 <\/p>\n

My friend Kayla Finlay is a walking, talking miracle. Having healed from cancer and lost children to miscarriage and watching another\u00a0 of her five children face challenges with a condition called Gardner Syndrome, which is a form of cancer, it truly amazes me that she is able to remain ‘sane and vertical’. In addition, she has a healing practice in which she serves both two legged and four legged clients. Not only that, but she had written a book called Twelve Bowls: A Teaching In Consciousness which encourages readers to nourish their souls as well as their bodies. A more recent accomplishment is that two of her stories appears in Bernie Siegel’s newest release A Book of Miracles.\u00a0 The way that unfolded is a miracle unto itself and Kayla shared it this past Sunday at a service at Circle of Miracles.<\/p>\n

She offered the words of Walt Whitman as a prelude to her presentation.<\/p>\n

Why, who makes much of a miracle?
\nAs to me I know of nothing else but miracles,
\nWhether I walk the streets of Manhattan,
\nOr dart my sight over the roofs of houses toward the sky,
\nOr wade with naked feet along the beach just in the edge of the water,
\nOr stand under trees in the woods,
\nOr talk by day with any one I love, or sleep in the bed at night
\nwith any one I love,
\nOr sit at table at dinner with the rest,
\nOr look at strangers opposite me riding in the car,
\nOr watch honey-bees busy around the hive of a summer forenoon,
\nOr animals feeding in the fields,
\nOr birds, or the wonderfulness of insects in the air,
\nOr the wonderfulness of the sundown, or of stars shining so quiet
\nand bright,
\nOr the exquisite delicate thin curve of the new moon in spring;
\nThese with the rest, one and all, are to me miracles,
\nThe whole referring, yet each distinct and in its place.
\nTo me every hour of the light and dark is a miracle,
\nEvery cubic inch of space is a miracle,
\nEvery square yard of the surface of the earth is spread with the same,
\nEvery foot of the interior swarms with the same.
\nTo me the sea is a continual miracle,
\nThe fishes that swim–the rocks–the motion of the waves–the
\nships with men in them,
\nWhat stranger miracles are there?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

When Bernie’s first book called Love, Medicine and Miracles was relased\u00a0in the 1980’s\u00a0Kayla was drawn\u00a0to it\u00a0because of her own cancer\u00a0diagnosis. She felt that\u00a0Bernie was speaking directly to her with the words he had penned. She contacted him and they maintained a\u00a0from a distance friendship over the\u00a0years. When she was writing her book, she emailed Bernie to ask if he would write the cover endorsement. His initial response was that his schedule would likely not allow for him to meet her request. Persistence won out as Kayla assured him that it would likely only take two hours to read, he agreed. Two and a half hours later, she received the emailed quote from Bernie that graces the cover of her book. Then within short order, he contacts her and tells her he is completing a book with miracle stories submitted by others and he asks her to contribute.\u00a0 She inquires about deadline and he responds that now is the time. Kayla rises to the occasion and that night sends in two stories that are now part of this wondrous book that takes readers on a miracle ride.\u00a0 A miracle indeed.<\/p>\n

Although this is not one of the stories in the book, \u00a0Kayla shared a true to life tale about an experience she had in which earth angels appeared at the perfect time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Everyday
\nAngels<\/p>\n

Recognizing
\nthe Angels among us<\/p>\n

In late December my son, who has a rare disease called Familial Adenomatous Polyposis\/Gardner Syndrome, needed to get to a local hospital for a blood transfusion due to internal bleeding caused by complicationsof his \u201cquality of life altering\u201d disease.<\/p>\n

He has been blessed with numerous miracles within the contextof a very serious disease for which presently there is no cure.\u00a0 We are no strangers to hospital settings since his diagnosis 13 years ago, but we have learned to make sure we have the most knowledgeable and experienced doctors in the field of Gastroenterology in our corner.<\/p>\n

