Thank you for your faithful prayers!!!
Yesterday the ENT doctor stopped by and, after conducting his tests, surprised us by concluding that my throat was fully healed. PTL !!! He adjusted my tracheostomy tube and I was able to start speaking !!!! He then approved me eating solid food !!! He is also planning to remove it this week. If that happens, I will then be released to go home !!!! PTL.
Well, after being silent for weeks, Jacqueline was standing by my side, when the doctor asked me to say something .. (Ayaya, I thank the Lord for such special opportunities that turn our mourning into joyful dancing) … I paused and, the first thing that came out of my mouth was, “I LOVE YOU JACQUELINE” …. I know for a fact that from Jacqueline’s teary eyes, and comments later made to the family, that this move earned me unlimited, unrestricted, priceless Jacqueline points !!!!! 🙂 – what a awesome God we serve !!!
You O Lord, have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy – Psalm 30:11
In His Grip,
Sami

THANK YOU GOD
Way to earn the points with Jacqueline — smart man! Hope you have a true thanksgiving and are able to go home sometime this week. You’re always in my thoughts and prayers…but over Halloween, when my 9 year old son was constantly jumping out an scaring me with his costume…I thought of one of your “tricks” at EUTeC. Thanks for always bringing a smile to my face. 🙂
Sami, it is SOOOOO good to hear from YOU. You and your family are survivors! PTL.
Diane
Sami, God has given us ANOTHER reason to be thankful this Thanksgiving week!! May He continue to bless you and your family. Helene and I were just thinking about you and how funny you thought my “obsession” was with the Mannekin Pis when we were in Brussels a few years ago……LOL. You are one of a kind, my friend!
