The protagonist of our story is Anna Miller, a 35-year-old single mother and dedicated nurse whose life revolved around her only 8-year-old daughter, little Violet. Life for this lonely mother from New Orleans had never been easy since she discovered she was pregnant while in her second year of medical school. All her plans for the future disappeared, forcing her to give up everything to become a mother and give her baby a good life…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

But as if having to give up her career was not enough, Anna experienced tragedy again when her marriage ended suddenly. Little Violet was only a year old when her husband Brian, whom she had been dating since high school, decided to leave them both without explanation and refused to take any responsibility for her and their daughter. She was left all alone with a child to care for and a myriad of responsibilities and mounting bills. Other mothers would have been devastated and would have been forced to ask for help from social and Family Services to get by, but Anna Miller was not like other mothers.

So when Violet turned two and started to become more independent, Anna decided to go back to school so she could get a better paying job and do something she really enjoyed. However, instead of going back to medical school to resume her medical career, she decided to enroll in the much easier and shorter nursing career, which would allow her to care for her daughter and start working in a hospital in less time. And that brings us to the present time in which our story takes place, where Anna has been working as a nurse in the hospital for more than 5 years and has managed to create a stable and loving home for herself and her beautiful daughter Violet, who is now 8 years old.

It was late on a Thursday, and Anna had just arrived home from working all day at the hospital. Anna came home with her shoulders heavy with fatigue; the day had been hard for the nurse. Although in reality, there wasn’t a day that wasn’t hard – being a nurse was a truly sacrificial job. When she got home, she only had the strength left to stretch out on the couch and kiss her daughter good night before she fell asleep.

“Ah, thank God, my couch, my beautiful comfortable couch,” he said, plopping down on it, which was now more like an oasis. Miller closed her eyes for a moment, trying to relax and put the challenging day behind her. However, her brief moment of tranquility was interrupted by the excited voice of her youngest daughter Violet, who ran to her.

“Mommy! Mommy, you’re here! Mommy!” The little girl jumped on top of her, filling the room with her infectious joy. The mother, exhausted as she was, turned around and hugged her little girl affectionately. Her embrace was like an injection of energy and love that made all the stress of the day disappear.

Then Louisa, Anna’s nanny and close friend, came after her and greeted her kindly. “I’m so glad you’re here, Anna. I’m going to call it a day. She was already in bed, but when she heard you come in, she ran after you. I couldn’t hold her, you know she can’t sleep unless she gets a good night hug.”

“It’s okay, Louisa, don’t worry. Thanks for everything. I’ll put her to bed again, won’t I, daughter?” said the nurse, smiling at her daughter. Then she picked up the little girl and took her straight to her room, while the nanny said goodbye and left the house.

On the way to the room, her mother started talking to her daughter about her day at the hospital. Violet loved the stories her mother told her about the people she cared for and the different illnesses she had to deal with at the hospital. It wasn’t the conversation of an 8-year-old, but Violet had grown up listening to her mother’s nursing stories, and to her, they were as exciting as any children’s story full of magic.

“How was your day, my love?” Anna asked her daughter as she put her to bed. The little girl, settling in, replied enthusiastically, “That was great, Mom! I learned about the human body at school today. When I grow up, I want to be a doctor like you!” The woman smiled tenderly and kissed her daughter’s forehead.

“That’s wonderful, honey, but I’m a nurse, not a doctor. Still, both nurses and doctors take care of people and help them heal. That’s no problem, Mom. Someday I want to be just like you,” Violet said with determination in her bright little eyes.

Miller laughed softly and stroked her daughter’s cheek when suddenly she sensed something was wrong – something very bad was going to happen to this brave mother, an unexpected and tragic event that would completely change her life and that of her little girl, something that no one could have seen coming and that will leave you speechless.

Anna began to feel very ill – she was nauseous, her chest and throat ached, and she felt her body temperature rising very quickly. She had been feeling tired and had severe muscle aches all day, but she attributed it to lack of sleep and work at the hospital. However, what was happening to her was much more serious and had nothing to do with the overwork of a nurse.

She tried to conceal her discomfort in front of her daughter, who looked at her in fright at the change in her mother’s attitude, but she found it impossible to hide what was happening to her. Anna started coughing violently and was so dizzy that she was about to fall to the floor.

Seeing what was happening and fearing the worst, Miller acted instinctively and moved away from the girl to protect her – she didn’t want to infect her, but she also didn’t want to make her suffer by seeing her in that condition.

