In March 2011, Roxana brought Candela to a hospital in their hometown of Paraná, northeastern Argentina, “with refractory status epilepticus.”
“I took her to the pediatric hospital in Paraná and she was admitted to therapy. In a few hours, she was in a coma, on a respirator. She had convulsions and they tried different anticonvulsants, but nothing worked,” Roxana told reporters in an interview with the Argentine news site Infobae.
The numerous daily epileptic seizures made it necessary to intubate her daughter, who was transferred in an ambulance for more than 300 miles to the intensive care unit in the Favaloro Foundation research hospital in Buenos Aires in May that year.
“Since we had arrived at Favaloro, Cande got worse instead of better. She had no life expectancy. They even told me to go back to Paraná so that she would die at home,” Roxana said.
But after praying with Fr. Dabusti for the intercession of John Paul I, her daughter began to show signs of improvement overnight.
Roxana later admitted that she knew little at the time about the Italian pope, who had served only 33 days in office before dying unexpectedly in 1978. But she told the Argentine news site that she trusted what the priest was proposing to her without hesitation and asked the intercession of Pope John Paul I exclusively.
