A Little Girl's OBE NDE
I was 3 yrs old. at the time my brothers were 4 and 1yrs old. my father
was in the Air Forse and had brought home staphlicocus(?) a staph
infection. I remember being very, very cold and shaking. My body and
mostly my head and legs felt on fire. inside. I was trying to not feel
anything, I remember thinking so hard in my head to make it go away and
then all of a sudden I was warm. I opened my eyes and I was sitting on a
shelf or something in the hospital room where i was. I saw a little girl
in the bed. she was so still and frozen. SHE WAS IN A BED OF ICE. my
mother and father were standing above her and a man in a long jacket. A
doctor? I listened to my mother and father talking to the doctor they
were talking about my little brother Russell. My mother was upset because
my brother was going to have to "learn to walk again." When I heard my
mother say those words I got angry. It occured to me at that moment that
the little girl was me. I got angry because I (the I in the bed) was so
very cold and so still and needing help and my mother was not helping me
and my father wasnt helping me and they all seemed to not care that I was
so very cold. As soon as I got angry I was back in the bed of ice and I
screamed. It was then that my parents and the doctor turned their
attention to me. (the me in the bed that is).
It was many years later that I was old enough to put into words what had
happened to me in the hospital. I remembered the feeling of being warm
and looking down at myself in the bed. I was only 3 at the time and doubt
that I could have imagined what things would look like from that angle
nor do I think I could have known that I was in danger of dying or have a
concept about "learning to walk" again. When I was in my teens I learned
of the strep that the family had, and that I had it worse than any of the
family and that I was indeed packed in ice to bring down my fever, and
yes, my little brother did have to learn to walk again when he got back
on his feet.
I am not sure if this was a near death experience (they did have to
perform emergency surgical proceedures to cut the infection before it
entered a major artery) or if it was an OOBE connected to my wanting to
make it stop so bad. In any case, it remains just as clear to me today as
ever.
