11 years ago my grandson of 2 years fell into the swimming pool and drowned. They did CPR on him for about 20 minutes and on the way to hospital he took his last breath in his mothers arms.
When reaching the hospital a woman came running out of the ER, took him from my daughter and said to her, “start praying God is in control.” At that stage he was dead for 41 minutes. She phoned to tell me what happened and said, “please pray mom, but he is already dead.”
On my way driving to the hospital I told God to take away this cup as we are not ready for this. I had a fight with my Father and told Him I will not accept this. Then I took on the devil. Telling him exactly who he is and what his future looks like. I phoned Louise asked for prayer which she again forwarded to more believers. Arriving at hospital we were met by a trauma councillor who gave us as update. They got a pulse and he was in ICU they were doing all sorts of things to him and she tried to prepare my daughter and myself for what we were about to see.
Nothing, but nothing can prepare you for what we saw. He was placed in a coma. He was packed around his little body with ice to bring histemperature way down and he was on a ventilator plus so many pipes just everywhere on his little body. There is so much that I could tell you, but it would take a lots of time.
He was in this coma for 5 days when the professor said to my daughter they will be lifting him out of the coma that afternoon. My daughter said to me, “mom please pray that he will remember who I am.” She was told by the Dr that being on the ventilator he cannot speak nor make a sound and he will cry much. They started lifting him out and as he opened his eyes and saw my daughters face his little mouth formed mamma. At this stage he was addicted to morphine and he was shaking so badly they tied him to the bed and used specific drugs to ween him from the morphine. The dr said we will not know if there is brain damage before he goes to school. He drowned on the 2nd of October and walked out of hospital on the 19th of October.
To show you that God already knew what was going to happen…. the woman at the first hospital, who was visiting a friend on her off day, was the professor’ s right hand at the second hospital. She did everything that was necessary to have him airlifted. My son phoned me and told me while they were praying God said to him my grandson will be with him for a while but He will send him back. When my grandson was told long after his drowning what happened to him he said he was sitting in heaven on Jesus lap. He is 13 years old today. And going to grade 8 next year. Nothing wrong with him whatsoever. Not one day goes by that I don’t thank the Father for his life!
God is real. He loves us so much. He wants the best for us. This is our miracle and we give Father all the honour and praise.
