When my husband had a road accident, they took him into ICU and in the middle of the night as I sat by his bed all the monitors start to beep and alarms went off, nursing staff rushed over and had to resusitate him in front of my eyes, that was my first step to becoming a Christian, thankfully he pulled through,it was a long journey.
On my way to work, I began coughing up blood suddenly and I could not stop doing it. I spent the week on a hospital ward where the patients were terminal.
Waiting in the computer sciences department at Warwick University to see the final results of my degree and whether or not I would be called in for a "Viva! (Oral exam for when they are undecided which grade to give you).
When I found myself speeding toward a mountain side when hit by another car on the freeway. Luckily, by something or another, partly the guard rail - I was spared.
Yes! Thankfully. He just couldn't get out of the city and he didn't have a cell phone at the time. There were many families in the same boat. We were the fortunate ones. It was a terrifying waiting period.
When my daughter was diagnosed with scarlet fever. Scared me half to death. My Mother threw me out the front door as I had never had it, but while she was posting the quarantine signs I snuck in the back door and stayed with my girl. By then it was too late and I had already been exposed. I never got it either....and she healed well.
One year ago when we sat in the doctors office and he told me and my wife that she had APL Leukemia and she needed to go into the hospital right then or she wouldn't survive.
Everything around me that day was like I was in some fog or another world. I was so in shock.
Yesterday my Trey and I had to run our son to the ER. Someone had left the tide Pod things down and he ingested part of one. I was scared to death. He is fine now though, acting like his normal little self.... I think i earned a gray hair.
Almost 5 years ago when my oldest daughter, 20 yrs old at the time, got really sick. We went to numerous Doctors and 2 different hospitals. They all told her she was faking and blew her off.
After 6 weeks of this, I drove her to the ER again. This time, she was seen by an Angel of a Doctor. There were 2 procedures done to her in the first 2 days, but she continued to decline. Finally, Dr discovered the root cause and scheduled an emergency surgery. Before they wheeled her in for surgery, the Doc asked my wife and I if we had final arrangments in order for her. I never felt more hopeless in my life.
She is fine now and pregnant with her second son. But that is when I really, REALLY knew fear.
He ended up finding out he had diabetes, and had an angioplast... so it was a blessing, in disguise.
