This is a true story and it is about my moms sickness and her miracle healing from God
In June of 1968 she had her first convulsion. From then on she, as she said in her book that she wrote about this, "it seemed as if Satan had dipped down into the very pits of hell and had thrown everything painful and terrible on her with all his might." That is how she describes the 9 years of hell that she lived through. The first convulsion lasted about 30 minutes. She made an appointment with her doctor and when she told him what had happened he said she had had a convulsion and he suspected something had happened in her brain He made an appointment for her to see a neurosyrgeon. Within a week she was in the hospital for tests. There were questions,questions, and more questions Hundreds of x-rays,scans and an angiogram. They didn't find anything Then they decided to do an air study (there is a big name for this test but we don't remember it) That test showd her brain was swollen. The doctor said that could be anything from a virus on. He let her go home for a few days and tried her on medication. A while later she started to have siezures . She was seeing her doctor regularly and he kept trying changing medications and did xrays and an EEG each visit. These seizures did not follow any set pattern They jumped from one kind to another depending on the part of the brain that was acting up. Her head felt like it would burst from the pain all the time , in spite of the pain medication she was taking for it. In June a year later the neurosurgeon decided on surgery. During the year and half of treatment he was sure that the damage had been pinpointed. He explained it would take 2 surgeries.,one at a time with a year in between in order to give the brain time to heal from the first before proceding to the second I will not go into the details of the surgery except to say she had to be awake during this surgery and she remembers being freezing cold and a couple of times started shaking pretty badly because of the cold and nerves. She remembers thinking "Please God, help me---I can't take any more" and God was there .Everytime she cried out to him a warmness crept over her as if a nice warm blanket had been placed around her and loving arms were holding her The first few times this happened the doctor taking her blood pressure would look at her puzzled She told him God had warmed her Later when it happened again he looked at her and smiled She thinks he felt Gods presence.
The neurosurgeion was not able to accomplish what he had hoped . The damage was in the sympathatic system (The part that controls the heart lungs blood pressure and the five senses . This could not be destroyed because she could not live without it ---so maybe the next surgery would be better.
The next year was so bad they were not able to wait a full year before doing the next surgery. They went ahead and did the 2nd surgery 7 1/2 months later . The results were the same as the first.
She could not focus her eyes and had double and sometimes even triple vision. One time she lost control of her body couldn't walk, write , or control bodily functions. This went on for several weeks. Her blood pressure started collasping to next to nothing. She had lots of seizures and the headaches continually got worse. She would sometimes go for days without sleep and then sleep for days.The doctor said she was now having pyschomotor seizures, gran mal.
