Parents sign organ donation papers just before brain dead boy comes to life
Alabama, May 8: In a miraculous incident, a 13-year-old suffering from severe brain trauma due to an accident, came back to life after his parents signed organ donation papers.
The miracle boy Trenton McKinley from Mobile city in Alabama had been hospitalized two months ago after meeting with an accident. He was riding a utility trailer and it somehow flipped over.
"I hit the concrete and the trailer landed on top of my head. After that, I don't remember anything," Trenton told Fox 10.
Jennifer Reindl, his mother told Fox 10, "All I saw was a stretcher with his feet hanging out. He was dead a total of 15 minutes. When he came back, they said he would never be normal again. They told me the oxidation problems would be so bad to his brain, that he would be a vegetable if he even made it."
His mother decided to donate his organs so it could benefit other children who were in need of transplants.
"Five kids needed organs that matched him. It was unfair to keep bringing him back, because it was just damaging his organs even more," Reindl said.
But the miracle happened just after that. Trenton started showing signs of brain activity just a day before doctors were going to pull the plug on his life support system.
In late March, he started breathing on his own and even started speaking full sentences, according to a Facebook post his mother wrote on a fundraising page.
Speaking of his brain-death experience, Trenton recalled, "I was in an open field walking straight. There's no other explanation but God. There's no other way. Even doctors said it."
Trenton still has a long recovery route. Till date, he has had three brain surgeries and will have another soon. He still suffers from nerve pain and seizures daily.
During the interaction with Fox 10, the 13-year-old tried to add some humor to the conversation. Pointing at the dent in his head, he said, "I said I could turn sideways and put salsa in there and eat chips and dip out of my head. No more washing dishes for me! She wouldn't let me put anything in it though. I really wanted to see if I could."

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
