Today is one month from the day that my daughter was in a very bad car accident, rolling over several times in her Nissan Altima. She had gotten a promotion and raise, transferred to Lubbock with the retail store she was working in. She'd only been there a month 1/2. She'd broken her cell phone the day before and called me and told me she was coming, for me not to tell anybody as she wanted to surprise everybody. She called her one sister, Jackie, in the morning 7:30 am MST, 8:30 am her time and said she was heading out. I prayed for her all day as I knew she'd be traveling alone. I asked her to please make sure she took the time to stop and rest and not to try to make the whole trip without resting. At 12:00 pm our time, Jackie, called me and told me she was really worried for her sister and I tried to remain calm and told her, it's lunch time, maybe she stopped to get a bite to eat. Just Pray, Jackie and don't worry. I kept praying and asking God to Keep His Hand upon her and bring her home safely. Little did we know that at that very moment, Melinda had fallen asleep at the wheel and rolled over several times in her car.
We got a phone call at 4:00 pm from the doctor at the hospital in Santa Rosa. They'd called my daughter, Jackie who called me on my cell as the doctor would not give her any info till he got me on the line. I heard him say that my daughter, Melinda had been in a very bad roll over and he feared she might be bleeding internally in her brain and that he was going to have her flown to UNM Hospital and that my daughter should be at UNM Hospital in 45 minutes. I called my husband who was already in Albuquerque to get over to the hospital. All 3 of my daughters headed over to the hospital in their cars and my son drove with me in my car. I called my Pastor and as many friends as I could in 3 minutes to start praying for my daughter. When we got to the hospital, we could not locate my daughter. They ER told me that they didn't have my daughter and finally a nurse told us to go to ICU Trauma on 2nd floor. When we got up there, the docs said they were evaluating Melinda and that she was in a coma but that she was not bleeding internally and that it would just be a matter of time. That was Wednesday, by Monday, she had woken up and by Sunday, she was walking. The doctors were amazed! All I can say is, 'God is Faithful and soo Good!'
It has been quite an experience and as I have seen the miraculous healing of my daughter, I am in awe of God's Mercy & Lovingkindness!
I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from Me, There is no savior. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed— I, and not some foreign god among you. You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God.” Isaiah 43:11-12
