Thank you altya.
I saw a program on TV today that gave me hope for Leigh. It was about a woman who was pronounced dead, and yet, she came back to life. It is truely a miracle story, and a witness to the tremendous power of prayer. Especially the power of prayer when believers join in prayer together! I won't paste all of the story, but here is most of it:

Paramedics had brought Connie Davis to the emergency room at the River Regional Medical Center about two hours earlier. There, doctors discovered that she had suffered a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot that hit her lung. The trauma from that clot left Connie without blood pressure or pulse, causing her to code.
Dr J.R. "Bob" Ford, Connie's attending physician, recalls the details of that day. "They got her to the emergency room and instituted CPR. For two hours they continued that CPR. We had a heart doctor, a lung doctor, and different doctors coming in and different people doing the code as we went along. Basically, we never were able to get back a blood pressure, pulse, or any objective evidence that she was breathing or alive."
"She was clinically dead," says Dr. Ford. "They had called the code and pronounced her dead."
What hospital officials didnt realize was that on that Sunday morning, Connies friends, family, and church had begun to storm heaven on her behalf.
"I just stopped the service and told the church what was going on and said were going to take awhile and intercede for Connie," Rev. Mike Fields told his congregation. "We were interceding that God would spare her life. We were praying against death and praying for life."
Meanwhile, the ER doctor came to the waiting room to tell the family the bad news. Still full of faith, Connie's husband, Tommy, made a request.
"I asked him, 'Could we come in and pray before they call it?' He said yes, we could come in and pray," Tommy recalls.
Thelma Russell, Connie's spiritual mom, recalls praying over Connie. "When I laid my hand on her, she was cold. I said, 'Lord, with long life you promised to satisfy her. Lord, you said you would do her good and not evil, that you would give her an expected end, that your will for her is to live and not die.' When I saw her gripping Tommys hand, and mine started shivering like that, I knew that life was coming back into her."
Suddenly, Connie Davis was breathing and her blood pressure was climbing! Doctors and nurses were stunnedincluding one nurse who had helped with CPR.
"She said, 'Joyce, I have been doing this 28 years and I have never seen anything like it. After those people prayed, she got a pulse!"
Adds Dr. Ford, "All I know is the family went in, and when they came out, the nurses went back in there and she was spontaneously starting to breathe again and began feeling blood pressure and a pulse again."
Praise God!!
