Nurse Dressed in Green - Second Visit

April 28th 2015 Willie told me about a nurse who came and visited him. A nurse by the name of Loraine appeared to Willie after he came out of the coma. She was dressed in "apple green uniform". She said to Willie that he had a "double liver transplant".
At this stage the doctors in ICU did not want Willie to know that he had two liver transplants. They were shocked when they learned that Willie knew about the two transplants.
I ask about a nurse with the name Loraine, but they said their wasn't a nurse by that name and also the nurses wear blue uniforms.
All of us who prayed together realized that an Angel visted Willie twice. First she brought soup and secondly she told about the two liver transplants.
An Angel by the name of Loraine appeared to Willie after he came out of the coma. She was dressed in "apple green". She said to Willie that he had a "double liver transplant". The meaning of the name Loraine is: "Made famous in battle" and "Famous warrior of the Lord, she brings glory to God".

We the army of the Lord (body of Christ) took up our weapons of warfare - the Word of God and Prayer - and together with Loraine, the famous warrior of the Lord, we went into battle and the Lord said, the battle is the LORD'S.
The LORD is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?

Two colleagues from work visited Willie in ICU. Willie spoke about his work. He explained to them what he did before he became sick. He could remember everything about his job. The doctor asked me later what kind job he has as the doctors were amazed about the way Willie spoke with such insight into his job. May 5th 2015 Willie was transferred from ICU to a normal ward and the doctors said that if everything goes well, Willie could go home by the end of May 2015. May 6th 2015 Willie took his first steps and going home became a reality. Every day which followed Willie became better as he progressed in his recovery. A Physiotherapist came to him daily and helped him to walk and climb stairs. She helped him also with the walker.

May 18th 2015, the doctors decided that his progress was so remarkable that it is time to release him from hospital. This was planned for the next day. Many things had to be arranged for this to happen.
May 19th 2015, 12 days before the end of May 2015, Willie came home. Willie became better daily. He learned to walk again, I did not have to feed him any more, he could dress himself and many other things which we took for granted he had to learn all over again. Praise God for His goodness and grace which gave as a new lease on life.
The doctors wanted Willie to go on rehabilitation but that never happened. We give God the glory because He was in control of all things. Willie did not need to go to rehabilitation afterwards as God taught us what to do. One can call that "rehab at home under the guidance of the Holy Spirit". October 2015 Willie started working again for 3 days a week and January 4th 2016 Willie went back to work full time.

Summary by Willie:
I was 5 days in the hospital in Potsdam followed by 66 days in Charité hospital in Berlin. This includes 34 days in ICU and 9 days in an induced coma. So in total I was 71 days in hospital. The doctors said that I had an acute liver failure and that no reasons could be determined for my liver failure.

My recovery was very hard and difficult. I had many setbacks and issues during the first 1,5 years after the liver transplant, more about that in another testimony. Today I enjoy excellent health and my doctors are very happy with my progress. Praise God for His goodness and grace. He was with me all the time. He carried me through, as He said March 31st 2015, a tough and difficult time in my life. Praise God.
