God Has Given
Nathan means “gift of God” or “God has given”. And God truly has. He gave us our incredible little boy, he gave us a miracle in the reduction of Nathan’s clot and, as Tim pointed out, he’s given the doctors at Children’s Hospital experience they need in treating a combination of health issues that very rarely come together and that none of them have treated before. I’ve been thinking about what Nathan’s doctors are learning as they treat him and while I know the next child to come in with an infected clot will benefit, I’m still having a hard time with the fact that they are learning through my son’s illness. I want to give Nathan’s Creator a good punch in the nose just about as much as I want to say Thank You.

I have always had a slightly difficult time with the concept that God always answers our prayers, but not always in the way that we would like. However, this time the miracle truly occurred in such a beautiful way. I am so filled with joy for your gift of God and for your family ~
