Thankful to be alive

"Marc Medina will be feeling a special warmth today, and he has his fiancee and doctors at the Hospital of Saint Raphael, New Haven, CT, to thank. Medina might not have been able to share this year's Thanksgiving at all after his heart stopped last month and his brain went without oxygen for several minutes. But a new technique brought his body temperature down to 89 degrees and helped prevent brain damage, and now he's back to running and working out. The future looks so bright that he and his girlfriend of two years, Jillian Trez, took a trip to New York three weeks ago to buy an engagement ring" - New Haven Register
