[Eng-Spa] I believe in miracles

Exactly 7 years ago on a Wednesday July 1st at 4 o'clock in the afternoon I was preparing everything to go downtown to get copies of my identity documents and university grades, because one of the best state oil and gas companies in Venezuela had called me for an interview with them, to do my university internships, So I was very busy and in that moment I took a car to get to the center of the city, at that moment a coworker of my husband called me and told me that he had had an accident and I was very scared but the coworker did not want to tell me what had happened, at that moment the only thing I did was to go straight to the hospital.

hace exactamente 7 años atras un miercoles 1 de julio a las 4 de la tarde estaba preparando todo para ir al centro de la ciudad a sacar unas copias a mis documentos de identidad y notas de la universidad , por que una de las mejores empresas estatales de petroleo y gas de Venezuela me habian llamado para una entrevista con ellos , para hacer mis pasantias de la universidad , asi que estaba muy atareada y en eso tome un carrito para llegar al centro de la ciudad , en ese momento me llamo un compañero de trabajo de mi esposo y me dijo que el habia tenido un accidente y yo me asuste muchisimo pero el compañero no me quiso espescificar lo que habia pasado , en ese momento lo unico que hice fue dirirgirme directo al hospital .

It was a little surprising because his partner never told me where they were, but I arrived right where they were, and suddenly I found the scene of seeing my husband lying down and I was going to take an x-ray of his entire spine because he could not move anything at all, I was there and when we saw each other the only thing we did was cry, he hugged me and told me that the pain was so incredible that he felt like he was going to die, so somehow he told me that he loved me and was like saying goodbye to me, I told him not to do that and to trust in God that everything was going to be ok.

Fue algo soprendente porque su compañero nunca me espescifico en que parte estaban, pero yo llegue justo donde estaban ellos , y de repente me encuentro la escena de ver a mi esposos acostado que le ibana tomar una placa en toda la columna porque no podia moverse absolutamente nada , estaba alli y cuando nos vimos lo unico que hicimos fue llorar , el me abrazo y me decia que el dolor era tan increible que sentia que iba a morir , asi que de alguna manera el me decia que me amaba y estaba como despidiendose de mi , le die que no hiciera eso que confiara en Dios que todo iba a estar bien .

Of course it is difficult to say that when the truth was not well, the only thing left to do was to trust, then when I left the area where they had him while they were doing the plaque, a co-worker told me what had happened.

It turns out that they were about to finish their workday, he was working at that time in a stationery store and was going with his partner to bring material up to a 4th floor to leave it stored, the partner told him that he was going to take it up and my husband insisted that he was not going to do it, that there was no problem, and so he went up to take the material but when he was going down to the first floor to go home, the elevator came off with him inside.

Claro es dificil decir eso cuando la verdad no se estaba bien solo quedaba confiar , entonces cuando sali del area donde lo tenian mientras le hacian la placa un compañero del trabajo me conto lo que habia pasado .

Resulta que ellos ya estaban a punto de terminar su jornada laboral , el trabajaba en ese entonces en una papeleria e iba con su compañero a subir material a un 4 piso para dejarlo guardado , el compañero le comenta que el lo iba a subir y mi esposo insistio que no que el lo hacia , que no habia problema , y asi fue el subio a llevar ese material pero cuando iba a bajar a planta baja para irse ya en ese momento a su casa , el ascensor se desprendio con el adentro .

That was crazy, something amazing, they tell me that he tried to get up in desperation when they went to help him, but his body did not respond.

By the time the doctors had done the x-ray, we found out that he had fractured his spine, and had 4 fractures in his foot, I was so grateful that he was alive, for me it was a miracle, if it had been his companion (a very thin boy) he would have died because his body would not resist the impact.

Eso fue una locura , algo sorprendente , me cuentan que el trato de levantarse ene l mismo desespero cuando lo fueron a a auxiliar , pero el cuerpo no le respondia .

Para cuando los medicos ya le habian realizado la placa , nos enteramos que se habia fracturado la columna , y tenia 4 fracturas en el pie , yo no la verdad estaba a pesar de todo tan agradecida de que estuviera vivo , para mi fue un milagro , si hubiera sido su compañero (un muchacho muy delgado ) hubiera muerto porque su cuerpo no iba a resistir el impacto .

