CT Scan Miracle

Sept. 25th Rachel went for her second CT scan. I witnessed a full blown miracle right before my eyes. My husband and I were really concerned about how they were going to keep Rachel still for the CT scan. We didn't want her to have to get stuck again (she had been poked and prodded so many times in the NICU that I couldn't bear the thought of any more). We didn't want her to have to be sedated again. This would likely mean another feeding tube, etc. until the sedation wore off. All we could do is pray that God would somehow make her still long enough for the scan to be over. Low and behold...here's what happened. We were in the waiting room getting ready for Rachel to be called. It was past her feeding time (nothing like trying to keep a hungry baby still). I decided to go ahead and start feeding her hoping to get through before they called her back. Rachel got half way through her bottle when the tech came in and said it was her turn. My human brain started swirling things, "Now she will be really mad that she can't finish her bottle" I thought. She and I were escorted to the "big doughnut" and I was instructed to lay her down. She was not really crying, but wasn't still either. I put her down with a silent prayer that somehow God would prevail and this thing would turn out okay with no sedatives. As soon as I laid her down she literally went straight to sleep! It took her all of ONE SECOND to fall asleep. She stayed still the entire test and woke right up as soon as they were done with the scan. All I could do was thank God and cry tears of joy because I KNEW what Christ had just done for Rachel and I. There was no doubt at all that God was in that room at that very moment taking care of one of His children. I am still amazed at His power. What a mighty God we serve! We won't know the test results until Monday, but are continuing to pray for healing for baby Rachel. Pray that God grants healing to baby Rachel and that the CT scan comes back missing one troublesome spot that was there just days before!!!
