and for His wonderful works to the children of men!"
~ Psalm 107:8 ~
What great things the LORD has done!
Please join with us in rejoicing
Today we had our follow-up appointment
at Children's Hospital in Cardiology.
Austin was there for another Echo and an ECG.
After those tests were done,
we were seen by the Cardiologist.
He gave us the results of the
MRI that was done last month.
We expected damage to be shown.
It was assumed that it would be there.
Medically speaking, it should be there.
But it isn't.
Austin has Dilated Cardiomyopathy.
His heart is still functioning in
reduced capacity due to this condition.
He is on three heart medications.
The Cardiologist said today
that Austin will ALWAYS need heart meds.
As long as he has this heart.
But, we serve a Great God!
He is the Great Physician.
He is able to do the impossible.
He already has.
And so, we pray.
And we thank HIM for this
wonderful news.
HE has done this!
We praise HIS Holy Name!
"And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing
which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee,
and unto thine house..."
~ Deuteronomy 26:11a ~
We seek to live one day at a time.
Each day is a Gift.
Thank you to each one of
you who has faithfully prayed for our
family in these last few months.
The LORD hears.
He answers.
And He does all things well.
Always.
In HIS Love,
Camille
I am so happy for your family Camille. I will keep praying for Austin and your family. So happy to hear that he is doing good :-)

What wonderful news you have shared Camille. 'The damage should be there but it isn't'... We serve a God who is able to do miracles and this sure sounds like one to me! Rejoicing with you. The Lord has heard and answered the prayers of His people. All glory to Him. We will keep on praying for Austin for continued restoration of his health as he takes the medications.
ReplyDeleteHave to go now and tell my children - I love telling them about when God answers our prayers!
Camille! Praise God! What an encouragement today. My sister-in-law just had emergency brain surgery last night to remove a tumor found the day before. It was successfully removed--now for radiation. Please pray for her emotional state and for a hope and trust in her Creator. She knows Him but it's tough right now.
ReplyDeleteThanking Him for your wonderful news!

I am so glad he is doing well. God is good. I will still pray for you. It's such a blessing to know God is with us. You ask what kind of Cd's we make. I wanted to tell you that the CD's we make are singing ones. Our family has a ministry of singing in concerts, churches, and differnt things. We try to make a new CD every year. God has given us this ministry. My husband used to play the piano for a southern gospel group. All of our children sing with us. Our oldest daughter, myself and my husband sing most but they do sing too. You can look and listen to our CD at bellfamilyministries.com If you would like too.
ReplyDeleteWorshiping the God Who Heals tonight!!!! Thankful for the work He has already done and eagerly looking forward to witnessing His continued hand on your son's life!!!
ReplyDeleteThis has been a week of miracles - big and small. A good friend of mine had a stroke last week and God is moving mightily and healing her faster than anyone could have ever hoped for and he's preserved the life of her unborn child (#5).
THANK YOU for letting us participate with you in seeking God and witnessing His AWESOME work in your family!
So, so glad that things are improving and the news is good. May God continue to bless and work.
ReplyDeleteDear Chelle ~ Thank you for rejoicing with us! God truly is Good. We rest in HIS Sovereign plan and know that HE does all things well...even when they are the *hard* things. I visited your ministry site and tried to listen to your music, but was unable to find a place to do that. May the LORD bless you as you seek to serve HIM each day! :)
ReplyDeleteDear Heather in AZ ~ What a powerful story of God's Gracious Hand in the life of your friend! May the LORD be praised...HE does all things well! Thank you for joining with us in praising HIS most Worthy Name my friend! :)

I am sorry about that my husband changed websites and I didn't it didn't play them anymore. O am so sorry. He is in the middle of making it play them but hasn't figured it out yet. Hopefully soon.
ReplyDeleteThanking the Lord for hearing and answering prayers. We are studying the book of Rev. for our family Bible Study. It talked about the prayers going up like incense.
ReplyDeletePrayers are powerful and miracles do happen when we pray.
We share your families JOY.
In His Love,
Virginia

ReplyDeleteI just finished reading all the posts about Austin's heart journey!
As I was reading them on my computer... a song was playing that a friend gave me and I did not know all the words until I searched for it and found the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbIXoPblF8Q
I will send you the words to the song in an email but it is simply entitled: BELIEVE
Believe
By Hillsong
VERSE 1:
You are my light
You are my strength
You are my Rock
On You I stand
I lift my voice
I raise my hands
I lift my soul
With all I am
PRE-CHORUS:
In Christ forever I'll stand
I will believe
CHORUS:
You are strong enough
In my weakness
God be lifted up
And I will sing
Lift Your praises high
Lord be magnified
You make all things new
I will believe
VERSE 2:
So, hear this song
Receive our praise
You are our strength
For all our days
We lift You up
Our voices high
In every storm
Let God arise
BRIDGE:
Oh, Your love
Your love it never fails
Your love, it knows no end
Your love will never fail
Oh, Your love
Stronger than my shame
Greater than my pain
Your love will never fail
I will believe
I am crying as I type this because the beautiful words apply to both your situation and mine.
The huge tree that came down on the house had a huge RED HEARt on it [painted there about 4 years ago]. It has always represented God's Heart to me on the big Oak tree. He is making all things new!
And... God has conncected our hearts once again! I praise HIM!
Living in the fulness of JOY,
Stephanie
Dear Stephanie ~ How sweet it was of you to take the time to share that song here. Thank you! The LORD truly is Great and Wonderful and always does what is best, even when it is hard. Oh, how precious HE is! It's lovely to reconnect with you. I will continue to pray for you in your situation with all that lies before you.
