Hey all,
I just wanted to send an update on my daughter Mykal. I received much prayer on my family's behalf from this forum and would just like to update some of you. In case you didn't know Mykal my oldest child suffered a sudden cardiac arrest on May 23, 2013 at a KC Royals game. The short of it is that she was miraculously brought back 100% after being dead for 10 minutes. CPR played a major role and while her 5% odds of survival was a miracle, her recovery was even more astounding. We were told a few months after her episode that brain damage would have happened seconds after loss of oxygen and that we would need a full neuro workup on her brain. She did show some memory issues and delayed response issues at that time which is common with a survivor of SCA. The first year was really rough financially and emotionally. Year 2 was a very big stride in a positive direction and we are blessed and humbled. Mykal has taken to music and has incredible abilities. She was blessed to open for a couple of music stars last year as well as sing a song she had written on the Grand Ole Opry. Now fast forward 2.5 years later....almost 3, she had her 2 year post neuro work up before she graduates high school this spring. We had all day of testing where he gave here the standard IQ test amongst other tests. Her IQ came back a 132 which the DR. said she can actually qualify for MENSA. She also scored a 27 on her ACT and super high in math and visualization. I type this not to brag on my daughter, but to say a sincere thank you to all that prayed and took the journey with us. Thanks. While I have long sold most of my collection off, it was nothing compared to having my child restored 100% then some. I will be posting some stuff soon on the BST to send her to Nashville this fall to Belmont University. Thank you all again for the prayers and thoughts.
Sincerely,
Jason

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

I will never forget the night you called and you and Dyann were very scared and you asking Brandy and I to pray. It scared me too! We were over at my in-law's house that night and we asked them to pray as well. They knew it was very serious by the look on my face. After hearing what was going on, we honestly were planning a dreaded visit to see you (if you know what I mean) because it didn't look like she was going to pull through. Thank God that didn't happen and thank God for her recovery.
However, I am a little jealous....she beat me on her ACT. I only scored a 23!
