All Brain Injuries Matter

Good morning prayer warriors !! Hope you all are doing well
I feel compelled today to share something's hope you don't mind
I know I shared a picture of my children who both were severely injured and in an ICU unit im.using that picture again.
I feel like I am to share from my heart something that i have experienced . I feel someone needs to read this. It's a little long so if it's too much just pass it by
I hope this blesses all of you in a mighty way

I believe there are millions of believers around the world that are asking the question is GOD still performing miracles today .
They know he is performing miracles but wonder how and if God can use them.
I believe we are in a season where God is really pouring out his glory over the earth
You know the Bible says in Mark 16 they went about proclaiming the kingdom, the Lord working with them confirming his work with signs, wonders and miracles
You do not have to be a preacher, a teacher, you don’t have to be any big title ( I’m not) he will use anyone who is willing and obedient and you will see what Isiah chapter 1 says
You are going to eat the good of the Land. Our Land is good people we just need to bring God back to it, just give God a try
I don’t have a big title, I’m not anything special or better than anyone else God used me. I believe I have the gift of healing I stood my Faith with both my children in front of Doctors, Nurses, Scientists, Trauma surgeons .
If you have ever been faced with a trauma or an emergency call you will surely relate. I received 2 calls in my lifetime that shook me to my core . Both my children were rushed by ambulance to trauma centers. I was called to speak on their behalf because both we on ventilators unable to speak for themselves ( I was listed as their Health Care Proxys)
Both very critical, both on the edge of death at any time. Every time something critical was happening I was getting calls, I had to approve each and every emergency surgery
My Son Raymond 3 emergency brain surgeries, My daughter April 4 emergency surgeries to repair internal injuries. Each and every time I was so sacred and sick to my stomach wondering if I was making the right decision. Before answering I asked the doctors on the other end many questions or sat in front of neuro surgeons and asked them many questions
I asked these professional surgeon how experienced they were in what they wanted to do to my babies
I asked how many of these surgeries they did
With my son I was at the hospital so after al my questions were answered I asked the Neuro Surgeon if I could pray over her hands- She was in amazement
Myself and my whole family who were present all prayed and laid hands on this surgeon ( I stood my Faith)
My daughter As soon as I got the call from the nurse on the side of the road I called out Jesus’s name and fell to my knees praying for protection , praying that God would hold her and keep her from harm. We arrived at the ER Andre was already there in waiting area but due to COVID I was not even allowed to see my baby, this shook me to the core more than anything ever in my life. I drove 1 hour and 40 minutes only to be told to leave.
I did not have a chance to see her or pray over her so I stood in the ER parking lot and just prayed in my car –My husband by my side trying to calm me .
I had to approve so many critical emergency surgeries, each one had so many risks of her dying on the table. I asked more questions but most importantly I prayed with that doctor on the other end of the phone before they went into the operating room. Prayer people is so powerful I am witness to how powerful it truly is.
Both my children know God, both have accepted him at a young age as their lord and savior. I didn’t think oh if something happens they will be in paradise NO I’m being honest I did not want to lose my babies , all I thought of was the scriptures I grew up hearing, that said ask and you shall receive, trust believe. God will give you the desires of your heart. I’m being honest people I am not what the world calls a Holy Roller I am a normal down to earth woman who believes in God, who believes he died on the cross for me, a woman who accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior Easter Sunday 1982. I couldn’t verse scripture to you for the life of me so I googled healing scriptures and would read then out loud over my sons body
I was finally allowed in to see my daughter the day after her accident- She was in the ICU on a ventilator, she didn’t even know I was there. The hospital approved 15 minutes
I drove 1 hour 40 minutes just to see her for 15. The most powerful minutes in my life. I walked in and immediately could not breathe , here was my baby, my rock thru rays critical days, my daughter who has suffered so much pain in life. It killed me to see her on the same machines I was so frightened of with Ray. I knew what everything meant on these machines.
She laid there so peaceful yet so broken. The nurse wanted me to sit I just couldn’t I had to touch her. Check her body like I did when she was born. I checked every limb and every finger
I kissed her hand, her cheek and I cried but then I could hear her voice saying Mom please be strong so I stopped and I prayed over her broken body. The nurse in the room had tears in her eyes. I went into prayer warrior mode !! Fear had no place in that room or in my mind. I claimed victory . I met surgeon after surgeon. My daughter was very critical and I had to fight to not let fear creep into my mind.
My reason for writing this is to tell you MIRACLES still happen daily, there is no better advertisement for the kingdom of Heaven than MIRACLES !! you don’t have to be someone with a title, you don’t have to have a big job or be looked at as someone important , YOU already are God thinks we are the greatest thing. We are important to him !! God will use the low of the lowest to bring glory to him. He loves each and every one of us.
I truly believe standing my faith and praying over my babies, I healed them. God rewarded me for my strong stand in my faith in HIM. Doctors requested a meeting on my sons status
They told me there is nothing more they can do for Raymond and wanted me to sign papers to remove life support. Can you imagine !! I was sitting around a board table with every doctor who was on board with rays care and they told me he only had a 2 % chance of every waking. I looked at them with a strange face and something arose inside my belly anger arose I said WHATTTT !! That is your science talking MY GOD says differently You do whatever you have to do to keep my son alive do you hear me !!!
These same Doctors said to me ( Ms Gould at the time, you are right only God can heal and save your son) < that night Rays stats were starting to change immensely
My son was literally frozen for 2 weeks to keep intercranial pressure from rising, His skull was removed to give the brain room for the swelling so he didn’t stroke.
All his numbers people were coming back, miraculously his body was turning a picky color instead of seeing the blood pooling halfway across his body. God was moving right in front of our faces. The Neuro Intensivist were shocked !!
My Daughter was rushed immediately into surgery upon arrival and being checked out, after this first surgery was completed each surgeon that worked on her called me ( there were 8 at once in this state of the art surgical suite she was in) 2 Cardiologist, Vascular, Trauma surgeons, many trauma orthopedic, maxofacial surgeons , hepatologist ( due to lacerated liver)
Each and every one of these Doctors said to me and my husband can attest Mrs. Maxwell I am a doctor of Science but I have to tell you something of a serious higher power took place at the scene of your daughters accident. I hate to say this but April should not be here she is here for a reason. Her thoracic Aorta tore she should have bled out at the scene. He said I have never seen this in the history of me being a trauma surgeon, her case is being used daily.. Her body miraculously created and encapsulated this tare and it stopped her from bleeding out at the scene
This just doesn’t happen. They also said for the impact and damage to her car she DOES NOT have a head injury or spinal cord injury that is rare !! All of these Doctors I prayed with not knowing any of their faith but they allowed me. One of the surgeons actually made a comment to April about her mother lol !!
With all that took place and I know you must have seen the pictures of her car, and know her car was on fire and glass everywhere Aprils face was never even cut, burnt, or bruised
Very strange but not to me GOD was ever present at the scene. It was orchestrated by his holiness, in fact an off duty paramedic fireman behind her, a trauma nurse behind him and a few seconds behind them an ambulance that was not even dispatched !!
There are signs everywhere my friends open your hearts and eyes and let God prove to you his goodness

Love you all for your love and support throughout the years it has kept me standing upright

Love you all

Carol

With the coronavirus epidemic my son's home has been quarantined . I am not able to visit my son at all for 2 weeks !!
I am full of anxiety over this.
All therapies have stopped physical, occupational and speech. These are what keep my son acclimated and most patients with brain injuries.
All day rehab facilities are closed also. So any change in his daily routine affects him immensely.
Please keep my Ray in prayer and myself . I pray in Faith not Fear
Thank you 💜
