Irene's Miraculous Recovery
"Prayed to Nonco"
Irene Gardemal is a friend of Mary Agnes Hardy dela Houssaye Belleau, great niece of Nonco. The following is an email which Irene sent to Mary on Tuesday, March 17, 2020.
I thought you might be interested in this story:
While I was being transported to New Orleans in an ambulance following a recent brain hemorrhage, I was conscious the whole time, and so I prayed for the intercession of your great Uncle, “Nonc”. I really wasn’t sure if I would live or die, so I just surrendered all to Jesus.
When the doctors at Ochsner asked me what had happened, I was able to tell them. Based on the scan that was done at BR General and sent to Ochsner before I arrived, the stroke team had decided there was likely nothing they could do for me. Once they looked at my medical history and the fact that I take no medicine, and have none of the expected complications, they decided they would be able to seal off the aneurysm.
The good news is the procedure was successful. I spent 15 days in the hospital, 13 of which were in ICU. I am doing really well, and as far as the doctors can tell, I have no deficits. This is really a miracle, because a large percentage of people with subarachnoid hemorrhage either don’t survive, or if they do, have serious impairments.
I believe that your Uncle heard my prayers and interceded on my behalf.
I am praying for you and all of our Called By Faith Bible members as we face these uncertain times. We know that God is taking care of us, no matter what!
In Christ’s love,
Irene
