[FeelGoodThoughts @feelgoodtale]

For the last 9-months, my wife, Brooklyn has been pregnant with a very sick baby boy. Three or four months ago, we learned that the baby had severe hydrocephalus. Back in the old days, hydrocephalus was called, 'water on the brain' - too much brain fluid. Ultimately, we were referred to Cincinnati Children's Hospital, where we were told by several of the most highly regarded fetal specialists in the country that his condition was dire. The baby's condition was 'off the charts bad'. It was so extreme that the specialists stopped measuring and monitoring his fluid level because, at that point, it didn't really matter. The MRI's were sickening to look at.

We were told, pointblank, that there was over a 90% chance that the baby would either die shortly after birth or have such severe cognitive impairments that any quality of life would be hard to imagine. We had a meeting with palliative care regarding the use of life sustaining measures and had detailed, awful, and emotional discussions about the ethics of when we might need to remove or cease such measures - which would result in the baby 'passing away peacefully'.

Brooklyn relocated to Cincinnati and lived in a hotel close to the hospital - in case she went into labor. I commuted back and forth. On July 8th, Brooklyn did indeed go into labor. Literally, 15 minutes before they wheeled her back to start the C-section, we had another meeting with doctors regarding the use of a breathing tube and at what point we might need to remove that tube and let the baby go to Heaven. Guess what? The baby came out crying - which was the sweetest sound I ever heard.

In a nutshell, Charlie Schnarr stayed in infant intensive care until yesterday - when we all came home. He seems to be a normal, beautiful baby doing all the things that babies do. He has mild ventricular enlargement, but we can deal with that with checkups.

How did this happen?!

The doctors said, 'We do not have and cannot come up with a medical explanation for what we've witnessed here'. Somehow his brain found a way to naturally clear the blockage or re-route the fluid that was causing the oppressive back up of brain fluid. During the last week, I heard the words, 'divine intervention' and 'miracle' more times than I could count. Nurses with decades of experience and esteemed, nationally admired doctors were flabbergasted but jubilant. Because of the domino effect of friends, family, clients, colleagues and even strangers praying and asking others to pray for us, I do not doubt that there were thousands of people praying for us.

I'm a practical person that certainly believes in science and medical technology, but I absolutely know, from the bottom of my heart, that God was involved in this. I give ALL of the credit and glory to Him. Prayer is positively powerful. God is real, and He still performs miracles."

If you watched enough TV years ago, this room might look familiar.

What TV show are we in?

[bob shaffer @buckeyeshaff]

16.....each hole is both front and back of the shirt which would total 12....plus the neck, the sleeves and the bottom.

There will be 10 other players on the field with Watson and 49 others suited up...they have no control over who the QB is....you don't have to cheer for him..but don't boo....that's classless for the other players...

[Cleveland Sports Talk @CLEsportsTalk]

Regardless of if you have tickets or not, what’s your opinion on the Week 3 reception Deshaun Watson gets if the Browns start the season 2-0 on the road? #Reply

[bob shaffer @buckeyeshaff]

@MaysaDiye Easy...second hand on clock....

[bob shaffer @buckeyeshaff]

@HawkEmDownChris Not even close....Jim Brown....!!

[bob shaffer @buckeyeshaff]

@uscfan981 On this list only Nick Saban and Urban Meyer won national championships with 2 different schools.....I would elevate Meyer to 2nd on the list.

[bob shaffer @buckeyeshaff]

@TheEXECUTlONER_ Correct call. The runner does not need to make contact to interfere. In the video the runner definitely impedes the fielders ability to make a normal play on the ball. It is the runners responsibility to allow the fielder a normal path to the ball. The runner should have stopped

[bob shaffer @buckeyeshaff]

@nut_history I wouldn't even let him run the bases....I don't care if it cost my team a run....he'd be at the end of the bench and he'd either change or he would be playing for someone else.....who is raising this kid....have you no shame....

[bob shaffer @buckeyeshaff]

Sign that kid up....great catch with no regard for his body...!!

[Dudes Posting Their W’s @DudespostingWs]

This kid deserves way more hype for this catch.

Home run ball coming in, chairs in the way, other guy blocking his view, and he just fully lays out and makes the diving grab.

[bob shaffer @buckeyeshaff]

@coachzblair10 That's so elementary....down in foul back in fair....down in foul so you're not struck and therefore out by a fair batted ball and back in fair so if the catcher is trying to pick you off his throw is more difficult because he must throw around or over you....

[bob shaffer @buckeyeshaff]

He's lucky he's playing now. When I played the opposing team would have retaliated and it wouldn't have been with a gesture. This is so bush league, if I'm his Manager I make an example out of him.

[pardo🧸 @Hardpard]

holy fuck i’m in TEARS

[bob shaffer @buckeyeshaff]

@sagesteele Absolutely disgraceful.
