Yesterday, my husband had some routine blood work done. We were in bed last night when he got a call from the hospital telling him his blood sugars were very high and they wanted him to come to Emergency right away. His blood sugar level was at 48 and he ended up in the ER all night with 4 iv's trying to bring his sugar down. The doctor was very surprised that he hadn't gone into a coma and told him he was a lucky man. So turns out he has type 2 diabetes but never knew it. Now my husband is not a religious person, so an experience he said he had while he was in hospital was really amazing. He said that he could feel a presence next to him in his bed and he was looking around to see who it was, but no one was there. Then he said he felt two hands take his hand and was holding it. Then a nurse came in to take his blood again and he said that this presence turned his hand over, and then it was gone! He asked the doctor if he had given him a drug that would make him hallucinate, but the doctor said no. I believe he had a heavenly visitor comforting him.
It could very well be a heavenly visitor. Being in the hospital like that can be scary, so it's nice to know that we aren't really alone during those times.
I asked a Sister who had been nursing people in a Hospice for many years if she and the other nurses had ever seen anything strange ? She asked me what I meant by strange? I said dying people seeing heavenly visitors. She said it is so common that they don't even comment on it. They have come to expect it.
Such a lovely grace for your husband. One of my dearest friends may years ago was deathly ill in the hospital--had pneumonia and got a terrible reaction to the antibiotics. She said to me later that while she was in a kind of coma she knew a woman was standing by her bed dressed in blue. Just their to help. The Blessed Mother
Yes, that’s what I was thinking Jason. Perhaps his grandmother who I am told was a very devout Catholic who prayed the Rosary.
What a heart-changing experience! May the Holy Spirit keep it fresh in your husband's mind; may his trust in God grow ever deeper! Grace upon grace!
