No one can survive 63 days without food or water. It is an impossibility. Remember how long Terri S. lasted? Terri was deprived of food AND water...makes a HUGE difference. I think CindyDawg was right.

Teri died from dehydration. I disagree that she lost her will though. She fought as long as she could and longer than more heathier people. JUst talking about it.........:'(

Absolutely! What an amazing woman of strength and courage! I hope with the media attention, her days of struggling and suffering will be no more.
I will be praying for her.
To: paulat
It sounds like she was in a pit or hole. The lower temperatures may have helped her with surviving.
To: getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL
In my mind, she will replace that poor Afghani girl on the cover of National Geographic forever.

If she didn't have a functioning brain stem she couldn't have breathed on her own.

No kidding. She is alive for a bigger reason than we know.
To: paulat
Wow, that doesn't even seem possible. Just unbelievable.
To: paulat
Incredible!
More details:
". . . Doctors said that she weighed less than five stone and 80 per cent of her muscles had withered while she was trapped in a tiny space in which she could only crouch.
She had apparently survived on rainwater and rotting food."

I join in prayer for this woman's full recovery!

My gosh .. a miracle she's still alive. Lord, you must've saved her for a reason .. put the right healers in her path for Your good, if it is Your will.
