But God...Diary of Our Miracle Covid Journey

This story is written from Dee's daily journals as she did her best to navigatethrough this COVID journey. Phil had completed a full Ironman triathlon onOct 9, 2021, and a month later he began the toughest race of his life. Dee wasby his side making sure he had the best possible care every step of this journey. Phil was in four hospitals during his 10-month battle, and 7-months of thattime he was on ECMO life support. Each day Dee prayed and listened for God sdirection. When things were the darkest, Dee trusted God for answers to helpher make tough decisions to give Phil the best possible chance of survival. Everystep of this journey, hospitals were reluctant to take Phil at first because theydidn t think he would be a success story, but Dee persisted and told them Heis an Ironman, and he IS going to get better . One foot in front of the other ishow you get to the finish line. We saw God s hand through-out this journey, whether it was through prayervigils, or timely songs on the radio. In retrospect, we saw God preparing us ayear prior when Phil got laid off from his job, and he received a sizable severance. We were able to pay off our home and put the rest in savings. What a blessing. We pray this story will encourage you to know that God still does miracles andlistens to our prayers.
