 My name is Louana Dimler,I am a 31 year old wife & a mother of two vibrant,young boys.This may sound typical and for the most part,normal,however for me it is nothing short of a MIRACLE!I truly am alive & well today, AGAINST ALL ODDS... Fifteen years ago,at the age of 16,I was in an accident that nearly ended my life.Before I go on,let me say that I DO believe the only reason that I am alive is because I had praying family members & we DO have a merciful God! Back at the scene of the accident....... I was a passenger on the back of a motorcycle & as we were going through an intersection we were side swiped by a car attempting to turn on a red light.The impact of the hit sent me sailing through the air,with my leg remaining behind,caught between the car & the bike (the least of my worries). When I landed,my head apparently hit a cement curb retainer giving me a severe head concussion.My parents as well as other family members remained at my bedside day after day,as I remained in a coma,for 2 months straight. I want you to know that while the doctors were saying to my family that,"Your time would be better spent at home preparing yourself to be able to adequately care for a mentally incapable individual",my family absolutely refused to accept this diagnosis.They prayed & they prayed and then they prayed some more. Now,you can believe what you chose,but what I have to tell you next is nothing short of a miracle,to me.On Dec/12 after being in a coma for two months I became conscious.I knew where I was & that I had had my lower left leg amputated,but I didn't know that I had been in a coma for two months.Imagine waking up tomorrow & it being two months down the road!For the better part of that first day,I felt like I was dreaming & that this wasn't really happening. Besides the fact that I am alive,the biggest miracle to me,is that while I was in the coma,my mind had adjusted to the fact that my leg had been amputated. From the moment I became conscious,I knew that my leg had been amputated & I was OKAY with it!I had previously been a cross country runner & had won several trophies & ribbons & I know that if you would have asked me,before the accident,how I would cope as an amputee,I probably would have said NOT well!! Well,I will tell you that I cope just fine.I am repeatedly told that,"you cannot tell that I have a prosthesis".I am a Certified Dental Assistant & I am happily married & the Mother of two boys. Please know that things can happen when you least expect it,so try to always resolve issues with your family members,in a timely fashion.Peace makers,& you know who you are,do not ignore the prompting to "make things right" with a loved one. Thank you for taking the time to read through my site, I pray that you have been encouraged. God Bless You, Louana Dimler PS.
