More about Mario:"Well, where do I start. For all of my friends who haven't heard from me or seen me in years here is the biggest event in my life...
4 1/2 years ago i had a burning feeling in my chest. I went to the doctor and he treated me for acid refux for 5 months. Well, I wasn't feeling better and I went for a second opinion and it was my heart.
I was born with 3 deformed arteries that went to my heart. The doctors said i should of had surgery to fix it when I was 13. I didnt know this until 4 years ago. I had a test sheduled to do a catherazation of my heart.
Well, I have become a Born again Christian and they happened to have a healing mass 3 days before this test. I went there being a non believer in healing masses and walked out believeing. I know what I felt that night and no human words can describe what i felt. It was like something inside my chest was pulled and lifted out and a lighting bolt of energy going though my body all at once. It was amazing.
Anyway, I went for the test and the doctor looked me right in the eyes and said I had about 2 weeks left to live unless i go for a triple bypass right away.
Now at the time of what people would think is the worst news of thier life I started t...Expand for more
o praise Jesus. The doctors and nurses looked at me like I was crazy. But when the surgeon came to see me he asked me was i sure that I had these symptoms for 5 months. He said that with the symptoms that I had, i had about 3 weeks to get the surgery and not too many people live past the 3rd week and if they did it was 5 weeks the most.
They also said I should've had at least 65% damage to my heart but they can't explain why there is no damage at all. They said I should not be alive PERIOD. Well, I told them what happened at that mass and they said they believe it because they can not explain medically why i was alive and why my heart was in such great shape.
I went for the surgery and everything went so good that they said I was 100% cured. The surgeon who did the surgery was one of the top 5 heart surgeons in the U.S. and he said when he operated on me he saw that my heart was in better shape than he thought it was.
He said my heart and internal organs are in the shape of a 20 year olds. He said he never saw anything like this in all his years of surgery. He even said someone is looking down on you because thats the only excuse he could come up with for my heart being in such great shape.
Well, I am fine now and better then ever. I thank God and Jesus for healing me and keeping me alive today.
If anyone ever needs to talk to me about this just message me or maybe you know someone going through this and you want me to talk to them I would be more than happy to. I will say prayers for people just let me know.
Well, that's my story and I hope you enjoyed it. Sorry for such a long post.
Thank you and God bless.".
