Follow Up on Carol Poston

Just a quick follow up on Carol Poston in case you hadn't seen all my facebook posts: Carol Poston came out of her coma- quite miraculously after 9 days! The doctors had given up and had asked her husband for permission to do a tracheotemy (I think I spelled that wrong), and told him to plan for a long coma. Craig refused. The next day she woke up and couldn't speak, but was responding to questions by squeezing hands. The following day, she woke up and could speak normally and had full brain function. Today- a week and a half after she's woken up, shes in physical therapy working on restoring her muscles which had completely atrophied and working to raise her left eyelid which won't completely raise on it's own. She also is working to regain complete control over the left side of her mouth. These are the main issues left from her coma, but the fact that she's alive when the doctor's had believed she may never come out of it is a miracle of the Lord. He was just waiting for them to say, no it can't happen, and He said "oh yeah! Watch Me!" He wanted them to know it was Him! He's so good.
