Brain-dead teenager Taylor Hale faced grim prospects after a severe accident at 14. Following a playful incident clinging to a moving car, she suffered a traumatic brain injury. Seven days in a coma offered little hope, worsened by a brain hemorrhage pushing her condition past recovery.

Medical experts advised her parents to prepare for organ donation and funeral arrangements. However, amidst this despair, family friend Jeff Stickel, a chiropractor, felt compelled to pray for Taylor’s recovery. Despite skepticism, her parents allowed him to proceed.

Miraculously, shortly after life support was removed, Taylor showed signs of improvement—her brain activity surged, eyelids fluttered, and she attempted speech. Chuck Hale, her father, credited this turnaround to “the hand of God.”

Taylor faced a tough road to recovery but eventually graduated high school and planned to study event planning at a community college, acknowledging, “God did most of the saving.”
