Our nearly 4yr old grandson Ty became very sick and was admitted into hospital in quite a serious condition. They tested him for meningitis and swine flu. It was very quickly discovered that he had the meningitis virus and was immediately put on an antiviral meningitis antibiotic which was administered intravenously.
48 hrs later the results came back for swine flu and the results for this were pretty dismal as he had contracted this virus also and was quarantined because of it.

Over the course of 6 days our wee little man endured radical therapy in order to reduce the temperature that never seemed to go below 38 degrees, most times spiking into the forties.

Ty hadn't eaten anything 4 days before he became sick and his appetite continued to decline which worried the doctors. After some failed attempts at inserting a tube in his nose to his stomach they decided to send for a specialist.

Steve & Jeff very good friends and comrades kept in touch with us during this time and would relay information back to the friends that were praying.

Things were not looking good for our boy, the specialist wanted him to have an MRI and further blood tests because this was really puzzling them.

On Monday evening Les & I had gone home from the hospital for a couple of hours because we were going back to the hospital to do a shift that night.
Whilst we were at home Steve rang and asked how Ty was.
We told him it was not good please ask people to pray because his temperature was not coming down and continued to spike into the forties. To make matters worst Ty was not eating and could not hold liquids down on his own.

When we returned to the hospital Ty was asleep and it allowed his parents to leave. This is where the miracle happened. Ty's temperature took a nose dive and dropped to 34 degrees and continued that way through out the night. The next morning Ty work up very chatty and hungry (it had been 10 days since he had eaten).

During the course of that day he continued to get better and regain his strength. The doctors came in and chatted with us and our daughter and were very hopeful at what they saw. If his temperature remained low and his appetite continued to pick up he would be allowed to go home. On the Wednesday morning he was discharged from hospital 7 days after he had been admitted.

On the following Sunday morning I took him to church and asked the Elders to anoint him with oil and pray for him. We have not looked back since then and he continues to become the little man that we love and adore.

In actual fact I believe our little Man has had a God encounter. His attitude and demeanor has changed soooo much and whats even more amazing is, he loves coming to church and attending Sunday school.
At the Sunday morning prayer meeting on the 2nd of August I saw him put his hands together in prayer and then he raised his hands to the Lord.

Thank you God for your miracle.

Love
Les, Allie, Janice, Amanda & Ty
