Miracle

I myself have never witnessed a miracle -- until Tuesday.
The past couple weeks have been hell. Truly. Mike and I were trying to remain hopeful, but inside we were each convinced that Mike's eye trouble had all the earmarks of a cancer recurrence. But we prayed, were prayed for, and we tried to listen to what God was speaking to us.
I will go in to a more detailed explanation of things later, but here is what I posted to everyone on Facebook on Tuesday evening following Mike's eye checkup that afternoon:

OK, very looooong story shortened..... For those who don't know, Mike's been having eye troubles lately (what we found out was a condition called uveitis). Two weeks ago when things really hit the fan, his eye pressure was triple the normal level. He went on VERY aggressive steroid drops which didn't help. They were worried about a cancer recurrence in the eye. Things weren't looking good (no pun intended). They drew fluid from the eye last week and the results came back negative for cancer, but that also meant they had no idea what was causing this and couldn't understand why treatment was having no effect. On Sunday at church, we got some very intense prayer. Yesterday morning, Mike's eyes were nearly back to normal. Today, at the followup with the world-renowned eye specialist we've been seeing, he came in and said he thought we should proceed with injections of methotrexate into the eyes in order to try to treat this condition. He then began to examine Mike's eyes. He paused and said, "Wait, things have changed here." He proceeded to say that the inflammation was down significantly and he instead recommended a "watch and wait" approach. I grilled him a bit about different things that might account for this change, and if it's "normal" for someone to not respond to eye treatments for nearly two weeks, then suddenly have a change. He couldn't explain it. But we could. This miracle wasn't just given to us for our sake, but for our families and friends. God does exist, and he cares.
Oh, and by the way, we also learned later today that Mike's bone marrow and spinal fluid are clear as well......

So there we have it. Next checkup on Monday morning.
