After spending a total of 6 years in and out of hospitals of my life,. A month here, two weeks there, alway's at the time Christmas was approaching. I knew what to look forward to. A lengthy hospital stay... Ten years in a row , I spent my Christmas Holiday's in a hospital.
Last September around my birthday ( which is the 21st ) a few more days and I will see 55, something I never thought would happen. I got sick. My asthma, started acting up on me, then I caught a cold and , good old Pneumonia set in...October 1st came and I had no choice, I went to the hospital and was admitted immediately. I had 5 Doctor's start working on me, and none thought I would make it. Well, the days just passed and each day I got worse... A massive lung infection took hold of me.. I can't take antibiotics , so I was in a real mess... I had to have something, so the Dr's put me on 1500 mgs of Levaquin, the strongest antibiotic they have. I was getting shots in my stomach every hour and had 13 different Iv's going... Steroids, massive amounts and breathing treatments every 20 mins. My veins had collpasped , so my Iv's were being put in my feet and next would be my head...
The Dr's just kept praying... Each day I had a pastor come to my room... I was so weak, yet insisted on being taken to the chapel, I prayed... I wasn't so sure this time I would make it. I have been given last rights, 13 times in my life... Maybe this would be the time... No angels appearing yet.
Finally one night, I awoke to a beautiful angel standing next to my bed... I said is it time to go home, She just smiled, touched my hand and left.... The next day, I felt a little better, not great, but, I could feel a difference...
Each day I started getting better, then it came... The Dr's called the pastor, I was dying... He gave me my last rites, I told him to save them, It wasn't my time.. I wasn't going anywhere....Another angel appeared and then 2 more, I thought, no way... My work here isn't over, I am not going anywhere... They just sat with me all night... The next morning a nurse came in and said. I saw something very strange last night. I peeked in to see if you were ok, I swore I saw an angel here, I said, you did, 3 of them... She just smiled and left..
Well, days passed into weeks and then a month and then finally the Dr came and a nurse came to my room. The one who saw the angel...He said, I would never have believed you would be going home... The nurse said it was her visitors.... I just smiled.. The Dr said you must have a good friend upstairs... I sat up in bed and said of course, I am one of his angels.. He said I believe you! He said, I would have to go home with oxygen and would be on it the rest of my life. I would never be able to work again, and I said you are wrong... Well, I went home and the weeks passed and I got better. One day I took off my oxygen and swore I would never wear it again...
I went to My Dr's for a follow up, She informed me I had 1 year to live... Well I am still here. then last month , they said I have around 6 months... I said only God knows when my time is over and it isn't here yet... I feel much better now... I started work , a few weeks ago, not much of a job , better then nothing.... I am working.. I am so thankful for that... So now I feel better after working and I refuse to let myself die, not just yet...
I look 15 years younger then most of my friends my age,, I still have a great body and a sharp mind.... .. I thank God daily, so you see Miracles do happen....
Blessed Be! I feel I was deeply Blessed and alway's will!!
