A couple of months ago our medical team in Uganda reached out to us letting us know that a young mother, Mellony, was in distress after giving birth.
Her pregnancy seemed to have no complications and on July 31st she gave birth to a perfectly healthy baby girl. The two of them were sent home, but the next day Mellony was back in the hospital and it was discovered that she was suffering from severe anemia, hemolysis, and kidney failure.
As the days went on her symptoms worsened. Eventually, she needed to be put on dialysis and monitored constantly. After a week of minimal improvement, medical professionals were losing hope and they told our team that Mellony’s chances of survival were very slim as there was too much stain on her organs.
The team continued to pray for her diligently, sending her encouragement daily as well as making sure she had access to the care she needed. Just when it appeared that all hope was lost Mellony’s health took a miraculous turn for the better. Her Kidney functions improved astronomically and within a week of the turn around she was ready to leave the hospital. One nurse even said “I don’t know how she is alive, medically there is no explanation as to how she is still living and getting better”
What a testament to the power of our God and what can happen when we have faith in his healing power.
Mellony is now staying at one of the Impact Nations shelters with her baby and she has almost fully recovered! Mellony stated “I never expected to come back to life, I had already told my mother to take care of my baby because when I looked at what was happening to me, I felt my life going… I can’t thank you enough!”
