins in the process.
All things said and done, he's glad to be home and is resting very well right now. I need to be meaner and wake him up to make him take his meds.
Big hugs,
Rhonda

Yay, yay, yay, AMEN! I never tire of telling you how thankful I am that Wayne will be ok, but I seriously am crying right now from hearing your story again.
God bless you both and dont think my prayers are stopping any too soon for him or for you or my sweet little Kylie. Prayers do help in numbers and Im thankful you had so many. Take care sweetie! Love Debi

Hi sweet Debi,
You are so precious. Not only did you bless me with six stars, but a warm comment as well.
I feel your tears and prayers, my friend. I will tell you I'm praying for you as well. Somehow, in the midst of your own difficulties, you find a way to lift up other people. I know, now, just how much God cares and how he hears our prayers.
Much love,
Rhonda

Oh Rhonda! Praise the Lord for answering our prayers for Wayne! But what a way to literally "fight back"! I think when anything tampers with the brain, the patient comes out with balled fists. My dad did the same when he had a subdural hematoma. Thank you for giving us this well written update! Please get enough sleep!

Hi Helen,
Dear friend, thank you so much for the six stars, and for the hours of prayers I know you've sent up personally and as a part of a group of believers. They were felt and they were heard by the One who could step in with a miracle. Never have I watched a miracle of this degree unfold before my eyes. What a testimony he will have!!
Thanks for sharing about your father and how he came out fighting as well. It may be a head/brain thing, but it has its own level of beauty to see what fight looks like.
Hugs,
Rhonda
