When rescuers arrived to Missouri's Lake Sainte Louise on Jan. 19 after reports that three 14-year-old boys had fallen through the ice, John Smith had already been underwater for 15 minutes.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports he was taken to a hospital with no pulse, and while his companions were treated for hypothermia, staff performed CPR on John for 27 minutes.

"He was dead for 45 minutes," Dr. Kent Sutterer tells KSDK. There was a "very poor chance of survival." But when the doctor called John's mom into the room, "she started praying loudly," he says.

The medical world is starting to see? Good. But tell it to Obama Care? Such things as prayer are just not affordable.

Just another one of those “terrible deeds in the name of Christ” our president is warning us about.

It’s providential that the water was cold. This often increases survival times in drowning situations, and even secular science knows it. Nonetheless it was not wrong for the mother to pray, not one bit. Survival wasn’t guaranteed.

“Nonetheless it was not wrong for the mother to pray”

I’m she’d probably be glad to have your approval.

When you work for Satan, everything good done in the name above all Names—Christ, is terrible.

I am trained as a rescue and recovery diver. When I started cold water drowning was just starting to be understood. It is amazing just how long a person can be under and still recover if handled properly. The biggest risk is cold blood from extremities hitting the heart and causing heart failure.

The child hearing his mama’s voice could have helped, too.

Dead people, with no heartbeat for 45 minutes can still hear? Wow.

Well, that comment was meant for the smartalecks who would say it had nothing to do with God. I have heard a lot of that, even from Christians who ought to know better.

That’s a long time to be out. I wonder if he has any NDE tales to tell or if he’ll be able to make a full recovery.

hearing is the last sense to go

those who have survived near death can accurately describe what they hear and see in this world before they are pulled back

Are you skeptical that prayers help? Well you would be wrong.
