Miracles

An important milestone for Collin.  Over the last few days, the medical staff have freed him from most of the tubes and wires that tethered him to the ICU.  The word on the street here, Mom posts on Caring Bridge, is that we're leaving the ICU for the regular floor.  The tone of the post is jubilant, and just a little tinged with dread.  Her little butterfly is emerging from his cocoon, but what if his wings are still wet?  Collin's textbook recovery, so different from his earlier procedures with their seemingly endless complications, has her waiting for the other shoe to drop.  Don't stop praying yet! 
Is Collin's recovery a triumph of medical science or some other kind of miracle?  Have we stormed heaven and been heard?  I believe that something in the universe responds to us, that there's a power for good that we can use to influence the course of events.  I don't think it's a God that answers prayers according to some arbitrary criteria.
Maybe it works this way.  A single drop of water has to hit hard and long to make an impact on a rock.  A lot of us focusing together on the same goal can unleash a torrent to lift that rock right up and float it away.  Thank you Caring Bridge for bringing us together.  I found a website that's trying to prove a similar notion:  http://www.theintentionexperiment.com/