“No, no, don’t come near, honey, Mommy is sick. I think I caught the flu at the hospital,” she explained in a weak voice, coughing. The little girl’s face showed concern, and she asked, “What do you feel, Mommy? Can I help you?” The frightened child asked, looking at her mother who was on the verge of fainting.

“Mommy’s just a little dizzy, honey, my throat hurts. I don’t know. I’ll run some tests later to find out for sure, okay? But you have to stay there and sleep. If you don’t, you’ll get sick too, and you won’t be able to go to school. Do you understand me?” The woman knew how much her daughter loved school and that she would never want to stay home sick instead of going to see her classmates. Violet reluctantly agreed to stay in bed, worried about her mother, and obeyed her orders to go to bed and wait for her to return.

However, the next day, around 8:00 in the morning, when the girl got up and went down to the kitchen to have breakfast with her mother, as she did every day, she got a surprise – her mother was not there. Panicked and fearing the worst, Violet rushed to the bedroom and found a heartbreaking scene – her mother was lying in bed, looking horrible. She had a high fever and was shivering. The girl was very frightened, but her mother helped her get a thermometer from the bedside table to take her temperature and check her condition. But the thermometer did not have good news for her – she had a fever of 107.

Anna needed to get to a hospital immediately – her life was in grave danger, and she knew it. “Honey, pick up the phone and call Louisa quick, she will help us,” she hastened to tell the girl. After receiving Violet’s call, it took Louisa only 15 minutes to arrive at the house to find her friend on the verge of death.

Louisa was alarmed to see her friend’s condition and tried to take care of her by following all the instructions the nurse gave her from the bed, but her health condition only worsened. At night, Anna still had a fever of over 40, coughed incessantly, and began to have hallucinations because of the pain and fever. Louisa became very frightened and decided not to wait any longer and called an ambulance to take her friend to the hospital for specialized care and to find out what was happening to her.

“Please, hurry up, my friend is dying,” she told the paramedics in a panic, as she realized that her friend was getting worse and had started coughing up blood. Upon admission to the hospital, the doctors discovered that the woman was suffering from severe pneumonia, and despite all efforts to treat her, her condition was getting progressively worse with each passing hour.

Violet was devastated and wept as she looked at her mother lying in the hospital bed surrounded by machines, but nothing could prepare her for the terrible blow she was about to face. Anna Miller, the strong and dedicated woman who worked tirelessly as a nurse to give her daughter the best life possible, could not resist the strange illness that suddenly came upon her. After spending several weeks ill and admitted to the hospital in the Intensive Care Unit, she passed away at only 8 years old.

Violet had been left without her mother, and her whole world fell apart. News of Anna’s death spread quickly through the hospital, leaving everyone in shock and despair. Co-workers, nurses, and doctors who knew and admired her gathered in groups, sharing tears and words of grief for Anna. No one understood how the situation had come to this point and how such a healthy and strong woman had lost her life so suddenly. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Despair also spread to the woman’s relatives who arrived at the hospital upon receiving the tragic news – her parents, relatives, and even her ex-husband and Violet’s father, who until then had remained distant from her and her daughter, showed up to pay their last respects and accompany the girl in such a sad moment.

“I’m so sorry, honey, your mom was a great woman, she loved you above all things, and I am sure that wherever she is, she will be taking care of you,” everyone was telling the little girl to try to comfort her. But Violet had her own opinion about her mother’s death, and although she understood perfectly well what it meant to go to live in heaven, she could not accept that her mother was gone forever and kept waiting for something to happen that would indicate that her mother was coming back to her side.

Louisa was in charge of organizing the funerals with the help of Anna’s family, and the next day everyone was gathered to say their last goodbye – a small ceremony full of symbolism and affection. The atmosphere was full of sadness and longing, and in the center of all this lamentation was Violet, the little girl who was crying next to her mother’s coffin and unable to contain her pain and confusion for having lost her mother in such a way.

“No, she’s not dead! She’s not dead!” The girl repeated as tears streamed down her face. Louisa tried to console her and took her to the back of the mortuary, away from the gazes of the others. There she hugged her and tried to find words of comfort for her darling.

“I know you feel very bad, but your mom is gone, and we must accept it,” Louisa told her lovingly, hugging the girl. But Violet was not willing to give in – the girl sobbed and shook her head in denial, unable to accept the terrible reality that was looming over her.

