Well that didn't come out right. I need sleep but I'm sorry to report what I did. Stories like this do keep the faith going though.

the people who talked to Terri's parents said that Terri did have a will to live.

I know; I ping them on stuff they'd be interested in, and they'd surely think a lot of this.

Well, quite frankly, it wasn't her day to die.

I can hardly imagine anyone in human history so staunchly denied death's door.

Hope we can follow her over time, find out what she learned.

Thanks.

OK, looks like I have to play Devil's Advocate.

Is anyone else a little concerned that it took her family 63 days to find her, then when they finally did they didn't take her to get medical help - they put her in a tent for 2 days! It was only by luck that doctors were even told about her.

More to this story than meets the eye, there is.

Perhaps. However, some remote villages weren't even visited by outsiders until the beginning of December. Need to read the article again.

"On Monday morning a German doctor, Holger Barochmeyer, who was vaccinating people in a nearby village..."

Sounds like the village (refuge camp) she was at didn't have any medical people around.

Unbelievably inspiring. Prayers for her full recovery. I am speechless.

You don't seem to have read the article...

"Her two brothers and father, injured in the October 8 earthquake, were flown to a hospital in Rawalpindi near the capital Islamabad where they are under treatment. "We were injured and were brought to a hospital in Rawalpindi by a helicopter and we had thought all along that our sister is no more," one brother, Jamilur Rehman, said."

Three extrememly poor refugees flown away from the location can hardly be calling the shots in an area that wasn't being deeply searched.

Hi All-

That rainwater must have been flowing directly to where she was situated. If she had enough food to last more than two months, I'm guessing she had to be fairly mobile underneath all that rubble in order to gather it. It would certainly need to be more than what one could reach from a stationary position.

As others have said, what a miracle...
