It was good to catch up and hear about Carol's continued recovery.
Heath was telling us about the story of Miss Universe from Brazil who contracted the same bacteria that devastated Carol.
Apparently, she lost limbs and her sight as well.
Very sad.
They also told us of numerous people around the country afflicted with this deadly virus and how, sadly, most of them did not survive.
The mortality rate of this "little beast" is very high...Carol should not have survived.
But she did...and we spoke of why God spared her and what will He do through her?
It was...bittersweet, to say the least.
Carol is still experiencing "flashes" in her vision which is inexplicable to her doctors; I say, perhaps her optic nerve is regenerating, which would be a miracle, and that is precisely what we are praying for.
These are people who love the Lord with all their hearts and believe in His divine plan for them.
Guess what?
They are also LDS....and we have a dialog; a place to begin talking about our faith and what it means in our everyday lives.
It is the first since I've known them that we have had meaningful dialog about our beliefs without the differences setting us on edge and it had drawn us closer to one another.
Please continue to pray for this family; Darla, Heath, Carol, Scott, as they try to find rest and peace and normalcy amid all the chaos that they have been through.
Please pray to God that He will restore Carol's sight and for their spiritual healing as well.
Thank you, my friends.

Thank you for the update on Carol. She is a miracle already and God is using her so much. I am thrilled you were able to have such an open conversation with her family. BTW - welcome to facebook. It is possible to do both. ;0)
