After 3 hours without a heartbeat, 21-month-old Waylon Saunders was miraculously brought back to life.
While attending a home daycare, the toddler fell into an icy pool and remained there for around 5 minutes before being retrieved. He was unresponsive and rushed to hospital.
A medical staff of almost two dozen worked tireless in shifts, administering CPR for nearly three hours to his cold and lifeless body until his temperature raised and heartbeat returned.
Doctors told his family there was a 10% chance of his survival. But when it was time to rise Waylon from his induced coma, his mother believed he would wake.
“When it was time to wake Waylon up (from an induced coma) at the hospital, the doctors said it was possible he would be brain dead and there would be no purposeful movement,” said Waylon’s mother, Gillian Burnett in an interview. “I said, ‘No, he’s strong.’ I played a recording of Aberdeen [his sister] talking and when he heard his sister’s voice, he woke up.”

“I truly believe he’s here because of God,” said Burnett. “There’s no way a little boy can recover from all that in two weeks without God. The doctors and nurses are just blown away.”
Pray for Waylon, as he continues his miraculous recovery. Even though he has shocked doctors, he has damage to the right side of his brain. Partner with us at GOD TV, who are believing God will bring forth complete healing to little Waylon’s body.
“Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.” (Jeremiah 33:6)