We usually go to Fox Chase Cancer Center, and now more recently Temple University Hospital where we have followed his doctor during his relocation. However, when it became apparent my son required an immediate transfusion, it made more sense to take him to a local hospital where he had received his last transfusion only months earlier.<\/p>\n

Upon his arriving at the Emergency Room, the attending Gastroenterologist encouraged my son to agree to have some invasive scopes, something he would normally do with his specialist in endoscopic surgery in Philadelphia. When you have a rare disease, you are always a curiosity to local doctors, so it\u2019s not unusual for them to solicit your case. As they persisted, my son\u2019s logic won out and he felt it made sense to have the scopes tended to while he was already admitted.<\/p>\n

One of the main reasons for my son\u2019s medical stability in what is usually an unstable diagnosis, is the wisdom we have learned about making sure he gets his care at a Medical Center of Excellence and is tended to by doctors who are the best in their field and who have experience with this rare disease, which is a form of hereditary colon cancer.<\/p>\n

However, my son is now an adult, and I respect his choices regarding his health care and surveillance, so I deferred to his inner voice, even though my own was telling me to discharge him from this local hospital and take him to Temple University Hospital to his specialist.<\/p>\n

To share the cliff notes version, he informed the local hospital doctors that he has special needs when it comes to anesthesia.\u00a0 He has the reverse reaction to many sedatives and through trial and error, has learned there is a specific combination of sedation that is the only one that works well enough to permit a safe, invasive scoping procedure.\u00a0 However, on this particular morning in December, when he was down in the procedure room, the doctors joked and laughed about his \u201cspecial\u201d sedative needs, stating, they would use what they always do for other patients and that he would be fine.\u00a0 No matter how my son insisted, they dismissed his concerns and information, and finally just did it their way.\u00a0 True to form, the sedatives didn\u2019t work, and they had to abort the procedure mid-stream, which was not beneficial to my son in any way.<\/p>\n

When they finally brought him up to his room from recovery, he was \u201cout of it\u201d for hours.\u00a0 It was during
\nthis time that I decided to find the cafeteria in order to get some tea and some lunch.\u00a0 Seeing my son in this state
\ndue to a botched procedure was taking its toll, and I thought a walk and some nourishment would help to ground and balance me a bit.<\/p>\n

Being unfamiliar with this particular hospital, I asked directions to the cafeteria, which turned out to be in the basement in rather an out of the way location.\u00a0 I know I was feeling tired and stressed, mostly from feeling like I had failed my son by not convincing him or insisting that he leave this hospital and have his procedures done with his specialist in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

As I was in the elevator heading down to the cafeteria, I suddenly felt very much alone.\u00a0 When the elevator door opened, at first glance it felt like I must have been on the wrong floor.\u00a0 As I paused for a second
\nbefore walking off the elevator, I noticed a petite African woman who seemed to be dressed in housekeeping garb.\u00a0 She
\nlooked at me, stopped what she was doing and immediately walked over to me,asking me (with a foreign accent I couldn\u2019t identify) if she could help me<\/p>\n

I told her I was looking for the cafeteria, and she took me by the arm, and said, \u201cI\u2019ll walk you there myself.\u201d\u00a0 There was such kindness and love radiating from her that seemed out of place in this hospital after our negligent procedure of the morning.<\/p>\n

As we turned down a long hallway, she called out to another woman who was dressed in professional business clothing and who was walking across the end of the hallway. She said, \u201cWould you mind showing this lovely lady to the cafeteria for me?\u201d\u00a0 I thanked her and she told me to \u201chave a blessed day.\u201d<\/p>\n

When I reached the intersecting hallway, I was greeted by a radiant African American woman who immediately reached out and hugged me! She exclaimed, \u201cI know you!\u201d I searched her face for some clue as to who she might
\nbe, wondering why I wasn\u2019t recognizing someone who very clearly thought she knew me.\u00a0 I suggested perhaps we crossed paths the last time my son was admitted for a blood transfusion, but she insisted that she \u201cknew\u201d me in some other way.\u00a0 Then she looked at me and said quietly in a very gentle voice, \u201cI know you. You know God.\u201d<\/p>\n

