CHAPTER 1
The Other Side of the Miracle
…. A “new” drug had arrived on the market and the doctor was convinced it would help my pain. There was one concern however; it appears that this drug had been known to cause strokes when it first came out. The doctor assured me that “now that it has been out awhile,” I would be fine. After returning home, I spoke with my husband Mark about it and we began to pray for direction about this alleged migraine reliever. A few days later, Mark came to me and asked me to please not take it. He had a dream that I took it and died. I laughed at him and said that was silly however deep inside, I wondered, was God speaking to Mark in this dream?.......
CHAPTER 6

I was in shock! I felt like I was in a surreal nightmare and I would wake up at any moment in a cold sweat. However, the nightmare would become worse. I began to hear whisperings of how my wife was having a nervous breakdown, she didn’t really have a stroke! “Allergic to chemicals, how far fetched!” Even so- called reputable doctors told her that it was “all in her head”….
