Witnessing A Miracle This Lady Has A Message From Eternity
An Ordinary Life
The story started when the couple, Tina & her husband, went on a trek. It’s a fun adventure and while planning, no one thinks of something happening so crazy while you are at it that it will change your life. What’s expected is quality time with family, staying close to nature, a few sunburns, and some peace. A majority of trekkers agree with it as they have already experienced this, but not Tina. This is the day that she could have never imagined.
An Ordinary Life
A Little Backstory
With her husband Brian, Tina Hines was a resident of Phoenix, Arizona. It was after quite a time when the weather felt just perfect and the duo decided to go on a hike. Tina was a fitness freak and she chose to live a healthy lifestyle. The couple were seen discussing treks quite often. She paid close attention to her diet and an intense workout was also in her routine. However, she had no idea what was coming her way.
A Little Backstory
A Regular Day
Finally, it was the day when the couple had planned to go on a trek. Tina and Brian were way excited to start their trek and they told all their close family and friends about the adventure they are going to engage in. Everything was done, from packing to getting ready, yet Tina was having an intuition that something was wrong. It was going to be a roller coaster for Tina and her family. What was about to happen could even never come in the couple’s wildest thoughts.
A Regular Day
Tina’s Hunch
The bad feeling that Tina was having wasn’t wrong and she seriously considered staying back at home. She didn’t want to hurt Brian’s feelings and decided to go on the trek with him. She thought if she will bail out now, the months of planning will go in vain and after all, it’s just an intuition. She had no idea that this hunch would actually come true and she could have done something about it.
Tinas Hunch
Something Was Amiss
Tina felt a severe ache in the back and she could feel the limbs become completely insensitive. She also started feeling difficulty in breathing. In a matter of moments, she couldn’t find the strength to breathe and started to feel dizzy and unable to balance. She collapsed walking next to Brian and it was in no one’s farthest imagination that someone like Tina, with such a good physique and healthy lifestyle, will have to face this trauma.
Something Was Amiss
What Happened To Tina?
You might have guessed by now and if not, it was cardiac arrest. The trip hadn’t even started and Tina fell on the ground, couldn’t breathe and body started to turn purple. The symptoms were quite common and Tina knew it but she couldn’t afford the time to warn her husband what she was feeling. All of it happened in a matter of moments. All thanks to Brian’s responsiveness, her life was saved. In a majority of similar cases, patients aren’t able to survive.
What Happened To Tina
Brian Did The CPR
CPR is an abbreviated form of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. Brian knew the technique where the person needs to press the patient’s chest and blow air in the mouth. What it will do is that it will prevent the possibility of brain damage due to the absence of oxygen. CPR will help in starting the heartbeat again. Well, if you are at peace that everything is well and good now, wait till you hear what’s next in the story.
Brian Did The CPR
Knowing The Priorities
The first thing Brian did was he took out his smartphone and called 911 to get instant help. There was absolutely no time and it was understood that Tina wouldn’t survive this cardiac arrest if she isn’t immediately taken to a hospital. On the call, Brian explained the situation and kept requesting to send instant help in a matter of a few seconds of that call. Brian felt like he’s having the longest call and as soon as he hung up, he turned towards Tina.
Knowing The Priorities
At First Shot
It was obvious for Brian to become all confused, yet he efficiently did the CPR process. He was able to resuscitate Tina’s heartbeat 2 times but it failed again and again. When he saw that the CPR isn’t working, he started to panic and feared about Tina’s life. The in and out unconsciousness was disturbing Brian quite a lot. He had completely lost his hope, and in an instant, a marvel happened. No one would have thought this could happen at that very moment.
At First Shot
Aid Has Arrived
Brian heard the Ambulance hooter and a sense of relief has rushed through his veins. As the help arrived, the paramedics rushed into the home where Tina was lying unconscious. They were carrying the most common tool used in case of an emergency and that’s a defibrillator. Brian can be seen quite relieved seeing that Tina is in good hands. The day was planned to be something totally different but destiny has planned a whole nother story for them.
Aid Has Arrived
Started The Job
The emergency equipment, i.e., defibrillator was put to use by the paramedics as soon as they arrived. Apart from that, the medics have also put a tube into the mouth so that oxygen can be pumped in, manually. The results started to show up and this combination was working. Tina was back and the preparations to shift her to the hospital started. Before she could be shifted to the ambulance, she was unconscious, again.
Started The Job
The Hardest 27 Minutes
The paramedics were able to resuscitate her no less than 4 times before she can finally be admitted to the hospital. Tina was unable to retain her consciousness even for a few seconds after getting the heartbeat back from equipment-grade CPR. The medical team was also finding itself in the same desperation level as Brian felt. The first attack was 27 minutes ago and the time was swiftly slipping out of the hand.
The Hardest 27 Minutes
A Solid Threat
The biggest and the most significant threat that has remained evident is that for an average human, if the brain isn’t receiving proper oxygen for 20 minutes, there are high chances that the brain will undergo some permanent damage. The chances of Tina having a normal life were so slim. The medics team knew that and that’s the primary reason behind their desperation to resuscitate her. The red blood cells need oxygen to work and this is when the impossible happened.
A Solid Threat
Tina Started Breathing
Finally, Tina was able to start breathing with her own heart and is now fully conscious. Everyone was highly attentive as everyone feared lest she goes unconscious again. It was longer than earlier and Brian along with the medical team felt so relieved that the survival chances have gone significantly up. The oxygen pump tube was still attached and as soon Tina opened her eyes, she felt like choking up. Tina was doing some hand gestures to say something to Brian.
Tina Started Breathing
Trying To Communicate
