In July 2019, a summer day took a tragic turn for Brandon and Courtney McKee. Their two young sons, Brody and Max, were spending a few days at their grandmother’s house.
However, tragedy struck when Courtney got a devastating call that Max was found unconscious at the bottom of his grandmother’s pool.
The Desperate Prayer
Emergency medical responders arrived at the scene. Max’s older brother, Brody, kneeled and prayed with all his heart. “I dropped on my knees and I said, ‘God, can you help my little brother? Can you just save him? Can you put your guardian angels around him, Lord?’”
The Race Against Time
At the hospital, doctors quickly began working to save Max. Dr. Marvin Mata, who was in charge, said Max was struggling to breathe. “Every minute matters when our brain lacks oxygen,” Dr. Mata said.
He explained that Max could suffer brain damage or even brain death if he didn’t get enough oxygen in time.
Turning to Prayer
During this terrifying time, Brandon and Courtney turned to prayer. They weren’t alone.
“Our pastor came, many friends who are prayer warriors came, and they just surrounded his bed. We grabbed hands and we prayed,” Courtney said.
Their faith and the support of their community gave them strength.
A Miraculous Recovery
After a long and difficult night, morning brought a miracle. Max began to wake up and show signs of recovery. “The next morning, Max showed signs that he was Max again,” Courtney said.
“And I knew right away there was no brain damage. Max was going to be OK.”
Max’s Incredible Revelation
A few days later, Max shared something that amazed his parents. He said that Jesus held him while he was in the pool. He even described the wounds on Jesus’ hands and feet.
“One day, he said, ‘When I was in that pool, I wasn’t scared.’ And we were like, ‘That’s great, buddy.’ And he said, ‘When I was at the bottom of that pool, Jesus held me,’” Courtney recalled.
“I’m a Miracle”
Today, Max proudly tells his story. “I’m Max and I’m a miracle,” he says with confidence. His story is a reminder that miracles still happen and that faith can move mountains.
In their darkest moment, the McKee family found strength in their faith, their community, and the miraculous recovery of their little boy, Max.
“He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.” – Psalm 91:15
