My Guardian Angel Ann

Last year I spent 8 months in an out of the bed. I went to the ER 5 times, (only to be sent away), had a colonoscopy, barium study, many blood and urine tests, 4 cat scans, 2 ultrasounds and many trips to the doctor. I started out loosing my voice and being tired all the time. Then it was constipation and stomach aches months after months. It finally turned into diarrhea which happened when I ate or drank anything. I lost 45 pounds. My friends told me don't look in the mirror, your hair is awful. And I never did because it was from the toilet to the bed every day. I got so weak I could not lift my head off the pillow. I did not have the strength to dry off after a bath, (forget trying to stand in the shower). The only thing that came up on all of these test was that my white blood cell count was always high. Which means their is infection in the body, but if they could not figure out the source, they could not give me antibiotics. Finally, before my 5th time to the ER, I decided subconsciously that I would go ahead and die, no doctor could treat me or find out what was wrong. I was lieing in my bed and watched my mother bring me a dry piece of toast for breakfast. At that time I felt like the pillows around me were mountains, and my mother was a good distance away. She asked me do I want anything else and I said 1 more piece of dry toast. She brought that to me, I ate half and had to throw the other half on the nighstand because I could not lean over to place it there. It was then I decided to sleep and give up. When I fell asleep a short time later, I heard very clear a woman speak to me. She said "Karen, if you do not get out of bed right now, you are going to die". It was then I felt the urgency of seeking help again. I threw myself out of bed, crawled into my closet and on the floor I proceeded to pull the clothes down to wear. I crawled to the steps and threw my shoes down the stairs. My mom said what is going on? I told her call the ambulance. I told my mom I did not think I could walk to the car in the driveway, which was not far. She said she would help me, and also had to put on my shoes. I went to the hospital and they started the same tests and questions. The doctor told my mom she has been here 2-3 hours and has not had diarrhea yet. My mom said that is because she has nothing on her stomach.
So I asked for crackers. After eating almost 2 crackers, I had to run to the bathroom. He finally agreed to admit me. They did an endoscopy on me and took tissue samples from my stomach and intestines, and gave me every pill known to try to stop the diarrhea. On the 5th day the doctor came in the room and said she was going to have to dismiss me. My mother said she can't go home like this she will die. The only thing helping her now is the IV. The doctor said they would be looking at the test and let us know. My mother said no way. So the doctor told us she would see if any tests came back. 2 hours later a lady from CDC walked in. She looked at my mom and I and said, she found the problem, but we would no believe it. My mom said what is it? The CDC doctor said you have a 3rd world parasite and your body is fighting itself. This parasite is not visible to the human eye and is very rare. She said we will put you on 4 antibiotics to take a one time, that are very strong. In fact I had to sleep at least 2 hours after taking them. Sure enough my diarrhea slowed down and eventually stopped. I went home that Friday afternoon. The point
to this very long story, is that I discovered after a few months and telling people about this woman that spoke to me, that I had the privilege of meeting my Guardian Angel. I was surprised, I never thought of that. So I know without a shadow of doubt that we have a Guardian Angel looking out for us, in that critical time of need.
She saved my life. I saw what my friends meant when I looked in the mirror on the way to the hospital, I scared myself (I looked like a corpse). It took me many months to bounce back but now I am much more spiritual and realize how important it is to believe in a greater power to step in at the most critical times of our lives. Never disregard your inner voice or emotional drive, if it is for the best. Our power comes from within, it is up to us to go past the possibilities and live our dreams. Karen
