March 16. 1998 I was admitted to Cedar-Sinai Hospital located in Beverly Hills California and was operated on CI and C2 by a top surgeon Dr. Rick Delamarter who performed a fusion using autologous bone it was accomplished with placement of two margril screws in the C1 and C2 and was a success.
After a few years I began having pain again in my head, shoulders and legs. I was given prescriptions by Dr. Herbert Pardell to help relieve the pain. I tried Zanaflex, Tizanidine, Ultram, Hydrocod/ibu and I still felt pain.
Last Oct, 08 I began experiencing a great deal of pain and was seen again by Dr. Pardell and he put me on Vicodin ES and Soma and advised me to have an M.R.I. and be seen by a Neurosurgeon. I was seen by four different Neurosurgeons.
In Jan, 09 I was seen by Dr. Rick Delamarter medical director of the spine institute in California. Click here to read more.
March 09,1 had an M.R.I. finding Degenerative Disc Disease at C3 through C6 a Disc Bulge at T9-10 a Disc Herniation at the C5-6 a Neuroforaminal Crowding at C5-6 and I was prescribed Skelaxin 800 MG several times a day.
April 09 I was seen by Dr. Gordon Haines. He read my M.R.I. and he prescribed new Medications, Morphine,Dilaudid and Lyrica because of my pain, plus continuing several high blood pressure pills.
At this time I was having excruciating pain and had a very hard time to walk, concentrate, sleep, or do anything and my walk was out of balance and I was bent over badly.
May ,09 I was seen by Dr. Douglas Smith Neurologist who had me go through an M.R.I. again and evaluated my condition which was worsening ,and contacted Dr. Brian Wheelock Professor and head of the division of Neurosurgery at the St John Regional Hospital. Please read The M.R.I. findings .On Aug 26 ,09 I was seen by Dr. Wheelock who examined me at the St John Hospital. He read my M.R.I. and then booked me for an operation on Oct 05, 09.

Above is a picture of myself taken 9-11-09 when I was severly ill as you can see.
On Sept 30. 09 Father Paul Erzoah-Bebodu new paster here at Holy Rosary R.C. Church came to my home with a brother of mine to meet me and pray for me. I had never met him prior. He saw the condition I was in and asked to pray over me. He gave me the anointment of the sick.
He applied Holy Oil on my forehead and both palms of my hand and began praying over me asking the holy spirit to heal me and take away the pain and disease from my body. I began hearing crackling in my ears from both of his hands that were over my ears and then felt a strange warm feeling from the top of my head to the pit of my stomach and my throat began feeling somewhat hard and it felt like it was closing in on me. Father continued praying and we said the our Father, Hail Mary and Glory to be.
He then said to me that I was healed completely and that he felt the pain from my body going through his hand and his fingers. I was sort of stunned, confused, and did not understand what just happened. He assured me that this was a healing and my brother and a few friends were there to hear him.

The day passed and I still felt pain and took my pills as usual. The following morning I woke up at 7:15 AM rather then 5AM " which I always did" in pain and would take my morphene but this a.m. I got up and realized I had no pain and I was walking straight. I was shocked and could not believe this.
I went downstairs and friends staying with me were shocked to see me walking so straight and no pain in my face. I took my pill as I was afraid that I would go into pain again and as the day went by I felt great, no pain and able to walk straight. I chose not to take any more pills that day to see if I would continue feeling great. At 6PM I called my brother and asked him to contact Father Paul and ask him to see me again. At 7:30 PM Father came to see me with my brother and I had a few friends present. Father came to me and said Francois you have been totally healed and you do not have to be operated .Just ask the doctor to have a test on you and you will see that you have been Healed by the Holy Spirit.
The following day, Friday I called the doctor's office and asked the secretary to have the doctor call me. He did that evening and this was 2 days of no pain, no pills, and walking straight.
Dr. Wheelock called me and I asked him if he believed in miraculous work and he said yes I do.So I told him my story and he expressed the opinion that I should still come to the St John hospital on Monday Oct 05th at 6AM and be admitted as schedule and that he would see me in the operating room but that he was going to review the M.R.I. that had been taken June 05 09. I said OK.
On Saturday I was determined to go to Mass at St Dunstan as I had been staying away from the church in Minto for several months as I did not want people to see me in my condition. I did attend mass at St Dunstan several times during the summer .I went to Mass with a few friends , my brother and his wife and I received communion from Father Jerry White.
At the end of the service Father White stopped me to say "I see you must have had an operation and it must have been a success ,as I have seen you here several times this summer and noted the pain on your face and that you had a very hard time walking". I said, No Father, I have been healed by Father Paul and have not been operated. Dr. Wheelock insisted I be admitted tomorrow for surgery."
I went to Saint John Regional Hospital early Monday morning ,Oct 5' 09 and was admitted to pre-op. Then they brought me into the OR to get me ready for this operation. I met Dr. Wheelock, Dr. Nice and other doctors whowere present to commence the operation. I was on the bed and Dr. Wheelock asked me how I was and I expressed to him that I was still feeling great, no pain now for five days and no medications "and why am I here."
He was reviewing my M.R.I. and the latest test with other doctors there. He finally came back to me and asked the nurse to lower me down and asked me to raise myself off the bed. I was a bit startled and asked him why?" He said I want you to walk down the long hallway" I did, there were several doctors and nurses present who observed me. At this point he asked me to walk back.
After walking back he said ,"I believe this is a miracle and I do not feel you need this operation. Get dressed, go home and rejoice. You are a miracle man".Click here to read Dr.Brian Wheelock's letter. Click here to read Dr. Gorden Haynes
There were several doctors and nurses that came to me and said "You are a miracle man".
This was so fascinating and I was so overwhelmed being free of pain, not needing drugs and having no side effects.
I truly feel I have been blessed with a miracle and will believe and say thank you so very much to the Holy Spirit and the Holy Man ,Father Paul. A Letter from Father Paul "Reflection on the day" and (Miracle of healing service by Francois Vautour)
Yesterday I spoke with Father White who expressed his happiness for me and he said you should get on the highest mountain and tell the world!!!
There are several of my friends here of all denominations who have gathered here this week and met Father Paul and are surely believers in this wonderful miracle. Two days after my hospital discharge on 'Oct 07,09' I awoke at 1AM .to find that water was coming out of both of my eyes and it lasted approx 12 minutes. I shared this with Father Paul and the Bishop and they both said this was a purification of my body. Click here to read the Bishop's letter
