Miracle 144: A Living Breathing Miracle

This miracle is one from my own family when we were living in Dallas, Texas!

Fifteen years ago my beautiful little sister was born. The first night she spent at home she struggled breathing, so my parents rushed her to the hospital. She spent several weeks in the hospital and underwent many surgeries. She received a priesthood blessing from my dad and was placed on an ECMO machine. The machine had tubes that went in through her neck and down to her heart to circulate the blood. The doctors told my parents that she had a 13% chance of living and that she would likely have brain damage, hearing loss, and other side effects. During this time all of our extended family lived far away, but we were united in prayer and fasting for her.

After many weeks of prayers and through the grace of God, she began to recover and was finally released from the hospital. She not only lived, but years later she is still a beautiful, spunky, and happy young woman. To this day she hasn't suffered from any of the side effects that the doctors had predicted. She is a living breathing miracle and I'm grateful to be sealed to her and my family forever!

Though this time in my family's life brought great hardship, we found peace and hope in our Heavenly Father's plan. No matter what happened, we knew this life was not the end and that everything would be all right. She is our families living, breathing miracle!
