One night, things didn’t seem great with their daughter, Anna, who started vomiting and complaining of stomach upsets. With time, the girl starts developing pains, and her mother, Christy, notices that all is not well with her daughter.
Kelvin and Christy Start Taking Anna to Different Hospitals
Kelvin and Christy are worried about what is happening to their daughter, greatly threatening their new farming business. They start taking Anna to different hospitals, and one doctor says that Anna is suffering from gastroesophageal reflux disease and that by following a strict diet discipline, she will be fine.
Although they followed everything the doctor told them, the pain in Anna’s stomach became unbearable. One night, they had to rush Anna to the hospital in an emergency because the pain was quite acute.
The doctor gave Anna the usual diagnosis for the fourth time. Christy, her mother, is uncomfortable with the results and complains to the doctor to conduct a thorough diagnosis to know what’s wrong with her child.

Christy yells in the hospital until the doctor agrees to check Anna again thoroughly. Christy was right; her daughter was suffering from something serious. According to the doctor, Anna had a total abdominal obstruction disorder that needed immediate attention, or she would lose her young life.
Immediately, Anna is subjected to the emergency process, which involves some of the most uncomfortable and painful procedures for the young girl. Because of the uncomfortable process, her mother could not hold herself from seeing and hearing her daughter weeping.

That rekindled the heart of Anna and the doctor decided to release her. He recommends that they see a psychologist while spending more time with her as a family.
While at home, Christy contacts a psychologist while Anna and her sister go to play outside. They even climb a tree as they have always done in the past to have a great view of their farm compound. While sitting on a branch enjoying the view, it cracks, and with fear, Anna tries to climb down.

It has been three hours, and the firemen have not been able to retrieve Anna. A fireman calls her name, but she doesn’t answer. Christy cannot hold it anymore and kneels at the bottom of the tree to pray for her daughter. Her husband, their children, and church members join them too.

Anna Recovers Fully
At home, Anna becomes active and plays dangerous games she could not play before falling. Her mom is surprised, and she even explains it to her husband. Anna no longer takes medicine but has no pain, and her stomach has returned to normal.
One day, Anna tells her parents what happened to her when she fell into that hole. She says that she saw her body lying lifeless and a butterfly on the walls of the tree. She touched the butterfly, and it opened her into a beautiful garden.
Although she never knew where she was, she felt safe and secure. She then walked on the clouds and heard Jesus say she had to return. Although Anna never wanted to return, Jesus assured her she would return healed.
