(Minghui.org) As he was reaching for something on our roof on the morning of September 19, 2022, my husband fell off a ladder. I went outside to check on him and found him lying on the ground. My mind went blank and I didn’t know what to do.

I wanted to take him to the hospital, but he said in a very weak voice, “Please don’t touch me. Let me stay still like this for a while.” After 20 minutes or so, he was able to get up with my help. I helped him into the house. He wanted to sit down but he couldn’t. I noticed that he was able to move his arms, but his ribs were likely broken.

During the day, we kept reciting the auspicious phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Years ago we both practiced Falun Dafa, an ancient spiritual and meditation discipline, and regained our health. But my husband stopped practicing about ten years ago due to the persecution.

That afternoon, he was able to walk around, and the next morning he went out to the village and nobody could tell that he was injured. I discussed with my husband whether he should go to see a doctor for his broken ribs. He declined, thinking he could just rest at home and he would recover on his own. But at night, he got worse and I had to take him to the hospital. They gave him a CT scan.

In the hospital, his temperature suddenly dropped. He collapsed and lost consciousness. He regained consciousness, but the CT scan revealed six broken ribs and the presence of fluid and air in the space between his lungs and the chest wall. He was admitted to the hospital right away.

He was given all kinds of medications, but he just got worse and worse. He couldn’t lie down or sit up. The pain was beyond description. The second night he almost choked to death sipping water through a straw.

We started to wonder if staying in the hospital was the right decision, since whatever they were doing for him didn’t seem to help him.

Even though my husband hadn’t practiced Falun Dafa for many years, he still sought help from Dafa when he ran into situations. A few years ago when he had a heart attack, he kept reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and was out of danger in two hours. Another time he strained his knee and fully recovered in 18 days by reciting the phrases.

After my husband came home from the hospital, he decided to resume practicing Falun Dafa. He started read Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa once again.

About 10 days later, he stopped taking all his medications, and he looked much better. But his cough was getting worse, and the more he coughed, the more phlegm he produced. He worried about whether Master Li Hongzhi would still take care of him since he had stopped practicing Falun Dafa over ten years ago. I encouraged him to continue and said that our compassionate Master would help him.

About three weeks later, my husband could turn over in bed by himself, and a month later, he was able to get up with help. I suggested that he try to do the five Dafa exercises. He didn’t have to do all of them, just try his best. In about a month, he had enough strength to finish them all, although his breathing was very heavy, as if there was fluid in his lungs.

One day after doing the second exercise, my husband hurried to the bathroom feeling sick to his stomach. I heard him vomiting. My husband believed that Master was helping him to purify his digestive system and improve his health.

Five days later, his chest didn’t hurt anymore, and his stomach was no longer bloated and uncomfortable. When people saw my husband, they asked him, “Your breathing is normal now. How did you recover?” He replied, “I got better by practicing Falun Dafa!”
