- When I saw her, she waslaying in a pool of blood.

I knew that she was alivebecause she was breathing,

but the thoughts thatwent through my head were,

"Is she gonna make it?"

- [Host] Victoria Koslowskistruggled not to panic

when she saw her 17 yearold daughter, Breanna,

lying unconscious in the street.

Breanna and a friendwere driving a golf cart

in their neighborhoodwhen Breanna fell out,

hitting her head on the pavement.

After calling 911, herfriend called Victoria

who arrived just after the paramedics.

- As soon as I saw herlaying on the ground,

my knees collapsed.

Her eyes were rolled backin the back of her head,

and she was non-responsive.

- [Host] Breanna was takento the nearest hospital,

then flown to the trauma center

at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital

near Chicago, Illinois.

Victoria and her husbandraced to get there

as quickly as possible.

- All I can think of is,

"Please God, saved my daughter.

Please don't take her from me."

- Neurosurgeon Dr. EgonDoppenberg and his team

were waiting when Breanna arrived.

- She had increasedpressure inside the brain,

because of that blood clot

that physically just takesup space inside the skull,

and her pupillaryresponse was not present.

That means that there potentiallyis some serious damage

on a deep level in the brain.

So, we were extremelyconcerned at that point.

- He said, "I don't knowhow to tell you this,

but your daughter isin critical condition.

Like she has this 1% chance,

and I want to give it to her."

- [Host] Dr. Doppenbergsaid the first step

was to relieve thepressure on Breanna's brain

by removing a large portion of her skull.

- If you don't do this,

what's gonna happen, the brain swells,

there's nowhere to go,

so the pressure inside the skull goes up.

It just didn't look good at all,

that I could not predictwhat the outcome would be.

- [Host] With her daughter in surgery,

Victoria sent out urgentrequests for prayer.

- I was posting everywhereabout her accident,

and I was praying, asking, and pleading

for everyone to pray for her.

- Breanna survived the six hour surgery.

However, only time would tell, how much,

if any, brain functions she would have.

- Constantly, medication is being tweaked,

ventilators are changed,fluids are being rearranged

to create that optimum scenario

where the intercranialpressure stays within normal.

- [Victoria] He's like,"We don't know exactly

how long it's going to be

before she can come back to herself,

and if she does, we don't know how

much of herself is going to come back.

- [Host] With Breanna ina medically induced coma,

Victoria visited her daughter every day

as loved ones, friends,

and their Christiancommunity continued to pray.

- The presence, the Holy Spiritwas definitely in her room,

and I could feel it,

especially when I wouldplay the soft music,

and I would start to pray.

- [Host] After three weeks,

the swelling in Breanna'sbrain had gone down enough

for doctors to bring theyoung girl out of her coma.

They would soon find out ifthere was any brain damage.

- At one point, I prayed,

and I asked God, "Please,

whatever You do,

I don't care how You give her back to me,

as long as You give her back."

- [Host] Incredibly, soon after waking up,

Breanna was able to moveher eyes on command.

- Well, we still had a long way to go,

but it was the first stepin the right direction.

- [Host] While doctors were cautious,

Victoria saw it as a sign thatprayers were being answered.

- She was coming back.

Not just that she's alive,

but the fact that we seeneural functions now,

we see eye movement,

she's recognizing people,

she's seeing people in the room.

That was very, very exciting.

- [Host] Breanna improved rapidly,

and was soon moved out of ICUto a regular hospital room.

She was disoriented at first,

but it was a good sign.

- It was definitely encouraging to see

how quickly she was recovering.

- [Host] Two weeks later,

she was transferred to a rehab hospital.

Breanna would have a remarkable recovery,

as her cognitive and motor skills

continue to improve quickly.

Then, on October 7th,

Breanna went home.

Although she still neededmore therapy and surgery

to close her skull,

Breanna and her family were ecstatic.

- Having her home was

such a load off my shoulders,

because at this point,

I knew that she was doing good,

and she was gonna be okay.

- When I got home from the hospital,

I was praying, thanking God for giving me

a second chance at life.

- [Host] A month later, Dr. Doppenberg

patched the hole in Breanna's skull

with a 3D printed panel,

marveling at her recovery.

- All my colleagues,

and everybody that has beeninvolved in her care are like,

"It is a miracle."

- [Host] Breanna and her family

are grateful for thedoctors and all who prayed,

knowing that ultimately,

it was God's touch thatgave Breanna healing,

and a second chance at life.

- You were to meet her today,

you would never think sheever even had an injury.

- I was just so incredibly happy,

and so grateful and thankfulfor every single person

that sent me prayers,

'cause all those prayers saved my life.

- Sometimes we pray,

and things are not granted to us.

Or, things are grantedto us in a different way.

But God has verymysterious ways of working.

God is by our side every waking moment.

He watches over us,

and I have this connection withHim that I never had before.
