A Mrozen Fystery~~

Live toads and frogs closed inside a stone, blobs pouring down from the sky, Lake disappearing and appearing? What’s happening? They might be called hoaxes and unexplained reality but I call them unsolved mysteries.

Greetings Everyone! It's the mystery maniac!  I am going to present a case which is grotesque and bizarre, shocking and magical in it's own way. Indeed a mystery unsolved.

''At worst, I might lose a couple of toes'' she says. ''I can’t explain why she's alive'' Dr. George Sather, who helped treat the young woman, said. ''She was frozen stiff, literally. It's a miracle.''  

                                       Seriously, nature does perform astonishing feats!

Jean Hilliard was an attractive 19-year-old resident of Lengby, Minnesota and perhaps was one of the luckiest people on earth. 

On 21 of December 1981, a viciously cold morning Mr Nelson on 7 A.M found his 19 year old neighbor Jean, lying in the snow, completely frozen like a popsicle and as solid as an iron, 15 feet  from his door. Last night the temperature dropped 25 degrees below 0 and Jean's car skidded from the road. She was coming back from a night of jolly (cue,alcohol) she had with friends. Apparently after the skidding mishap, Jean was desperately trying to reach her neighbor for help, two miles away but passed out 15 feet away from Wally Nelson's door. When he discovered 'Jeancile', he had to load the stiff girl ''diagonally'' in the back seat of his car. He immediately zoomed to the local hospital, Fosston, where doctors stood stunned by her frigid, ice-cold state. Her face was white like snow and ashen.  Her skin was way too hard to pierce with a hypodermic needle. Her temperature hardly registering on the thermometer showed 88 F, 10 degrees below normal. Her eyes were solid and did not respond to light. The body was cold, completely solid, just like a piece of meat out of a deep freeze. Doctors were unable to give her intravenous feedings because she was frozen too solid to penetrate the skin. Her pulse, hardly registering through her frozen skin, was about 12 beats a minute.  

"Jeancile"

She was wrapped in an electric heating pad for several hours. The Docs couldn't thaw her out. Jean was seriously frostbitten, and none of her limbs would bend or budge. The hospital staff did everything they could do, but in vain. The situation was dire of direst. 

Even if Jean were to regain her consciousness, she would have a brain damage or have her limbs amputated. But her family was desperately finding hope in no hope, yearning for a miracle, praying for her at the bedside. Perhaps their wishes 'reached the heavens' and 2 hours after, Jean had violent convulsions and to everyone's amazement revived again. She was perfectly fine, mentally and physically sound, although confused. Even frostbite made it's way out from her limbs. And lucky Jean was released 49 days after, without loosing a finger.

This flabbergasting incident is deemed to be a big miracle. People say that Jean was saved by the prayers said for her. No scientific reason was taken out for this but nothing was ruled out too, I think we shouldn't at all underestimate any living brain because the brain constantly struggles to keep the body alive.  The human body is remarkable; it is actually able to withstand such prolonged exposure to extreme cold, and with relatively minor side effects. This may be because the low temperature helps to mitigate the damaging effects of lack of blood flow and oxygen to the cells. The cold also considerably lowers a person’s metabolism which makes it possible for the brain to survive a much longer period of oxygen deprivation than a warm body. Also it has been suggested that due to having alcohol in her system, her organs remained unfrozen, which prevented permanent damages.

All hail Alcohol!
