I wasn't able to be there but my mom and some other family
members were. This happened almost seven years ago in
Mobile, AL.
My grandfather was admitted into hospital. He had
fluid building up on his lungs and heart. My grandfather
had always been sick to one degree or another as long as I
could remember. He was always tired and could never go
very far from home.
He had been in the hospital for
a while and it had gotten to the point where they took the
decision out of my grandmothers hands to take him off life support. The doctors took him off of life
support after everyone said goodbye. The doctors told my
grandmother that he would pass before the night was over.
While everybody sat there a nurse came in and talk to my
grandmother and mother and other family members. Then she
asked my family to join hands and pray. She led the
prayer. When it was over she went to my grandmother and
looked her in the eyes and said "my brother will be just
fine." and she walked out of the room.
The next day my
Mom was asleep in the chair next to my grandfather. My
grandfather sat up and told my Mom that he wanted his
glasses and hat. He never took his hat off except to
sleep. Then he smiled at my Mom. Then my Mom woke my
grandmother who had been sleeping on another hospital
bed. By the end of the day he was up and walking and
eating by himself. One time my grandmother had to scold
him for pinching her rear-end in front of my Mom and her
sisters. Then a couple of days later was thanksgiving.
The doctor told my grandfather that he was able to go home
in one week. My mom went to thank the nurse that prayed
with them. Nobody knew the nurse that my mom was
referring to but she could tell the head honcho that the
nurse had done this and that she appreciated it very
much. When my mom told them that she wanted to file a
sort of thank you, my mom told the person the nurse's name
and description the person said that they don't have a
nurse by that name or description.
After my grandfather was discharged he immediately started to build my
grandmother her dream house, he even took a trip to visit my mom, a 10 hour drive away. My mom and family were very
thankful that thanksgiving for the Angel who they believed saved my grandfathers life.
