Code Blue Book - Katie YMCA Case - 2022
2022
F
Katie was discovered floating face down in a YMCA pool after drowning. Emergency CAT scan showed massive brain swelling, and she had no gag reflex. She was kept alive by artificial lung machine and doctors estimated only a 10% chance of survival. She remained comatose for three days before suddenly awakening as if from deep sleep. Within 24 hours, she was up and around with no signs of brain damage. When Dr. Morse asked what happened, Katie replied "You mean when I saw the Heavenly Father?" She described seeing God as a bright being of light who radiated kindness and love, and spoke of a guardian angel who guided her through heaven. Despite being profoundly comatose with eyes closed, she accurately described medical procedures: being in a big room, then moved to a smaller room for X-rays. While comatose, her soul visited her home where she observed specific details - her brother playing with a GI Joe in a jeep, her sister combing a Barbie doll's hair while singing a rock song, and her mother preparing roast chicken and rice in the kitchen. These observations were later confirmed by her shocked parents.
