Thomas, who lives in West Virginia, is being called a medical miracle after she suffered two heart attacks and had no brain waves for more than 17 hours; reports NewsNet5.com. Thomas’ heart stopped around 1:30 a.m. Saturday and doctors said she had no pulse. Rigor mortis started to set in, and she was placed on a respiratory machine. “Her skin had already started to harden and her fingers curled,” Thomas’ son, Jim, told NewsNet5.com. “Death had set in.”

The Fox story says the Cleveland doctors said she had no damage. That's not exactly accurate. What was actually said was no blockage: "She was taken to the Cleveland Clinic for specialist to check her out. Doctors said amazingly she has no blockage and will be fine." http://www.newsnet5.com/health/16363548/detail.html

According to another report, she didn't have blockages, but she does have an electrical problem (arrythmia). This article mentions the family's prayer and their faith. http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:3GzYyTQuKjIJ:www.wchstv.com/newsroom/eyewitness/0805/080521_41d512f9.shtml+%22Val+Thomas%22&hl=en&lr=lang_en&gl=us&strip=1

Oops. Arrhythmia. It’s too early to be typing.
