(Clearwisdom.net) My grandpa, who has had high blood pressure for the past 50 years, was diagnosed with another major problem - tumors in several sections of an artery in his abdomen, the biggest being 50mm x 30mm. They are like time bombs. Hearing this, my 78-year-old grandpa just collapsed mentally. He did not want to eat or move around - not even to go to the washroom.
To prevent the "bombs" from exploding, he went through surgery. He was given general anesthesia and when he woke up 12 hours later, he could not think clearly and half of his body was numb. He had a stroke on the right side of his brain, for which there were no effective cure. He was in grave danger and could have died at any time.
My grandma practices Falun Gong. She whispered "Falun Dafa is good" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good" to him all the time. Two weeks later, Grandpa was fine and could walk on his own. Everything seemed fine and he was getting ready to go home for the Lunar New Year.
However, walking down the hospital hallway, he had an excruciating pain in his right leg. When he got back to his ward, he found his right leg pale and cold. The doctor found that the artery in his right leg did not work any more. They would have to amputate his leg. So his family agreed to the operation to save his leg. On the day before New Year's eve, Grandpa had five hours of surgery while his family waited outside. On the following day, he had another stroke in his brain. He was sent to the intensive care on New Year's eve. Family members took turns sitting on the bench outside his ward and spent an unforgettable Chinese New Year.
On the seventh day of the New Year, he got better and was moved out of intensive care. But then he started to pass blood. The doctors used all medicines available to stop the blood from coming, but it did not help. For the third time, we received notice from the hospital that Grandpa was dying.
Grandma said to all those attending, "At this point, only Falun Dafa can save Grandpa's life. Everyone please say silently "Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good." Grandpa followed along. On the third day, he held my grandma's hand and said, "I saw Teacher. Teacher came to save me. I have suffered so much and I am safe now because Teacher came to protect me."He also said to me and my mom, "When I go home, I will burn incense to worship Buddha. Dafa is magnificent." Many people heard him then. Grandpa got better day by day ever since.
On the tenth of March, Grandpa came home and is recovering well. He can look after himself now. Although I have not started practicing Falun Gong, I am trying to help out any way I can for Falun Dafa.
