WheelsOfGrace.com | Volume 15 Issue 3 | 23 Meanwhile, the ICU waiting room was filled with family and friends crying out to God for Tina, including Dave and Tammi. Dave adds, "And we're praying the whole time." The next day when Tina's vital signs were back to normal, her doctors need- ed to determine if she could breathe on her own. They decided to take her off the ventilator. Brian whispered in his wife's ear, "The doctor needs to know that you can breathe on your own. And I told them that you are superwoman. Can you show him that you can breathe on your own? Her chest went ... When I looked back at the doctor and he goes, 'That'll work.'" Tina was able to breathe on her own. And once she was fully conscious, Dave placed a pen in her hand and held a notebook for her, "And she just started making marks, and I couldn't tell what it was, and I was almost shaking. I was fixed. I just held the book steady because I didn't want it to drop." Brian recalls, "We figured out that she wrote I-T-S-R-E-A-L. 'What's it's real?' And I go, 'The pain? The hospital?' She's slowly nodding her head. Eyes are closed. She's fully vented. She's moving all this. No, and then my daughter goes, 'Heaven?' And she goes – she nods yes." Dave remembers, "And as soon as someone said Jesus, a peace came across her." Brian says, "I just looked at Dave and said, 'She's going to be just fine.'" The doctor warned that she may not be able to speak for a while, however… Tina had a lot to say immediately. "I just wanted to share that I saw Jesus face to face and the unbelievable rest and peacefulness of what was experiencing was Jesus standing there with His arms open wide, and right behind Jesus standing there was this incredible glow it was the most vibrant and beautiful yellow." With her cracked sternum and ribs on the mend, Tina was discharged from the hospital on February 16th, just four days after suffering a cardiac arrest. Without any brain impairments. Today Tina is training for a half marathon and enjoying life. "God is real in my life. Jesus is real. Heaven is real. I know that God can use every situation to make us who we are in Christ," says Tina. All things work together for good! God is real in my life. Jesus is real. Heaven is real. — Tina Hines " G O T T A T E L L T H E M A B O U T D I S !
