. “The prayers of a righteous man , is powerful and effective.”
James 5:16b

Our prayers have been answered and God put his hand of healing upon Jordans life.
Just a note... to let you all know that Jordan is doing well, and to thank you all for your prayers
Here is a quick recap of what has been going on in our lives for the past few months.....
Nothing less then one Miracle after another.

In February, of this year we took the kids for a routine trip to the pediatrician. While I was there I mentioned to the doctor the Jordan often turns his head when somebody is speaking towards his left ear. Often saying, “pardon me,” and saying, “I can’t hear what you are saying.” This concern was noticed by many people including his teacher at school. I am sure he must have been often thought of as being heedless and not paying attention.
While we lived in Ontario we had several hearing tests and pressure tests done time and time again and yet no answers? Simply we didn’t know there was a problem and it seemed as though these symptoms were being caused by ear infections. After a scheduled CT Scan and being referred to a specialist, Jordan was indeed diagnosed as a child with a hearing problem... this test revealed many dark grey areas surrounding the bones of Jordans left ear. Erosion of the bones and growth of a cholestoma were the main concerns for the doctor.(not being explained to me at that point).
Days after a visit with the Specialist, Jordan came down with the worst ear infection ever...the pain was so intense that we couldn’t control it....antibiotics would not kill it, he could not rest and he could not eat. Too much pain to move...stand or even talk . As a parent it was so painful to watch.....every two hours I would give him pain relief but it only took away the edge.

Miracle #1
On the fourth night....he was at wits end. Our family gathered around Jordan as he was laying on the couch and we began to pray. Peace immediately filled the room and a few minutes later he said, “ Daddy the pain is not so bad now.” Within ten minutes Jordan was feeling better and fell asleep.
Meanwhile the specialist was at her office and realized this is a case that is out of her league. Dr. Heather Levin called me and said, “I need to get another opinion so I am referring Jordan to Dr.Lateio”.
The procedure then was for Dr. Levin to dictate a referral letter and have it sent to Dr. Laieto. It then sat on a pile with the other 150 appointment requests

Miracle #2
After not hearing from Dr. Levin for a week, I called and said I haven’t heard anything for some time. She informed that this is a long process that may take up to 6 months or so. I would have to wait. Well me, the patient soul I am asked if I could have the phone number and, well to make a long story short....I was off the phone and at the school picking Jordan up and at Childrens Hospital within 65 minutes.. This is a miracle that only God could have provided. My voice was no different than any other mothers who called concerning their children. But the Lord was gracious in opening the door sooner than the doctors thought possible.

This appointment revealed that Jordan had a ear disease called Cholestoma. It is a problem that occurs when skin is growing on the inside of the eardrum.. This benign tumor(cyst) sits in the middle ear creating a barrier for the sound to move. Too complex to get in to. Part of Jordans problem had been that the cysts would grow and begin shedding skin then get infected and perforate the ear drum causing severe pain...

Dr Latieo had an intern student with him and they closely went through the scan and looked in Jordans ear with a special microscope. In fact, he reached in a pulled out a part of the cholestoma and I held it in my fingers. At this appointment
Jordan was diagnosed and listed for surgery as soon as possible to repair this problem. This could not be left because it could eventually cause him to loose his permanent hearing or even worse, grow into the skull and cause infection in the brain.


We went through all the appointments; exams; research questions; fears and prayer requests and now it is August 18. Today Jordan’s spirits are good.., all prayed up and ready for battle. He has spoken life into his own problem time and time again. I would say, “How is your bad ear?” Jordan would respond, “You mean my good ear, the one God is healing ” His faith was unbreakable, unbelievable We have learned so much from him.
At Boys and Girls camp, Jordan was prayed over by the pastors....at family camp he was prayed over....at church he was prayed over....anointed and prayed over again. He received endless cards and emails of prayers that are being prayed.....daily....consistently...desperately.
We arrived at childrens hospital ten o’clock this past Friday morning.The doctor wanted Jordan for a little longer because of this delicate surgery. There was possibility of bones being replaced and they were not sure of what they were going to find?
All the paper work was finished and we were in the OR waiting room waiting to see the Doctor. He came in and had a talk with us and went over the whole procedure. He then asked Jordan if he was ready in which he responded, “I want to get this over with.”

Miracle #3
The doctor then asked Jordan if he could look in his ear. He looked....looked.....looked and looked again....and put his hand on his head and said I can see no sign of a Cholestoma in this ear.
He then said, “I think instead of a 4 hour surgery...we are looking at a 5 minute one.”
They followed through with the procedure ..... and basically did an exploratory surgery...(approx 40 minutes)
We were sitting in the room upstairs and the Dr. called. He told us that he looked in every crevice and place in Jordans ear and that all he could find was fluid. Nothing else so he inserted a tube which is a very common procedure.

Miracle # 4
Then next miracle involving me....about 2-3 months ago I had a dream. In this dream it was very peaceful and we were with a doctor. This appointment was intense at first and then there was a huge sigh of relief. In this dream, the doctor looked at me and said, ‘the problem is only fluid.’ Upon my arrival home I remember saying to Dan, “Oh everything is okay.... it is only fluid ”
Yesterday when the doctor called my heart leaped for joy.... he said, “There was only fluid..”

So I tell you this to share our joy...that our faith has been tested and our son has received a complete healing in his left ear.

Praise the Lord for his Gracious Love and MIRACLES

All our Love

Let me encourage you today....


No matter what the storm of your life is today. God is in control!

I remember looking off this dock a year ago....as the minutes passed by....my anxieties increased.

Are they safe??? Did something tragic happen???

How was I to know....

My husband and Son went on a fishing trip and never came home as expected.... I sat here at the edge of this rusty dock and prayed, "Lord keep them safe." I had a flashlight shining it out across the empty waves....hoping the light would find them.....to know avail they were lost......

Feeling completely out of contol and helpless, I could only rely on the grace and favor of God! What could I do???

We were able to call for help and have a friend go and look for them.....my husband being a very wise man... was known to most people where his favorite posts were located.....this made things alot easier......

After a few hours....still sitting on the dock, tears in my eyes and white knuckles, I saw a little ray of light. Could it be??? A little closer.... closer..... closer....... finally I see a bright light and a little boat being towed by bigger boat....They were found.....

As I pointed my little flashlight toward the boat, the ray of light shone on the faces of my beloved....

You my friend are, 'Gods Beloved' and He is guiding you every day!
He Loves you..........He is sending rays of light in every direction towards you......Keep the faith! Let me remind you that you are safe in the hollow of his hand....There is nothing that can keep for the safety of a loving God............You are safe and secure....Just rely on Him!
