2 years ago today I was scheduled for a doctors appointment. I had previously been having shortness of breath periodically the month before went to the urgent care and was prescribed an antibiotic for bilateral pneumonia (a lung infection that affects both lungs, it occurs when the air sacs in both lungs become inflamed and filled with fluid causing difficulties breathing….Now mind you, I initially went to the urgent care for pain in my right leg. I had been dealing with these varicose veins I’ve developed overtime from working on a job that required a lot of standing for hours at a time.

Quick back story about me. I’m a former athlete who has never been sick, hospitalized, no surgeries or pre-conditions nothing. I think at this point I may have been to the emergency room for a fever or taking my kids for something. But never had I been sick for anything serious at this point in my life.

Needless to say the antibiotics were not working and I was getting progressively worse. I went to Grady emergency room because by this time I was having chest pains along with shortness of breath. They admitted me immediately, stabilized my breathing and did chest x-rays. After about 5 days they found it wasn’t bilateral pneumonia however I did have severe scarring in the lungs along with pericarditis (fluid and inflammation around the heart). They also informed me that my condition is related to an autoimmune disease but cannot detect or diagnose me with what type. I was sent home with an oxygen concentrator and oxygen tank along with more antibiotics and pills than I could count and this all became quite overwhelming, it’s all new to me. None of it made sense, I was confused and angry but I said “Well Lord, I believe there is a reason for everything and I know you are in control so i pray that you keep your hands on me”.

2 weeks went by and I began to get progressively worse and the shortness of breath had gotten to the point where I would walk to the bathroom and would be out of breath. I kept saying well my appointment is June 15 let me just hold out till then….God was warning me then but I didn’t take heed. June 13 around 9am I woke up breathing really hard and tried to sit up in bed and immediately I started whizzing. My mother heard me and screamed “Are you whizzing!” She turned my oxygen all the way up and called 911. By this time I can’t breath and my heart was beating so fast I could literally see it pumping out of my chest.
 

Ambulance gets there my oxygen is at 69% and heart rate around 178. They rush me to Piedmont Fayetteville Hospital were I was admitted and stablized for a short period of time before it happened again and I was rushed to ICU where I was incubated…I was hospitalized for over a month God had pulled me through and he kept his hands on me like he promised. I am a living witness that God can and will save you.

On my journey and road to full recovery All believers today join in with me In agreement and intercessory prayer for me. I’m praying full and complete healing, Grace and Mercy, Restoration , Discernment through the Holy Spirit, and financial breakthrough. I’m praying for God to release it ALL and take back what the devil has stolen from me. We cast him out Now, I have the AUTHORITY. In Jesus Name 🙏🏾