“No, no, Mom can’t be gone! I know she wouldn’t leave me, she wouldn’t leave me alone, she promised me, you can’t understand!” She cried disconsolately, with tears streaming down her face. After she calmed down a bit, the nanny took her back to the main room so she could say goodbye one last time to her mother, as the coffin would soon be taken away for burial in the family niche.

The little girl, standing in front of her mother, immediately had her mind flooded with memories and happy moments with her. She didn’t want her to go, but the moment the coffin lid closed and the little girl took one last look at her mother’s pale face, realizing she would never see her again, tears streamed down her little face as she cried as loud as she could.

“Mom, please don’t leave me!” Her voice was full of sadness and despair. But then something absolutely incredible happened that would leave them all speechless – the coffin began to shake. Almost imperceptibly at first, but soon it became more evident, and all the people around were stupefied and perplexed at what they were witnessing.

The lid of the coffin, which had been closed so carefully, began to move slowly as if someone was trying to open it from the inside. The family and friends were astonished – how was it possible that Anna’s coffin was moving? Louisa instinctively stepped back, and others standing by the coffin, ready to take it away for burial, also hesitated.

People’s minds began to wander in search of explanations, but in reality, they were all thinking the same thing – the only person capable of lifting the lid from the inside was the deceased Anna, who apparently was not as dead as they had thought.

Violet, with tears in her eyes, slowly approached the coffin. Her expression was full of curiosity and hope. She placed both hands on the coffin and bent down, bringing her ear close to the cold wood. It was then that she heard, in a faint, almost inaudible whisper, the voice of the person she loved most in the world.

“Get me out of here. I’m alive. Get me out of here, please, Violet, honey, Mommy is here!” The little girl jumped back, her eyes wide with astonishment. She cried out loud and clear, “My mother is alive! Get her out, get her out, she’s talking to me!”

The nanny, without hesitation, lifted the lid of the coffin to check, and indeed, there was Anna – her eyes open, confused, and struggling to breathe. Her hands were shaking, and her breathing was weak, but it was undeniable that she was alive.

Panic gripped everyone, but action was swiftly taken – Anna was rushed to the hospital where a team of doctors and nurses gathered to give her first aid and try to understand what had happened and answer the question everyone was asking at the time – how could a woman who had been presumed dead come back to life?

The news spread through the city like wildfire – journalists flocked to the hospital door eager to get information about the nurse who had been resuscitated. Louisa, as a loyal and protective friend of Anna and her daughter, tried to keep the curious and the press away, but the story was too big to keep secret, and the whole truth came out.

But what was the truth about Anna Miller’s non-death and her sudden fatal illness? You’ll find out soon enough. It turned out that Anna had contracted a strange disease while treating one of her patients, a condition commonly known as Lazarus Syndrome that makes those who suffer from it appear to be truly dead. What makes Lazarus Syndrome even more intriguing is its reversibility, thanks to which our protagonist thankfully came back to life just in time to avoid being mistakenly buried.

Although there are few studies and explanations about this condition, it can be reversed, but the process is not well known. Although science does not yet have definitive answers, what all the doctors were clear about is that little Violet and her insistence on not saying goodbye to her mother and trying to wake her up was what somehow brought her mother back to life, making her come out of the state of total unconsciousness she was in after her shocking near-death episode.

Miller returned home safe and sound, but with a story that seemed straight out of a fairy tale. The hospital recognized her dedication and rewarded her with a substantial pay raise, considering she had worked for years without any adjustment in her salary. In addition, Anna also received a generous severance package for all those years of unadjusted work and the obvious physical and mental consequences it had caused her, allowing her to finally catch up on all the outstanding bills that had been piling up in her drawer for so long.

With the improvement of her financial situation, the woman was able to find some peace and relief from the stress that had haunted her for so long. In time, things gradually improved for her and her little girl, and life regained some semblance of balance and normalcy, and hope replaced the shadows of the past that had oppressed her for so many years.

And so, the extraordinary story of a simple nurse showed everyone that even in the darkest and most inexplicable moments, incredible things can happen – you just have to be willing to believe.

17 Years Old Slept in His Friend’s House Then He Woke Up to Find Out the Shock of His Life –

Published

By

 

Cody Dietz, a teenager from York, Pennsylvania, was your ordinary adolescent. As a 17-year-old, he enjoyed spending time with his peers and attending sleepovers on a regular basis. As it occurred, he’d been living a normal life until something happened one night that altered everything.

