In April 2000, my son Nathan was in a near-fatal car accident while trying to avoid a deer. When he arrived at the hospital, he had a broken leg, spinal cord damage, numerous lacerations, and a collapsed lung. To stabilize him, doctors put him into a drug-induced coma.<\/p>\n
Nathan was in a coma for four days, but when the drugs were discontinued, he didn\u2019t come out of the coma. That night I prayed and read the Bible to Nathan, repeating the words Jesus said to Lazarus: \u201cCome forth.\u201d I told him, \u201cYou\u2019ve got to fight. You\u2019ve got to wake up.\u201d<\/p>\n
The next morning he came out of the coma. We were beside ourselves with joy.<\/p>\n
But the spinal cord damage was a major concern. Nathan had a fracture in his neck, the same vertebra that actor Christopher Reeve had injured several years ago. The doctors gave Nathan a protective neck collar to prevent further separation of the vertebrae. He was in danger of full or partial paralysis.<\/p>\n
For two weeks Nathan prayed earnestly for healing. One night as he was falling asleep, he heard and felt a popping in his neck. The next morning physicians performed three sets of X-rays to see if the vertebrae were continuing to separate. Instead, the tests showed that the vertebrae had fused back together. The doctors were stunned; there was no medical explanation for the healing.<\/p>\n
Three months after the accident, doctors cleared Nathan to resume his participation in athletics, including football, wrestling, and track and field.<\/p>\n
