More evidence of miracles: 'Dead mother and son' alive after Christmas 'miracle'

A mother from Colorado who doctors said had died while giving
birth to her son, has said it is a Christmas miracle that both
she and the boy are alive.
Tracey Hermanstorfer's heart stopped beating and her son Coltyn
appeared lifeless after the Caesarean section on Christmas Eve
(24 December).
However a few minutes after he was delivered, both began
breathing again.
Dr Stephanie Martin told Good Morning America she could not
explain how the pair survived.
Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike told the American
television show that their baby was now healthy and they were
doing "good" following the drama at Colorado Springs Memorial
Hospital.
'Heart attack'
The couple, who already had two children, had to go into the
hospital seven weeks earlier than planned.
Her husband, 37, said his wife was tired after receiving an
epidural during the labour but after closing her eyes, she
"wasn't waking up".
She stopped breathing and she is believed to have suffered a
heart attack before her heart stopped beating entirely.
Dr Martin said she was called in and the outlook was grim since
in most situations like this, "despite the best efforts of the
team", the mother was often unable to be revived.
She said doctors then tried to focus on delivering the baby but
when he was born he was "limp" and "completely lifeless".
Mr Hermanstorfer told the Associated Press news agency: "I had
everything in the world taken from me, and in an hour and a half
I had everything given to me."
Dr Martin said she did not have a "great explanation" for why Mrs
Hermanstorfer's heartbeat returned.
"Somewhere between four and five minutes she had been without
heart rate and had stopped breathing a minute or two prior to her
heart stopping," she said.
The doctors were then able to resuscitate the baby.
Despite tests, she said doctors were still not sure about what
had happened.
However Mrs Hermanstorfer and her husband Mike have said they
believed it was down to a miracle.
She said: "I got a second chance in life."
Dr Martin said she would take help from wherever it came.

>More evidence of miracles.
I was going to post this myself. You said that it never happened that
someone's heart stopped and then they came back to life, and then that
very thing happened.

Of course it isn't at all "evidence of miracles"
The woman and her husband "believe" it was a miracle, but that doesn't
make it one. But there is no reason at all to suspect any
supernatural involvement. And just because scientists don't have an
explanation, doesn't make it a miracle either.
To have evidence of miracles, you need evidence that a supernatural
agent or force was involved. Produce the agent, or give it up.

That is just a wonderful miracle! God is so good! His name be praised
forever and ever!
Just have a look at this:

I do not believe in accidents... I found there are none. All goes
according to God's plan. Some are protected by His angels, while others
are called to die. Why? Who could say but only God alone.
My niece died on the highway 20 years ago under weird circumstances. She
had heard a noise at her car, stopped and called the police for help
form an emergency phone at the side of the road. She went back to her
car, and then another car driver came, fell asleep right there and
crashed her car into my niece who died shortly afterwards from a heart
shock. I was no believer at that time, but I was very angry with God and
how He could allow such things to happen. Again and again I accused Him
and wanted to know why He had taken her, but left me there? The same
year I got my answer. I was pregnant, and that was why He had not taken
me. He made me a follower later, and that was another reason why. My
sister, the girl's mother, is no believer, so she cannot forgive God
taking her child away, and there is nothing I could say to comfort her.
All I can do is trust God enough to know that He always does the right
things, and I guess I will be surprised to hear His answer about it -
later.
I believe we will then see all the miracles that He has done in our
lives, in our neighborhood, in our town or country. There is nothing
that would escape His eyes, although He often shuts them when He sees
all the hate from the creatures He made.
If we humans would all be more aware of that, we would probably do more
good things and praise God for all He gives us every day and every day.
If we humans all knew that life will continue after we pass away here on
earth, for life is of a substance that cannot be destroyed ever, all
those things we now feel are so important would lose their meaning, and
we could be free from the evil and live for a better world - which will
come. We can rely on the Lord with that, for He said so.
"And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle
of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his
people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God
shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne
said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for
these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is
athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely." - Revelation
21:3-6 KJV
A Happy New Year 2010!
Jesus is LORD!
