“I said
to my son’s
sickness”
My son suddenly became ill and he
was diagnosed with encephalitis which
is an acquired brain injury. From this
brain injury my son suffered paralysis
on the left side, Tourette's, and speech
impairment. He was seven years old
at the time and he saw death. When
I say he went to hell and came back, it
is because at this young age he kept
repeating to me these words, mom
"I'm dying" which a child at that age
normally doesn't speak or say, he
repeated this to the nurses and doctors
as well. They immediately knew it was
very serious. Once they connected him
to the equipment they saw his system
was failing and losing all of his body
function. He was in surgery for hours.
The doctors asked me before the surgery
if I wanted the surgery done, they
informed me that I had to sign a waiver
and they said with the surgery my son
may die and without it he will die, it was
STOP SUFFERING|06
a very critical condition that he was in.
Before I signed I told the neurosurgeon
that I will sign the permission form for
the surgery, and that my son will not
die during, nor after the surgery but he
will come out alive and well, which he
did. The surgery took more than eight
hours. When he came out of surgery he
had paralysis, speech impairment, facial
paralysis, Tourette’s and seizures which
he didn't have before. I did not accept
the situation because he was not born
with sickness but he was healthy. After
participating in the meetings, I started
to see changes. My son began to heal
and today I can say that he is completely
free from all sickness, my son is now 22
years old. The doctors said that he had a
great possibility of death and that was
at the age of seven which was 15 years
ago, so it is proven that our God is great.