On first look, Brian took the gestures as Tina was in a panic attack seeing all the tubes and medics around her. He thought that after all that she’s gone through in such a small time, she is in a state of delirium or hallucination. Brian was completely wrong and he is going to find out in a matter of moments what Tina was trying to say. The gestures were indicating that she was trying to ask for something from her husband.
Trying To Communicate
What Tina Was Asking For?
It took a couple of moments for Brian to understand that Tina is fully conscious and was trying to ask for something. In any other case, you will see the person who has gone from such a condition to stay as calm as possible and try to take a deep and relaxed breath. Tina was in a whole different mood and there was something much more important that she experienced while she was senseless. What she is going to say, no one could have expected.
What Tina Was Asking For
A Pen & Paper
There was a situation of dilemma where no one was able to understand what Tina was asking for. She was asking for a pen & paper, who would want to write anything in such condition. What can be so urgent that Tina couldn’t wait for? The husband was about to find out as he started looking out for a pen. Seeing the gestures that Tina was making, it was quite evident that she needed to say something of much significance. Put on your seatbelts, it’s going to be a scary ride.
A Pen And Paper
Finding a Pen
Brian was in a state of confusion, yet he understood what Tina was trying to say. He started searching for a pen and a piece of paper so that she can jot down the thoughts she was having. While Brian was searching for the pen, the medical team removed the oxygen pump tube and implemented few techniques to stabilize Tina’s condition. As Brian returned with a little notebook and pen, the curiosity and confusion can clearly be seen in his eyes.
Finding A Pen
Watching Tina Write Down The Thoughts
As Tina grabbed the pen and paper, she started to write something. It’s obvious that all she wrote wasn’t correct as the medical team was still unable to make it clear whether she has sustained any brain damage. Tina felt much weaker as her body couldn’t get enough oxygen. However, Tina struggled to write down the message she wanted to convey to her husband. Brian had no idea what he was going to see in the notebook.
Watching Tina Write Down The Thoughts
What Tina Could Have Written?
Tina handed over the notebook to Brian and he looked down to read what she had written in the broken handwriting. His brain was obviously in a state of confusion and at the first glance, it all looked like random words. Brian tried to focus a bit and what he saw sent a chill through his spine. Brian could never have expected this in his life and because of it, it has come as an even more shocking revelation.
What Tina Could Have Written
“It’s Real”
You might be wondering what Tina has written? All she wrote is “it’s real”. Brian showed the notebook to everyone present there and no one was able to reach a conclusion on what the text meant. Everyone tried to ask Tina what she meant by this as everyone wasn’t expecting this turn in the episode. Her answer was a complete shocker and no one would have believed if they weren’t there the whole time. A shock wave ran through everyone in the room.
Its Real
Message From The Wonderland
The “it’s real” was about the afterlife and paradise. The half-an-hour unconsciousness gave Tina a vision that her family is not going to forget their whole life. Tina told everyone she found herself in the paradise where she has witnessed joyful colors all around. She continued telling while she was having the vision, she thought she was there alone. But there was also someone else who is going to elaborate to her the details where she is in the way Tina couldn’t doubt.
Message From The Wonderland
A Jesus-Figure And The Gate
Tina told everyone that the figure that she saw in the vision resembled Jesus. There was a lot of bright light and right behind where he stood, there was the gate. She firmly believed that this is heaven and she is literally there. The things that she was seeing weren’t the only factors that made her believe it. She can feel the grandeur of the place into her bones and she found herself unable to explain it any other way. The question still hangs whether all of it was real.
A Jesus Figure And The Gate
It Couldn’t Be Just a Dream
Considering the circumstances, there was a huge possibility that Tina has suffered some kind of brain damage. The medical team feared something was wrong and to confirm themselves, they performed a few tests and the results were extremely surprising. There was no sign of any sort of brain damage. Getting no oxygen to the brain for such an extended period of time and getting no damage at all is nothing less than a miracle, itself. It was a firm possibility now that what Tina saw is true. Her family believed it, instantly.
It Couldnt Be Just A Dream
The Entry Of Her Niece
While Tina was telling the story, Madie Johnson arrived at the hospital. After listening to the whole thing, Madie said that this is the story that needs to be shared to the whole world. She claimed that what her aunt Tina said has augmented her faith into God and nothing else was able to do that since ever. Madie expressed her thankful wishes to Tina by saying that her vision has provided definiteness to the hope that the eternal world isn’t very far away.

Madie Made a Decision
Tina’s niece made a copy of the text her aunt has written as she wanted it to keep with her forever and cherish forever. Madie thought that having just a notebook copy would not be enough and she needed to take it a step ahead. The message or the text that Tina wrote put such a high impact on Madie that she wanted to keep it close. Paper can be lost and Madie couldn’t afford that. That’s the reason Madie was about to do something unique and make sure that it’s going to stay with her.

Getting a Tattoo
You might have guessed it by now, Madie has decided to get this text tattooed on herself. The spot that she has chosen is on her wrist so that it can stay in her direct sight. The message ‘It’s real’ will help her remember whenever she will feel any kind of desperation. It will also remind her that there is something that’s bigger than this world. Tina’s cardiac arrest has given Madie a new path of life that she’s going to embrace completely.

As Madie put out the story on the internet through her social media, it gained some huge engagements and after a couple of weeks, Tina Hines got discharged. As in any case, the story was able to reinforce a majority of people’s faith and a section of people found it to be a skeptical one. Tina and Brian’s family found it to be an eye-opening event. However, among all these things, there is one thing that you must not miss upon.
