October 8th, 2019, I couldn’t hold anything down and was dehydrating. The last thing I remember was being loaded up in the ambulance and eventually was placed into an induced coma for 11 days because I was out of control, pulling out IVs and tried to pull out the breathing tube.

Three doctors told family that I had 0 % of making through the night. Family called in and given the last rites. The heart stopped twice and had to be paddled and all organs were shutting down. The doctors kept searching fighting against 3 infections that caused the sepsis.

I was given antibiotics after antibiotics. The brain wasn’t affected and the heart stabilized. Eventually a decision was made on the 11th day to remove the ventilator and was given a shot to help me revive. All organs started to work, eventually I woke up and thought it was just the next day not 11 days later.

I had numerous wild or nightmarish dreams, kidnapped twice, thrown off a gambling ship in the ocean only to be plucked out of the water by a helicopter.
To this day May 1st, 2021, I have not gotten all my strength back and I don’t think I ever will.
I was very fortunate to survive, but God had other plans fir me and it wasn’t my time to go.
Thank you
Mike K.
