For years I didn’t understand why so many kids and babies have to suffer from seizures, including my son. Until I searched the Bible and found this verse…
God said “In my name, you can cast out demons.” Luke 10:19 says Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. As we can see that God has given us the authority to use HIS name and we can speak to our enimies and command the evil force to get out of our children in Jesus’ name!
My son was suffering from epilepcy since 2 months’ old to 5+ months’ old. You might be feeling surprised and thinking”What do you mean from 2-5 months’ old? You mean your son was diagnosed with Menkes Disease but he only had seizures for 3 months?!”
Yes, God healed my Jadon’s uncontrollable and sever epilepcy in 4 days by praying and taking communion.
I remember one night I found something was wrong with my son. 2 months’ old baby Jadon, looking soooo adorable on the bed. I didn’t know he had fatal genetic disease back then, all of a sudden I saw his one arm was doing a “funny” but strange movement. What worried me was that the whole night he didn’t cry out for milk at all, and he kept his eyes open and couldn’t sleep.
Until 10+ am the next morning, I asked my husband “Do you think it’s normal for a baby?” He answered”No…” After that we brought Jadon to KKH hospital emergency room for check up.
Long story short, they kept him in the ward for finding out the reason. Neuro doctor did MRI on a Saterday early afternoon, and we were informed the lower part of his brain was swollen. I was shocked, felt hopeless and cried, hoping someone can help me to treat and cure my baby because I knew if something wrong with brain it means my Jadon was in a big trouble…
He was hospitalized in an isolation room of CICU… I was heartbroken when I saw my baby drousy and sleeping, tubings and wires everywhere with plugs on his arms.
5 days later he was transfered to common ward, and since then he had suffering from different forms of seizures terribly. I remember almost within every 2 weeks, he had to come back to KKH hospital because of epilepcy. The worst episode lasted 40 (Yes! Four Zero) minutes… and I didn’t even have any idea that I could and should have called ambulance, how stupid was that?! Everytime we were waiting outside emergency room…heartbroken, sitting there and feeling the fear, didn’t know why and what to do about it. helpless!
At the age of 5+ months’ old, one of the admission because of seizures as usual, genetic team came to me and revealed me of this name that I’ve never ever even heard of before – Menkes Disease. After the doctor left, I started to search on google and fnd out what this disease is all about … As you can imagine, my heart was sinking like a rock. My husband contacted our church and Paster Mattew came to Jadon’s bed and prayed over him.
A few sisters at our church also visited us, and sister Karen kept visiting Jadon and us in the ward almost everyday or every other day. She kept reminding me “Guard your heart Mary! God’s healing had already begun.” Every time she came, she took communion together with us, we declared that we reject the lies of the devil and commanded seizures to die.
Back then, seizures got worse and out of control. Jadon was on 4 types of anti-seizures drugs already and neuro doctor said because of this disease, Jadon’s brain will be deterriating and he would suffering from more and more siezures. My husband cried out to God … that was the first time I saw him crying like that, he said “Oh God, I cannot take it anymore！I don’t have strength anymore…”
To be honest, as a human and a helpless mother… I gave up. In the natural, there was nothing we could do to stop the seizures, and I knew my son had to die. I gave up and I said to my husband “Lets’s have another baby, and the next one shall be healthy.” but he answered “I don’t want another child, I want my Jadon only!”
As I was suffering from depression, I’d decided to commit suicide if someday something bad happening to my baby. I was prescribed very strong dose of sleeping pills by psychiatrist and I hid the whole bottle of them somewhere my family don’t know of…
I started suffering from panic attack, I couldn’t even breath properly. My husband used to come and visit Jadon in the early morning, at lunch break time as well as after work daily, and we always took communion together and we stood in faith and commended the seizures be loose in Jadon and die. I think we took communion and prayed about x4-5 times everyday back then.
Jadon had suffered from 20-30 episods of seizures daily and the seizures changed forms once in a while. It was nightmare! I remember Jadon was transfered to HD ward for better medical attention because I was suffering from depression.
As our prayers went up to Heaven … In the afternoon on the 4th day, I called my mum who was staying with Jadon and asked her how many episodes of seizures attacked Jadon since last night until now. She answered “Only x2 episodes this morning around 10ish o’clock, and I haven’t seen anymore seizures till now.”
From that moment onwards, my son was totally healed from epilepcy. Amazingly I’ve never seen seizures ever since…
I remember there was a day during Chinese New Year time, around early afternoon, I saw neuro doctor’s team came and doing rounding in the wards and doctor Terrence said “Hey mummy!” I said “Hi doctor Terrence!” You know what he said next? He asked me “Is there anything good happening? Because I see you are smiling.” Well I didn’t realize I was actually SMILING at that moment until he pointed it out LOL! I know most Indians don’t believe in our God so there was no point for me to tell him why I was happy, so I answered “No, nothing good happened acctually.” I assume that even if I told him miracle happened, he wouldn’t believe.
A few days later, a Chinese senior neuro doctor came and said “Mummy I just want you to know that it’s Chinese New Year so most of us are on leave this week, but doctor Terrence is on call. Please let him know if seizures came back ok?” I answered “Doctor I don’t think the seizures will ever come back again.” He said “I said IF it came back…” and I answered “IF seizures came back I’ll talk to God!” Hahahahaha, it’s so funny and sometimes I think I must be crazy even when I recall what I said to the doctor that day.
