Complex congenital heart disease defeated

DOMINION 2025, TAKING CHARGE EVERYWHERE, I HAVE IT HOW I WANT IT.

In the beginning of the year 2025, Dr Pastor Paul Enenche asked us to write our prayer requests for the year on a plain sheet, I wrote down three requests. In the month of May this year, I testified of one which is how God miraculously gave me a Job in the US after I attended the interview wearing my garment of favor. The second is that God granted my family safe relocation to join me in the US. What makes this two testimonies even more significant is this third testimony.

In the year 2023, I received a medical report that my 3yrs old son has congenital heart disease, a large VSD(hole in the heart). This report broke me and took away sleep from me. On one of those nights that I couldn’t find sleep I decided to check out the prayer link that my colleague would always post on the Watsapp group and since that day I have been glued to this CTDMP alter. On this prayer alter, I found peace and renewed hope while I constantly presented my son’s case to God and claimed every declaration of healing concerning CHD. Sometime in the same 2023 I had a leading to take IELTS exam and at that time I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it but I went ahead and took the exam. The very week the result came out, a professional colleague of mine posted on our group that whoever needs guidance on job route to US should reach out to him. I reached out to him and decided to give it a trial since I already had one of the requirements- IELTS of 7.0.

I dedicated 6months to prepare for the professional exam(ASCP) and by Gods grace I passed. On one of our visits to the hospital my Son’s cardiologist in Enugu advised that we take him for surgical repair in a hospital in Lagos. In Lagos, they discovered he not only had VSD but also PDA, double outlet right ventricle and severely stenosed left pulmonary artery and the surgery was to cost about 18million naira.(Note: My husband and I earned less than 200k each monthly so raising this amount was practically impossible).

The following week I got an email that I was successful with the job interview and as God will have I got it in a state with the best children’s hospital in the world. So our only option was to hold off on the surgery till we got to the US. September this year in the US, they performed cardiac MRI and cardiac catheterization and discovered the condition was even more complex than the prior result we had. This time they noted that in addition to the other findings, he also has superior-inferior ventricles and that his left ventricular end diastolic pressure is very high, so they decided to place him on an additional medication called Dapaglifoxin (prescribed for heart failure) for 6months to hopefully bring the pressure down before proceeding to surgery. This would mean that the surgery would likely be in April 2026 if his heart responds well to the medication. At this point, I didn’t know what to pray about anymore, all I cried to God each day on this alter was for him to show my son mercy, reminding him that my third prayer point early this year is that ‘I want to celebrate the end of year 2025 with my son having a healthy heart’. In the month of November, my son fell ill. He had one week of constant high fever without any known cause. Over 30 lab tests done including full body MRI didn’t reveal anything and they were certain the fever wasn’t heart related. Few days after his discharge, the cardiologist called me saying that considering this fever of unknown cause they are deciding to proceed with the surgery in december so his heart can be in a better condition to fight off infections that comes with the winter season. Within me I was certain this is God answering my third prayer request. Few days to the surgery my husband and I were invited for briefing about what to expect and the possibile complications that might arise which included 1)Possibility of him having to be on pacemaker given the complexity of the surgery 2) Tendency that the left ventricle which has very high end diastolic pressure may not adjust well to the new blood flow post surgery. Then finally that we should prepare for hospital stay of 2weeks or more. Within me I kept saying all these complications and concerns have been nailed on the cross of Calvary and that my son cannot die like a chicken and that became my prayers from then.

On the morning of the surgery, Dec 18th, 2025. I read to him prayer number 5 from CTDMP of Dec 17th. After 8hrs of Surgery, the surgeon came out with a smile on his face and said everything went well and there was no need for pacemaker and that his ventricles are responding well to the new circulation. He only spent a day in ICU. When his cardiologist visited at the ward, she said he is recovering so fast, far beyond their expectations. The next day the surgeon came in and said ‘this kid is such a strong kid, I wonder where he gets his strength from’ and then I replied it’s from God. On 24th December which was just 6days post surgery, he was discharged and ‘I have it just the way I want it’-celebrating the end of the year 2025 with my son having a healthy heart.

Looking back at the sequence of events -The miracle job -The relocation to America -The receiving care from the best Children’s hospital in the world -The timely intervention which prevented his condition from progressing to heart failure -The strange one week high fever that led the surgeons to move the surgery to this year so my third prayer request can be fulfilled. I am just totally amazed at the awesomeness of God and his power at work in this commission and my family is eternally grateful to him and grateful for Dunamis Church.
