(a quote of his neonatal doctor)

At his yearly checkup in Galveston, the head of pediatrics exclaimed, 
"This is a truly a MIRACLE BOY." 

 I asked if I could get their statement on videotape for an article we're sending to the "It's a Miracle" TV program. 

They said, "Of course ..."  Pictured here is Hollis with Dr. Sally Robinson, head of Pediatrics at UTMB-Galveston


As usual, doctors came "out of the woodwork" at his annual visit to see this "miracle boy."  Some just stood at the door and stared at this one-time patient that they had heard so much about while therapists ran him through a battery of tests to grade his cognitive and motor skills.  They seemed surprised that he tested like a 4-5 yr. old on some tests. 

(Quite a far cry from the brain-damaged vegetable that the original neonatal doctors said he would be, eh?  Am I ever glad that we did not "pull the plug" and "let him die" like they recommended!)

Then, Dr. Robinson, who, from her professional concern has also developed a real fondness for Hollis, said she had some bad news for us.  

She said, "Unfortunately, you will have to email us from now on ... Hollis is too healthy for us ... he will never need to come back to the hospital for checkups again!"

The bad news was she wouldn't get to see him as often!

That kind of bad news is GOOD NEWS!

Following is a chronicle of Hollis' stay in the Intensive Care unit of UTMB's hospital in Galveston, Texas:

Dear Friends,

The first couple days everything seemed normal, with Hollis alertly looking around, smiling and beginning to breastfeed.  By the third day, however, he began running a fever, sleeping a lot and generally was disinterested in nursing.  Sensing something was wrong, the doctors became suspicious and began looking for a bacterial or viral infection.  At one week old Hollis went to the intensive care unit.  Shortly after, they thought he had a mysterious viral infection, then encephalitis or meningitis, then settled on a diagnosis of Disseminated Neonatal Herpes Infection.

WHAT ABOUT
 GLYCONUTRIENTS?

Part of this miracle story is the miraculous results we had giving Hollis a natural, non-toxic nutritional supplement, which is a blend of eight saccharides, whose discovery and subsequent clinical testing have proven to be one of the greatest "breakthroughs" in medical science in decades (it received the American Naturopathic Medical Association [ANMA] - Biochemistry Discovery of the Year Award in 1996).  These particular glyconutrients have been found to be essential to the glycoproteins which are part of every cell of the body for optimal, disease-free health.

After a month in the Infant Special Care Unit (ICU) during which the Lord caused Hollis' liver to begin working again and spared him from certain death, UTMB moved him to the ICU of a different wing of the hospital (the children's hospital) for 2 more months where he received more special care.

It was during this time that we received special permission to begin giving Hollis this special blend of glyconutrients, after supplying the team of doctors with the scientific research, signing a waiver, and having a leading doctor in glyconutritional research, Dr. Reginald McDaniel, personally talk to the staff.

Within a few days we began noticing remarkable changes.  Hollis' body changed from the jaundice-looking yellow to normal skin color, and the tremendous swelling of Ascites began to recede as the liver recovered.  The results were seen in a sonogram of his liver (see "Goodbye?  Hello!" at left regarding the "mysterious sonogram").

The Lord used glyconutrients to complete his healing!

And did you know ...

... while continuing to give Hollis these glyconutritionals he has not had even one sick day with normal childhood illnesses since we brought him home from the hospital at 3 months of age!?  

This again is due to God's grace and also these food-based "glyconutrients," which the Lord brought our way through
some friends in our church.  Our family now continues to use it daily for optimal health and disease-prevention.

The potential value of these "sugars" (carbohydrates), which has been recognized for over 100 years, is now just receiving world-wide attention through a new book published by Random House entitled, "Sugars That Heal" by Dr. Emil Mondoa.  

He points to an array of medical conditions including various Cancers, Lupus, Leukemia, MS, Muscular Dystrophy, Cerebral Palsy, Arthritis, Fibromyalsia, Polio, AIDS, Down Syndrome, Auto-Immune Diseases, Herpes I & II, Diabetes type I,II, Hepatitis-C, AIDS and more that been greatly helped or whose symptoms have been completely eradicated by taking glyconutritional supplements---natural, non-toxic saccharides. The results of thousands of cases nationally have now been medically-documented.  You can hear the audio testimonies many of these people at www.milliondollarstory.com

FOR MORE INFO on this "breakthrough" discovery in medical science with an "Introduction to Glyconutritionals"  and medical & scientific ("disease-specific") documentation go to GlycoScience.com (www.glycoscience.com) OR to the web site of "Sugars That Heal" (www.sugarsthatheal.com), the new book by Dr. Emil Mondoa, a prominent pediatrician, just published by Random House.

AND ... if you are interested in how you can obtain some glyconutrients  
for your own needs or of those close to you,
you can also
see our nutritional home page with the company now on the stock exchange that makes glyconutritional products (click on "View Product Presentation")

This company believes that their patented formula is God's "gift" 
for those suffering from maladies that traditional medicine seems unable to cure
(they even have a non-profit "relief" organization to provide these nutritional products free to orphans in third-world countries around the world). 
You will not find this blend of the 8 essential saccharides in a pharmacy!

IN RETROSPECT:

It hardly seems possible that it has been almost 4 years since we received our little gift--Hollis--from the Lord  with great expectations---only to be told that it was impossible for him to live.

There are not words to describe the anguish and horror of such a situation to family and friends, especially parents that have to go through such a time, holding on to any thread of hope.  In this case, there was none.

But the Lord filled us with confidence that all things are possible to our miracle-working God, and that Hollis would be a bonafide trophy of answered prayer through God's grace.  The Scripture that the Lord made so real to us, (we believed He would fulfill) is 2 Cor. 1:11:
" . . .as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many" (2 Cor. 1:11)

 



And that is exactly what happened!!   Here he is--almost 4 years later--perfectly normal!

Any brain damage was totally healed along with his liver and other problems.  Two MRI's showed no damage.  Praise God!  The therapists who visited Hollis at home the first year said he didn't need them any more, for he not only caught up to normal motor development, but had advanced beyond normal skills for his age!

Needless to say, we have quite a celebration at LifeWay Church and the training center here at StraightWay  every October 16.  We want to thank all of those who have remembered Hollis in prayer.    We invite all those who have read this amazing testimony of God's grace to be conscious of the seemingly small, daily miracles that God continually does in all our lives.  And to always be thankful for LIFE, to always be PRO-LIFE, for it is precious beyond words!
