Blog, Ejection Fraction 5 %, Heart, Miracle, Thank you!, Vicky Sclafani, www.writingstraight.com
If you haven’t, you must read the two previous posts, Part 1: The Destination and Part 2: The Destination, Update and Prayer, to grasp my friend Vicky’s situation. She was on life support. Dying. Doctors and other medical staff reported she could not possibly survive the removal of the ventilator. Massive multi-organ failure. Heart. Lungs. Liver.
Vicky did not die when the tube was pulled out, a little over a week ago. She opened her eyes and said she wanted to live. The ethics committee took over. She was given care to keep her alive, but the word “futile” was repeated often. With the heart damage, it just wasn’t medically possible for her to survive much longer.
The medical staff insisted that the best hope was for Vicky to be transferred to hospice. Her heart would give out soon. She had 5% Ejection Fraction. Non-functioning liver. Lungs had been full of fluid.
Then something happened over the next few days. Improvements in her condition. Not expected. But still, she was labeled as “terminal.” The heart was the main problem. It could not sustain her much longer.
Yesterday, we were in the room with Vicky when the nurse came in with the results of the heart sonogram: “Her heart is normal.”
We were all shocked, elated, in tears!
One doctor declared, “God gave her a heart transplant.” There appears to be no medical reason that this can happen. We are told her heart could not repair itself. A doctor said, “We did nothing medically for her.”
Her liver is also normal. Her lungs are normal.
The medical staff keeps poring over her file. They can’t explain it. I can. A miracle! Vicky is doing well and will be released from the hospital, hopefully in the next few days. Thank you GOD! Thank you Jesus! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you all who prayed for Vicky!!!! You have been a part of a MIRACLE! Surely her destination is Heaven; but not yet.
How wonderful are the hands of the MIGHTY HEALER!!!!
Thank you for sharing Vicky’s travels through the valley of the shadow of death with us. I continue to pray.
Thank you Becky. Please do. More to report later
Wow! Go, God! 🙂
Woohoo!
Oh my goodness!!! As a nurse, I can only dream of witnessing something like that. Praise God. Thanks for the update.
As a nurse you can probably really grasp what a miracle this has been.
Amazing story and amazing will!
Oh, how great! I love miracles!
Thank you for sharing this miracle. I know they happen when many minds come together for a common purpose with the right reason and trust in God.
I have the greatest faith in the power of prayer. God bless Vicki. God bless us all.
Vicky is still needed in this world. Miracles do happen and i am so very happy for Vicky and her family and friends! I love what the Doctor said, “God has given her a heart transplant” Perfect.
Oh Holly! How wonderful! I have tears streaming down my cheeks…what a blessing! Did you ever write down what she was saying when she was riding the bus? God Bless!
Oh you’ve blessed the tar out of me! We serve a God of impossibilities! It’s no wonder we stand in awe!
God decided which way to heal her and it truly is a miracle….To God Be the Glory…Great things He has done!!! Diane
Amen!
I love miracles!
God is still the God of miracles. He must have something remarkable for Vicky to do, yet. Can’t wait to see what that, or those, are.
The power of prayer! God is amazing!
Oh wow! I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazarene! How marvellous, oh how wonderful…old hymn says it best! I am rejoicing with you Holly!,
This is wonderful news – but it likely will not compare to what ever comes next in Vicky’s life or the lives of those she touches.
Anne, I shared this note with Vicky. I believe you are right. God has plans for her.
Whose report will you believe…… This is truly awesome! God is still performing miracles every day!
Thank you, Jesus. We love what you have done for Vicki. Let your name be glorified throught this. May Vicki continue in the work you are giving her.
Amen! Amen!!
Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is in me Bless His holy name! He has done great things … and when Vicki comes out the other side of this, may she know how much He loves her and learn to value herself accordingly.
Vicky understands the blessings from God and is so happy and grateful for her new lease on life.
Praise our Lord Jesus and the holy angels for the work that they do. That which was broken has been mended. That which hid in fear has been brought to the light. That which was lost has been restored to its place. Healed by the love of his light.
Holly, Are there three parts to Vicky’s story? I found the blog title “Destination” and this one today, but I don’t see the other one. Could you send it to me at _annknowles03@aol.com_ (mailto:annknowles03@aol.com) . What a wonderful story of God’s love and mercy! Truly, His amazing grace never ceases! ! I want to share it with others if that’s okay. Blessings, Ann
“For nothing is impossible with God.”
Praise the Lord for HIs wonderful works! May He be glorified.
