Cameron H NDE

Experience Description:

When I was six, my mother gave me chewable children's aspirin due to a fever. This caused the fever to go up and the doctor suggested giving me more. Finally In was at 106.5 degrees and I was rushed to the hospital. I went into a coma due to being diagnosed with Ryes Syndrome. During the coma, I was on life support and an instrument bolt was put in my head to measure brain pressure. My mother finally needed to leave my side to go to the restroom. Then my life support dropped to zero. The doctors tried to bring me back to life. They were successful but I remember passing down a hallway that had no doors that was a soft grey tone. At the end, there was an open door with an immense light emitting through it. I felt like I was floating down the hallway straight to the door. I passed through it and was in this vast space that was like a giant Styrofoam sphere, that I was stuck on. I could only travel round and around. I then heard crying, beeps, and turned to look where the sound was. Then I was back in my hospital bed surrounded by beings that were floating around me. Ever since then I have the repeat visions just described that happen to me many times a month that come with a very bad feeling. Throughout the years now, I have learned to shut of the visions but the feeling still comes. Because of this experience, I have premonitions that come true and have never steered me wrong for others or myself around me. I can sense the outcome.
