Birthday celebrations...

We went back into hospital this afternoon to see Dad for his birthday. The two arrows show his birthday cakes - one (above) that we took in for the ICU staff to eat at their coffee breaks, and another (below) that hospital staff gave him for his birthday. We read out all his birthday cards to him, including some of the Bible verses that people had received when praying for him and we also took in a photo (top right) of the many get well cards that people have sent to him over the past five weeks. 

Dad was looking very well this afternoon. The heavy bleeding had suddenly stopped this morning, he is now off the ventilator and breathing totally on his own, and hospital staff continue to be amazed at this "miracle man" who has astounded them by cheating death yet again. (More about that in the next posting. Watch this space for more details.) Everyone who hears the story of last night's brush with death can only say, "That is a miracle." Isn't God amazing?!
