A BYU Student hit by a car late last month woke up in the hospital recently as her family sang hymns at her bedside.

Lexi Hansen, an 18 year-old BYU student suffered critical head injuries after being hit by a car while crossing a street on Feb. 26.

In an interview with ABC News, Marcia Hansen, the teen’s mother, said tests indicated her daughter had essentially been brain-dead when she was brought to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo.

Lexi was in a coma for several days but on Sunday, March 2nd, the Hansen family believes they witnessed a miracle.

“We had the most amazing experience today at the end of everyone’s fast,” the family wrote on the Pray for Lexi Facebook Page. “Lexi opened her eyes and kept them open for nearly an hour while we sang hymns to her as a family. While we were singing, she hand signed, ‘I love you,’ moving her arm around so that everyone could see. She then reached for each person’s hands individually so she could squeeze them. We could hardly sing due to the tears streaming down our face. We knew we were witnessing a miracle.”

“It was a very powerful and spiritual moment and we know it was because of all the prayers and fasts offered in her behalf,” the posy continued. “Our God is indeed a God of miracles. We love our Lexi!”

Lexi continues her recovery, at the time of this publishing the most recent post on the Pray For Lexi Facebook page says, “Today Lexi was able to sit by herself without any support for a little bit. This is a pretty big deal, as she usually has two people supporting her. She was also able to get up and walk a few steps for the first time since her surgery. We're hoping to get her moved back to rehab soon.”
