• [02:40] Stephanie, 27, is a surgical nurse at a Columbus hospital and happily married to Kevin. While briefly assisting during a brain surgery, she attempts to unplug a Midas Rex drill.
  • Stephanie:
    “Once I moved the wire to unplug it, an electrical current went through my right index finger, traveled up my right arm, and then just dispersed throughout my whole body. At that time, a loud popping noise went throughout the OR, and then sparks went flying.” [03:31]
• Her manager immediately smells “burnt flesh,” but externally there are no visible injuries.

2. The Aftermath: Invisible Damage and a Downward Spiral

• [04:40] Stephanie feels “staticky” in her head. Despite abnormal vitals, she’s sent home after brief monitoring.
• What no one realizes:

  “God, help me to wake up in the morning. Let my heart keep beating. Help me to wake up in the morning."

3. The Collapse: Memory Loss, Hallucinations, and Despair

• [08:34] Stephanie's mental state deteriorates rapidly—memory loss, inability to perform simple math, confusion. She’s no longer able to work, and everyday life becomes a blur.

4. A Life in Limbo: Loss of Dreams and a Crisis of Faith

• Dreams of children and normal life are dashed:
  • Kevin: “We had dreams of coaching Little League, playing basketball in the yard, hearing our kids call me dad. Now, doctors told us we'd never have children.” [10:00–11:00]

• Despite negative pregnancy tests, Stephanie refuses to relinquish her faith:
  • Stephanie: “I know I’m pregnant. I believe I’m pregnant. So I don’t care what this test says. I don’t believe it.” [15:03]
• [16:22] Even faced with “Not Pregnant” tests:
  • “No, no, I rebuke you, Satan. I am believing I'm pregnant... I believe what the word of God says. We will be fruitful and multiply.” [16:22–16:50]

6. Proof of the Miracle: Pregnancy & Healing

• Doctor's skepticism is shattered by ultrasound:
  • “A look flashed across the doctor's face... There it was. A baby. Arms, legs moving, alive. Heartbeat pulsing strong and steady. Ten weeks along.” [16:50–17:39]
  • Stephanie: "When we figured out, when I looked at Kevin in Florida and said I was pregnant, I was pregnant." [17:39]
• Simultaneous to the pregnancy, Stephanie’s years of pain, cognitive issues, and migraines vanish.

[F]

All right, let's go.

[D]

At 27 years old, Stephanie was two and a half years into her marriage to Kevin. She worked as a surgical nurse in a Columbus, Ohio, hospital and loved her job. Life seemed pretty darn ideal. And then one day in 2007, everything changed. Stephanie was called into the operating room to temporarily assist during a brain surgery just to relieve a fellow nurse for a restroom break. She had been in the middle of prepping for an orthopedic procedure in another room. While inside the or, Stephanie noticed a piece of equipment she'd need for the next surgery. A Midas Rex drill used to cut and cauterize bone. She reached to move the wire so she could unplug it. One simple decision, one small action with an unexpected and horrifying result. Here's Stephanie.

[E]

So once I moved the wire to unplug it, an electrical current went through my right index finger, traveled up my right arm, and then just dispersed throughout my whole body. At that time, a loud popping noise went throughout the or, and then sparks went flying. It happened so quick that I couldn't really register what everything just happened. And I was like, oh, my gosh. Sparks in an oxygen rich environment. I'm like, could this place explode? What's gonna happen? And then all of a sudden, it just stopped. And everyone stopped what they were doing. And they just looked at me and they're like, steph, are you okay?

[D]

Stephanie blinked, stunned. Her hand still hovering near the equipment, her body tingling with a strange electric heat as if fire moved through her.

[E]

And I'm like, yeah, I'm fine. I'm fin. I'm like, how is the patient?

[D]

It was like Stephanie to be more concerned with the patient than herself. And she didn't want to be dramatic. She was sure she was fine. At least she thought she was fine. But she wasn't. Not even close. As Stephanie walked down the hallway, trying to shake the tingling out of her arm, she told her scrub tech, something felt off.

[E]

And I'm like, I'm probably being a hypochondriac, but my head feels staticky. It's the best way I could describe it.

[D]

Brushing concerns aside, Stephanie and the scrub tech began setting up the room for the next surgical case.

