Luz H NDE

Experience Description

I gave birth to my daughter, and was discharged the following day. On the fourth day, I was taken to the emergency room with a very high fever. There I was placed under observation. Tests were done and they diagnosed appendicitis. I was treated with intravenous drugs. I went on getting worse, and tests showed it was NOT appendicitis. They called for the woman doctor who attended the birth. More tests were done.

But they still did not know what was wrong with me. I entered into shock, and that is when everything began. I felt great peace, and felt no fear in separating from my body. I felt myself floating and that I was rising from the gurney. I could hear people praying all around me but could not react, could not open my eyes or move, etc.

The doctor asked my family to pray for me, said I was in a very bad way, and they did not know what was wrong with me. My family went to the church, and so did the doctor. They started doing bacterial cultures. I was put on four separate drips, two in my legs and two in my arms.
