I wonder ....
• Wednesday, August 27, 2008 - Hospitalized
I haven't been around to blog lately. I was taken to the ER last Thursday evening with severe swelling in my feet & shortness of breath. After all the tests, labs, x-rays & what have you, they determined that the left side of my heart was failing due to a blockage. They admitted me & did a bunch more tests. God was present & He showed me. How ever, fear got the best of me more than a few times. The most important thing to me was being able to see my children .... how ever, that wasn't going to be easy because our tags are expired on our car & it's not running very well. So .... a long distance friend made it her project to find a way for my children to be with me. She called taxi services but because of price, size of vehicles etc, that wasn't going to work. She then got a hold of a local church in my area, explained the situation & they told her that they'd pick my husband & children up & bring them to see me. I can't explain what that did for me.
I kept thinking I was going to die .... that fear attacked even more when I found out I was going to have an angiogram. I'd heard so many horror stories about them ..... people having heart attacks & strokes in the midst of them. I have never been so scared in my life!!! I was so scared that I'd written a letter to my husband & children & intrsucted the nurses to give them to my husband if I died. The same doctor that found the blockage in my heart, did the angiogram. He said that not only could he NOT find the blockage, but that my heart looked great. The flesh might think that that there's a scientific answer .... but I really believe that there was divine intervention & healing. I am thankful to be alive!!!
It's ironic .... after my dad died I had many occasions where I'd close my eyes & think it was ok if the Lord called me home. I'd even asked him to a few times. Now here I am in the hospital thinking I'm going to die & actually informing God that He'd have to take my name off *that* list because I had a husband & children that needed me. I was begging God to let me live ..... and .... He did.
God moved in so many different ways .... including a total healing. I left the hospital on Monday after noon with oxygen (to help with sleep apnea) & an order to rest for 72 hours. |
