| Husband saved during stroke | | Friday morning my husband had a stroke. Here is the sequence of events and my posts relating what happened.
8-10-12 7:16 AM My husband is having a stroke. He can hardly move. Will not allow me to call 911. We have a history of me calling against his wishes and have made a deal not to call unless unconsciousness is involved - or blood. I gave him an Aspirin and we prayed the Lord's Prayer before he could not speak any more. His arms will nor work right and his face is distorted.
7:36 AM He set back with his eyes closed for 5 min or so and now can talk almost normally. His understanding is fuzzy but he is still in there when I look in his eyes.
He was able to get into bed by himself. Says he wants to 'lay down a little.' Can't say how wonderful it is to understand his words. God answers prayer.
8-11-12 8:20AM Update:
After a short nap my Husband opened his eyes and said, "Hi, Honey" From there on out he was his old self. Even went outside and filled in the line we had dug to lay some water pipe. There are no signs that the event ever happened.
My Husband asks me to let you all know that his is very grateful I did as he asked concerning calling 911. It is only in the last few years the illusion of immediate care has blossomed. Even 50 years ago, on a farm/homestead the emergency care would have been what I gave yesterday. Possibly, minus the aspirin.
We praise Jesus for His mercy upon our family. Every day is icing on the cake! A marvelous gift from our good Lord.
Chuck is as well as he was before the stroke. The whole episode has an unreal feeling to both of us, but we know it was very real. I wish others had eyes to see God's hand upon us. I guess if it was not for His grace, giving us eyes, we would discount it also.
It is possible the whole event was my 'fault.' I have prayed, recently, to see God work mightily, as He did in the scriptures. After I confessed this to him, my husband says, since he got to see it, too, and he is fine with that.
God still works miracles and Jesus is Lord of our lives.

| Re: Husband saved during stroke | | White stone I give thanks unto the LORD for HIS care of your dear husband. It truly is a miracle. I can not even begin to imagine the faith that GOD must have given you in those moments to trust HIM for your husbands well being. GOD is so good to us, HE knows all of our needs and loves us so much. I pray for GOD to keep you both near to HIM. Thank you for sharing this wonderful testimony.
God bless maryjane |

| Re: | | Thank you all for your prayers.
My Husband had another 'spell' this evening. Not as strong or as long lasting as the one the other day. He has agreed to go see his Dr. in the morning. He is scheduled for a surgical procedure in a week but we don't feel it would be fair to the surgeon not to let him know something was up. He is not opposed to Drs, just emergency rooms.
Our faith in Jesus makes dealing with these spells possible. My husband does not get anxious, just calmly lets me know what is going on. I go for the aspirin bottle and we both pray. Tonight I told him that if he dies he will be with Jesus and have his tears dried. I will be able to take comfort in knowing he will no longer be in pain. I do not worry about myself, Jesus will provide and lead me. God sets our priorities.
Your prayers are a comfort.
