About 4 years ago Mirellya almost died. She had been diagnosed with a
severe heart problem that incapacitated her. The doctors only gave her a
few months to live.
God had different plans and she survived some serious brushes with
death. Her faith, joy and hope in Christ was like a light in the
hopeless darkness. Her doctor took notice and after several inquiries,
he surrendered his life to Jesus.
Through a variety of circumstances, he was no longer able to practice
medicine in Mexico and so moved to the States to doctor there. All
through the years he has kept in contact with Mirellya.
Her current obstetrician responded differently to the light he saw in
Mirellya. He confused it for obstinant foolishness and so refused to
treat her if she did not consent to killing her babies to save her own
life. After a series of sleepless nights and crazy dreams he saw
Mirellya in a hospital waiting line and declared that he had to treat her, he could not get her out
of his mind!
The obstetrician was sure he was treating a dead woman and possibly to
dead babies. But as time went on, against all logic, the babies and
Mirellya got better, not worse! The doctor declared that if she and the
babies survived he too would bow his knee to Jesus and accept him as his
Lord and Savior.
When the time came to be ready to do the surgery the obstetrician
contacted his banished colleague (Mirellya's old doctor) in California
for help. Could he
possibly find a Doctor to do the liver and kidney surgeries as well as
an
anathesiologist? Absolutely! He found some of the best who only charged
a minimal amount to help($1500) compared to their normal fees. God
provided the funds and they were on their way. The exiled doctor was
convinced that this was at least one of the reasons God had sent him
back to the US!
The day came for the surgery and Mirellyas heart was too weak to do it. Distraught, the doctors sent her home for 10 days
with little or no hope. 20% chance of survival originally. Less now
with the new test results.
"20%?" Said Mirellya's husband Pastor Abelino. "The doctors can only do 20%. Good. That leaves 80% for Christ to do His work!!"
He loved those odds!!
10 days later and it's surgery day. Mirellya was in the hospital
overnight for observation while Abelino slept in his van outside, unable
to be with her.
At 11:00am he was supposed to get some information on how she was doing
from the waiting room in a separate building 200 meters away from the
hospital.... Nothing. No information until at least 3pm they said.
At 3pm they permitted him to go upstairs where she was and through tears
of joy he got to see his wife and twin girls all doing well!
Meanwhile there was more birth going on; Second births, as the three
unbelieving doctors listens to the Christian doctor explain to the
others what had happened and what their response needed to be. The
surgeon exclaimed that this surgery was his best ever. It was like
someone else was controlling his hands. The anastheaiologist was
dumbfounded that mirellyas heart had no ill response to the anasthetic.
And all of them gave glory to God Most High for what He had done. They
had witnessed a real miracle!!
All 3 Of them surrendered their lives to Christ, repenting of their sin and unbelief and declaring Him their Lord!!
Praise God that 6 lives were saved that day! Thank you all for your fervent prayer!!
Is anything impossible for God??
May He bless you!
