When I was 5 I remember walking up to see my dad in his hospital bed. He had been in a mountain bike accident which resulted in a broken spine and loosing all his teeth. I remember seeing the huge scab on his nose and his jaw wired shut. I remember trying to hold back tears as he hugged me. That day he had a serious Guarding Angel.
When i was about 12 my brother had some serious health Issues. It took over 13 doctors to diagnose him with Thoracic outlet syndrome. TOS is a condition whereby symptoms are produced from compression of nerves or blood vessels, or both, because of an inadequate passageway through the thoracic outlet between the base of the neck and the armpit.... We had to go to Houston TX for him to have ribs removed. He had a Guarding Angel directing him and my mother towards that Doctor.
When I was about 13 my mom had a heart attack. I remember when my neighbor had a feeling to come and visit my mother. When she got there she called 911. I remember the paramedics rushing into the house and carrying my other out. I remember watching as the Paramedics stopped at the bottom of the road as they tried to get my mom stable. I remember sitting in the back of my brothers best friends car. He had bought Dante and I frostys. I couldn't eat it. Still to this day they remind me of that night. I remember him saying a prayer that everything would be alright. She had to be life flighted and during that trip she actually died. Somehow they brought her back to life. That day our neighbor was an amazing Guarding Angel. She will always hold a special place in my heart.
Right after Levi and Kali got engaged Kali was in a strange accident. They were out jeeping around when they got stuck. Levi got out to try and see what was going on. Then the jeep started rolling backwards and tumbled down the mountain with Kali still in it. She had to get staples in her head but it could have been a lot worse. She had a Guarding Angel that day.
Then a month ago my sweet nephew got lit on fire. 14 percent of his body was covered in 2nd and 3rd degree burns. This past month he has been sedated and received many skin grafts. He has struggled very much. I know that his hospital room is FULL of Guarding Angels. I am SO thankful that he is finally improving and healing.
There has been many other times that Guarding Angels have protected me and my family. Without them my family would be much smaller. It is no wonder why i want to be a nurse... haha! I didn't write this to make anyone feel sorry for my family but to express my thanks towards all the blessings we have had.
