*taps the mic*...this thing on???... Good.... OK...you all know now that on November 26, 2014, I went to the chiropractor for a routine adjustment and left in an ambulance because of a dissected veterbral artery which led to a stroke in the left cerebellar area to the brain. Now... Here is what you dont know... 1. Because of the dissection, it wasnt just one clot that went to the brain, it was a showering of clots that landed very close to whats called the Circle of Wills. This is the area of the brain where cerebrospinal fluid enters and exits the brain. 2. This type of injury to this particular artery is usually fatal 3. Had the clots gone into the circle of wills, it most likely would have been fatal or severely damaging to the brain at least.... Ya pickin up what Im puttin down yet??..... Read on... Because of my particular back issues I am not a candidate for surgery. My only options were chiropractic care and prayer. I have been praying not only for healing not only for my back but for healing that could only be accomplished through Gods touch. (Ya see, because I have 2 torn discs, discs do not receive blood flow, there for do not heal) I asked God on countless occasions that he would allow me, and I quote : please allow me to be a living testimony to your power, Grace and mercy. Clear as mud? Ok... Let me do some filtering for you... Has God healed my back? No (well, not yet) BUT....and this BUT is definitely bigger than mine... God ANSWERED my prayers!! I am writing this to you tonight as a LIVING testimony to Almighty Gods power, Grace and mercy! CT scan today...just 10 hours ago revealed......drum roll please.............. Gray-white matter differentiation intact, and NO... I repeat NO evidence of territorial infarct. Did you catch that?? NOOOO evidence of stroke on the brain, NOOOO evidence of artery dissection!! You cant deny that folks...the trauma I sustained is usually, potentially fatal!! When I was lying in that ambulance, asking the EMTs if I was going to die, and they didnt answer me, I knew it was bad. When the EMTs were asking me questions to keep me alert, I knew it really must have been bad. The only thing I was able to do was pray and at this point it was Jesus, save me..dont call me home yet. My childrens faces were flashing through my head, my hear was crying out to them, I love you what I was for sure be the last time and I knew they couldnt hear me. I prayed, Lord, you will be done, but please let me me able to tell my children I love them, one last time I get to the hospital, my husband and 2/3 kids were there waiting on me. My sister brought Spencer up shortly after. I couldnt open my eyes and was determine to stay awake, although I was begging the doctors to put me to sleep. I was vomiting so hard, non stop I could barely catch my breath. I wanted to go to sleep and wake up and it be all over. Doctors kept telling me, we cant sedate you right now ...then in between the barf bonanza I hear a doctor say stroke and ICU my thoughts immediately were...oh shoot (but I used a more colorful word). I kept praying, asking Jesus to let me see and tell my children I love them.... I get to ICU, my family is there, sister,husband, children, mom and dad were on their way... I pulled what I had left in me at the time to squeeze each childs hand, open my eyes and tell them I loved them. From that point my prayers were simply Jesus, carry me I knew Jesus was going to carry me, one way or the other...it was going to be either back home to my family or to my eternal home in heaven. Was I scared? ...unimaginable fear.. Was I ready to die? In all honesty... No..., but who does. I feel like I still have work to be done... But I know ever one of our days are numbered and God has a plan for every person on this earth. Even though, if it had been in Gods plan to call me home that day, even though I was scared down to the core, I had that peace that God and God alone is capable of providing. I dont tell you all this to preach... I tell you all this because I am proof that Jesus is alive and still in the business of healing...ALWAYS in the business of answering prayers. It may not always turn out the way YOU want but it is whats in YOUR plan which is never bad. Jeremiah 29:11 for I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plan to prosper you not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future. And I am here to tell you..my hope and future is in Jesus Christ. You can have that same hope and future... You just have to believe! If you need help with that hit me up! Thank you all for your continued prayers, love and support! I still have healing to do, Gods not finished with me yet!
