When Chelsea Banton was born five weeks prematurely, doctors predicted she had 36 hours to live.

Proving them wrong was the first miracle for Chelsea, now an Independence High School freshman.

“She spent the first four months in a neonatal intensive care unit,” recalls her mother, Colleen Banton of Mint Hill.

Before Chelsea was 2, she was admitted to the hospital for pneumonia, the first of several dangerous run-ins with the illness that have made her a familiar face in Presbyterian's pediatric intensive care unit.

The reflection on the floor sure has a canny resemblance to a glass door or window to the sunny outside...

I’m totally in favor of angels, but that’s so obviously sunlight through a door or window on the other side of the hall.

What it looks like doesn’t matter....what matters is that she believes in Angels just like me!

You can’t really tell anything from one photograph. I’d like to see some before/after and other variations for comparison.

I have worked in a hospital for almost twenty years. If I told you the number of absolutely unexplainable things that have ocurred and I have witnessed, you would probably admit me to the psych ward. It gets so that I’m afraid to tell anyone other than my family.

I don’t work in a hospital, but I have seen and heard from friends and family members (either because they work there or they were the patient) about some very unexplainable things myself. I would absolutely love to hear some or any of your stories, and I promise, no psych ward!

Could an angel not manifest itself to be seen through sun light reflection? It is an angel, after all. I believe.
