I have never seen water turn to wine!
I have never seen someone part a sea!

But, what I have seen over the last few days is pretty amazing!
It was just a few weeks ago that they were giving Derek less than a 50% chance.
It was just a little over a week ago they gave us the option to go to Children’s Mercy in KC.

Over the last few days Derek has had his vent tube removed!
All of his other tubes (other than an IV line) REMOVED!
He is out of ICU! They moved him to a regular room!
His lung's X Rays are 100% Clear!
He is up and walking around!
He is on NO OXYGEN (they said he probably would be for 6 to 12 months after he got out of the hospital)!!
He has no pain in his leg!
The nurses on his new floor show no record of a fracture of the leg anywhere in his file!

I had a family member ask us if maybe we over exaggerated the extent of his illness. I was soooo upset! We have had 50+ people in there with us over the last few weeks and they have heard what the Doctors have told us about his condition and possible outcome!


This is a gift!
This request was heard through 100's of prayers!

I cannot begin to explain how life changing this whole situation has been!

I owe all of you that prayed for us and my son a HUGE thank you!
I could type all night and I don't think the entire level of my appreciation can be expressed in words!


Thank you all for everything! I will continue to keep you updated! May the goodness that you all have shown us be given back to ALL of you 100 times over!

The Tracy Family!!!
