Cindy S NDE

Experience Description

All that I remember, because I was so young, is seeing my daddy on the ground holding me in his arms. It was like I was standing above him watching. I do know from my parents that I was run over by my mother's car, I feel out after knocking the car in reverse. She had gone in the house to take some groceries in before we had to go pick up my brother and sister at the movies. I know that after the car ran over me I had tire marks across my head and back. I was totally blind in both eyes and when my parents went the hospital the next morning to take me to hospital I was riding down the hallway on a tricycle, totally blind. The doctors at the hospital told my parents I would never see again, they even used me as a case study. But after two weeks, by some miracle, I got the sight back in my right eye, the doctors could not explain it. The accident also left a scar on my brain.
