NANG MA-STROKE.

Kung hindi pa pala na-stroke si Ms. Annette Gozon-Valdes, GMA Films president, ay hindi niya malalamang may butas ang puso niya.
Aniya sa kanyang Facebook page nitong Sabado nang gabi, naikuwento niya sa asawang si Shintaro Valdes na pumilit sa kanyang magpa-check-up base na rin sa payo ng mga kaibigan, na ilang beses siyang nahilo at senyales na pala iyon ng stroke.
Post ni Ms. Annette, “MY TESTIMONY.
“I want to be living testimony to God's sovereignty, power and love so I decided to share on Facebook what I experienced these past 2 weeks.
“I had a stroke last May 25 and by God's grace, there was no impairment whatsoever. Due to this, I also found out I had a hole in my heart since birth and now it has been plugged.
“Last Tuesday (May 25), at around 1 PM, there suddenly were zapping zigzag lights on my right eye and when I stood up, my vision started spinning so I sat down, closed my eyes for 1 or 2 minutes while praying to God to remove the dizziness and zigzag flashing lines. I opened my eyes and the dizziness was gone. The flashing lights became a blurry cloud. So I went on my way and did all the normal things I do for the day. My vision was completely restored after about 4 hours.”
Ang kaibigan niyang si Kim Atienza ang nagrekomenda ng doktor na tumingin kay Ms. Annette.
Saad pa ni Ms. Annette, bago sila kumain ng hapunan ay sinabi niya sa kanyang mister ang nararamdaman niya at kaagad daw itong nag-panic.
Aniya pa, “Shintaro immediately panicked and messaged some of his friends who told him that it may be something serious and that I should see a doctor asap.
“Just to appease him, I agreed to consult via video call with Dr. Anna Sage Nolido who was recommended by Kim Atienza and Doc Marc Castro.”
Pinag-undergo raw siya ng mga doktor ng blood test, MRI at 2D Echo.
Aniya, “After the MRI, the doctors found out that I indeed had a stroke on 3 different areas of my brain! They told me that I would have to be admitted. Given the size of the stroke, it was truly miraculous that I had no impairment whatsoever!
“The next day, I was admitted to the hospital (after a negative result of my RT-PCR test) for tests to be done to find the cause of the stroke so it can be prevented in the future.
“Numerous tests were done and the doctors were able to determine the cause - I had a congenital hole in my heart (PFO) which causes turbulence in the blood flow in my heart which would have caused the clots that reached my brain. They advised me that it should be closed in order to prevent subsequent strokes.”
Tumagal umano nang 40 mins. ang matagumpay na procedure na isinagawa sa kanya noong Huwebes.
Masaya si Ms. Annette na nakauwi na siya at nagpapalakas.
Aniya pa, “No lifestyle or diet changes needed.
“GOD WORKS FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM, WHO HAVE BEEN CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE (ROMANS 8:28). I saw and felt God's loving and miraculous hands in this experience.
“1. GOD IS A GOD OF MIRACLES. The stroke should have impaired my vision and balance. But it did not.
“2. GOD'S HAND IS AT WORK CONTROLLING THOSE WHOM HE MAKES US COME ACROSS. I could have had a subsequent stroke if I did not have an MRI and later on found out about the hole in my heart.”
Nagpasalamat din siya sa mga pumilit sa kanyang magpakonsulta sa neurologist gayundin sa mga doktor niya, at sa kanyang pamilya at mga kaibigan.
Aniya pa, “And of course Shintaro Valdes who stayed with me in the room the whole time and who was even more emotionally affected than I was.”
Saad pa ni Ms. Annette, “GOD'S TIMING IS PERFECT. Praise God that the hole in my heart was just discovered now. If it were discovered when I was a child or teenager or even 16 years ago, I would have needed an open heart surgery to repair it.
“I AM SAVED ONLY BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH.
“The best thing of all that I realized is that I am really ready if and when God calls me back. I felt no fear whatsoever from the time my vision got impaired upto now that I am back home. In fact, I even felt excitement in case God called me home.
“But my life and my journey continues. I am still treading the road of sanctification. I can't wait for what lies ahead here. But even more so, I can't wait for what lies ahead there.”
Samantala, ipinost din ng GMA Films executive ang larawan ng ultrasound ng puso niya na makikitang may butas ito noong hindi pa siya dumaan sa procedure.
