“If He can wake me from the dead, He can make your eyes brand new, He can make your heart complete, He can change lives in a heartbeat if we are just a little open to walk under His direction.” -Melanie Pritchard
(Phoenix, AZ)—Melanie Pritchard, a well known pro-life and pro-family activist, went into labor on July 28th, 2010, but little did she know her ensuing ordeal would nearly kill her and her child. When Melanie’s—the baby’s—heart-rate and blood pressure plummeted drastically, her husband Doug began requesting prayer. The world-wide response was incredible, with Believers around the world storming “Heaven for a miracle.”
Her daughter, Gabriella was born healthy, but Melanie had reportedly been clinically dead for 10 minutes before finally being resuscitated. She had suffered an “amniotic fluid embolism” and had lost copious amounts of blood. The prognosis was dire.
Reporter Peter Baklinski with LifeSiteNews continues: “With her catastrophic hemorrhaging, three back-to-back emergency major surgeries, heart and lung failure, and possible brain damage, the odds were overwhelmingly stacked against Melanie. The doctors gave her a zero percent chance of survival. Doug was told to say ‘goodbye’ to the love of his life.
