Today I got to wear my Brand to my appointment! In pink per usual but this time was extra special my represents the I had after my Hospital acquired infection traveled to my shunt then made its way to my brain. I not only had ventriculitis, but meningitis as well… I was at my lowest, the doctor literally told me if I felt any change at all to rush back to the hospital… I just knew, I was going to die, i laid at home given myself iv antibiotics and spoke to God, Cried to God so silently no one knew that I felt like it was my time! My Older brother who I don’t see often came to see the boys, as he played with them, the sounds of their laughter and giggles caused tears to fall down my eyes because to me I didnt know which breath would be my last and I was sure my last breath was near! My brother came in the room, just to say hi 👋🏽, instead he saw me in tears! He came over to me and said what’s wrong I told him “Im going to die” he said Naw mann they got the shunt out right and youre on medication, I cried to him, and let him know that they said I am very sick and have a very serious infection in my brain and if I feel off in any way to come back because it can kill me. My brother looked at me and said Give me a hug, i hugged him, and the way he hugged me back!!!!!! You guys its like God sent him to say its not your time!! I could feel God as my brother hugged me even when i tried to let go his hug got tighter that was that was the love at that time God knew I needed! The pain I released from that hug you guys don’t understand!! I cried out Mercy Hallelujah!!! I’m still here by Gods Grace and Mercy So when you see me rep know there is truly a blessing behind it! You will be what God sees you to be! You will spread awareness, and the pain Ive endured will not be in vain!!!!
