Reporter: Can you explain how it's possible that [Maddy's] chest and abdomen healed so fast after such a traumatic injury? Doctor: Her age. Young people have a tendency to heal very fast. It is very rewarding to treat pediatric patients because they do very well.pic.twitter.com/gt19GRN9Yh

"Perhaps if we had gone 30 miles away, she wouldn't have made it... Something made me disregard a faraway voice saying she needs to go to Broward General. We brought her here. Everything turned out well for her and her family," Ojeda says of bringing Maddy to Broward Health Northpic.twitter.com/4yKeEUT8rZ

I'm so sorry to not believe this for a minute that this girl was shot 3 times and underwent 3 surgeries less than 2 weeks ago!
-
I'm thinking the same thing! Wow! Like the doctor said...her age is a big factor in that she's healing so quickly.
-
Hit with 3 bullets from an AR-15? Did you see her walk in? She was not shot in the abdomen. Sorry, not buying it.

I'd chalk this one up as a miracle. I'm still blown away, too! There is no reason for the doctors & first responders to lie. John 20:25

What does he say about the alleged corruption there that used a monthly quota to limit school arrests as reported by
#TheLastRefuge2 ? Didn't that encourage Peterson to stand down vs challenging Cruz at his UBER dropoff w backpack & duffel bag?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

The “first responder” stayed outside while children were being slaughtered. The “second responders” did the same. The “third responders”, The SWAT team went in and did what the “first responder” should have done.
