'God is good,' no matter what happens

June 12, 2018 12:00 AM
When Beth Luthy was 19 years old, she gave birth to a son whose bile ducts were damaged. At 8 and 9 weeks of age, baby Michael had to undergo surgeries, and he received a miraculous liver transplant at only 9 months old. A year later, he went into a coma after a severe infection rampaged through his body. For six months, Michael's life was in grave peril. His doctors finally determined that the only way to sustain him was on a heart and lung bypass machine that required he have another surgery.
