Decapitation recovery

Sorry its been a while you guys! I've been pretty busy. Many school projects and whatnot!


"As reported by Fort Worth’s CBS 11, “Jordan Taylor was in a car accident that separated his skull from his vertebrae. Doctors call the injury an ‘orthopedic decapitation’ and at the time gave Jordan a one percent chance for survival. ‘It's a miracle. It's a miracle from God,’ said Jordan's mother, Stacey Perez. ‘And it's a miracle of this hospital.’”Seems like this extraordinary miracle has caused one CBS reporter to, well, lose his or her head over it: “At Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, Jordan shouldn't be playing air hockey. He shouldn't be moving. He shouldn't even be alive -- not after the type of injury he received. Three months ago Jordan was in a car wreck that nearly took his head off.”Listen, we get it. Really. It’s a miracle that he is still alive; even the most cynical doubter would have to file this one in the “miracle” folder. Also interesting: according to the patient’s mother, at one point “at least 20 churches” were praying for her son. Maybe crowdsourcing prayer does work."


This man. This lucky man. I'm not sure if it was this story, or another story just like this that I heard. But this was the gift of life from God. It really was a miracle. This man gives me much hope. Can you imagine? Being someone close to him, knowing that his head was pretty much unattached from his body? Almost waiting for his life to end? Could you imagine how this man felt when he figured out what had happened? He is the luckiest man on Earth!
What I wonder is if he ever has to have check ups since this accident. I hope he's doing well today, and has given me so much hope.


Thats all for tonightt (have to finish up a project!)
Until next time,
Skylar : )
