(Minghui.org) My 70-year-old wife has been practicing Falun Dafa for more than 10 years. My wife's diligence in her practice eventually led me to become a Dafa practitioner, too.
On December 26, 2014, my daughter and I went to visit relatives, while my wife stayed at home. We were supposed to stay for lunch, but that day I had a strange feeling, so we left before lunch. When we got home, we found my wife lying unconscious on the floor in her own vomit.
My daughter and I carried her to her bed and tried to rouse her. However, apart from occasional bouts of beating her head with her hands and moaning in pain, she remained unconscious. My daughter and I called out to Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa) to protect her.
We called for an ambulance to take my wife to the regional hospital, where doctors said she had bleeding in the brain due to a ruptured artery. Her skull was filled with blood, and she would probably die without immediate surgery.
The next day, our relatives and several Dafa practitioners rushed over to the hospital. My wife's younger brother gave my daughter the money for surgery and tried to persuade her to consent to the operation. My brother-in-law asked the practitioners to tell my wife to have the surgery.
The practitioners, however, constantly advised us to leave everything to Master Li. My wife is a Falun Dafa practitioner, and as long as our thoughts and actions are righteous, Master can take care of everything. We should leave everything to Master and let nature take its course.
While my wife lay unconscious, I constantly recited the passage of Master's lecture about “benevolent solutions” to her. My daughter is not a Dafa practitioner, but she believes in the power of Dafa, so she recited “Falun Dafa is good” to my wife and played Master Li's lectures and Dafa songs to her.
As my wife lay unconscious, everyone pressured us to let her have the operation. Her primary doctor told us that her condition was the most serious among over 30 different possible types of bleeding in the brain. She had not just one or two points, but had bleeding throughout her entire brain. While he could not guarantee that she would regain consciousness, she would certainly die without surgery.
Her doctor spoke to us no less than 10 times about the severity of my wife's condition and kept trying to persuade us to agree to surgery immediately. He even came down to the hospital to speak with us on his day off, and said that the hospital would not take responsibility for the outcome. My wife's brother called us every day to ask if my wife had regained consciousness and to ask why she had not yet been operated on.
My daughter could no longer stand the pressure and worried that our relatives would blame her for not letting her mother be operated on, so she decided to consent to it.
I, however, did not waver in my view. I knew that my wife's illness was a test for myself and our fellow practitioners.
Four days after my wife was admitted, the doctors prepared to operate on her. However, the one of the machines they needed to carry out the surgery broke down, and they were forced to cancel the procedure. They later learned that, to repair the machine, they had to import replacement parts from Germany. According to the doctors, nothing like this had ever happened before.
Over the following days, my wife slowly regained consciousness. She said to me, “Although I couldn't feel anything, I could still hear Master Li's lectures and Dafa music. I kept calling out in my heart for Master to save me and asking him to let me be discharged from the hospital.”
We thus decided to have my wife discharged. The doctors said they needed time to do the necessary procedures to remove all of the tubes attached to her–in particular, the one in her abdominal artery that delivered drugs and fluids. That had inserted it because, while she was unconscious, her blood pressure had been unstable, and they couldn't find a vein to deliver drugs and fluids. They sewed the tube to the skin of her abdomen and covered it with gauze to keep it from falling out.
Three days before my wife was discharged, the tube in her abdomen came out by itself. There was not a single bloodstain on the tube, nor was there any bleeding at the insertion site. This reaffirmed to us that our decision to take her home was the right one.
At home, my wife continued to study the Fa and do the exercises. Soon, she was able to eat and walk, and now she can even help me with planting vegetables.
This event had a huge effect on our relatives and friends. Although they knew that Falun Dafa is good, they were shocked at how quickly she recovered.
Everyone was once again convinced of the extraordinary power of Falun Dafa. Even our neighbors were surprised to see my wife gardening, despite having such a life-threatening condition just a short while ago.