[E]

Well, people started talking, and all of a sudden, people started coming in to check on me. Well, my manager walks in and she's like, oh, my gosh, Stephanie, she was maybe five feet from me. She's like, I can smell you. Permeation of, like, burnt flesh was permeating from my body.

[D]

Stephanie's Manager was, of course, concerned, but to all outward appearances, Stephanie looked okay. There were no visible wounds, no entry or exit burns. The only symptoms were the staticky feeling inst Stephanie's head and the smell of burning flesh.

[E]

Well, then all of a sudden, this other guy comes into the room, and that guy handles all of our neurological equipment. And he said, steph, you're not going to believe this. You got to follow me. So I went back into the or where it happened, where I was standing about 8 to 10ft out. Ash residue covered all the floors, all the walls, and there's these two metal sleds that were stacked at the bottom of this cart that was holding the piece of equipment that I needed. And three holes had blasted through both of those sheets of metal. So then I was like, huh? I'm like, well, that's not good. And they're like, I think you need to go to Employee Health.

[D]

At Employee Health, Stephanie's vital signs were abnormal. But nothing looked immediately life threatening. There were no burns to treat. Stephanie continued to insist she was fine. So after monitoring her briefly, the Employee Health staff sent her home with instructions to rest, hydrate, and report any changes. Had the staff known what was going on inside of Stephanie internally, they would never have let her leave. But unfortunately, they didn't know. Only later would they understand. But it would be too late by then.

[E]

The reason why my head was staticky at that point is because my brain was being fried at that instant, and my whole front of my brain and the left part of my brain was being, like, literally fried. As I was walking through the hallway.

[D]

After leaving work, Stephanie called Kevin, who was away on business. He asked if he should come home, but she told him no. She just wanted to lie down. The hospital called Stephanie back.

[E]

The one nurse was like, steph, the surgeons found out what happened, and they are so upset you went home. I'm like, why? And they said, because the amount of voltage you received, your heart could stop at any minute. They need you to come back in.

[D]

Stephanie hesitated. She didn't want to sit alone in an ER answering questions hooked up to machines. And she definitely didn't feel like driving. So she made up her mind. She wouldn't go in. Instead, she would go to bed. That's all she really wanted, just to close her eyes. Lying there, eyes finally shut, Stephanie pleaded with God.

[E]

And I said, God, help me to wake up in the morning. Let my heart keep beating. Help me to wake up in the morning.

[D]

The next day, Stephanie did wake up. Light filtered through the bedroom window as she blinked her eyes open. Relief washed over her. Whatever had happened the day before, however frightening it seemed to be, over now.

[E]

I was like, oh, I'm good. I'm fine. Like everything's fine.

[D]

But that was the last time Stephanie would say she was fine for years. As soon as she sat up and gravity hit, her brain felt like it would explode. She tried to tell herself it would pass. Maybe it was just part of the shock. Maybe a few days of rest would help. But the days turned into weeks and the headaches didn't let up. By the end of the first month, it wasn't just pain either. It was memory loss, confusion, cognitive collapse. She was no longer able to work as a nurse. Her husband felt helpless as he watched his wife's brain slowly deteriorate. Here's Kevin.

[C]

We would go out with friends, some of our best friends, and it would be like 50 first dates, right? Hey, Bill, how's your new job going? Great. 30 seconds later, hey, Bill, didn't you.

[B]

Just get a new job?

[C]

And then he would explain, and another minute goes by, hey, how's your job going?

[D]

Within a few months, simple math became impossible. Stephanie couldn't add two plus one without using her fingers. Kevin bought her kindergarten workbooks. Her once sharp mind was now struggling to spell her own name under pressure. Then came the hallucinations. The lines between reality and illusion began to blur. A hot pink stain appeared on the couch and then disappeared. Gnats erupted from the trash can in clouds, then vanished. Spiders skittered across the floor that weren't really there. Each episode was more disorienting than the last. Stephanie was crumbling. She was in and out of the E constantly. The only thing that helped was a strong IV cocktail, morphine, and two other heavy medications that knocked her out for 24 hours at a time.

[E]

And it was the only thing that would help. To where my one doctor, bless his heart, started prescribing me morphine injections that I could give myself at home just to keep me out of the hospital and just to help me so I wouldn't have to go through that. But again, I'd give myself an injection and I'd be out for at least 8, 18 to 24 hours.