In my increasing awareness that something very unusual was happening here, I agreed with her that I did indeed \u201cknow\u201d God.\u00a0 Then she turns to me as we are walking towards the cafeteria, and says, \u201cI met a woman the other day here, and she gave me a coin which had a picture of a holy woman on it.\u00a0 It is your face! That is how I know you!\u201d<\/p>\n

At this point, all I could do was mutter that we all have a likeness of ourselves somewhere in the world, and then I thanked her for walking me to the cafeteria.\u00a0 She turned to me and hugged me again, and as she pulled away, looked me directly in the eyes and said, \u201cI love you. I hope your son gets well soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

As I entered the cafeteria, I felt as if I was transported to some world other than the hospital I was in. I barely recall what I ordered, orhow long I remained there.<\/p>\n

I recall wanting to get back up to my son\u2019s room in the hopes he had come out of the fog of incorrect sedatives and we could talk about getting him out of this hospital.\u00a0 The entire walk back to his room, all I could think about was the surreal greeting, care and love shown to me by these two women, at a time when I was feeling so alone.<\/p>\n

In fact, I typed an email on my cell phone to my dearest friend telling her all about this very unusual experience.\u00a0 By the time I had arrived back to my son\u2019s room, he was beginning to awaken although being very groggy still.\u00a0 It was then that he began to recall and tell me the story of his traumatic intersection with the doctors and the botched
\nprocedure.\u00a0 I told him that in the morning, we would get him out of there and I would take him to his specialist.<\/p>\n

The next morning I arrived bright and early to begin the discharge process.\u00a0 We had filed a complaint with the director of Pastoral Care, who when he heard the story, expressed his concern about how unconscionable it was for doctors not to listen to the patient.\u00a0 The attending nurse was being rude, because she knew we had filed a complaint.\u00a0 We knew we needed to gather up all of the pertinent medical records from the moment he was admitted to when we were leaving the hospital, and we were told the records would be waiting for us down in the medical records office.<\/p>\n

When I offered to go to retrieve them, I was told that someone would bring them up to my son\u2019s room.\u00a0 By
\nthis time, my friend had arrived to give us a ride home. He was standing at the foot of my son\u2019s bed talking with him, while I was packing up my laptop.\u00a0 Suddenly, I hear a woman\u2019s voice say, \u201cIt\u2019s YOU! And this must be your son?\u201d I turn around and find myself face to face with the woman who walked me to the cafeteria and who declared that \u201cshe knew me.\u201d<\/p>\n

She sets the papers down and walks up to me, throwing her arms around me with a hug that rivaled most others, while telling me she loves me, and offering blessings of health for my son.\u00a0 Anyone observing would have thought we were long, lost sisters who had just found each other!<\/p>\n

In this huge hospital, with hundreds of employees, this \u201cangel\u201d found and touched me twice in two days. There are no words to describe the love, caring and compassion that flowed from both of these women who reached out to me.\u00a0 Truthfully, I have never felt such radiant love from total strangers before.\u00a0 Even as I type this, I am reminded that there are no such things as \u201cstrangers.\u201d\u00a0 Once you meet someone, they are no longer a stranger.<\/p>\n

I never got these women\u2019s names.\u00a0 I asked the nurses at the desk who they were, and none of the nurses knew.\u00a0 I was relieved to have my son and dear friend witness at least the second greeting, for there was a part of me that almost felt as if my experience down in the basement of the hospital while seeking the cafeteria, might have been a vision of sorts.<\/p>\n

During what was a traumatic and negligent hospital stay, I was touched by angels and reminded of the healing power of a smile, an outreached hand, and a kind word.<\/p>\n
