Girl cured of childhood illness
after she ‘died’ sat on Jesus’
lap in heaven
A LITTLE GIRL who temporarily 'died' after
she plummeted headfirst 30ft down the inside
of a hollow tree claims she went to heaven
and met Jesus.
Annabel escaped the horrifying accident
unscathed and shockingly, when she woke
after hitting her head, the little girl was
miraculously cured of a devastating illness
that had plagued her whole childhood.
In December 2011, she was playing outside
the family's Texas home with her sisters
Abigail, now 14 and Adelynn, now 10, when
she slipped and fell inside a hollowed out
cottonwood tree.
Christy said: "She hit her head three times on
the way down and this is consistent with the
findings of an MRI scan.
"With the facts in front of me now, I see it all
with sickening clarity.
"Sometimes at night, it replays in my head –
a dark twist on Alice tumbling down the
rabbit hole."
“The angel stayed with me the entire time,
shining a light so I could see”
An emergency fire crew managed to harness
Annabel to safety and she was rushed to
Cook Children's Hospital in Forth Worth in a
helicopter.
Medics prepped brain and spinal injury teams
to stand by for Annabel's arrival, but
incredibly she survived without a scratch.
Doctors told her relieved parents: "I guess
someone up there was looking out for her."
After the accident, Annabel began to talk of
religious visions she experienced while laying
unconscious.
"I went to heaven when I was in that tree,"
she said.
"I sat in Jesus' lap."
Christy was concerned that Annabel was
indicating a head injury, but MRI and CT
scans revealed she had not sustained one.
Further tests also revealed Annabel had
remarkably stopped displaying symptoms of
pseudo-obstruction motility disorder, a rare
incurable condition that had seen her in and
out of hospital since 2008.
Doctors advised she could begin to come off
the antibiotics she had been taking for years.
Instead of taking ten different types of
medication throughout the day, she only
needed three, and the painkillers that were
prescribed "as and when she needed them"
were not required at all.
Previously, Annabel's medication meant she
had to have a liquid diet or stick to soft,
bland food.
But after her accident she could suddenly
tuck into pizzas and McDonald's happy
meals.
The family have now gone over a year
without a single visit to the doctor.
Annabel's dad said: "I can't explain what
happened to her physically while she was in
that tree.
"But the proof is in the pudding. She wasn't
well before and now she is.
"All I know beyond that is that she believes
she went to Heaven. And I believe her when
she tells me she believes it."
Annabel claims she saw a "guardian angel"
as she came to and believes that she has
been miraculously cured by God.
The schoolgirl said: "I started to wake up in
the tree and I could hear the fireman's
voices.
"And I saw an angel that looked very small,
like a fairy.
"And then God winked at me through the
body of the angel and what He was saying to
me was, 'I'm going to leave you now and
everything is going to be okay'.
"And then the angel stayed with me the entire
time, shining a light so I could see.
"We didn't talk. We just sat together
peacefully."
When asked what Jesus looked like, Annabel
said: "He had a beautiful long white robe,
dark skin and a big beard – kinda like Santa
Claus, but not really."
She also spoke of seeing Mimi, her great-
grandmother who'd died in 2010 after surgery
