Mrs Thomas’s body decided it was time to die. God disagreed.

no brain damage? maybe, maybe not, Hillary did carry the state very strong

I think the reporter messed something up here. There would be absolutely no reason to put someone on a respirator unless they had a beating heart.

I am wondering if she has one of those afterlife experiences To my way of thinking she is living one now.
To: Toadman
That is freakin’ amazing. God Bless this woman and her family, and prayers that she is allowed to enjoy the second gift life that God has given her.

Thomas, 59, was rushed to a West Virginia hospital, where she was put on a special machine to induce hypothermia. This would allow her body to cool down for 24 hours before they would warm her up again, doctors explained.

Death had set in.
wrong. Death is final. If she recovered, she wasn’t dead.
To: SampleMan
"Her family said their goodbyes and Thomas tubes were removed, but she remained hooked on a ventilator as the possibility of organ donation was discussed.""However, Thomas woke up 10 minutes later and started talking.
There is something screwy about this whole story. There is no way someone could wake up and start talking with a ventilator hose stuck down their throat.
