After five years of continuous prayers for a child, God answered. Zon and Daniella Quewea of Johnson City, Tennessee were about to become parents. But their joy was tempered as Daniella experienced complications such as high blood pressure and preeclampsia. A day after delivering her son John by Caesarean section, Daniella collapsed suddenly from blood clots in her lungs. In this memoir, author Zon Quewea chronicles his wife's brush with death and her struggle to survive during the twenty-three days she spent in the hospital's intensive care unit. Quewea explores the doubts, fears, and perplexities he and his family experienced and illustrates how he found comfort and guidance in the Bible. He tells of this journey where faith and prayer were robustly tested while only a miracle of God could possibly bring relief. Honest and disclosing, 23 Days of Intensive Care: A Story of Miracles is a personal testament to the awesome power of prayer and the miracles of God.
