Miracles do happen

So today the second miracle happened in my life. I know we throw that word around a lot in reference to sports and other small things that happen in our lives that we didnt expect. This miracle goes way beyond any of those and falls in the actual could only have happened by God's grace category. My dad was taken to the ER on Sunday evening with chest pain. He had a mild heart attack. That is was the start of the miracle. The miracle came to full fruition today when they took him in for an angioplasty to fix what they believed to be a small blockage in an artery. When they got in to do the angioplasty today and injected to die to find the blockage they found that one of his arteries was 99% blocked and there was a good amount of blockage in a couple other arteries as well. They immediately put him on the schedule this afternoon for bypass surgery. They got in this afternoon and ended up doing a quadruple bypass. They found that there was no damage done to his heart. Everything is functioning properly now and the doctors are very happy with the results. There is no way that this situation can be explained other than a complete miracle happening. For him to have 99% blockage and blockage in other arteries and only have a minor heart attack and no damage to the heart. This is the second time in my life I have witnessed a miracle. The other was the day before either my 14th or 15th birthday but that is another story for another time. Thank you God for a huge miracle and keeping my dad around longer with us.
