www.flickr.com A mother, whose daughter was fighting for her life, believes that a photograph taken in a hospital ward shows an angel. Colleen Banton, from Charlotte, North Carolina, was facing the agonizing decision of taking her daughter off a life-support machine when the 'miracle' occurred. 14-year-old Chelsea had been admitted to the hospital with pneumonia, but a series of subsequent infections and a collapsed lung left the teenager breathing with the help of a ventilator. As friends and family gathered to say their final goodbyes, Mrs Banton was alerted to an unusual bright light by a nurse. 'On the monitor, there was this bright light,' she said. 'And I looked at it and I said, "Oh my goodness! It looks like an angel!"' A first attempt at capturing the image with a digital camera was unsuccessful: 'The first picture wouldn't take,' she said. The second time she succeeded, and the mother-of-two sought solace in the image while her daughter's oxygen mask was removed. My thoughts. Oh that's nice the daughter was most likely to die, but her mother looked at a picture instead. 'When they took the mask off of her, her stats went as high as they've ever been,' said Mrs Banton. 'Her color was good, and the doctors and nurses were amazed. The nurse practitioner who saw the image in the monitor said, "I've worked here 15 years, and I've never seen anything like it.''' My thoughts. How about the body did what it was supposed to do and defeated the pneumonia?
