Experience Description

The first experience was in 1995. I had an allergic reaction to Sulfa. After taking it, I went to the bathroom. I fell over while sitting on the toilet. I screamed, ‘Someone help me, I can't get up!’ My mom came running and my nephew got me up from the toilet and I remember walking out to the living room, really out of it. I heard, ‘Lay her down here.’ My nephew said, ‘Should we call 911?’ My dad said, ‘No, just wait, she will be okay.’ All I remember is a paramedic saying, ‘Kelly, stay with us!’ over and over again. Then I saw this tunnel with a bright light and I walked through it and on the other side, I saw my late grandmother and God, all in white, glowing. My grandmother turned to God and said, ‘She isn't ready to come in here.’ God said something, and I woke up in the emergency room. I turned to my dad, who was sitting beside my mom on my right, and I said to him, ‘Dad, Grandma says she is okay, and to stop worrying about her, she is fine.’ Dad was in tears. I went home the same day, which baffled doctors and nurses. I said, ‘I'm fine!’ and I left the emergency room. I said, ‘I'm hungry,’ so we went to McDonald's and I got a double cheeseburger, fries, and a milkshake. I was fine after that. When I got home, I asked, ‘What happened to me?’ My mom said, ‘You were dead for forty-five minutes and that nurse was yelling at me about you.’ They had to use the paddles on me, but nothing worked; that's what my Mom said. I don't remember anything after the paramedic was saying, ‘Kelly, stay with us.’

The second experience was in 1998. I took the Sulfa drug, but I don't remember where that was. I also had a very high fever. I remember going to the emergency room in the car. Next, I saw the tunnel that turned into a bright light and I walked through it. I saw my mom's best friend's late son and he turned to me and said, ‘Tell my mom, I'm fine and stop worrying about us.’ I woke up in the emergency room, turned, told Marge that Mike is fine, and to stop worrying about them. Marge was in tears. My mom said I was dead almost thirty-eight minutes.

The third experience was in 1999. I took Biaxan (drug) in Los Angeles. All I remember is the tunnel, bright light, and God all in white and my best friend who passed away in 1987. She said, ‘I'm fine.’ and I woke up. She had died from a drive-by shooting that happened in Long Beach. She was holding her then thirteen-month old daughter, who died eighteen years later from a drug overdose.
