Shannon and her husband Jerry were vacationing with their children when she suddenly began experiencing severe headaches. Within hours, the situation escalated. Shannon lost feeling on the left side of her body, and her condition rapidly deteriorated. Paramedics rushed her to a nearby hospital where doctors diagnosed her with a brain bleed.
Specialists explained that she had an AVM, a congenital defect involving tangled blood vessels in the brain and that when it ruptures, it often results in permanent disability or death.
The family returned home to await surgery. During that time, Shannon’s condition worsened. She could no longer walk unassisted, experienced double vision, and required constant care. Despite her weakness, Shannon continued volunteering at the Christian school her children attended.
Nearly one hundred students gathered around Shannon and began praying for her healing. Family members recall sensing the presence of the Holy Spirit during the prayer as the children laid hands on her and cried out to God.
Days later, Shannon was admitted for surgery. But within minutes, the procedure came to an abrupt halt. The AVM was no longer present. One nurse reportedly told the family, “God healed you.”
Shannon was discharged and returned home fully restored. Today, she lives without limitations and continues serving her family, church, and community. The Iverson family credits prayer and God’s intervention for her healing!
