'Hand of God' revives brain-dead teenager

(Chart by Delldot)
Despite her youth, 15-year-old Taylor Hale had been given up for dead.

Woman’s Day reports that Hale “suffered a severe brain injury” after taking a fall.  This was complicated by a subsequent “brain hemorrhage,” making Hale’s overall prognosis quite dismal.

A portion of Hale’s brain had even “dipped into her spinal canal.”  Doctors then made the pronouncement that she “would never wake up again.”

It seems, however, that God had other plans.  Shortly after this “death sentence,” Dr. Jeff Stickel stopped by.  Stickel was not only a friend of Hale’s family, but also a chiropractor.

He had felt prompted by God to somehow “treat” Hale.  Since standard chiropractic techniques did not seem applicable at that point, Stickel simply placed his hand on Hale’s neck and “prayed to God that Taylor would recover.”

Stickel explained, “I could feel [her] life force in my fingers.”  He then went on to pray while feeling Hale’s skull.

That same day, doctors had been scheduled to remove Hale from life support, which they did. Amazingly, Hale “started to try to breathe on her own for the first time.”

Later that day, Hale “mumbled words and moved her eyes.”  These incredible responses defied all medical odds.

After intensive rehabilitation, Hale is currently “walking, talking and even driving on her own.”  Although she is very grateful for the medical help she’s received, Hale emphatically states:  God can save people…  God did most of the saving.
