Out-of-Control Disease Vanishes Without Explanation

4-year-old Noah’s severe health problems defied doctors’ understanding. Days after going into the hospital, he was healed with no explanation. Read Transcript


- The thought of losing Noah was

one of the most terrifying things

I've ever walked through,

but I knew that if I was losing him

in the hands of Jesus,

that's the safest place for him to be.

- [Announcer] As an infant,

Noah Stolts had several ear

and viral infections.

His parents, Lindsey andDalton, grew concerned.

- He kept getting sickwith a lot of viruses,

ear infections over and over

so our pediatrician recommended

that we get his immune system tested

and that was the first time we found out

that Noah indeed had an immune deficiency

and that viruses that he was catching

he never built immunity up to

so he kept catching the same things

over and over.

- I just remember my wifecoming to me at different times,

she's like do you thinkhe's ever gonna get better,

like is this ever gonna change?

- [Announcer] As he grew Noah continued

to struggle with numerous health issues

and doctors failed to find answers.

At age four a new test onhis immune system was ordered

and the results showed it was fine.

Doctors then told Lindseyit could be something worse.

- I remember the day that she called

and said his immune system was perfect.

I had known that our optionswere his immune system

or an auto immune disease,

which there's not a cure for, or cancer

and so when she ruledout his immune system,

I remember the day I picked him up

from pre school that day

and I just watched himthrough the window for a while

and just tried to gather myself

because I knew somethingwas seriously wrong with him

and it was worse than we had thought.

One night as I was tucking him in bed,

he looked at me and he said,

"Mom, you know you can't make me better."

And he said it so matter of factly

and I said, "I know, butI'm just trying to help."

And he said, "Only Godcan make me better."

I didn't know what he was saying

and I feared losing him on a regular basis

just because I didn't know what

was going on with him

so the peace that he hadthat he was gonna get better

also caused a lot more fear in me

somehow that he needed help right away.

- The Lord had really given me peace

so we continue just to fix our heart,

or minds on Jesus.

I really believe that theLord's gonna heal our son,

but I told her I believe it's gonna get

much worse before it gets better.

The only thing I knewhow to do was to pray

and then as well just to bea source of encouragement.

- He came home one day from school

and he was having a lotof pain in his heart,

down his arm, and he started breaking out

in what looked like hives

or rashing on his torso

and so I was watching him really carefully

and I called his doctor

and they said give him Benadryl

and see if it settles.

If it doesn't he needs to come

to the ER right away.

- [Announcer] Noah did not improve

and was taken to the hospital

and admitted to the ER.

- He just spiraled outof control very quickly.

It really was the grace of God

that we went to the hospital that night.

The rashing that had been on his torso

spread over his entire body

and even his face was swelling

and he began to throw up violently

and they said if we don't get him stable,

we're in big trouble

so our number one priorityis to get him stable.

- If I didn't know that that was my son,

I wouldn't recognize him.

That's a place that Iwouldn't wish for anyone.

- I remember crying out to God saying

I feel like the very gates of Hell

have come against my child.

Like look at him.

And I just felt the Holy Spirit saying

I know what that feels like

because his son really hadcome against the gates of Hell

and overcome and sothere was peace in that,

that there was nothing wewere about to walk through

that he couldn't relate with.

- We believe in the power of prayer

and we believe that God hears our prayers

and so as we were crying out to God

in desperate prayer,

I was having hope thatGod was gonna do something

and do what only he is able to do.

We enlisted an army of people to pray

alongside us, to pray for us,

to pray with us,

and I know that people were interceding

before the Father right along with us.

- The doctor came in and he said

I can tell you everything that's

off on his blood work,

I cannot tell you why.

He's not consistent with anything

that we've dealt with before.

The doctor had said if he does not

eat this morning we're gonna have

to put in a feeding tube

and that morning he woke up

and he asked for a cracker

and then another and then another

and all the sudden he was eating again.

Slowly each day Noah wasactually getting stronger

and there was an army of people

and friends praying for him

so now they were tryingto figure out okay,

he's stable, what just happened.

- [Announcer] By thefifth day in the hospital,

Noah had fully recoveredwith no explanation

from the doctors.

The Stolts family pointsto the power of prayer

for their son's healing.

- We were so overjoyedthat Noah was recovering

and so rapidly, in fact,

the doctor said I've never seen a patient

deteriorate so quicklyand rebound so quickly.

- That season, those fivedays in the hospital,

was just a constant battle just to

remember the truth of who God is

and to not doubt him inthe middle of the storm.

- I marvel at what God's done in Noah

every single day

and it is a picture of Jesus

because to this day I can't tell him

what happened to him,

no one knows what happened to him,

so I know beyond a shadow of a doubt,

God healed him.

- My name is Noah.

Hey everybody.

I got sick and my skin was turning blue.

Then I was at the hospital for five days

and then God healed me.

- I just have seen God'shand of faithfulness

and provision and healing in Noah's life

that has taught us so much,

just that he can be trusted

and things don't always go the way

that you desire for them to go,

but God is with you in the midst of it.
