Wealth and Well-Being Coach"This book is full of applications that you can use NOW, and begin the journey of recovering, gaining joy, and living a good life." by JA Owenby, FictiAuthor of the Truth Series.Sheri Kaye Hoff shares her miracle of survival, From the Author: Friday, July 10, 2015, I was in Louisiana with my husband and son for the Manning Passing Academy. My son Nick was attending and my husband and I were making a mini-vacation out of the trip. We also were traveling with friends. It was Day 2 of the academy and hot and humid. The boys were learning a lot and I was having fun checking out some historical civil war cemeteries, southern plantations, and of course, the seafood.The evening seemed uneventful. Randy (my husband) and Nick (my son) were sleeping in the hotel room, but I was having trouble relaxing. Every time I tried to lie down, I felt filled with anxiety. Eventually, I started pacing. Then, I put on some of my waterfall relaxing music. I was still tense and it was after 1 a.m. and starting a new day, Saturday the 11th. Then I started praying. My favorite go to prayer is the Lord's Prayer, but instead of relaxing, I began to be filled with alarm. I felt pressure in my body, but no pain. A voice whispered in my head, "At what point do I call 911? I thought I was having a panic attack. I woke up my hubby, and started saying, "Call 911, Call 911, Call 911," By the time he was dialing, I said, "I can't breathe, I can't breathe." I felt like I was drowning.As I was going unconscious, I cried, "Somebody, save me." My last vision was seeing my arm turn purple. I wanted desperately to live, but yet I felt strangely peaceful. Everything went black and then bright white. The next memory I have, I was hot and wrapped in a cocoon. I could hear voices, but couldn't move a muscle. I tried to open my eyes but felt like each eyelid weighed a thousand pounds. I kept telling myself, "Open your eyes", but I couldn't.Then I started thinking, "no one knows I am awake". I felt panic. I thought, "people might think I am dead". I heard voices around me and I tried to move my legs. I concentrated and tried moving my legs around, but I didn't know if they were moving or not. I thought they might be, but I didn't know for sure. (Later, my husband told me my legs were moving and he thought it was restless leg syndrome. I told him, "No, that was my signal that I could hear you".) Finally, my eyes popped open. A nurse said,"There she is." My eyes focused on my husband and son. They looked so scared but so relieved. I didn't know where I was and I had something in my throat. I couldn't talk.I motioned for a pen. I wrote: Where am I? Did I die?.I'm hot. I was in ICU and my lungs were filled with fluid. I was on a ventilator and not breathing on my own, which is why I couldn't talk. Suddenly, I was euphoric. I was alive. I had more time on this planet. I could see my children grow up, get married, and have kids. I would have more time with my family. I knew I wasn't done with this life. I wrote on my clipboard. "God is good." It didn't dawn on me that I was sick. Then I wrote, "I want this tube out." The answer was no, not until the next day. Tears stung my eyes, I wanted to talk.
