MIRACLES Part 4

So these are the 3 most important miracles I experienced with Vineet. And of course there have been hundreds of others which we experience everyday but eludes the memory. For example, the day when he toppled backwards in his wheelchair but didn't get a scratch because his head landed on a pile of thick blankets kept at that very place!! :) Amazing no? Then there was this instance when we were travelling and didn't get any lower berths and were just wondering what to do when we found that one of the lower berths belonged to a student of the school where Vin's dad works. And he not only switched places for us, he even readily went to the other compartment where our other ticket was. So such miracles do take place, which may seem non-existant to a non-believer, but for us who experience these small ones, it makes big differences. Oh , and I must add one more - its interesting. Vineet is super terrified of the noise of crackers which people burst during marriage ceremonies or during festivals. Now here in West Bengal, India, we have a festival wherein people burst crackers throughout the night right upto the wee hours of the morning. And every year when it approaches, we get ready with Vin's MP3 player, ear phones , etc- all charged for the night. :D Now when he was younger and we hadn't yet found out this earphone idea, One particular year during that festival, Vineet cried so much, and prayed so much, it rained throughout the night till morning . So much so that our locality which is famous for Rainy season flooding, it got flooded that night, so no one could burst any crackers!! Can you believe this??!!!

MIRACLES Part 3



Vineet was in Class 1, so he must have been 6 and a 1/2 years old in April 2006. He wasn't being cathed until then, and he suddenly got a UTI ( he hates to drink water and the hot summer was too hot). Like all previous instances , we took him to the Doctor who put him on Antibiotics - Only, this time they wouldn't work. Vineet finished 2 courses, but they did not work. Everyday he had high fever and he was reduced to bones within a month. Finally we had no other option except to take him to Kolkata's CMRI Hospital and there he was diagonised with ' HYDRO-NEPHROSIS"- water in the kidneys. The kidneys had been affected very badly and the Doctors out there painted a very grim and dismal picture of Vin. We thought we were going to lose him. There they started another round of Antibiotics- this time he was being injected, and it was just too painful, not just for him , but for us as well...

 7 days passed and we saw no improvement or response, so we decided to go to some other Nephrologist and show Vineet. We got a good Surgeon who admitted Vineet again and this time it was more needles. It was a dismal place (as are all hospitals) and Vin and me became mentally weak. We would hold onto each other and cry.Sometimes I would pray.... And then after 9 or 10 days the Surgeon announced- Since the pus, etc in the kidneys is not being drained out even after putting in a Foley-catheter, they would have to make an incision in his lower belly and wash it out for good. It sounded okay, only when I consulted my dear brother over this, he said- 'Just pack your bags and leave!!' I really don't know what we thought or did, but we told the Surgeon that Vin was mentally affected and that we needed some more time to come back and do it. So we would come back later.
We really packed our bags and left the hospital the following day.

As we were leaving, I silently prayed to my God- ''Please God, I don't want Vin to come back to this place ever. Please have mercy on him, and on us.....''

The very next morning, Vin's fever of more than two months or so, was GONE!!!! Praise be to God Almighty!!! He simply loves my (His) Vin! :)



 

MIRACLES Part 2

I remember that Vineet must have been 4 or 5 years old (he was in Prep School then), and I returned home from work one day in the evening, and as I checked him all over, I saw a round, small , gaping wound on his SB site - the highest spot  on the backbone deformity. That was the first time he got a bruise there and I was in a fix. I tried various ointments, creams, lotions, medicines to make it heal fast - nothing would work. Then came the most horrifying part - he got tiny rashes all over his body and went beserk scratching them! His stools turned green and watery!! And they wouldn't stop too!!The Doctor gave him medicines, antibiotic, lotions - only they wouldn't work. I was at my wits' end and cried desperately seeing Vin suffer so.... Then there was a 2 day Retreat held in Vin's School by a Paster (forgot his name). I went with my Mother-in-law and took Vin along. On the second day, when the Pastor called out to bless the sick, I went to him with Vin. He blessed us both and I really made a good retreat. We came back home and I found that Vin's sore was bleeding again. I did the dressing as usual, and as I did so, I silently prayed to God and pleaded Him to take away Vin's rashes. I told him- ''From tomorrow morning onwards, I am NOT going to check for his rashes. You will have to take them away, and I won't listen to anything more. I will believe that you have taken them away. And You have to listen to me.''


Dear People, Believe it or not, I didn't look at Vin's rashes the whole of the following day, and on the day after next, Believe me - THE RASHES WERE GONE !!! SO WAS THE GREEN STOOL !!


After a few days, Vin's back sore also healed. I remember that it healed really fast....:)

MIRACLES Part 1

I have always wondered about the presence of miracles in Vineet's life. I mean I've always wondered about the fact that they have ALWAYS been there in his life. Some small and some, not so small....some believable and some Unbelievable!! which is why I chose to blog about them....

So, as far as I can take my (albeit poor) memory back, I remember the First Big One-

HEALING OF VIN'S HYDROCEPHALOUS (2002?)

We had gone to the 'Divine Retreat Centre' in Kerala upon insistence of friends and family coz they had been there and had brought along with them a CD with the numerous miracles that had been taking place there, and among them, a baby girl from Goa who had Spina bifida , and had been completely cured! Our entire family had watched the video with amazement and more belief than us, that Vin too could be healed there.We were told to 'Keep the faith', and off we went.

Kerala was a beautiful place and the 'Divine Retreat Centre" was a very big place. From the very first day I experienced 'Para-normal' things, things which I can speak of here, but it would make the blog very long. So to cut the story short, I have to admit that I didn't make so good a retreat as I would have loved to...I was very distracted , and when the last day arrived and Vin was not healed, I burst into tears. The friends I made there consoled me and said- Keep the faith, sometimes you have to come here again and again to be healed'.

So we came back home. A week or so later, Vin was sitting on the floor and playing and we were higher up beside him- on the bed. Suddenly Vin's dad said- "look, the place on his forehead where there used to be a bulge due to Hydrocephalous, has sunken in and instead there's a dimple!' I looked and sure enough, suddenly the bulge was gone!! We praised God for his mercy on our baby and Believed that He had healed the Hydrocephalous and for good- I told Him- Never again am I going to test Vin for Hydrocephalous- I will keep my faith and You keep yours :) Touchwood, till date Vin has never ever had any Hydrocephalous issues anymore. And its going to be that way for the rest of his life, Amen!!
