This is a true story of a family who struggles to overcome life's trials and tribulations brought about by the medical challenges of their son. Despite their prayers for his physical well being, their son is forced to endure years of medical triumphs and upheavals, one after another. His life was given up by medical staff who did not believe he had any hope for survival. However, fortunately for this little boy, God does not give up on us!! Shortly after his miraculous birth, he was faced with years of battling one medical condition after another. He was placed on kidney dialysis at the age of 3 years old, and soon after survived a kidney transplant. He also suffered through years of severe seizures, sleep apnea, as well as, a traumatic brain injury. His mother has written this story in hopes to inspire parents and others going through their own personal battles, storms and floods. Sometimes it may seem so overwhelming and leaving you with the feeling of giving up. However, this testimony of trials and tribulations, victories, and miracles, hopefully will allow those parents to stand still for just a moment, and give deep thought to who is truly in control. GOD IS IN CONTROL!!As the readers reflect on this story, many of them may realize that this story is about their own lives in so many ways. The author takes her audience through some life experiences which many of us may very well be suffering, and just as she is about to give up her life, the Lord reveals to her, the true purpose of her son's life of suffering, as well as, her own. It is as if he opens a door and this marvelous, brilliant light comes beaming through. This book will not only change your attitudetowards life itself, but it will change your life forever!!
