“There was a woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years. She had suffered greatly at the hands of many doctors and had spent all that she had. Yet she was not helped but only grew worse. She had heard about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak. She said, 'If I but touch his clothes, I shall be cured.' Immediately her flow of blood dried up. She felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.” (Mk 5:25-29)
On January 30, my husband went for carotid surgery. What would have been a routine two-hour procedure ended up with complications, and I almost lost him. He woke up after surgery, but he became unconscious and unresponsive when his breathing tube was removed. Measures were immediately implemented to prevent the occurrence of a stroke. He was brought back to the OR for a second round of surgery.

I felt total anguish and helplessness about the unknowns of a life-changing event. The need to absolutely surrender everything to the Almighty Father was the only choice for me. Loving thoughts of my husband playing the piano with my grandson kept replaying. I cried my heart out and asked, “Lord, will You ever allow me to see them play the piano again?” About 30 friends and family poured into the hospital’s waiting area while a prayer chain was quickly activated through social media, phone calls and text messages. Soon hundreds of people were interceding and praying for him. After further tests and another 4 hours of unconsciousness, he finally woke up. The medical team could not figure out what went wrong. They all admitted that my husband gave them the biggest scare of their careers. My nephew, who is an OR nurse, later testified that he saw my husband’s body lying on the operating table. He had a glazed look in his eyes and appeared like he didn’t have a soul.
My husband later admitted that he had a near-death experience. During the time when he was unconscious, he felt his body float up to the ceiling. Then the room became empty and very bright. He was enveloped in warmth and felt a lot of love and an overwhelming sense of peace. He said it was a very beautiful feeling but was short-lived. He then heard the doctors wake him up. Other physicians who later visited him shook their heads in puzzlement. I could only attest and witness to the miracle that FAITH HEALS. Just like the bleeding woman, I reached out to the Lord with faith in my heart through everyone’s intercessions for my husband to be healed and be brought back to us. I give thanks to the Lord for giving my husband the gift of a second chance at life.
