Miracles Still Happen —Part 2

The prayers of friends, family, and church members never stopped as we waited for the Lord’s will to be done. By His grace, after several tests, imaging, and trials, a date was set for Adjei to get into the hospital for a pre-surgery procedure.

As we prepared for the admission, we received a call to the effect that Adjei’s insurance would not cover him under that particular neurosurgeon’s treatment because he is not in Adjei’s insurance network. Discouraged? Yes! But we prayed, believing that somehow it would be all right. Suddenly, a call came again from the doctor’s nurse that my husband was to report to the emergency department and a nurse would take care of him. No one is denied care in the emergency department —network or not.

In that way, the surgeon would be able to do the surgery as planned. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, when I took my husband to the hospital, only he was allowed to enter. I was sent home in tears. I called the nurse, and she assured me that the doctor would call me after the surgery, two days later.

After I had waited alone for three days in agony, the phone rang, and the neurosurgeon was on the line. “Good news. Your husband’s surgery went well, and after seven hours, we did it. Oh, he is moving his legs.” “Amen. Glory to God.” This was great news. He was moving his legs, and the tumor had been removed.

That gave me hope that my husband would surely walk again. I am very grateful to God and this neurosurgeon and his team.

After a week of pain and suffering, my husband was transferred to a rehab facility, and even though I was still not allowed to visit him, we communicated by phone. Prayers continued unabated, and by God’s grace, after six weeks, everybody, including the doctor, was surprised that my husband stood up and walked without a walker or cane, never to go back. Yes! Just like that. And if this is not a miracle, what do you think it is? For me, my church, my coworkers, my friends, the neurosurgeon, and my family, it is the greatest miracle in our lives. So, I ask, are miracles still happening in this sinful world? Yes, they are. Only believe!
