Removed Vocal Cords Restored
Our daughter Judith, when five years old, became hoarse very gradually, and soon she was unable to speak above a whisper. We took her to a throat specialist, then to a diagnostician and associate doctors. They removed a paploma (growth on her vocal cords), but they thought it might come back. It did grow back three times in nine months, and each time it was removed it would come back. Each of the first two times, she could speak after the operation, but the last time the growth was so large that difficulty was encountered in removing it.
When we found the growth coming back again, my husband and I decided that if the Lord wanted to take her home, it would be agreeable with us, but we wanted to give Him a chance to heal her first. Judith, by this time, was gasping for breath and we knew if the Lord didn’t heal her soon she would finally choke.
I placed the handkerchief you sent on her sleeping garment as instructed. Judith gradually improved, her breathing became more normal, and she did not gasp. Still, she could not talk above a whisper.
We went through the prayer line in your meeting in Saskatoon and the Lord revealed to you that she needed a new pair of vocal cords. And that is just what happened, for Judith started to sing “Only Believe” out loud for the first time in a year and a half. She began talking more and more and even sing in “Sunshine Choir” at church. She finds it easier to whisper, but we are encouraging her to use her voice more and more.
