Miracles and medicine

On Wednesday, June 26th, 2013 (one day after we celebrated his 37th birthday), my husband, Marcus Hunter went into cardiac arrest while playing basketball at the gym. My husband died for a while that day – as in no pulse, no heart rhythm, V-fib, etc. Those words were all associated with my husband on that, the scariest day of my life.
