God made scientists, teachers, seminary grads and doctors because only when experts reach the end of their expertise will some of us acknowledge God as the expert He is.
The doctors at Vanderbilt are exceedingly compassionate and brilliant. But sometimes wrong. They said my sister-in-law Amy would need yet another surgery. It was the only way.
The human eye has a series of faucets inside that fill it with fluid, which keeps stuff from rubbing together, which keeps us from going blind. The eye also has a drain that lets fluid out. If the faucet breaks then the eye doesn’t have enough fluid. If the drain breaks then the eye has too much fluid.
After an initial successful surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from Amy’s iris, her eye stopped making enough fluid. The faucets were broken. And her eye collapsed.
After numerous doctor visits and procedures that problem fixed itself. The faucets simply turned back on.
With faucets making enough fluid it was then discovered that her drain was broken.
Amy’s eye filled with fluid, the pressure inside rose and caused her a couple weeks of intense pain and nausea. The doctors said her eye’s drain was partially scarred shut – irreparable. They’d have to permanently shut off some of her faucets by destroying them. This, they thought, was the only way to balance the amount of fluid filling her eye with the amount her eye could drain.
They thought.
Then several days passed with no pain. The doctor’s took a look, measured the fluid pressure in her eye, and said, well, her eye fixed itself. Somehow.
Somebody fixed it. An Expert.
Thank you for praying!

You know, I look at our bodies and think “how can anyone think we evolved from pond slime.”
We have an amazing God who created, and therefore can heal, us. Praise God for Amy’s healing.

Ken Summerlin says:
It’s encouraging to read about how God is at work in Amy’s life to bring healing to her body. I wonder how often we miss the blessings of God because we’re impatient. I’m not advocating sitting quietly and doing nothing as our health or any other facet of life falls apart around us (nor am I implying that this is what Amy did) but in our haste to “fix things,” I wonder how often we short-change God and miss the opportunity to watch him work to restore us. I fully appreciate that God also choose to work through the hands of physicians and other to restore us. I think, however, that there are times that I’ve missed all that he has for me because I have not been willing to wait on him.

Britt @ The Mama Zine says:
My husbands appendix was badly ruptured and then sealed “itself” back up. Doctors brought in med-students to see this oddity and try to explain how and why. I, like you knew it was not an accident. It had to be an expert, The Expert!
Glad He healed your sister in law! Hope he continues to bless her. : )
