#CONTEST 83; THE MOST DEVASTATING MOMENT IN MY LIFE.

Life is not a bed of roses as the popular saying goes. Also in the book of ecclesiastics chapter 3,I read that there's time for everything under the sun; A time to weep and time to laugh. Nevertheless for some of us, we've never got challenged in our life and thought life is just a face. Probably because we've enjoyed grace and mercy from God.If there is anything I, my parents and siblings enjoy , it's good health.
Fast forward to 2022 that I am now married and a mother. I now have a family of my own. My husband is also strong and rarely gets sick because we are both genotype AA. We've had it rough since our wedding coupled with the bad economy and business is not thriving. My husband is someone who takes things to heart and get devastated easily whenever things are very tight for us.
It happened around March when we have so many expenses to take care of. That day, I left for work in the morning and he was looking fine though he has been having some symptoms which he didn't tell me. I got back from work and I was expecting him to come back home too. After some hours I got back, I was washing my baby's clothes when I heard a knock on the door. His voice seems faint which made me rush to answer the door. Immediately he entered, I knew there's fire on the mountain. My head went blank and don't know what to do next but to start crying and call for help from his mother whose house is very far from ours. She told me to get him to the hospital and give her direction to the place. He's too weak to stand and I can't carry him by myself. He couldn't even explain how he's feeling. I went to our neighbor who has a motorcycle and asked him for help. I started packing a few things that my baby would need,get a wrapper and put her on my back. We headed out to the hospital where we are registered and that was another journey on its own.
He started saying alot of scary things on the way as if he's was saying his farewell. I started rejecting all his evil utterances and prophesied positive things. The man that helped us too was getting scared that he won't make it to the hospital we're headed and suggested we use a private hospital along the way. We agreed and he drove us there. Luckily for us two doctors were on duty and they attended to us immediately as a matter of emergency. He was administered drips and injections to bring his blood pressure into check as he's blood pressure was too high. He was placed on admission and I had to stay with him while his mum took the baby home. I don't want to part with my baby because she was still breastfeeding and I couldn't imagine how she's going to cry when I'm not around but I had no choice. I couldn't sleep and was exhausted through the night. That's another experience for me because I have never slept in the hospital before not as a patient nor caregiver. I saw another face of life and learnt a wonderful lesson that life can take a twist in a twinkle of an eye. Early that morning I never imagined that I will go to the hospital not to talk of sleeping there.

I turned to God and started praying for quick recovery for my husband and asking for his Mercy.
God did came through for us and restored his health and return his peace to my home. He didn't only see me through my situation, he also showed us unmerited favour through the doctor that we never envisaged.
