Events planner Kevin Ombajo, popularly known as Big Kev is one man who can truly testify that God exists and His power is stronger that anything. Since he was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2010, he has been under the knife five times, but he is still pushing on.
He has taken the chance to explain his journey after learning he had brain tumor and how everything went down.
He wrote, "Morning Folks. A quick epilogue to my stay at NBI Hsp three things to take home.........we serve a big and powerful God, He is sovereign and the power of agreement in prayer. Six years ago I was Sitted on my bed in our bedroom fooling around with my wife and daughter....i had just sent a text to someone when something took over my body....something like I had never felt before......A powerful force. I fought it with all my might until I fell unconsciousness...........most people will never experience a seizure in their lives and I pray you do not....its like your Muscles go crazy.......there is someone inside forcing you to fold your arms, neck and legs when you want to straighten them out and vice versa.......the more you fight, the stronger he gets......you wrestle this way until you pass out.........then, only blackness." That is one crazy situation if you ask me.
He goes ahead to explain what happened when he woke up and finding himself in hospital.
"When I woke up my bed was soaked with blood because I had almost bitten my tongue off....that wound is there to date..... I was rushed to hospital unconscious....when I woke up we agreed to do tests and scans that revealed a 5cm tumour in my brain right side......... We also decided to have it surgically removed immediately to prevent further attacks.........i then became familiar with a process known as physiotherapy and an even more painful drawn out process called occupational therapy.....where you undergo stretches and the therapists teach your brain how to do the simplest things like holding a key to a door. I have repeated this process every year since then....sometimes twice."
He further explains the difficulty that comes with seizures, "Apart from the pain in the process, seizures have some common characteristics....they are unpredictable, scary and demand one end result. *total submission* if you do not totally submit.....the likely outcome is injury to self....the biggest torture though is seeing how the condition affects loved ones....in between not knowing...its like having a terrorist live inside you.........no time for John Wayne and Bruce Lee theatrics....total submission and total helplessness in the midst of not knowing when and where this terrorist inside your body will strikenrxt.........i read that most seizure patients harbor suicidal thoughts......they just want it to end. The rest has just been a blur."
Big Kev feels like the sickness robbed him of millions, time, resources and much more. But he has never doubted the power of prayer and faith.
"Its a chapter im determined to leave behind me for good....there is nowhere I have not gone in search of a cure and nothing I have not been prepared to.........interesting to note that over the last two months I have had *four* of these attacks........in class with my colleagues. With my driver, at home with the maid opening the door for me and most painfully a nasty fall in front of my young daughter and later Having her witness daddy shaking on the ground."
"As I prepare to leave hospital tomorrow and leave this invader with its daily headaches and migraines behind....I want to thank God for my healing, my friends and family especially my wife Tracy and my sisters and brothers,my work colleagues the Muscles community my doctors and the entire medical fraternity, my classmates and all those who have reached out during this difficult journey....My last scans show that we are finally on the way to clarity..............i have tried many things but clarity only came when I went back and submitted to the source.regardless of anything else....take home that God healed me for His glory See y'all back on stage and at the Gospel Extravaganza towards the end of the year...God still has a lot of work for me to do.......so I shall not die but live to proclaim His Goodness. I pray that my story will be an encouragement to someone who needs it.....count it all joy even when things don't always go your way......the darkest hour is just before dawn #Baraka #BigKevKenya."
We wish Big Kev nothing but the best in his path to total recovery.