Cody’s mother, Bonnie, attempted to contact her son on his cell phone and inquire as to when he expected to return home, but he didn’t answer the call. When he didn’t return her call after a short period of time, she realized that something was seriously wrong. She tried calling him over and over again, but he didn’t pick up the phone. Bonnie began to feel apprehensive…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

 

More information on Cody’s story can be seen in the following video. Cody’s father’s phone finally rang, but it wasn’t Cody who was on the other end of the line. Cody’s companion informed them that Cody was unable to stand and was murmuring unintelligibly at the time of the incident. While he was holding the phone up to Cody’s mouth, all his father could hear was gurgling noises on the other end of it.

Cody’s parents were aware that something was badly wrong, and an ambulance was dispatched immediately. When the paramedics arrived, they initially thought Cody had suffered a stroke. However, he was later proved incorrect. He was flown to the nearest hospital in a rescue chopper as soon as they discovered him, and it was then that their fears were confirmed.

Dr. Ray Reischwein, the hospital’s neurologist, expressed considerable concern about Cody’s condition, saying, “The timeliness of the diagnosis is critical. Many of the therapies produce the best results when they’re completed within six hours.” Cody’s delay in receiving a diagnosis was approximately 12 hours.

In severe condition, Cody was sent to an MRI scan, which revealed that he had suffered a stroke on the left side of his brain. He only had a 20% chance of surviving the situation because of the amount of time that had gone between Cody’s stroke and his arrival at the hospital. Physicians were forced to undertake a difficult surgery that included the removal of the top of his skull in order to relieve the pressure on his brain. They would also reduce Cody’s body to 33 degrees Celsius or 91 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a process that’s commonly utilized on patients having open heart surgery and brain surgery. The cooling of the body minimizes the amount of oxygen consumed by the brain, preventing brain cells from being killed.

Cody spent three weeks in an induced coma following the procedure, during which time his parents feared for his life. During Bonnie’s time spent by her son’s bedside, trying not to lose hope, she recalled that Cody displayed signs of illness a week before suffering a stroke. He’d spoken slowly and garbled his words, and she’d seen that his limbs were twitching constantly throughout the conversation. The reason for this odd behavior had now been identified.

When Cody was brought out of his coma by physicians, the magnitude of the damage caused by the stroke was immediately apparent. The right side of his body was paralyzed, and he was unable to speak or write anymore. Doctors informed the family that their son’s rehabilitation would take a long time, and that they could not expect him to make a full recovery.

After a few weeks, Cody astonished everyone by regaining his ability to talk, and after two years of hard rehabilitation, he was back to his previous level of fitness. Following his horrific experience, Cody’s dedicated himself to educating other teenagers and their parents about the symptoms that can indicate the onset of a forthcoming stroke. “I wish I’d gone to the doctor sooner, but who knows what could have happened,” Cody said.

It’s also his mother, Bonnie, who’s been working tirelessly to raise awareness about the hazards and symptoms to watch out for. These include a feeling of faintness, facial paralysis, slurred speech, and eyesight issues. “My suggestion to parents is to not overlook any signals that their child may be experiencing,” Bonnie cautioned. “The most significant issue with strokes is that they’re extremely difficult for people to notice. It’s common for people to believe that strokes only occur in older people and to disregard the symptoms when they manifest themselves in younger adults and youngsters.”

The unfortunate irony of this is that doctors have actually detected a rise in the number of stroke cases among teenagers and children, and they believe this is due to an increase in the number of people living unhealthy lives. The fact is that many teenagers smoke, drink, and do drugs in the mistaken belief that they’re immortal. Unfortunately, many of them learn the hard way that they’re not, in fact, immortal.

Hopefully, by raising awareness among youth and their parents about the dangers of stroke and learning to recognize the signs and symptoms, strokes can be avoided or, at the very least, dealt with before it’s too late. The onset of a stroke can occur at any stage.

When Cody Dietz failed to awaken the morning after a party, his pals assumed he was suffering from a hangover and allowed him to sleep. They had no idea that their 17-year-old friend had suffered a stroke that may have resulted in his death, but it happened. The father of his friend contacted me and said, “Your son is stumbling around. Can I call 9-1-1?” Cody’s mother, Bonnie Dietz, recalled the events of July 30th, 2008, when Cody was killed. She explained that the boys had been drinking at another location the night before and had gone to his friend’s house thereafter.

A CAT scan performed at York Hospital’s emergency department revealed that her son had suffered a major left brain stroke. He was airlifted to Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center by Life Lion helicopter, whereas neurologist Dr. Ray Reichwein had no time to waste in making critical decisions on his behalf. “The diagnosis must be made within a specific time frame. Many of the treatments are most effective when administered within six hours. Cody’s delay in diagnosis was close to 12 hours,” said Reichwein, who was unable to administer some of the conventional treatments due to the delay in diagnosis.

