Title: Miracles happen everyday....True story!
Post by Patrick_A on Aug 10^th, 2003, 9:34pm

My Mom was a RN at a Nursing home. I used to get tears in my eyes when she would tell this story.

There was a girl who was in a very bad car wreck, 17 years old and in a Coma! After being in the hospital for a long length of time with no brain activity, Her Doctor asked her parents what they wanted to do. They refused to give up so they had her transferred to the Nursing home. She lay there in her bed comatose for 6 1/2 years. Then 1 day, she just woke up. Of course all of her muscles had completely atrophied, but she was completely and mentally intact. My Mom said she was sharp mentally and she had no apparent difficulties as far as brain damage. No, she had no recollection of her accident and she had vague memories of her past life. She went through the physical therapy, and after approximately 6 months she walked out of the nursing home on her own. She is now leading a normal life!
My Mom told this story with such emotion, and when she told it to me, I would get these awesome chillbumps down my back. Definitly a true miracle!

I wish miracles for all, Patrick

Yes miracles do happen. This is a story about my wife... http://simivalleyhospital.com/pages/Services/Rehab/YvetteFord.html
She is still not completely recovered after 6-1/2 years but is doing much better than the clueless doctors said she would. Not that we dont know anything about clueless doctors? :P

That is a miracle in the truest sense. People usually don't come out of a deep, lengthy coma.

Thanks for telling us your story, Frank.

God, keep blessing Franks family please!
