Miracle on June 2nd

When Carol first noticed this white growth on my eye she tried to get it out with the usual side of a tissue and her finger, but it did not move. At various times before the first Dr.’s visit, I tried to get it off using a cotton tab. Our hospice nurse tried to remove the growth but with no success. Our first Dr. appointment was with a Dr. Yu of the practice. During the course of his examination, Dr. Yu tried to get is off as well. After failure, that is when we scheduled a time for surgical removal and received all the information that we have been communicating to you over these last few days. I began to detect what I thought were blood vessels beginning to develop to the white tumor.

But my heart was simply not settled about the surgery and I wanted to know just a bit more about the procedure before we went through with it and I really wanted to have another diagnosis, a second opinion from another Dr. in the practice that we heard good things about. We were adamant about it as we received a fair amount of resistance from the scheduler’s at the practice. But there just happened to be an opening two days before The surgery date.’

Frankly, the minute Dr. Sutphin came into the room you could tell he was a professional and there was a different air about the meeting as he went about doing his own examination. After answering our questions, he began to do his own examination and letting us know what he was doing with each new test. (which is one thing I really appreciate in a Dr.)

After numbing my eyeball he set about examining the growth and within a minute. He simply lifted it off the surface of the eye. And showed it to us. We couldn’t help but say things like ‘Praise the Lord’ ‘Amazing,’ ‘Unbelievable.’ The final outcome is that I have a slight more of this material on the eye .. so I am to use these drops 4 to 8 times a day to see if that will simply take care of it and to go back for a visit in one month. If there is any more growth, then they may do a microscopic removal of everything which will entail a simple procedure at the office. But the Dr. is convinced it has nothing whatsoever to do with my other cancerous material and is simply a problem of dry eye.

I have come to the conclusion that in the one week time during our attempts and the first Dr.’s examination and attempt to remove the growth AND the second Dr.’S appointment .. the Lord used ALL your prayers to simply detach that growth from any potential blood vessels or settlement into the surrounding tissue. In other words .. a miracle! HE LIFTED THAT TUMOR OFF THE SURFACE OF MY EYE WITH NO WORRISOME SIDE AFFECTS. It simply lifted right off. The hundred’s .. maybe thousands of prayers were answered by a merciful, loving and caring God. I’m convinced of it and will praise the Lord accordingly .. I am certainly NO apostle Paul, but having things being lifted off your eyes by God and for the purposes of Jesus Christ does have some precedents.

Acts 19: 17-19 So Ananias departed and entered the house, and after laying his hands on him said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit." And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized; and he took food and was strengthened.

Matt20:32-34 And Jesus stopped and called them, and said, "What do you want Me to do for you?" They said to Him, "Lord, we want our eyes to be opened." Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.


Psalm 20: I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
From where shall my help come?
2My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.
3He will not allow your foot to slip;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
4Behold, He who keeps Israel
Will neither slumber nor sleep.
5The LORD is your keeper;
The LORD is your shade on your right hand.
6The (sun will not smite you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
7The LORD will protect you from all evil;
He will keep your soul.
8The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in
From this time forth and forever.

Thanks to all who join in this miracle with us!!!!!!
