Its indeed a miracle. To put it simply, God decided it was not yet his time. We should be thankful this grandfather got more years to spend on earth with his loved ones!
So, “tests revealed” that he was brain-dead, eh?
Mmm, I loves me the smell of a lawsuit in the mornng ....
Look, I am not a litigation-happy person. But I hope the family will sue, for the sole reason that it will make doctors a lot less quick to write people off if they know they may have to justify a million-dollar lawsuit to the hospital they’re working for. I saw this cavalier attitude with my mom’s death. Some docs (not all, but enough to cause trouble) have a little God complex and want to decide for you when your life is “not worth living.” You know what? That is not the doctor’s call to make. They should have that lesson reinforced.
Under Obamacare, he would already be soylent green.
Amen!
What a glorious miracle! Praise God!
There's a news story here about a glorious miracle. I think you will enjoy reading it if you haven't already heard about it.
Praise God!
Good thing he was 84 and did not have any harvestable organs, or he would have been toast. How many Quality Adjusted Life Years does this count for?
Bookmark for times of doubt.
That attitude adds 30-40% to every hospital bill in the nation as it is.
Sometimes miracles happen; so do accidents. Instead of contacting a lawyer, how about enjoying the few remaining weeks/months/years this man has?
I've witnessed many such 'miracles' through the years. I've seen some folks die for no apparent reason too. We are mere humans, the vast majority of us do the best we can. Sometimes we are doing God's work; sometimes we are interfering.
True. I never knew a conservative to sue anybody.
Job 12:10 ~ In His hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
From Psalm 100 ~ “For the Lord is good, His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.”
I join with you ... Praise God!
There’s an additional miracle here. He’s 84 and in a chair, yet they found someone willing to operate on him for an aortic aneurysm.
In NY the organ transplanters recently contracted with 911 to swoop in and harvest accident victims before the families can get involved.
God sometimes just has to show off, Baker told them.

What? This is a wonderful story, but anyone who attributes God’s miracles to “showing off”, a less than admirable human frailty, has much to learn about the ways of the Lord.
What a stupid way to describe God’s work.
Sometimes we are doing God’s work; sometimes we are interfering.

Well said!
A miracle or a bad call by a tired resident working a lot of overtime on Thanksgiving week.
Probably the nurse on duty stopped the incessent sedation that the hosptials/hospices are providing to elderly.
Praise the Lord for his goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
