Praise Report from Gina

This post is a comment left on the previous post. I thought i will pull it up so the prayer warriors can see right away:

Hello, my name is Gina and I'm the sister of Randy. I, too have also been at the hospital with my husband Leonard since they arrived on Sept. 1st...First of all I'd like to thank our Heavenly Father for all that He has done so far and all that He's about to do. I would also like to thank everyone who has been lifting up Chance in there prayers as well as his family (much appreciated).

"I shall not die, but live,
and declare the works of the Lord."
Psalm 118:17

I would like to share a little about what the Lord has done and His wonder working power....My nephew was found unconscious without a pulse at a beach in Lahaina on Sept. 1st. My brother and his wife Mimi tried to revive him with CPR...the paramedics took 4 times trying to shock his heart back into rhythm...finally on the fourth try, he was revived (thank God for that first miracle).

Later on that evening they had to medi-vac Chance over to Kapiolani Hospital. For the next several days he was in a coma and on life support. After taking the first MRI the doctors gave the report that Chance had brain damage in all 4 parts of his brain. Several days after that the doctor decided to take another MRI because his eyes were dilated and responding to the light. When the second MRI report came in the doctors told Chance's parents that the current MRI was worse than the first one. The neurologist told my brother that Chance's right side of his brain was severely damaged and parts of his left side of the brain was damaged also. They told my brother that Chance would not walk again and that this is the reason he is not coming out of the coma. Chance's family refused to believe the reports of the neurologists and chose rather to put their trust and hope in GOD. Exactly 2 days after seeking and petitioning the Lord for a miracle, early that morning Chance began to open his eyes and squeeze with his hand and making grunting noises while his mother (Tanya), father (Randy), and sisters (Mikeila & Lainey) were in the room with him. What a miraculous thing!!! From then on Chance has been slowly being taken off of the life support and breathing on his own...Praise God!!! On Sept. 13th Chance was moved from PICU to Wilcox (his own room) and is slowly being weaned from all the medications that was put into his body.

Please pray that the Lord would completely heal him from all his withdrawals and totally restore him whole. I wasn't there to see Chance smile and giggle but I did see Chance cry when his daddy talked to him and let him know that everything is going to be alright. Our God is an awesome God and He reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power, and love...OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!!! To Him be all the glory, honor, and praise!!!

Please continue to pray for Chance and his family that the Lord would comfort and bring healing with total restoration.

God Bless,
Gina Mersburgh
