Jack’s Winning Words 6/18/20
“Doc, thank you so much for not giving up on me.”  (Lung transplant survivor)  The patient was a woman in her 20s whose lungs had been damaged by the virus.   It was a successful, but risky, surgery.  Maybe it isn’t for a lung transplant, but more than a few people owe a “thank you” to someone who hasn’t given up on them.  A recovering addict…a wayward daughter or son…the father of the Prodigal Son in the Bible (…that Father is God, who doesn’t give up on you…and me.)    ;-)  Jack 

FROM DRHR:  The most serious issue with Thai virus is that individual outcomes are unknown. A 103 year old woman recovers and this 20 year old  has her lungs destroyed.===JACK:  I think that we're examining the tip of the iceberg.

FROM CA IN MN:  💕  your words===JACK:  It needs to be said again and again.  God doesn't give up on anyone.===CA:  Your words are a bright light that I look forward to each morn.===JACK:  There's a good-morning song that has these words, "Wake up with a grin."

FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY:  I’m deeply grateful for a husband, family and a merciful God who loves me with all my flaws.===JACK:  Flaws?  What flaws?

FROM LBP:  Wow! That is a miracle story.  Had to look that news story up. Pretty wild all that lined up to have that work out for her. As another doc noted this will likely be a rare occurrence for COVID tmt  ===JACK:  Pandemic stories aren't all bad.  You've probably experienced good coming out of bad in your life.
