Lisa Hough and her husband were living every parent’s worst nightmare. Their infant son, Karson, clung to life in intensive care, his tiny body tethered to life support. Despite the medical team’s valiant efforts, the prognosis was devastating. With no further medical intervention possible, the Houghs faced an unbearable decision: to say goodbye to their beloved son and withdraw life support.
Karson’s fight for life had been a long and arduous journey. From the moment he was admitted to intensive care, every breath was supported by a ventilator. The medical team worked tirelessly, but it became clear that Karson’s fragile body was not responding to treatment.
The doctors gently broke the news to Lisa and her husband that it was time to let Karson go. They explained that removing the ventilator would likely result in Karson surviving for no more than 10 minutes, as he was unable to breathe on his own. The Houghs were faced with an agonizing decision, one that would change their lives forever.
As they prepared to say goodbye, Lisa and her husband steeled themselves for the unbearable heartbreak that lay ahead. They were told to expect Karson’s heart to stop beating within those fleeting 10 minutes. But little did they know, a miracle was about to unfold, one that would defy medical expectations and leave them in awe.
