Education

At the age of tweny-seven, I was pregnant with my second child. I decided to go to sleep early because I

had a severe headache. I awoke the next morning and the headache was worse. I attempted to walk;

however the left side of my body did not want to participate. My oldest daughter alerted my mother and

we rushed off to the hospital. Upon arrival I vomitted and seized. After the seizure I was able to

comprehend and reply to the staff's question. I was given high doses of anti convulsive medication,

however, I had another grand mal seizure. The Radiologists through a CT scan discovered a large

intracerebral hematoma. Brain surgery was recommended by the Neurosurgeon. And for the safety of

my child's life as well as my own the craniotomy and C-section surgeries were performed simultaneously.

The baby turned out to be a healthy 3 pound 10 ounce baby girl born on the same day as her brave and

beautiful big sister. I was in a coma for about two days. When I awoke I did not recall being pregnant

and was paralyed on the left side. I few days later I moved to a rehabilitation hospital where I learned

how to walk again. During the ordeal my mother remained calm. She is strong in the Lord. She had

immediately called our pastor and a few other prayer warriors. They all stood in the corridor of the

hospital as the Neurosurgeon counseled them of poor prognosis. However, my Obstetrician also was

strong in the Lord and told them that "medical science did what it could, and that devine assistance would

be needed for her ultimate healing". And my mother know doubt shouted praises unto the Lord! I was

truly blessed. I feel that the Lord used this to bring me back to Him.