Cody’s friend’s lack of knowledge is not uncommon. Most adults, let alone teenagers, are unaware that a teenager can suffer a stroke, according to medical professionals. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, stroke is one of the top 10 causes of mortality among children, and the number of children who die from it is increasing.

Reichwein, head of Hershey’s Stroke Program, said that over the past several years, the usual risk factors—things like obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, smoking, and a more sedentary lifestyle—have become more prevalent in children. Those risk factors are associated with a considerable increase in the rise of a stroke. To make matters worse, most teenagers are unaware of their risk factors, and they’re unaware that certain lifestyle choices, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, using marijuana, or taking birth control pills, can put them at even greater risk of having a stroke, according to Kathy Morrison, manager of Hershey’s Stroke Program.

“Most teenagers are unaware of their risk factors,” she said. “Because teenagers believe they’re indestructible and believe that stroke is mainly a problem for old people, adolescent stroke isn’t even on their radar screen,” according to Morrison, who’s in charge of Hershey’s School Age Stroke Awareness Program.

When Cody’s story is told to kids, they’re very taken aback, she says. “It doesn’t get much more dramatic than this for him.” Cody was suffering from severe brain swelling, and there was nowhere for it to go. In the absence of further intervention, his type of stroke carries an 80% mortality risk, and his was likely close to 100%, said Reichwein, who removed part of Cody’s skull and extended the lining over the surface of the brain to reduce swelling.

Cody was next subjected to therapeutic hypothermia, in which his body was cooled to 33 degrees in order to aid in the survival of injured brain cells and the reduction of edema. After several days, the swelling had subsided to a minor degree. In spite of this, his mother stated, “We weren’t sure whether he would make it for another three weeks. We had a large number of people praying for him. His presence here, I believe, is solely due to the grace of God.”

In the wake of the stroke on his left brain side, Reichwein explained that his speech and understanding were impaired, as was his ability to use his right side and dominant hand. “We have such a positive outcome given the extent of his brain injuries. It’s nothing short of a miracle. I’m not the only one working here. There’s another women in their 20s and 30s who were on the birth control pill are among the young stroke victims seen by Robin Petras, executive and program director at the Central Pennsylvania Aphasia Center in Danville, who says she encounters a significant number of young stroke victims. Taking contraceptives has been linked to a higher risk of stroke than other health risks, in her opinion.

“When someone is young, they don’t necessarily identify the signs of a stroke, especially if they come and go,” according to Reichwein. It’s critical that people understand that strokes may occur at any age and they’re aware of these signs and symptoms, and that they do not disregard them because “time is brain,” as the saying goes.

One of the most common symptoms is a rapid onset of weakness, usually on one side of the body, such as facial drooping or arm weakness. Other symptoms include speech or language difficulties, visual loss or double vision, and a lack of coordination, according to him. A severe headache accompanied by neck stiffness could be an indication of an aneurysm. Heart attacks and strokes are similar in that both include vascular events, but a stroke is different in that it affects the brain rather than the heart, according to Morrison. Because stroke is not painful, people may choose to wait for the symptoms to subside, but this is the worst thing they can do.

Stroke may be prevented in 80% of cases if risk factors are controlled, according to Morrison, who believes that education is extremely crucial. Cody, now 21 years old, and his mother, who live in Lower Windsor Township, York County, share their experience with new workers at the medical center and at hospital grand rounds. Their story is also featured in a movie that’s presented at school in health fair presentations across the country.

“Don’t disregard any signals your youngster may have,” Bonnie Dietz advises parents. “This could be a TIA or mini-stroke,” according to Reichwein. Ignoring a TIA for three months increases the risk of stroke by 20%, according to Reichwein. Cody had multiple variables that put him at risk for a stroke while not having obvious warning signs. A pinhole in his heart and a genetic clotting issue were all hidden from him. He also drank that day during the party. “I wish I’d seen a doctor before my stroke, but who knows?”

Cody had to relearn everything from walking and talking to eating and writing throughout his five-week hospital stay and three-week rehabilitation stay. He still has three weekly sessions of PT, OT, vision, and aqua. Cody struggles to express himself, frustrate him every day, but he remains optimistic that he being present was a plus. His mom is always supportive.

“What has God promised you?” I constantly ask Cody. “Absolutely,” Cody said. “It’s happening.” Thanks for watching.
