God Kept Me Alive
For 15 days I had a ruptured appendix. It happened on May 3rd and the pain was pure hell. By the time I got to the hospital, I had an abdominal Scan. The result showed that I had Acute Appendicitis, Ovarian cyst and fibroid.
This was too much complicated for our doctor to handle. I was referred to Lasuth or Gbagada General Hospital that same day. I was told to come the following morning to Lasuth. The next day I went to Gbagada General Hospital and I was taken to the emergency unit. However, the surgery was postponed because they felt that I was no longer in much pain as reflected in the scan result. I was booked for the Clinic day on Monday. By Wednesday, the hospital was already on strike.
All this while, I was on antibiotics and the blood test results I did showed my white cell was overblown as a result of infection. I was Septic. My PVC was also very low. I was anaemic.
Anyway, I went home thinking I was coping with the antibiotics. I was not functioning normally because I lacked strength, appetite, good sleep etc. Amazingly, I was able to minister during the Mother’s Day celebration on May 13th. God supplied the energy. On the 15th I had a Mental Health Awareness seminar at Oshodi with all the counselors under Education District V1. I went because I was the initiator and convener even though I was having serious discomfort. I didn’t know I was a living corpse.
The second day, May 16th. I knew I had come to my wit’s end. However, I still have another leadership summit organized for Pastors and workers at the fellowship where I belong at Ikoyi.
It was after the program that my father and mother in the LORD saw me and were alarmed. I was looking very pale. From the fellowship ground, I was taken to the hospital at Lekki VI and was admitted immediately. The white doctor wondered why I wasted two weeks before coming to the hospital. They did a fresh scan on me and the results were similar to the first one.
I was booked for immediate surgery but my PVC was 7.8 then so I can’t go in that status. I was given blood and other medications to boost my system. Finally, I was fit for surgery. By now, lots of prayers have gone into the heavens. The doctors were confused, they didn’t know what to meet. Two specialist doctors had to be on the ground. The surgeon and the gynaecologist. I was opened up finally on the 19th. It was then that it was discovered that my appendix had ruptured since May 3rd and I didn’t know. It was a pure miracle to the doctors because they couldn’t explain medically how I survived the ordeal. Medically, in a similar case, it must be attended to via surgery between 24 to 72 hours. It’s regarded as a case of surgery emergency.
God kept me Alive. After the surgery, my rate of recovery was miraculous.
Another miracle was that none of my organs or heart was infected as in the normal case. The doctors saw that the poisonous pus from the appendix was caked close to my ovary. The doctor said it was a pure miracle that it didn’t mix with my blood or affect my organs which have a high rate of mortality.
Mhmm. I’m Alive and well today because GOD Kept me. Mercy says NO to the devil’s plan of death. Praise God with me.
