God Reigns!

Today I witnessed one of the most horrific things in my life. Eliaseo, one of our 12 yr. old boys, choked on a hotdog. The boys were goofing around while eating (hard to imagine) and he stood up and grasped his neck. Mark Riley immediately saw the panic on his face and began doing the H-manuver (don't know how to spell it now). I thought Mark was goofing off with him and tackling him...but when Jean ran to him...I did too. 4 different people tried unsuccessfully to administer the H-manuver with no success. He lost consciousness and we tried for probably 5 more minutes to make it work...but it didn't. We rushed him to the hospital where they removed a piece of the hotdog...but his breathing was still very constricted and he wasn't regaining consciousness. He was rushed into Chihuahua by ambulance where they worked on him some more. Meanwhile 115 children were on their knees before God begging Him to spare their brother's life...and I am thrilled to report God heard their prayers and answered in a miraculous way! Elioseo is now awake, alert, NO BRAIN DAMAGE and doing good. When they asked him to identify Ed he said, "He's my wonderful Dad." The Dr. told Ed and Rosa that Eliaseo was a very lucky boy and they could not believe he was alive and no brain damage. They quickly told the Dr. that God answered the prayers of children. It is our latest miracle.

Satan is fighting...but God reigns! We were totally helpless...we cried out to the Lord...and He heard us and delivered us! Blessed be the name of the Lord!

I'm totally drained...will post more tomorrow. My Prince shared with me the great news of exceeding our mattress goal. Now we can purchase some bedding for the mattresses and possible a few more beds. Thanks be to God for abundantly supplying the needs of these precious children!
