Nick in the ER

Hello all.... what a looooonnnnnggggg night. Nick was having severe abdominal pain, beginning around 5:30 yesterday afternoon. He kept complaining, and I wrote it off as gas pains. But at bedtime he couldn't get to sleep because the pain was so sharp. By 2am, we knew we had more than gas pains on our hands. We called the doctor, and he advised us to take him to the ER. They suspected appendicitis, but drew his blood and found a normal white blood cell count. He had already gone to the bathroom, and I knew it wasn't dinner, because Jason finished Nick's dinner, and had no problems. Here's what I think....

When Nick was crying at bedtime and squirming all over his bed (keeping older brother awake), Adam came down off the top bunk and layed hands on Nick and prayed the prayer of faith, claiming that we do not serve a complicated God, and that healing is a fact, then claimed healing for Nick. It didn't get better right away, as the 2 am trip to the ER shows, but this morning, after about 5 hours of sleep, he is feeling no pain at all, and I believe God chose to heal Nick! Thank you Lord Jesus! He is relaxing, enjoying his day of rest (after being up all night, he NEEDS it!). God is so good!