[D]

Desperate, she contacted the National Institutes of Health. If anyone could help, they could. But when they called back, the news was chilling. They told her they didn't know how to treat her because the patients they'd studied who'd received this level of voltage were dead. Stephanie hung up the phone, those words still ringing in her ears. There seemed to Be no light at the end of this tunnel. Kevin tried to stay strong, but life felt dismal. They'd wanted to start a family. He had dreams of coaching Little League, playing basketball in the yard, hearing his kids call him dad now. Doctors told them they'd never have children. Stephanie's cycle had stopped. Her brain was damaged. Her life reduced to managing pain. Months turned into years, each one marked not by milestones, but by migraines, missed moments, and medical appointments. One Saturday morning at church, something inside Kevin finally broke. He just stood there, eyes wet, shoulders trembling.

[E]

I was like, what's going on? Hopefully it's not about me, because I would feel horrible. And he's just red eyes, and I'm just like, what's going on? And he just shook his head.

[D]

Kevin's pain was too deep to express.

[C]

And I was so emotional, I couldn't talk right? And so we get in the car, I still can't talk because it's just. It's too heavy of a moment for me at that. At that time. So it literally was like, God, I give my wife to you, right? I give these future plans to you, right? This. This idea of us having a family someday. Because right now, the doctor's reports are saying that is the last thing that you should even be thinking about.

[D]

Every plan they'd made was slipping through their fingers. So Kevin let go. He surrendered everything. And in that surrender, something shifted. In December of 2010, three years after the electrocution, Kevin and Stephanie went to Florida to celebrate Kevin finishing his mba. Even though it took great effort for her to read, Stephanie brought along a book.

[E]

I was done. I was done being sick. I was done being in pain. I was done with all of it. So I brought a book with me, and it was called Jackie Mai's Supernatural Childbirth. And it's about all of these amazing stories of women getting pregnant at all odds. So I remember going down to the pool with Kevin, and I would read this book, and I would read this book, and I would read this book, and I read it to the point where it just saturated my faith. And our pastor at our time, at the time, said, you know, you're in faith when you know that, you know that, you know that whatever you're believing for is going to happen or has happened that. And there's nothing that can dissuade you from that truth.

[D]

There, sitting near the pool, Stephanie turned to Kevin and blurted it out.

[E]

I look over to Kevin, I'm like. I'm like, kevin, I'm pregnant. And he's like, what do you mean you're pregnant? I'm like, babe, I know that I am pregnant. Like, I know that. I know that. I know that I am pregnant. And he's like, like, like now. I'm like, yeah, I think, oh, fell.

[C]

Out of the pool chair. Am I telling me this right here.

[E]

Right now, right now, is the time that you need to know that I am pregnant. Yes.

[D]

Though she hadn't taken a pregnancy test, her faith persisted.

[E]

My faith was so built up that the rest of that vacation, we picked out baby names, we went shopping for baby clothes. We knew what we wanted in our.

[C]

Nursery, how we're going to tell our.

[E]

Parents, how we were telling our parents. Like, my faith was built up. His faith. Faith was built up.

[D]

Flying high on faith, Stephanie didn't expect another migraine to suddenly incapacitate her.

[E]

So that last night when you were there, the most horrific headache hit me. So Kevin's like, please, let me take you to the hospital. I'm like, no, because I'm pregnant. And I said, whatever they're going to give me is going to harm our baby. I'm like, I can't do this. And Kevin just kept trying to rub my head. And I'm like, I'm, like, crying because the pain was so horrific. And I'm like, but, God, I trust you. I trust you. I trust you.

[D]

With God's help and Kevin by her side, Stephanie made it through that torturous night. Back home in Ohio, with quiet excitement and trembling hands, Stephanie finally took a pregnancy test. She and Kevin waited in anticipation. After everything they had endured, after all the hope she'd dared to hold onto, this was the moment of truth, the moment it could turn all around. The results appeared like a neon billboard. Negative. It was as if the ground had been pulled out from under Stephanie and Kevin. And for a moment, neither one of them could breathe. No, Stephanie thought this was all wrong. God had whispered to Stephanie's heart, He had told her she was pregnant. She refused to let it go, even when the evidence said no. Stephanie saw Faith told her yes.

[E]

And I was like, I don't understand, but I know I'm pregnant. I believe I'm pregnant. So I don't care what this test says. I don't believe it.

[D]

Stephanie called her ob gyn.

