when I was 11, my 7-year old friend shot me in the head. I lost my right eye and I have a glass one now, it also destroyed all my hearing in my right ear. I was in a coma for 12 days without food or water, I weighed 78 pounds and went through alot of emotional stress. I had a 20% chance of living, and I was pronounced dead at one moment. But I am a living miracle. The gun was a cl.380 automatic.

I've always been fascinated by the fact that some people (and animals) just don't die even in the face of massive injury while others just keel over because of something relatively minor.
Having studied martial arts I lean towards this being a function of the victims "Chi" (life force, if you will). However, I can't help but think it is more than that. Did you feel like you had something you really wanted to live for? Did you/do you simply fear death? Do you thing that God kept you around for some purpose? Were you just pissed off enough at the idea of being shot that you weren't going to let it do you in? Was it just plain luck?
What, exactly was it that you believe contributed most to your extraordinary recovery? Please post an additional comment or details when you pick a best answer.

Wow, I don't have anything as dramatic as what you've been through.
I have really bad asthma because I was premature. I've stopped breathing a few times and wound up in the emergency room. One time they weren't sure if they could save me or not. I was touch and go for three days in ICU with tubes and wires everywhere.
I had some memory loss and still struggle to remember things from the past. Things come back to me in jumbled puzzle pieces. Two or three events will be put together as one memory to me.
I think the hardest part of surviving near death experiences is that you feel like you survived for a reason. That your life is suppose to really count for something important and make some big difference to society as a whole. Which is a big burdon to carry around. It can lead to emotional difficulties too.

Wow! Amazing story -- I hope that you do great things with your life.
I was admitted to the hospital when I was 13 years old. Shortly after I lapsed into a coma for almost a week. I was fed through tubes and lost a lot of weight. Believe it or not, I had a severe case of Mono.

i wasn't as close to you my appendix ruptured i thought it was a bad case of gas my wife at the time forced me to go she even carried me to the car (i weighed 200lbs she only weighed 120) the docs said if she had waited 5 more minutes i would be dead also think of the men of ladder 6 in stairwell b of the twin towers and every one else who lived that should have been dead on 9-11 never forget them or the ones who did die (just to let you know my fire station is engine 9 ladder 6 in Detroit, mi) and just before that happened one of my workmates went to new york and got an engine nine ladder 6 fire patch they run together in new york also two (i think that's all) fire fighters of engine 9 died that day

I'm glad you're alive too! My story is nothing compared to that. According to my mom, when I was a toddler I got into some Lye at the grocery store and they had to take me to the ER and pump my stomach. This was in the 60's and the grocery stores then were different then they are now. Small town, small store, and cleaning stuff was out in the open.
