DEVOTEE EXPERIENCE

 

I am Sai devotee since my childhood. My day starts with Sai prayers. In every

distress and trouble Sai helps us always. On Sunday 3rd Sept, 2006, my Daddy

suddenly started getting hiccups. He took some home medicine. The whole day he

was getting hiccups continuously for 2 - 2 ½ hours. They would stop for some

time and then start again for 2 - 2 ½ hours. As it was Sunday, we telephoned

the doctor. He told us to give him one tablet.

 

He took the medicine but that did not help. On Monday morning we took him to the

doctor. He took the prescribed medicine, had his lunch and went to sleep.

Usually he takes rest only for 2 hours, 1.30 pm to 3.30 pm. That day till 4

o’clock he was fast asleep, it became 4.15 pm but there no sign of his waking

up. My sister and I called Daddy, he responded but turn his side and again

slept. We waited for another 15 minutes and again called him but again he

changed the side and slept.

 

We found something strange. Immediately we prepared sugar water solution as

Daddy is a diabetic patient, but he refused to take it. Somehow we managed to

make him to sit and tried giving water but he threw it out of his mouth. I went

to call a nearby Doctor who usually comes by 5.30 pm but luckily that day he was

there at 4.45 pm. The Doctor checked his diabetes on a glucometer and said it

had fallen to 20 and we should rush him to the hospital.

 

Daddy had become semi unconscious. We called up our cousin brother, who was

luckily in a nearby area and reached the hospital before us. Our neighbors

helped us to take Daddy to the hospital. Through the traffic jam we managed to

reach the hospital. My brother had already met the doctor and kept things ready.

Hospital doctors immediately put him on glucose. Within ½ hour after admission

he became fully conscious and was surprised that he was in the hospital. His

condition was diagnosed as pneumonia patch on his lungs, starting of jaundice,

chest congestion. The pneumonia patch had touched the diaphragm, the reason for

the continuous hiccups. Because of all these internal complications his sugar

levels had become so low.

 

He was in the hospital for 8 days. Now, he is completely all right. Doctors said

diabetes count of 20 is too dangerous and at a count below 30, a person cannot

survive. That can even lead to some dangerous side effects. Also, his pneumonia

was detected on time. Our saver Sai helped us.

 

When my daddy was in the hospital, one evening my younger sister was returning

home from the hospital. Her leg got stuck in one pothole and she had a fall. Her

ankle got twisted and she was unable to get up. She was crossing the lane.

Suddenly one rickshaw stood next to her and she somehow managed to get up and

get into the rickshaw. The rickshaw driver started the rickshaw without asking

her anything. After some time she told him where to take her. She had fractured

her leg. After putting plaster on her leg for 1 ½ month, she is okay now. From

where did the rickshaw arrive right on time? Who else other than Sai can send

help.

 

By the grace of Baba, both my sister and daddy are fine now.