[E]

My cycle stopped in August. This was December. And she's like, I want you to take a pill. And that pill was hopefully going to start your cycle, but you need to take one more pregnancy test, and it has to be on this certain day. And we'd gone to church Saturday night, woke up Sunday morning early, took the test and it was positive. And I was like, oh my gosh. So I told Kevin and I was like, thank you, Jesus. So I remember that was a Sunday. Monday. I said, kevin, grab a pregnancy test. Because I wanted to say pregnant. Like I want to see the words. Like I don't want to see two lines. I don't want to see the positive. I want to see the word pregnant.

[D]

On Monday evening, Stephanie took a third test. Excited to see the word she knew would be there. She looked down at the test. She blinked. Two words stared back at her. Not pregnant. She shook her head, willing the words to change. Her hands went cold. The words felt like betrayal. But Stephanie refused to let go of what she believed. She refused to let those words have any power over her.

[E]

And I was like, no, no, I rebuke you, Satan. Like I am believing I'm pregnant. I'm holding a pee stick in my hand that has a positive sign. Like, I don't believe this. I need one test and it says I'm. I'm pregnant. So I'm believing that.

[C]

It was very faint.

[E]

It was very faint, but it said it. And I just believed God. I'm like, no, you will not take this from me. I believe what the word of God says. We will be fruitful and multiply.

[D]

Stephanie brought the positive test wrapped in toilet paper to her OB appointment. Proof, just in case anyone doubted her. But the doctor knew Stephanie hadn't had a cycle in months. When the doctor entered the room, she was gentle but skeptical. A nurse wheeled the ultrasound machine closer to Stephanie. The doctor touched the probe to Stephanie's belly. A look flashed across the doctor's face. She raised her eyebrows. And then she smiled. There it was. A baby. Arms, legs moving alive. Tiny limbs fluttering like leaves in the wind. A heartbeat pulsing strong and steady. Ten weeks along, Stephanie's eyes filled with tears. And then they heard the estimated date of conception.

[E]

And when we figured out when I looked at Kevin in Florida and said I was pregnant, I was pregnant.

[D]

Throughout the entire pregnancy, something extraordinary happened. Something no doctor could explain. Stephanie's years long symptoms from the electrocution disappeared. The debilitating headaches that once left her bedridden, gone. The cognitive fog that had stolen her memory, gone. The hallucinations, the anxiety, the constant fear of triggering another spiral into pain, all gone. It was as if the moment life began growing inside her, healing began growing with it. After years of praying, suffering, and wondering if she'd ever feel normal again, her brain Burned and damaged by electricity, was suddenly functioning with perfect clarity. It wasn't just a pregnancy. It was a miracle.

[E]

And we ended up delivering our little girl. Emmy Marie Faith.

[D]

Faith, because it was faith that carried Stephanie through the darkest. Faith, because faith gave Kevin hope when hope seemed dim. Faith, because it was faith that brought forth a child. Emmy Marie Faith wasn't just an answer to prayer. She was evidence of God's grace. Stephanie and Kevin were on cloud nine as they took their sweet little baby home from the hospital. But then, out of the blue, Stephanie's headaches returned. Stephanie feared the confusion might return as well, but it never did. And in God's perfect timing, within a year, the headaches stopped for good. Miraculously, completely. Today, Stephanie and Kevin have three healthy children. And Stephanie is fully restored. No residual symptoms, no relapses, just wholeness and joy. And Kevin, these days, you'll find him out on the field coaching his kids.

[C]

Only by the grace of God, we're able to have children and then eventually have three beautiful, healthy children. But it was only by the grace of God and just believing the word and knowing that, okay, my symptoms are telling me this. The doctors are telling me this, but I'm believing I'm healed, right? And I'm anchoring myself to the word of God. We're posting scriptures throughout the house as well. And we're speaking that because it was. It was only by the grace of God, the healing power of God, that we were able to get through that.

[D]

What began as a split second accident, an attempt to unplug a medical device, unleashed years of chaos, loss, and suffering. Stephanie's brain was almost destroyed, her body unraveled. Her future looked hopeless. But somewhere amid the pain and the impossible odds, Stephanie and Kevin saw God's hand in their lives. They felt his mercy, and they anchored themselves to faith. Just when it felt like, like everything was slipping away, God intervened. Because often the miracle comes after the trial by fire.

[E]

God loves us so much. Like, what the Bible says is so true. And it's true to this day. Like, miracles happen and they happen in this time still. And I just want people to know, like, have faith, because God wants to show up and he wants to show off for you.

