God’s Greatness

My aunt has no idea on how to blog, so i’ll do it for her.

My family and i recently experienced a miracle. On Feb 2nd, at approximately 10pm, i received a call from my Aunt Christina saying that she was at the hospital and she had brought my Aunt Jennet to be warded, upon further questioning, we found out that my aunt Jennet was no longer conscious.

When we arrived at the hospital, what we saw was truly saddening. The first doctor who had examined her said that it was meningitis and was swift in administering antibiotics right away. When we heard it was meningitis, we gave up, knowing that meningitis is a severe condition and that not many survive. We also knew that the bacteria acts fast and within hours a patient could suffer organ failure and eventually lose their life. Fear gripped us, what would things be like if she did ‘go’? Her husband who is my uncle, and my cousin( the only child) would be so lost without her.  But we continued praying.

The next day, She worsened, they had to intubate her and ventilate. She was depending on the machine 100%. Yes, she could not breathe on her own. Doctors promised to move her to the ICU but could not as it was full. By then, we were feeling defeated… nonetheless, we did not want to seem like we had given up. We sent text messages to everyone we knew, requesting for prayers, i personally scoured my phonebook sending out text messages. By the end of that day we had hundreds, yes hundreds of people praying for her and by 6pm a place cleared up in the ICU and she was moved there. By the, She had remained unconscious for almost 24 hrs.

She was in the ICU for more than a week, in a sedated comatose like state, depending on machines, to keep her going. After that, the doctors came with great news, saying that it seemed like her body was responding well to the wide spectrum antibiotics and that they would slowly let her regain consciousness and wean her off the machinery one by one. They did however tell us to be ready for any sort of brain damage that may or may not be there after a severe condition like this.

I had been going to the hospital everyday and all i saw was my unconscious aunt just laying there. One evening, i had gone there as usual and i was greeted by her, sitting upright, and talking (although not loud enough, but audible words) and i thought, what a great GOD. i was overwhelmed by emotions but i held it in as i did not want to cry in front of her. From then, she improved… so quick that she stunned the doctors.

She eventually was moved to a normal neuro ward, received more treatment and was discharged. She was in the hospital a total of 16 days out of which 10 days she lay unconscious. She walked out fine, without any brain damage and fully healed.

She has gone for 2 follow ups appointments so far, and doctors have given her a clean bill of health. During her 2nd appointmet, a Dr Rishi walked up to her and said, ” You may not remember me, but i was one of the doctors who attended to you when you were ill. Honestly, us doctors had expected you to ‘go’ , there was nothing we could do and we were basically just waiting. You may think that it was us who saved you, but NO, whoever saved you, it was definitely not us… Surely it must have been GOD who did” ~~~~ gives u chills doesnt it?

When doctors and nurses gave up, even when we had seemed defeated, the ultimate physician did not give up on her. And when HE heals, HE heals completely.

I have God the Father to thank for this, and the hundreds of people who joined  myself and my family in prayer.

This is my testimony.
