A Miracle For A North Carolina Pastor Who Shows Signs of Life After Believed To Be Clinically Brain Dead

This North Carolina pastor was declared to be clinically brain dead. Nothing could be done so his organs were in the process of being taken for donation when out of the blue, he miraculously showed signs of life.

Early in August, Ryan Marlow was taken to the hospital after contracting Listeria. This is a foodborne bacterial disease that is often caused by eating improperly processed deli meats and unpasteurized milk products. The bacteria has invaded Maarlow’s brain which caused it to swell as he slipped into a coma.

Then on August 27, Ryan Marlow’s wife, Megan Marlow, was given some heartbreaking news by doctors who were the ones treating her husband. According to the doctors Ryan Marlow was brain dead and is now clinically dead.

According to the law of North Carolina state if the patient is brain dead then they are declared legally dead.

Talking to WXII12, Megan Marlow said, “[A nurse] said ‘Your husband has passed.’ Those were the words that were used.”

Then on August 29, Megan received a phone call from a doctor at the hospital telling her that her husband had suffered traumatic brain damage. The very next day he was scheduled to be taken off of life support. His organs would be removed for donation.

She recalled, saying, “‘He’s still pretty much brain dead, right?’ and I was told ‘Yes.’”

The following morning she went to the hospital to say her final goodbyes to her husband before he will be taken into surgery for organ harvesting. And when she arrived, she received some unexpected news.

Her niece who was also at the hospital at the time told her that Ryan’s feet moved when he was shown videos of his “children singing.”

Megan Marlow didn’t want to have “false hope” and it could just be “spinal reflexes.” She said, “I went into the hallway […] literally the OR team was ready to take him, and I told the nurse ‘I need tests done now to see if he’s brain dead.’ […] Long story short; he’s not brain dead, my friends.’”

In a Facebook live video “Unexpected update” posted on August 31, Megan Marlow shared an update on her husband. She explained that Ryan’s doctor called her and explained to her that because of his “rare circumstance” they called in an expert panel.

The doctors admitted that they discovered that they had made a grave mistake. That Ryan Marlow did not die nor did he suffer from “neurological death.”

She further shared that a CT scan proved that Ryan was “not brain dead” because blood was flowing to his brain. She also claimed that when she kissed his arm and spoke to him, his heart rate “jumped up.” She said, “My husband is still very critical.”

But Megan is not losing hope. She said, “God’s not done. I don’t know my husband still may go to glory with all of this. He may still be with Jesus at the end of all this. I don’t know, but I have to just trust God’s trying to do something, and whatever it is I’m just gonna trust Him and pray. That’s all I can do.”

Megan Marlow is still keeping the faith…
