I was the father of two with no health problems in the world as far as I knew, when all of a sudden, I felt a terrible headache start. Within a very few minutes I felt myself collapse to the floor like a bag of potatoes and my last thought was that this was it. I was nearly right. A short time later my oldest daughter came in the house and found me and called an ambulance for me.
At the hospital they had no clue as to what was wrong, until they ruled out a heart attack and they realized it must be my head. I had a big cerebral bleed caused by a type of brain aneurysm which was probably inherited. They said I had an “AVM” which hits younger adults and can be fatal sometimes. An all-day operation was called for but even then, death or extreme problems were very likely. My wife was a strong Christian and she asked individuals and whole churches to pray for me in the name of Jesus Christ. We both had faith, and we had prayed for healings for others in the past, but usually for relatively minor issues.
After the operation the doctors told her that I would die or be brain dead, but they all kept trying and people kept praying. The weeks after my operation were a real daze, and my mind can be seen as similar to a shattered mirror. Can it be mended?
Ever so slowly I came back, but I could not walk at all, couldn’t talk well, and my eyesight and hearing were down a notch or two. My big plus was that I never had my first brain seizure although patients of my type often had dozens of them per month and were given powerful meds with extreme side effects.
After two months I was allowed to come home, but I got in the house only with the help of two relatives, and I was weaker than a kitten. At this time, I had what I call after-shocks which consisted of a serious of problems like stomach, eyes, walking issues and after a period of suffering with each one, they would each fade away and be replaced by something else.
That year I applied to get my job back, and I got I back part time and later full time, and after more than a year I got back my driver’s license. The operation to the back of my head had messed up my facial expressions and it was five years before I could smile or laugh and be confident that others were seeing the expression I was trying to make.
I thanked as many of the wonderful people of very different Christian faiths, that I could locate, who had prayed for me, and you had better believe that I thank the Lord Jesus very often!! Praise God! I wanted to do something for others who were also very ill, and I started lists of those to pray for as I was prayed for.
Today I have my life back. and I can talk well and run some if I have to! The big change is my faith in the Lord. If you are dying, then don’t give up! Pray and invite as many to pray for you as you can.
You might get a miracle and have Jesus to thank every day as I do!
Hi, I’m 31, a mother of 5 and I also suffered an brain aneurysm this past june of 2008.I just wante to say that your story has touch my heart. When I experienced mt headache and as I collasped i asked God to please, forgive me for my sins. I was in an induced come for a few days before my surgery but when I finally awoke it had only felt like hours and all I could remember was the collapse and then a man in a robe whos hands glowed but his face I didnt reconise…He came to me and said for me not to be afraid that He would not let me die and although he couldnt tell me the reasoning for my situation, everything in life happens for a reason and everything would be fine and then he put his glowing hands over my eyes and I was sleep ( I guess). I know the Lord was by my side that day and every day since but I’m given strange stares when I tell others of my experience. I thank the Lord for allowing me to live each and every single day.
My best friend just has an aneurysm bust in her brain on wedsesday the 22nd of July and would like everyone to pray for a recover like this man has received or even better. Her name is Barbara.
May God bless you, Kaniesha…this is the first time I have seen your comments. We do get strange stares when Jesus is doing His works through us!!!
Jason…God bless your friend, and I ask for healing for you both. Amen.
It’s comforting to read God’s miracle at work. I fervently pray that the same will happen to my mother who also has cerebral aneurysm. Please also help pray for my mother’s healing. Her name is Concepcion. Thank you very much.

