The Potter's House

What happened according to Teresa as I cant remember alot of what happened.

On sunday 17th 2006 at about 5am Errol woke up with flu like symtoms. He could not get out of bed, so I gave him some pain killers and prayed for him. The symtoms seemed to be getting worse. By 9am I decided to call NHS direct. They called an ambulance, By the time they came Errol's body was stiff. By the time he got to hospital he could not recognise me, but he was was praying in tongues. Anyway after hours of tests they kept telling me that the tests kept on coming up with dead ends, they kept on asking me if he has diabeties, it could be maleria, but the most shocking thing that the doctor was that they said they were 99% sure that he had HIV.

It was around 6pm when I rang the brothers to pray for him, I did'nt believe the lies of the devil. The doctors kept asking me if my husband had slept with other women and that the kids and I may also have HIV. By 9pm Errol had really got worse and was moved from A & E to intensive care. We waited and prayed I knew that God would not take im and make me a widow I knew that this was not his will, and that this was a test. Anyway brothers filled the waiting room and they continued praying into the early hours. At about 2am the doctor arrived to tell me to prepare my self for the worst and that I would not make it through the night. They told me to say good bye to Errol, they also said th at he only had a 10% chance of survival. I said to the doctors dont worry I will get my chuch to pray for him, the doctors looked at me funny and said to me what ever makes you feel better!

At this point I asked to see Errol and to really find out what was happening, they were treating him with medication for HIV. When I looked at Errol I noticed that Errol had a funny rash on his hands that I did not see before, I pointed this out to the doctors, they now looked shocked and they knew exactly what it was, it was not HIV it was meningococcal septicaemia meningitis and pneumonia. We prayed all night 2 brothers were allowed to stay and pray for Errol, a fter this a miricle happened and Errol started to repond to the medication that he was getting. The doctors now said that his organs that were failing and his blood that was poisioned by the meningitis was now begining to work again. Everyday after this Errol got a little better with the support of the church and my friends I knew that he would make it, thats why I took the photos, I did get a few negative words but I prayed to God for strengh. I was told that if he makes it he would loose his fingers and toes, I did not believe this for him, anyway 3 weeks later Errol was allowed to leave hospital to go home.

2.5 yrs later no side affects and healthier than before, and I was able to witness to Errol's Family through this situation.
