Alabama Boy Makes Miracle Recovery after Parents Agree to Donate His Organs

A 13-year-old Alabama boy who had his skull crushed by a dune buggy trailer has made a miraculous recovery after his parents signed documents to make him an organ donor.

Mobile resident Trenton McKinley was admitted to hospital in March with seven skull fractures following a freak accident at a friend’s house. The friend was driving a children’s dune buggy with a trailer attached when he slammed on the breaks too quickly.

The boy managed to throw a four-year-old girl—who was also riding in the trailer—onto the safety of the grass before it flipped. However, he was pinned and suffered severe brain damage.

I heard about this, not sure if it has been posted yet.

My family has many medical professionals. None of them are registered organ donors.

From the article:

A day before his life support was meant to be switched off, Trenton McKinley made a miraculous recover from severe brain damage. His parents had already signed off on his organs being donated.

This truly is a miracle .... one more day and they would have pulled the plug on him.

No other explanation but God’: Alabama ‘miracle boy’ comes back to life after parents sign organ donation papers
May 7, 2018, CNN Wire



Thirteen-year-old Trenton McKinley of Mobile was playing at a friend’s house two months ago. While riding in a small utility trailer being pulled by a dune buggy for kids, Trenton says his friend pressed on the brakes suddenly, causing the trailer to flip. He quickly threw his friend’s 4-year-old niece off into the grass, but in the process, Trenton got caught in the trailer as it flipped.

“I hit the concrete and the trailer landed on top of my head. After that, I don’t remember anything,” he told WALA.

He was rushed to USA Medical Center for emergency surgery. He had seven skull fractures...

A day before doctors were set to pull the plug, Trenton started showing signs of cognition. He believes he was in heaven while he was gone.

“I was in an open field walking straight,” said Trenton. “There’s no other explanation but God. There’s no other way. Even doctors said it.”

Slowly but surely, Trenton is making strides beyond what anyone expected, but it’s not without a struggle. He’s lost 50 pounds, and deals with nerve pain and seizures daily. Despite all that, he’s still got a great sense of humor.

“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!” laughed Trenton as he referred to the dent in his head. “She wouldn’t let me put nothing in it though. I really wanted to see if I could.”

Trenton has already been through three brain surgeries and faces a long road to recovery. He currently only has half his skull and will have surgery soon to reconnect the missing piece, which is frozen at the hospital.
