Every parent wants their kids to be successful. They long to see their kid grow up and live happily ever after. No parent wants to witness their kid fight for life in a hospital bed, and the very notion sends shivers down their spine.
While their son was in a coma, the parents in today’s tale suffered through the darkest time of their lives. They had given up hope and were about to say their last goodbyes when something amazing happened. Their adolescent boy unexpectedly opened his eyes and began giggling.
Micah Anderson, 13, liked riding motocross with his brother, Josiah Anderson. When the brothers joined a riding facility in South Carolina, they had been enjoying the excitement of this dangerous activity for more than a year.
Katja Anderson, Micah’s mom, characterized him as “just a really goofy goofball, very loving and compassionate,” but she had no idea how one incident would impact her teenager’s life forever. She wasn’t expecting what was going to occur.
On Josiah’s birthday in July 2013, the Anderson brothers went to the motocross track. Josiah followed Micah down the track but couldn’t stop as his brother’s bike leapt and crashed to the ground. Micah was hit in the head by Josiah’s bike.
As soon as Josiah comprehended what had occurred, his heart began to speed. He hurriedly rose up and attempted to revive Micah, but it failed. He then hopped on his bike and hurried to alert his dad, Shawn Anderson, of the accident.
He believes Micah is dead, Josiah said to his dad, struggling to regain his breath. Shawn cradled Micah’s lifeless corpse in his arms for 45 minutes before rescuers came and flew Micah to the nearest hospital. Shawn remembered he was grey and hardly breathing, like a whimper. And every time he inhaled. ‘Is he dead?’ he wondered.
While Shawn, Katja, and Josiah prayed for a miracle, the physicians were not optimistic after inspecting Micah’s brain injuries. Based on the experts’ research, Micah’s healing was nearly impossible.
They kept hearing words like “life support.” They were anticipating that there would be no recovery, Katja remembered. However, Shawn couldn’t believe his son’s odds of life were so slim. He was unable to accept the facts.
Katja’s heart had been broken by her son’s failure to respond to therapy. She sobbed uncontrollably as she prayed for Micah’s recovery. She recalls praying to God for her son to “be like the Micah he always was.”
The word of the fatal motocross accident quickly circulated. Thousands of people across the world prayed for Micah’s rapid recovery, joining friends and family of the Andersons. They were eager for him to awaken from his coma as soon as possible.
Katja stated that they had millions of people praying for them, and she felt that profound, deep peace from the start that even if Micah did not recover, this is alright.
The Andersons’ following six months were nothing short of a nightmare. As the physicians attempted various procedures to wake Micah up, his body tremors worsened, making it hard for Katja and Shawn to witness their baby in anguish. The frightened mom recalled coming to a moment when they had to say, they’re going to let him go entirely.
The physicians gave up after attempting many procedures. They informed Katja and Shawn that there was nothing further they could do to bring Micah back to life. He would spend the rest of his life lying on the bed with no expressions.
Because the physicians were no longer treating Micah, they told the Andersons to take him home. It was tough for Katja and Shawn to watch Micah unconscious on his bed. They couldn’t imagine he was the same adolescent who liked motocross.
Shawn was going alongside Micah’s bed one day when he stubbed his toe against it. Micah laughed the next thing he knew. He’d been waiting for this giggle for nearly three months. Shawn rose swiftly and sat on a chair beside Micah’s bed.
The surprised dad laughed and joked with Micah, who couldn’t stop giggling. Shawn was overjoyed to see his kid resurrect. He alerted the medics, who subsequently confirmed Micah’s responsiveness. Yet, he was still unable to talk or move.
Micah had several therapy sessions after awakening. He began speaking a few months later and shared a stunning secret he had longed to tell his parents. Micah claimed to have encountered Jesus in heaven while in a coma. He continued, he turned around to see Christ’s face, and the angels were simply worshiping Him. There was no way to explain how happy he felt.
When Micah inquired why Jesus wished to send him back, Christ said, they must know of his love and his Father’s love for all, regardless of what they have done, how he loves them and forgives them and embraces them if they come to the cross.
"I was looking in the face of Christ, and the angels were just worshipping Him." Comatose Child sees God, then comes back to share His LoveMicah suffered a brain injury and survived. He met Jesus in heaven and was sent back with his mind is sharp, a joyful heart to share God's love.
