| In April of 2003 I lost my oldest son in an bicycle accident he was traveling over an overpass and his brakes failed to work a car hit him and draged him 200 ft from the point of impact.He never woke up he was flown to Shands Hospital in Gainsvile Fl. Where doctors said there was no hope for him.The accident happened on 04/01/2003 in Ga. where my son lived with my mother .I lived here in Fl. anyway five days after the accident the doctors asked me to let him go he was brain dead and wouldnever wake up. So agreed after much praying we disconnnected him then i was asked to donate his organs and i did.Six months latter i recived a letter stating where his organs went no names just the area where the people lived and there jobs and which parts they recived and little info on there family life.I had problems accepting his death and wondering if I had made the right decision on unplunging him. So I began to drink to help ease my pain i really didn't think i was drinking that much i went to work everyday and i partyed at night.This continued for around 2 years.Then in August in 2005 on my birthday i decided i would stay home from work i asked for the day off but my boss wouldn't give it to me so i stayed home anyway went out and drank with my friends all night,I came home after midnight went to bed filling fine but i wokeup latter with a bad pain in my foot i could not stand up i was crawing on the floor this went on for 2 days.Finnially the pain went away and i was able to walk i tried to go back to work but the boss said i needed a doctors note before i would be allowes to come back to work ,so i went to doctor told them i needed a note to get me into work and told them about the pain i had had in my foot .Just as soon as the doctor looked at me he asked me what was wrong with me i saisd my foot but he was looking at my eyes and my skin he said i had yellow jaundince he wanted to do some blood test so i let him and i went home.He called when the test came back asked me to come to his office so i did .He said i was very sick and needed to go to the hospital but i refused .He wanted to do more lab test and repeat the blood test while i was at his office so again i let him and i went home he called me with the results it was my liver profile that he had been testing again he told me that i was very,very sick and needed to go to the hospital but i kept refusing because i had no insurance and really did't feel sick just tired and not much energy,he just set me up another appointment to have labs done again in his office for 2 days latter so i went back had the labs drawn and came home.I called the next day to check on the labs he advised to go to the hospital but i said no. 30 minutes after hung up the phone he sent the county sherifs officer to my house who told me if i didn't go on my own he would put me in his patrol car and take me agaist my will.So i went to the Er and was examined by a team of doctors and had a lot of test run ,/that's when i found out what had everyone so worried i was told i had complete liver failure and there was nothing they could do for me my liver ststs were in the 6,0000s and should'nt have been more than 53 .They didn't admit at that time because i had no insurance they refered to interal speaclist i made the appointment for 2 days latter as soon as walked in the door the doctor sent me back to the hospital and they admiited they told me i was going to die because there was any cure or anything they could do for me except give me iv fluid and a multi vitiaman my liver was 4 times the normal size it should have been at this point i could not put any thing in my mouth without gaging and being sick at my stomach i lost a bunch of weight muscle mass ect: I laid in the bed cried and prayed so scared i was going to die .Then on the second night i was there in the hospital it was about midnight or latter i was laying there in the hospital bed i looked up at my room door and in front of my door i saw two men and a casket one man at each end .I was so scared for i was wide awake i thought i was dreaming but i was awake.the next morning i asked the nurse's if someone passed away that night my room was in front of the nures's station but they said no and no one had saw the men or casket except for me.I was discharged from the hospital latter that day doctors told me they could do nothing more for me so i went home and prayed,cried walked the floor read my bible kept my bible by my side and got ready to say my goodbyes that was what i thought that my life would be over soon but God the angles somebody up there decided it wasn't time for me to go yet see when i left that hospital walking out the door on my own two feet i promised God i would never touch a drink again and that's been almost 5 years ago and I have never touched another drink I did'nt go to AA or anything i just trusted in god and he brought me though it my liver amazed my doctors and everyone it returned to normal size and all my blood work returned to normal and it continues to be normal now.My doctor said i was his miricle patient he had never seen anyone so close to dieing have complete recovery of all liver fuctions . So this is my story and tell people everywhere what happened to me hoping that maybe somewhere out there it will help someone who may be going though a rough time to know if you reach out god and his angles are here to guide you Just belive.
