My brother and I were wheeled into liver transplant surgery and twelve hours later, we came out! We came out! We came ooout! ALIVE!!! Truly, if that is not Emmanuel, God with us, present in both operating theatres at the same time, then what is? What is?

As planned and scheduled, bro was taken to HDU and I was taken to ICU. But behold the very next day, I was wheeled back into theatre and reopened to fix a few complications that had developed. No doubt I was held together by a team of doctors and nurses whose every hand, decision and moment was guided from above, and I still came out ….. ALIVE! That’s nothing else but GOD all over it! Only Him!

There is so soooo much I’m still processing… so much I’m yet to share on what has happened, and what is still happening, which I will once I finally find the words for it, or even have the capacity and time to do so somewhere down the road. But I know this for sure …… We have experienced the deep love behind the heavy price Jesus paid on the cross!

As I continue to take a break and fully focus on recovery, allow me for today, just today, to arrange for this brief but huge update and welcome you to this one truth! ….. WE ARE ALIVE! God kept us. God fought for us. Through the valley of the shadow of death, His presence never left - The Fourth man standing! His rod and staff comfort us through each step of this recovery journey.

In this very moment, I humbly ask just one thing… ONE☝🏼!
All because I know too well that many of you have faithfully called and still continue to call on the heavens on our behalf, and that of our entire family. To the fame of Christ and shame of the enemy, please join me in testifying and lifting a RESOUNDING SHOUT OF PRAISE, HALLELUJAH 🙌 AND THANK YOU 🙏 TO JEHOVAH RAPHA, THE MOST HIGH KING, FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE! FOR HIS LOVE AND MERCY 😭😭😭. HE IS WORTHY OF ALL THE PRAISE, GLORY AND HONOR!

Shalom, Shalom.

Ever wondered what happens when the liver gets a little too overwhelmed? Meet ascites — a medical term for fluid buildup in the belly due to liver cirrhosis.

When the liver is scarred and can’t do its job properly, pressure builds up in the veins and causes the abdomen to fill with fluid. The result? A belly that looks like you swallowed a watermelon… but not the fun kind. For me the fluid has sometimes built up over time or I’ll be super okay and when I wake up the following morning… my belly is stretched and heavy. No warnings.

I’ve pulled out a recent video to show what that looks like — again… not to scare, but to share. Let’s normalize learning because understanding is powerful, and this is part of the journey many warriors face behind the scenes.

Disclaimer : I’m not a medical professional — just sharing my journey, what I’ve experienced and learned from the front row.

COLO PART 2

Wanted to show you guys what sedation looks like every time I’ve gone in for a colonoscopy or endoscopy (though, yes, I’ve also braved an endoscopy with no sedation — the absolute Gherrooo 😭).

Please note that at this point of sedation, I’m in no pain, I’m okay, and honestly in high spirits. So fix your face and smile with me a little! I’d asked my doctor earlier if he could allow my mum to record the sedation bit, and being the cool doc that he is, he agreed. His work of maneuvering through the colon ain’t easy though… salute to that brilliance!

I remember wanting to sing before I went under. But when I came out of sedation, I couldn’t remember a thing, not even the singing. My concentration, eyes, tongue and throat gave in to the high 🤣, as expected! You’ll even see I tried to do a run at the end… but let’s just say, it did not run 😂😂.On to funny matters… Turns out I don’t close one of my eyes when sedated — yet I faithfully shut people’s half-open eyes when they’re asleep like it’s a calling 😂! I genuinely pray I shut both fully when I’m sleeping 🙈. Do you?

But here’s where it gets real… That Jesus loves me! And recently, when my Bishop leaned into the second line “This I know”, it hit different. It dawned on me that it’s one thing to say Jesus loves me. It’s entirely different know it, to live from that truth, to be comforted by it in a cold hospital gown… to smile through sedation and still feel held by God.To know is to be anchored, to trust that even in your most vulnerable, unguarded moments, God is still right there with His limitless love. Knowing is the kind of awareness that holds your hand when no one else can. Welcome to my world.

Discharged! I now no de suffer 🙌. Won’t HE do it? YES HE WILL! Won’t HE work all things together for my good? YES HE WILL! You can refer to previous posts for a picture of my health journey.

Thank you for all the prayer, encouragement and support 🙏

To anyone fighting any battle, a battle that seems endless … Hang in there and hold on. Your faith and hope candle may not burn bright now, but with every sunrise, focus on keeping it ON … that’s FAITH!

Never envisioned this to be my next health journey post … But here we are. I thought chronological from the very beginning in 2007 was good but you know what? Let’s do random 🙈!!! That record that my heart lands on when going through my archives … I caption and post 😊. You can refer to previous posts for a picture of my health journey.

This was me in casualty yesterday afternoon. Ended up being admitted to stabilizie the harsh effects of a coloprep I did for a colonoscopy done on Monday morning to check cause of prolonged diarrhea and bloody stool.

Good news though 🙌 I’m going home! I feel much much better. Doc is happy with progress and has signed off on discharge! I really thank God for His grace and mercy.
