I would do anything in my power to get my child what they needed. God gave us free will and brains to be able to take our child to the health professionals when they need to go. Where were they when god handed out common sense? I can’t believe that these parents watched their child suffer and did nothing. I would do anything in my power to get my child what they needed.

You see, about 3 weeks ago my husband, big sister, and I headed straight for Dallas to meet my twin sister and older brother. They had gone to visit my dad and step mom. My dad, was very sick and we could not figure out why. We assumed it was the flu. He would not eat anything except a little grape fruit here and there, and he was drinking about 36-42 ounces of water an hour. He was so weak that it was hard for him to sit up and tell us what he was feeling. Hoping Dad would get better, we all headed back to south Louisiana where we all live. We all had jobs and kids to tend too. The next day, my step mom calls us and lets us know that Dad has been admitted into the hospital. It was bad enough he was in critical condition, and he did have to stay in ICU. Believe it or not, my dad is a diabetic. Normally, everything is pretty good, until, he developed Diabetic Ketoacidosis. When the doctor's informed our family that we almost lost our dad, it was pretty hard to take. Thankfully, the doctor's knew how to treat our dad so that he could get better. My brother, sisters, husband, and myself are all church going, strong faith Christians who pray, ALOT. I believe that God is still in the miracle business, but I also believe that he doesn't want people to be foolish. I believe God has graced this the world with brilliant minds in order to save lives and help people. Maybe the miracle those parents were waiting for was in the head of some man or woman in a white lab coat....

Please, if you use the word GOD here, spell it out?? It's a personal thing for me too...

Science will outrank superstition any day of the week. And if there was a god, this sort of thing wouldn't happen.

Now, next to Jesus Christ, Paul was the greatest healer in the New Testament but he couldn't heal himself. He had Luke, a physician, travel with him on many occasions as documented in the Books of Colossians and 2 Timothy. The Apostle Paul also instructed one of the disciples, Timothy, to drink wine instead of water for his stomach problems.
