Miracle baby home three weeks after life support machine switched off

June 20, 2009 1:06pm CST
Baby Grace was given just 1% chance of survival when she was rushed to hospital with the brain bug meningitis. Doctors said they had never seen a girl as poorly and had given up hope and turned off her life support machine her parents cuddled her as they waited her to die. But it never happened as Grace slowly began to breath on her own and just three weeks later she is home. Read the full story here:http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/06/20/miracle-baby-home-three-weeks-after-life-support-machine-switched-off-115875-21456959/ It just goes to show that sometimes miracles do happen.

I am delighted that Baby Grace is now home and doing well. Life can be surprising sometimes. It must be terrible to have to decide to turn a life support machine off. Baby Grace was strong enough to survive I am glad to say.

absolutely this is indeed a miracle. there is no other way to explain this thing. there is no such thing as luck or just some accidents or coincidence. hope miracle will be common experience in life now as we all need now miracles in our every day lives as life turns for the worse as we hear many rumors of wars and other things that make us feel sick living.

Hey littleone! This is such a wonderful story! I hope that is miracle baby continues to improve every day! I hope that she gets better and better and continues to defy the odds that the doctors held against her! That is so wonderful to hear this kind of a story where a baby does come back to life fighting! I pray for this child and her family that she does keep fighting and grows up to be a happy and healthy and normal child in every way! God Bless you Grace!

Hi Opal It is a miracle she is still blind but no other damage appeared to have happen. It is a wonderful story. I hope that she does fully recover. They have nicknamed her 'Amazing Grace'

Fantastic! Another example of the never-ending phenomenon of miracles. I also had a few in my life. I once was driving a mini bus and a woman in a sedan hit me with such force that my vehicle flew through the air, turned 180 degrees and landed on its side on the pavement. I only had a small cut from my spectacles. Nothing happened to my passenger and not one window was broken!

It sounds like you were very lucky not to be hurt. It must have been a awful experience for you and your passenger.
