Unable to bring the man through a jammed doorway, four guys took him to the roof. I imagine they peeled away the tiles, created an opening, held the four corners of an old sail and lowered the man to Jesus, who healed the paralytic. After complaining that her back hurt, Leahs body shut down from the gradual effects of a spinal cord stroke. Within eighteen hours she was in the emergency room paralyzed and unable to breathe on her own. The story of Leah, as told by her grandfather, is another story of help from four corners: the family, the church, the local community, and the medical community. Little Girl, Get Up is also a story how faith in God can be affirmed through a crisis. Leahs mother Abby spent eighty-seven days and nights in her hospital rooms, knowing her three other children were cared for by their grandparents. During the month when Leah was a patient at the Morristown Medical Center her father Peter slept in the waiting room. When told by staff he could not sleep there, he slept in his car for as long he could bear the March chill. Leahs brother Timmy, then seven, spent those eighty-seven days with Abbys parents. The four-year-old twins, Serena and Joey, spent those days with Peters parents. Liquid Church, where Abby and Peter met during its founding years, before it grew into one of largest congregations in the Northeast, offered extraordinary support. As did the community of Long Hill Township, New Jersey, and hospital staffs in Morristown and the Childrens Specialized Hospital New Brunswick, where Leah and her mom spent two months. Abby called the New Brunswick hospital the gymnastics hospital. It was where Leah learned to walk again.</p>...1314228Little Girl, Get Up8282https://www.gandhi.com.mx/little-girl-get-up/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/381933/34c978a4-8db8-4a6c-9302-b1a77248b175.jpg?v=638334470730900000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239781664291492_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_<p>Two weeks before her ninth birthday Leah Hansen, the authors oldest grandchild, spent the weekend playing basketball, practicing softball and doing cartwheels. That Monday her body shut down gradually over an eighteen-hour period when she suffered a spinal cord stroke. The next morning in the emergency room she was profoundly quadriplegic, and kept alive on a ventilator. That Wednesday a heavy wet snow fell, and when her father Peter returned home to retrieve items, he found that the cherry tree he planted when Leah was born had split down the middle. Family friend Jeff Allen then led a team of five men from Liquid Church to repair the tree, with threaded rods and bolts, ratchet straps and beeswax. We prayed for the tree, said Jeff. We prayed for Peter and Abby, we prayed for Leah. It was simultaneously sillyto be praying for a tree to liveand spiritual. I remember it being so sad, looking at the dark and vacant house, knowing why it was dark and vacant. Five years later with Gods help, prayer and heroic caregivers, Leah is a vibrant teenager, and each spring the cherry tree, with rods and bolts still in place, has exploded with a burst of pink blossoms. When I was eight, I did not understand, said Leah, at thirteen. Looking back, God had a plan. He was with me. Everything worked out better than I can imagine.</p>...9781664291492_WestBow Presslibro_electonico_aa4df031-4879-3d38-9f1d-c04c20203843_9781664291492;9781664291492_9781664291492Rick MalwitzInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/ingram52-epub-9cd673ee-9be9-4b72-a3cf-34d700f10a1a.epub2023-03-09T00:00:00+00:00WestBow Press
