Hi Netters, I'd like to share in the JOYnet something that happened during my vacation last month. Something where the good God showed that he cares for His beloved. It was a Saturday morning around 6 O'Clock, when the phone rang and I picked up the receiver. It was a relative of mine telling, "Bella aunty was found fallen on the side of the road and is now lying unconscious in our house'. Bella aunty is my wife's grand-aunty. I woke up my friend (who also is my wife's sister's husband) and we went to where Bella aunty was lying. She was all cold as she had been lying out in the cold for over an hour. She is around 75 years old was on her way to church (she was a frequent church goer). She could not even speak. We took her to the nearest hospital and there on examination we found that she had an injury at the back of the head, an impact of the fall. The nurses gave the necessary first aid and the doctor adviced us to keep her there under observation for another 3 hours to check for possible concussion symptoms like vomitting, etc. 3 hours went by and nothing happened. She did not regain conciousness and so the doctor adviced for her to be taken to the Trivandrum Medical College. We did so and the doctors asked for some tests to be done - ECG, BP, etc. She was then transferred to the ward, and a day later the doctor adviced for a CT Scan to be done to check for possible damage to the brain. The CT scan confirmed that she had 2 broken nerves. The doctors said that they could not operate owing to her very old age and so prescribed a number of medicines. For almost 2 weeks she lived on just medicines and Glucose with no improvement. Later her body could not intake anymore glucose and also the nurses found it hard to trace a vein to inject any medicine. She was discharged from the hospital and the discharge sheet said "Discharged against medical advice" which is a formality by doctors there to keep off from any responsibility in case the patient dies. Our parish priest was taken to the hospital bed to give her the 'avastha' her last sacrament. On hearing the prayer of the priest my friend felt inside him that Bella aunty would survive. The sacramental prayer was powerful. The Medical College had referred the patient to our local government hospital. When checking with the local hospital and showing the discharge sheet to the doctor there he said that there was nothing they could do and so they could not accept her there. With no other choice we took her home. All medication was stopped. We started feeding her with liquid food like gruel, coconut water, and medically adviced additional liquid nutrients. She had a rosary kept in her hand and 2 to 3 days after coming home we noticed her moving the beads one by one. Later she could open her eyes and recognize people and talk, but was still very weak. Now she talks with no problems, remembers well and body parts are functioning well. The only thing she cannot do now is get on her feet. By God's grace we feel that in a couple of weeks she will be back on her feet. I thank our good God for the care He has been bestowing on Bella aunty and on all of us whom He loves. Our Father is full of love. He is love alone. Praise be to Him forever.
