God Created A Miracle For Me

26 Jun

GOD, Jesus Christ and his angels spared my life in what can only be called a miracle.

April 13, 2010 I was in a horrible motor vehicle accident a large farm truck I call it a (semi-truck hit) full of cow manure slammed into the passenger door of the vehicle I was sitting in.

I was flown by emergency helicopter to Harborview Critical Care Hospital in Seattle, WA with life threatening injuries; I remember praying and asking GOD to let me live, I was scared I would die.  My injuries can only be called a miracle from God to be alive, God is great, God creates miracles and I am living proof of his great work.

Injuries:

Three surgeries and blood transfusions in two days as I was dying

Eight broken ribs right side some in three places

Four chest tubes inserted in-between the broken ribs

Collapsed lung - Difficult to breathe

Grade V  kidney Tear – Stint Installed and removed

  • Grade 5: Shattered or devascularized kidney, ureteropelvic avulsions, complete laceration or thrombus of the main renal artery or vein

Broken collar-bone 

Three large pelvis screws - Pelvic bone shattered three large screws surgically installed

Things I am grateful for:

I am most grateful to God for his love, strength, mercy and miracle to save my life and provide me with the opportunity to recover.  I am very grateful to the team of doctors and nurses that worked on me as they saved my life.  Several surgeons told me I am a miracle and blessed to be alive. One doctor asked me if I believed in God and I quickly told him about deep faith in Jesus Christ. I was in intensive care for at least 7 days and the hospital for 12 days.  Finally I could go home but once I got home my life was no longer the same as I had no ability to do anything without help and twenty-four hour care in our home not set-up for a person in a wheel chair.

I am grateful to all of the people in my life that helped with our farm, my husband and a close girl friend and her close friend stayed with me day and night in the hospital taking shifts to never leave me alone in the hospital.  Food was brought into our home, prayers, cards, calls, text messages, flowers, balloons and so many visits and prayers.  In the middle of trauma God created a unique support system for us one only GOD could create.

I was unable to put any weight on my right leg or walk confined to the wheelchair for almost three months I slept in a lazy boy chair with pillows propping me up for at least four months and then the hard work began, physical therapy moving from the wheel chair to the walker, from the walker to the cane and then finally I could walk on my own.  I am grateful for my relationship with Jesus Christ as I do not believe I could have physically taken the pain without Jesus holding my right hand.

It is my hope that sharing this event will help you believe in Jesus Christ our savior for all things.  I have a gorgeous sign in my home a gift given to me by my close friend “Expect Miracles.”   I believe that nothing is too big for our God nothing…. This is my testimony for Jesus Christ and his mercy and grace.

        Donkeys smile not mules…. I have a horse, mammoth donkey and mini donkey. It’s ok everybody thinks my big donkey (mammoth donkey) is a mule he is indeed GOD’s biggest breed of donkey. We grow them big in the Pacific Northwest, Washington. Smile…

        Ok, but actually the :-) was my smile–not meant for the mules (although it’s true the thought of mules and donkeys both make me smile).

    I’m stunned! I bow low to our Savoir when I hear stories like this. They are uplifting and encouraging!!! He truly is real and loves us. I’m happy to see how well you’ve come through this. Thank you for sharing this personal story with all of us. Me, I respect you even more. Some might have questioned their faith, you built on it. :)

      Without Jesus Christ I could have never ever made it the pain was just too great and the loss of my physical abities has been great. Still I live with a grateful heart and a beleif that one day things will get easier. Every day is painful it is all part of living with three large screws in my pelvis.
