Hey there, friend!

In this powerful follow-up to Episode 21, I reunite with my brother-in-law Dave Caruth, this time with incredible news: Margie is home! In a stunning turn of events, the woman doctors said wouldn't survive is now recovering in her own home after nearly two months battling what began as influenza B.

This episode features multiple family members sharing their perspectives on Margie's miraculous journey: Linda (my oldest sister) from across the country wrestling with God like Jacob, Courtney (Margie's daughter) speaking prophetic words despite her own fear, Dave maintaining vigil through the darkest hours, and Margie herself—discovering for the first time what everyone went through while she was unconscious for nearly a month.

From influenza B to pneumonia, COVID, sepsis, septic shock, liver failure, kidney failure, dialysis, and blackened toes doctors wanted to amputate—Margie faced an "unprecedented" recovery that medical professionals couldn't explain. One nurse said she'd never seen anyone come to rehab in such bad condition and progress so quickly. The wound specialist marveled that Margie kept her toenails when "almost everybody" in her condition loses them.

The turning point? Bold, shameless prayer that refused to accept anything less than "100% whole"—even when medical professionals prepared the family for the worst.

This two-part episode offers hope for families facing impossible medical situations and demonstrates the power of persistent, specific, audacious prayer that refuses to settle for less than God's best.

May you witness God’s miracle in your own life today, my friend.

Always, Anna
