Dr. Lazarus on Miracles

In Dr. Lazarus' book he breaks down the different aspects of being a pediatric oncologist. One of his sections is all about miracles that he has experienced while being in the field and one of them in particular was rather odd to me. He took care of a boy that came in with a tumor on the back of his brain, this tumor had spread to many different areas by the time they got to him and so his outlook was very grave. His parents decided to take him home so he could die peacefully, but then something happened. He actually started improving every day. The odd part about this story however is that when he regained enough strength to start communicating through arm and hand gestures he said yes by waving and no by flipping the bird. This gets even stranger, after that as he continued to improve and was able to talk he used curse words like we use please and thank-you. Though Dr. Lazarus did not offer an explanation for this kind of behavior it was extremely interesting to me that these things are what came to this child first.
