Today was certainly a day that left me wanting to talk about things on my blog. My nephew who is only 1 year old, had such a high fever (104 degrees) that he began to have seizures. My mother in law was frantic calling the ambulance and all. My husband called me to meet him in the ER shortly after. When we got there....we were very calm. No fear crept into my heart or in Ralph's heart as well. We knew that everything was going to be ok. When we arrived, Ralph's father and grandmother also pulled into the parking lot just a few minutes after us. Immediately his grandmother went into sobbing mode. She ran to Ralph for comfort. Then Ralph's father came over and tried explaining what had just happened but began to get emotional as well. I felt like the voice of reason for everyone as I reassured everyone that Kaleb was going to be fine.
I used to work (many years ago) in pediatrics, so this didn't scare me one bit. However, I do know the effects of seizures and what causes most of them so I did have a bit of concern. I quickly got on my cell phone and sent a message to a few intercessors at OHOP (Orlando House of Prayer) and asked them to pray for Kaleb. I also posted on Facebook for people out there to partner with me in prayer for Kaleb. I was certain that if we pray together in agreement, the Lord will be there with us and hear our prayers.
Matthew 18:20 - 19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”
I'm so thankful for everyone out there that came into agreement with us and prayed for Kaleb. Ralph was allowed back into the ER room where Kaleb was and he layed hands on him right there and prayed for his healing. After being there for a while, Tiffany (Ralph's sister - Kaleb's mom) told us that the fever was gone and he was being monitored while they run a few tests on him. They wanted to rule out infections and pneumonia.
Whatever the case may be, he's doing ok now. They released him from the hospital and he's at home resting. Praise the Lord! He's healed. They ruled out everything and just said that because his fever ran so high, that is why he went into seizures.
Now we are here at home. Just relaxing and trying to unwind from such a crazy couple of days. All I want to do right now, is sit still and pray. I have a lot to be thankful for. I also have a lot to pray about in the future.
Thank you Jesus. You are so faithful and true. The true healer.
