About Us:

I was on my way to church that Sunday to drop off my husband's poetry. I kissed him good bye and told him I would see him later. He was expecting a telephone call, so I had given him my cell phone to use.

About 10 minutes later, while I was driving on the Florida Turnpike, my vision started getting blurry. Cars suddenly would disappear what seemed like a mirror abysses. I knew that I had to pull over; as this was not normal.

Because I did not have my cell phone with me, I put on my flashers and waited for someone to stop. But no one stopped. So I prayed to God and asked if He could please help me. I asked God to help me drive my car and not kill or hurt anyone in the process. Having strong faith and trusting the Lord, I started my car and drove with my emergency lights on; driving with my left hand on the wheel and my right hand over my left eye. I drove about 25 minutes this way to the Emergency Room at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Palm Beach, Florida. Once again, no one stopped or noticed me. The reason for this, I believe, is because God was taking care of me and keeping me safe.

When I arrived at the hospital, a woman asked me what was wrong. When I told her that I had blurred vision she parked the car for me. They tested me for Diabetes. Thank goodness that test came back normal. Next they tested me for Glaucoma. This test also came back normal. After both of those tests were done, the technician then said they would like to do a Cat Scan on me. The results of this showed a very large mass on the right side of my brain. I was diagnosed with a brain tumor! I could not believe it.