My heavenly Father Lord Jesus I give thanks to you and receive your gift of life, and her eternal life (she has received) for my mother and the days ahead you are giving my mother (Gloria sandoval) after her aneurysm going on three days now. I trust my Lord as he is the “master physician” and our creator.He created what the world calls science, and more importantly his children.I trust the good report the Holy Spirit has made known in my heart! What a walking testimony she will be.As I join hands and hearts around the world for the truth of his complete healing for my mother by my Lord! By his stripes we are healed I rebuke the works for the enemy! She is bought and paid for and he has not rights to her.
On December 7th 2010 my mother was preparing for a service when she laid down from a headache.After resting a short time, then finished getting ready in her master bath when Dad came in to check on her, she said she was fine and replied with what do you think I am doing …from her side of the door? Moms spunk.Fifteen min. went by and dad checked on her to find again, with no response.Dads check in his spirit urged him to go in and having to break door in to find my sweet mom on the bathroom floor.Dad with all he had (62 years old,arthritis throughout – retired railroad and Vietnam Vet )went in to his saving mode lifted mom and laid her gently on the bed and cleaning the vomit from a her mouth and placed a washcloth ever so loving to my mothers for head, then called the ambulance.
My mom a small town in NM. rushed to hospital ER by ambulance. I in AZ.Found the phone call and begin to hurt with the agony of the possibles of what it could be.No flights available husband and kids drove over 8 hours to hospital.She had been air flighted to Albuquerque NM.A drive of near hours as Dad could not be by her side and minutes were hours.
My son of 5 prayed for Grandma and he believed in Faith.Child like faith and very matter of fact. He has prayed over me twice for comfort and reassures me saying the first time, “mommy, don’t cry ..Jesus is praying for grandma TOO “,…still makes me tear up.Praise the Lord for him. And then again my husband who is a believer and pastor prayed over my as my 2 year old laid his hands on me along with my 5 year old.Peace from God that’s all I know.
We are now on day 4. Mom on day 1 had a tube inserted to drain blood, and I and many others prayed with mom and she held the word of God in her hands holding on tight.She also did what the nurses wanted on command with moving the fingers and feet holding two finges when told. Day two she wrote the date and year and the word 2 days,she did this on her own we I offered the pen and paper and we didn’t ask ..she was aware of the math of how many days she was in the ICU hospital.
Today her respirator was removed and completely breathing by herself.And she tried to speak and said she needed the bathroom.When told not to talk she frowned not a bad sign.Right now we are watching her blood pressure trying to stabilize it.They have already spoke of therapy and her going home and family helping her.My Dad spoke of this.I am giving praise where it is deserved ! Thank you Jesus for your love for my mom and your healing touch.The Author and finisher of our Faith, I give thanks always.The nurses are calling this a miracle.May others know his loving kindness.My Lord , My savior, my best friend my Holy God ! Amen ! My Father receive the Glory unto you!
Just got word they are talking bout therapy for my mother,…thank you Jesus!!

My Mom, (Joann) had a brain aneurysm rupture about 25 days ago. She had surgery immediately. She came out of the surgery ok and we could talk to her. After about 7 days after the surgery she had what they call vasospasms, these are not good and are common among this situation. Ever since the vasospasm’s all she can do is open her eyes, wiggle her foot, and sometimes twitch a finger. This has been a total tragedy to my dad, brother, me and the whole extended family. Oh Lord Jesus Christ the Father and the Holy Spirit I pray for mom to be able to pull out of this, she has much faith in you as I do. I pray for all the ill and there family’s. My mom is a wonderful person, I pray you bring her comfort in these scary times, do not let her be afraid, and do not let her suffer I ask of you oh father as I am your son, I pray for her recovery. I also ask of others to pray for my mom, we need all the prayers we can get.

My mother in law had a double brain anuerysm 4-3-11. She spent a month in the hospital (2 coil procedures and a shunt). She has been in 2 rehabs, one was more of a nursing home that was terrible and one was an aggressive rehab that taught her how to get back on her feet. She is 77 and prior was very active, she rode her bike 6.5 miles a day and walked 2. Sharp as a tack. It is June 20th and she is home. She speaks normal, remembers things from her whole life..(in great detail) but….. she has reverted to someone that is very negative, refuses to get up and walk, will not do anything for herself even though she has been on steady doses of anti-depression meds. I see she is able to do things but she finds any reason not to do anything. I wish I knew if this was the permanent her?? She prays constantly but insists on baby talking, crying… Dont know what else to do. She is alive but not productive or regaining her life.. At this point all we can do is pray for a better day.
I LOVE CHRIST AND YOU ALL YOU SAINTS. 2 CORINTHIANS 3 VERSE 17
