Being believers in the power of prayers,s they turned to their faith and blocked any demoralizing thoughts. Krista's documenting the next events was nothing but a miracle and posted to Facebook on July 16th.

"I know this is long, but it is incredible and needs sharing," she said, "the love my grandparents share, continue to make me cry." She explained the mass in her grandmother's colon was confirmed by two more scans, a dye test, and failure in colonoscopy due to what was obstructed by the form.

As the family started praying immediately, David seemed to be praying harder for his darling. Krista says that her grandfather spent hours in church daily in prayers. Then the unexpected happened on the day of the surgery.

"On the day of the surgery, they started with a laparoscopy," Krista says, adding, "but they didn't see anything! So, they decided to go into her colon and look, and the mass was gone" She was adding that Loretta had to stay in the hospital a bit longer to ensure that she was excellent.

The wait was the hardest for David, whose fear of not seeing his wife again drove him nuts. Krista apically filmed Loretta's return home."Hey girl," said David "Hey, baby! Your boss has come home." Was Loretta's response David started crying with happiness and, indeed, relief. The story got aired at ABC News segment.
