On May 25th this year, my husband took me to the
emergency room with a severe headache, fever, muscle aches, and high
blood pressure. My husband also told them that I had been bitten by
ticks. Because of the headaches, they did a CAT scan of my head, which
revealed two growths. I was so stunned when we were told this that I
couldn't respond to the doctor’s questions or what she was telling me.
All I could do was imagine them having to drill in my head to remove a
tumor.
While I was there, they gave me fluids and took blood, which showed my blood
platelets were very low and definitely dehydrated. The doctor wanted me to get
an MRI to get a deeper look, so I was sent to another hospital. There, they
hooked me up to an IV, and I think I was given pain medication. Three of our
seven children and their spouses and two grandchildren were in the room with my
husband and I. Most are believers in this Message and were praying for me. It
was 9PM when our oldest daughter called Brother Collins from her cell phone. She
wanted him to pray for me, so she put him on speaker phone and everybody
gathered around my bed and held hands as she laid the phone on my chest, and
Brother Collins prayed for me.
About 2AM, I was taken in for the MRI and brought back about 3:30AM. About
9:30AM, the radiologist came in and said the MRI is clear, then repeated it. I
was still too sick to realize I had been healed from the growths, but my husband
cried like a baby. Praise the Lord! I am so thankful for everybody that prayed
for me. My symptoms: severe headache, back pain, fever, dehydration, no
appetite, and low blood platelets were caused by a disease from a tick bite
called Ehrlichiosis. It took the tick bite to have the tumors discovered. God
works in mysterious ways. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
