I would like to share the testimony of a miracle. In May of 2000, doctors in my country found that my son Marcelo, who was 12 years old at that time, had a brain tumor in an inoperable zone. Although the doctor could not remove the tumor, it was necessary to place a shunt in his brain. The purpose of this shunt was to drain the cerebrospinal fluid; this tumor was blocking the circulation of this liquid. The next step needed was a biopsy. The results of the biopsy indicated that my son had Astrocitoma Grade II. Because of the location of the tumor, the placing of the shunt and the biopsy were high-risk procedures. I was told that there was the possibility that Marcelo would become paralytic or vegetative state. God took care of my son and none of this happened. While he was at the Neoplasics Hospital, God blessed us with the help and support of many people. The medical personnel were very attentive to my son; there even let my husband and I to be with him in the recovery room, something that was against the rules. His classmates wrote him letters of support ant encouragement. After the last operation, he was scheduled to have 30 sessions of radiation. This treatment ended in July. A tomogram was take on October 2nd and the doctor told us that the radiation therapy had not been effective. Marcelo was by my side when the doctor told me this. Fortunately, this was the last thing that my son heard about his condition. The doctor asked me to wait outside his office for a moment and then let me in again, but only me. The doctor gave me all the tomographies and the results of the biopsy, he explained to me that we might have to request medical help from out of the country. As far as the Neoplasics center was concerned, they had done all they could. Also the doctor told me that the brain tumor would continue growing, that they (the hospital) would take tomographies every 3 months, but most likely my son would live for 4 or 5 more years. Could you imagine how terrible I felt at that moment? Marcelo was in the next room, waiting for me. I felt like I was dying but tried to hide my feelings; I didn't want him to notice anything. My husband and I were attending a Christian Church named "Cantico Nuevo" . The congregation was at that moment participating in a conference. I told the Pastor about our problem and he asked us to bring Marcelo for a healing service to be held on October 13; he explained to us that the congregation would pray for my sons's healing. We went and that was when it happened, a miracle happened. The Pastor put his hand on Marcelo's head, and my son said that while the Pastor was praying for him, he felt electric shocks passing through his body. That night we became witnesses of more healings of other brothers and sisters. A gentleman said that he heard the voice of God telling him: "There is too much incredulity and with this boy I will show my Glory". Like these, there were many other revelations that gave us the chills and happiness at the same time. We continued taking Marcelo to the church whenever a healing service was held. On January 5th Marcelo had another tomogram taken. As in the other occasions we had to wait 5 days for the results. Finally, the day came and Marcelo insisted in coming with me to see the doctor, because he was convinced that the Holy Spirit had healed him. He insisted so much that I said to him: "I can fail to you, your father can fail to you, but Christ will never fail to you, so let's go". The doctor who gave the results was not the one that was following my sons's case. This doctor was not having a good day and in a bad mood told us that the shunt was there and that although the brain tumor had shrunk, it had not completely disappeared. My son an I were so happy with the news that I dare to ask the doctor how much did the brain tumor shrunk and the doctor with bad bedside manners told us: 50%. I ewas happy, but for some reason I was not convinced by his answer. I called the nurse that had assisted my son since the beginning of his treatment , and ask her to check the tomogram and to show them to the doctor who treated Marcelo. On October 17th, she called me to confirm my suspicions: the brain tumor had shrunk not 50% but 80%. Glory to God! She said that the doctor became speechless when he saw the resonance. Another doctor said that he was interested in studying Marcelo's case. In April Marcelo will have another tomogram taken and we are confident that the tumor will not show up. Why? Because what God starts a task, God finishes it. This has been a terrible but beautiful experience for us. During these hard moments we met very caring and loving persons that demostrated their unconditional support. We had being blessed with our Lord's infinite mercy. We will always be grateful for what He has done. We would like to ask from you a prayer to thank God for the mercy granted to my son, and a prayer for the complete healing of Marcelo. God bless you, Doris Flores Lima, PERU _________________________________________________________________ El correo GRATUITO en tu idioma y con múltiples beneficios.
