Chip's Story

Hi everyone. As many know my family and I lost one of our miricle kids almost five years ago. This is how my story goes. My wife and I were building our home in 1992 outside of Johnstown Ohio. One morning I woke up in a squad on the way to Mt Carmel East. I had begun to seizure and for the next ten years could never really be told why. At the same time my wife and I were told we could not have any children. Was the doctors wrong. We have four miricles kids. Alyssa (14), Jason (12), Danielle is in Heaven and Kailyn is 9. On August 19th of "03" I was bring our four kids home from Westerville and seizured two miles west of our home and past our house. We went through a telephone pole and the car rolled 3 or 4 times and we stopped in a group of pine trees. Danielle and I were both Life Flighted and the other three kids were transported by squad to Children's. Danielle did not survive the accident and is up in Heaven greating all the new arrivals. I was able to baptise Danielle just three months before the accident. In "04" I believe I was to get my primary doctor to give me a name of a christian seizure doctor. He only knew of one and I began going to him. On the third visit my wife and I were talking to him and we found out I had been on 13 of 15 medicines to stop the seizures. He sent us to a new doc in town and this began a new walk. I was tested and the tests showed were the seizures were starting from. It came down to the fact I could have the surgery and hopfully stop the seizures. At this same time I found out I wa...Expand for more
s being dropped from my hospital ins. as of the end of May in "05" The specialist sent us to the surgen knowing we were running out of days quickly. Our first appointment was May 20th. Because the surgen was no longer at Mt. Carmel (now at Riverside) and the specialist is at Mt Carmel. He could not get into Mt Carmel for 2 to 3 months and the other doc could not get in quick enough to Riverside to help with the surgery. Well God was IN Control because I had left temperal surgery on May 26th of "05" and now off most of my medicines and seizure free for almost three years. I regained my drivers lience and now working for God any where he wants me. I was told I would be maybe 90% back to normal, After the surgery I was claiming those old Ivory Snow words. I was going to be 99.99/100 % back to normal. A friend call while I was still in the hospital and after sharing the numbers with him he told me, "No Chip start claiming 115% back to normal". It has been a long road that at times haven't been easy. I have learnd more and more each day of my Life that I have to trust and know with all my heart that God IS in Control. Be Blessed! 5/14/09 UPDATE I will have been seizure free and off ALL my seizure medicines as of the 26th. of this month (May 26th. 2009). 8/16/09 I have taken a step not to just sit around and do nothing. I daily thank God that He saved myself and my other three children from the car accident which is coming on 6 years the 19th. of this month. The "Y's" may never be answered though we need to keep moving.
