Her heart had stopped 3 times....15 hours of no measurable brain waves...she had no heart beat, then woke up and started speaking...physicians are baffled on this one...one of those small "miracles" we all pray for....be sure to watch the video at the site...the fact that she was an organ donor delayed removing the ventilator....BD
She was taken by ambulance to a local West Virginia hospital when her
heart stopped after experiencing symptoms of a heart attack. For more than 17 hours, Thomas had no measurable brain waves, according to her doctors.
Doctors tried everything to save Thomas' life, even inducing hypothermia in an attempt to lower her body temperature and stimulate the brain.
Ten minutes after the medical staff stopped the respirator -- while nurses were removing the tubing -- Velma Thomas woke up. "She moved her arm, and we thought it was reflexes," Pence told ABC News.
