Dona Gassaway Mitchell is a Dallas-based author with a new book hitting the shelves right now.
‘Sculpture of a Miracle’ begins with a fever and a sore throat…
One night, three-year-old Shamar wakes up with a 101 temperature and a sore throat. Concerned it could be strep, Shamar’s mother, Faye, ensures she sees a doctor as soon as possible. After a routine check-up and a prescription, the only thing left for the family to do is wait for their little girl to get better.
Time goes by and Shamar’s condition is getting worse. Knowing there was something deeper than what the doctors could detect, Faye goes on a hunt to find a doctor who can tell her what is wrong with her daughter.
She finally finds one and is given a diagnosis that she and her family could never have imagined. Shamar has Kawasaki, a rare disease of unknown cause that causes inflammation in the walls of blood vessels in the heart. If Shamar is not neutralized within ten days, she could endure serious heart problems in the future.
Time is of the essence for the doctors to help, though knowledge of treatments for the disease is as rare as the disease itself. Hope seems to be dwindling as a miracle cure seems to be impossible to find with the passing of each day, yet the Kennel family is not ready to give up. Through love and the power of prayer, they give Shamar to God, knowing that nothing is impossible for Him. All they can do now is pray for a miracle to happen.
‘Sculpture of a Miracle: God’s Glory’ is the true story of a young child’s battle against a terrible disease, the undying will of the doctors who helped her, and the incredible loving family who stayed by their child’s side to raise her up when all hope seemed lost.
