Shot in the forehead... Yet survived

Doctors say "No surgery necessary, for now"

 

Around midnight on Sat, 25 August, an assailant shot Zuko from close-range.

By the grace of God, he was able to still drive his car home - for 9 kilometres! He lost consciousness - and All Saints Hospital immediately transferred him to (witheld) Hospital.

Meanwhile, prayers were offered up for him from many parts of the country, including Church of God Ministry, Jesus Dominion International, Christ Embassy, and...


 

Same Sunday evening, 26 August, Zuko regained consciousness and started to open one eye. Later on the same evening, he regained his mobility - and even read his cellphone text messages.

By the time he was airlifted to (witheld) Hospital at 7:48am on Monday, 27 August, Zuko could sit up and was fully-functional.


 

After observing him for a while, the neurologists and doctors at (witheld) finally decided on Wednesday, 29 August... THERE IS NO NEED TO OPERATE ON HIM AT THE MOMENT. Now, he will remain in hospital for a few weeks, then the doctors would advise what to do next.


 

Hear what our family's medical people have to say...

"Yi-miracle nyhani leya. God's hand was upon him from the moment the bullet was fired. Even the doctor said – 'we've never seen anything like this, it's a miracle!' Those doctors never needed 2 touch him. God was the master-surgeon!

According 2 medical science - no patient with a gunshot head-wound behaves like u-bhut'Zuko. Medically, he required urgent surgery. When he was airlifted Monday morning, Mom prophesied uba 'the doctors at (witheld) will turn him back without operating.' I thought to myself 'ah-ah, he needs it urgently.' Monday night he was planned for theatre, Tuesday we woke up kusithwa he wasn't operated on. As a doctor, I was even more worried!! But at the back of my mind I remembered that prophecy. Bhut'Zuko is a miracle!!!! Those doctors must have also been puzzled! Once u decide that a patient needs an op - and u even set the time and explain to the family that he will be operated Monday at 8pm - you don't just change yo mind like that! Not after committing yourself. But medical science only goes so far! God was the master neuro-surgeon ku-bhut'Zuko.

Even the route the bullet took, it entered thru forehead (and was meant to exit at the back of the head - which would mean death). But after it entered the head, it changed direction. It was like God said 'Not this one!' It entered the front part of the brain and immediately went down thru the nose, mouth, neck (missing the great blood vessels, airway and spine), to settle in the chest (without touching the heart, lungs and great blood vessels). Indeed a big miracle! Truly God saved him!! Medically I've never seen it, it's a miracle!"

"Ndiyaguga kwa-nursing, azange ndawubona onje ummangaliso. How blessed we are to have onje u-Thixo!!" (IsiXhosa asi-tolikwa, but we'll make an exception here) "I've been a nurse for a long time now, I've never seen this type of miracle. How blessed we are to have a God like ours'!!"
