Vilous R NDE

Experience Description

Well I had just got to the hospital that night via the rescue squad and I was really sick. I had to stay in the emergency room all night because there were no rooms available. When morning came, they moved me to my room and everything was fine. They brought my food up and I talked to my girlfriend at the time. After we finished talking, I fell flat on my face and I blanked out. All I know is I was looking at myself being worked on. I was in North Carolina when it first happened. I was blind for a week and lost the use of both of my legs. My first out of body experience was when God showed me where I would be going if I didn't get my life together. During the second experience, God showed me again about the people who were trying to save my life. I thank God for saving my life. Without him and the doctors, I wouldn't be here today. My girlfriend at the time prayed a lot for me to. I have a disease, but I'm doing well, thank God.