[A]

Stephanie and Kevin are so great.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And Stephanie's faith, oh, my goodness. Like, can you believe how strong her faith was?

[F]

It was amazing. It's almost like God is like, I can't tell this one. No, no. She just believed so wholeheartedly.

[A]

Yeah, I don't think he could tell her. No. Like, she was Just not gonna accept no for an answer.

[F]

I mean, it's gutsy to tell your husband you are pregnant without any physical proof. I mean, as I'm listening to the story, I'm like, I started to doubt that she was pregnant, and I was feeling kind of sorry for her. And then I'm like, what happened to my faith? Why didn't I have enough faith to believe she was pregnant?

[A]

I know. It made me think about my own faith and how I want to be like Stephanie and just not even have a sliver of a doubt. You know, I was so inspired, and I love that it wasn't even just about the pregnancy, but God gave her this incredible gift of healing.

[F]

Yeah, for sure. You know what? It's so funny. I actually, last night came home and I saw my husband, he's lying on the bed, and I'm like, hey, how you doing? He's like, if I die today, just know I got electrocuted. No, I was like, what? He literally just got a little shock when he unplugged his laptop.

[E]

And.

[F]

And he's like. I was like, do you have any symptoms? He's like, I have no symptoms. But from your podcast, I listen to the miracle files. I could still be burning on the inside, but it's listening to too many miracle file stories.

[A]

Are we gonna make people paranoid? We're gonna make people paranoid, aren't we?

[F]

I'm sorry, guys. I know we're trying to have an uplifting podcast. The point isn't to have paranoid listeners, but yes, seriously, it comes with the territory.

[A]

Well, luckily, we give people a few helpful tips too, to help them avoid certain situations, so, yes.

[F]

All right, well, we also wanted to share a quick sound bite from Kevin and Steph because, yeah, this story happened several years ago, and their sweet little baby emmy is now 13 years old. And here's a quick little glimpse of what parenthood looks like for Kevin and Steph today.

[C]

Daughter just turned 13. And that is real, ladies. That is like people talking about your teenage years and like, nah, whatever.

[E]

And then not our sweet, precious little girl.

[C]

It's like, what happened one day?

[E]

I'm like, what the. Who are you right now?

[C]

What's this attitude? Yes. So 13 year old daughter, nine year old daughter just turned seven year old son. Yeah, so seventh grade, third grade, first grade.

[E]

So we're in the thick of it, but we love it.

[F]

I hear you. Kevin and Steph, like, parenting is the real deal, especially when you have teenagers, because I have a couple of them and I've been there. It's we call it exciting at our house.

[A]

You're in the trenches right now.

[F]

We're at the thick of it, too. I get it. But I love it, too. It's amazing.

[D]

Yes.

[A]

Okay. Steph and Kevin actually have their own podcast. It's called Tell Us a Good Story. And we're sad to hear that they had to take a break from it for a little while because life has just gotten too crazy.

[F]

Yeah. I actually listened to their last episode, which they talk about how they love their podcast, but it was taking away time from their family, which we can completely understand.

[A]

And. Yeah. Can I just be real? Podcasts are freaking hard.

[F]

They are so hard. So much harder than we ever thought.

[A]

Oh, my gosh.

[F]

A couple of years ago, I call you on the phone, I'm like, hey, Holly, you want to start a podcast? And you're like, hey, sure, why not? We did not even think about this.

[A]

No biggie.

[F]

It'll be a couple hours a week.

[A]

We'll have to quit our jobs and work for free for two years. But, hey, it's. It's all good.

[F]

But we love it. It's.

[A]

By the way. Oh, okay. So, Emily, you're always saying, just take a deep breath, right?

[F]

Yes.

[A]

I sent you something from Amazon. It's this little thing that looks like a kazoo, and then you blow this little. You blow into it, and it blows this little ball up, and I think I totally wasted my money.

[E]

Wow.

[A]

It's the lamest thing I've ever seen in my life. I loved, but enjoy. Enjoy.

[F]

Well, thank you. I appreciate it. Oh, gosh. But it is so hard. But at the same time, we do feel like we have the support of so many amazing people, so many amazing listeners, and especially we feel like we have the support of God in finding these amazing stories to share with you, so.

Oh, gosh, yeah.

[D]

Yes.