After that day we were living in the hospital for literally 3 months, I remember that day I went to look for my things in the house, some sheets, some important things and I just went to live there with him, because I knew he needed me.

He lasted 15 days before he was operated on, so he was inert, stiff in bed without any movement, and the day he was operated on I think I let out all the tears I had not let out so he would not see me cry, I remember asking the doctors if he would walk again and no one could tell me, I just wanted to know to prepare myself psychologically to know what I would have to face and do the best way. After that day we were living in the hospital for literally 3 months, I remember that day I went to look for my things in the house, some sheets, some important things and I just went to live there with him, because I knew he needed me.

Despues de ese dia estuvimos viviendo en el hospital literalmente 3 meses , recuerdo que ese dia fui busque mis cosas en la casa , algunas sabanas , algunas cosas importantes y simplemente fui a vivir alla con el , porque sabia que necesitaba de mi .

El duro 15 dias antes de que lo operaran , asiq ue estaba inerte , tieso en la cama sin ningun tipo de movimiento , y el dia que lo operaron creo que solte todas las lagrimas que no habia soltado para que no me viera llorar, recuerdo que preguntabaa los medicos si el caminaria otra vez y nadie me sabia decir , yo solo queria saber para prepararme psicologicamente para saber a que me tendria que enfrentar y hacer de la mejor manera .

Thanks to God he managed to come out of that operation with success, it is something very strong that kind of operation and the pain is enormous, even so we saw the hand of God bless us and give him the strength to face it.

Then to operate on his foot the process was very slow, the health system in Venezuela works with everything they can despite the difficulties, but it is very complicated, as a reaction to the sudden fall he had inflamed all the internal organs of his body so there were values that had very altered and until they were not normalized he could not be operated and so it was 2 months, until they took the decision to operate on his foot and everything went well.

Gracias a Dios el logro salir de esa operacion con exito, es algo muy fuerte ese tipo de operacion y el dolor es enorme , aun asi vimos la mano de Dios bendecirnos y darle la fortaleza necesaria para enfrentarlo .

Luego para operarlo del pie el proceso fue muy lento , el sistema de salud en Venezuela tarabaja con todo lo que puede a pesar de las dificultades , pero es muy complicado , como reaccion a la caida brusca el tenia inflamado todos los organos internos de su cuerpo asi que habian valores que tenia muy alterados y hasta que no se normalizaran no iba a poder ser operado y asi paso 2 meses , hasta que tomaron la decision de operarlo del pie y todo salio bien .

It is incredible because as soon as we were discharged to be able to return home, that was a Friday morning, that same day they called me again from the oil company where I was going to do my internship and I explained everything that happened, they told me to go on Monday if I could and although I was reluctant to go because of the same situation of my husband, he motivated me to go, they interviewed me on Monday and on Wednesday of that week I started my internship, my family supported me by taking care of my husband while he was in the internship and then I was incarcerated.

I can simply say that I lived and was part of a miracle, God took care of him and preserved him, today he walks and leads a life as normal as possible.

Es increible porque apenas nos dieron de alta para poder regresar a casa , eso fue un dia viernes en la mañana , ese mismo dia me llamaron nuevamente de la petrolera donde iba a hacer mis pasantias y le explique todo lo acontecido , me dijeron que fuera el dia lunes si podia y aunque estaba renuente para ir por la misma situacion de mi esposo , el me motivo a ir , me entrevistaron un lunes y el miercoles de esa semana comenze mis pasantias , mi familia me apoyo cuidando a mi esposo mientras estaba en las pasantias y luego yo me encarcaga .

yo simplemente puedo decir que vivi y fui parte de un milagro , Dios lo cuido y lo preservo , hoy en dia el camina y lleva una vida lo mas normal posible .

Real life and its challenges sometimes blind us to see how God has his hand all around us, we just have to focus our spiritual sight to recognize it.

La vida real y sus desafios a veces nos ciegan para ver como Dios tiene su mano en todo nuestro alrededor , solo tenemos que enfocar nuestra vista espiritual para reconocerlo .
