Learned that yesterday vividly!! I really didn’t like the lesson of the lifetime I experienced. My son who has seizures was flying home from the Philippines the first incident was I thought he got stuck in Beijing which got me all panicked. However he had made it safely back but was boarding his connecting plane for home and got stuck at Newark airport because they said he didn’t buy the ticket, even when it was shown to them. Regardless after 48+ hours of traveling he ended up getting a new ticket and things were ok for a moment. Then the other shoe dropped. He had a seizure and went out to the door and took two steps into the bridge that connects to a plane. That is considered the tarmac by the way. The police were called then the ENT came, he showed them a letter he has from his physician detailing what happens when he has seizures. The ENT and police decided that they would force him to go to the hospital, by way of threatening jail or hospital. He got a little upset over that after all his travels. They took him to jail, the people at the jail thought they were in the wrong for doing this. He then had another seizure and they took him to the hospital. The charges were dropped!! As his mother I was completely panicked over the thought that this could have happened in Beijing the fact that it happened here gave me immense comfort actually. I knew that things would be dropped, just didn’t know exactly when. I was not without hope although it was pretty bleak with a possibility that he would have to stay in New Jersey or New York to appear at court. I know that Heavenly Father was there for me and for him too. Protecting us and helping us get through it. He will be home this evening. Although he is a grown man of 28 years  I told him he was grounded. No more flying for him!!! At least not by himself that is! Honestly the story of the man who asked the Savior, help thou my unbelief is helpful when you don’t have much hope and if you ask for that He will provide!
