All that is within me cries

Yesterday I found out that my dad is not doing very well health-wise. He has chronic kidney disease but he looks healthy and still acts very young! My mom read me his lab results over the phone and my heart sank. He is very close to needing dialysis. It's scary how close. I wish I did not have all this medical knowledge sometimes because it makes things harder just knowing too much. His doctor told him that he had never seen a patient with the kind of lab values he has and look so good. I know this is a "God-thing" for sure. I know the Lord can heal him completely-He healed me when was very young of a problem with my kidneys! I was going to have to have surgery but my mom knew I was healed. She took me off my medication (something that is very out of character for my mom!) and took me to the doctor. The problem was completely gone. I had a kidney ultrasound about 6 months ago and my kidneys are still healthy. I know He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above anything we ask or think!
