Wow.  Can you imagine, first of all, being struck by lightning?  See your life flash before you, waking up after moments or perhaps even minutes, and realizing that you were one of the very statistically FEW people in this world who get hit by lightning - let alone who survive being struck by lighting?  Well, this guy can honestly say that he’s been hit by lightning at dinner parties.  Imagine having that story to tell, wouldn’t that be a hoot?

The man, who lives in Britain, and is now 43 years old, was struck by lightning five years ago, and after living through it was told that he was infertile and would not be able to have children.  And who could blame the doctors who treated him for thinking any different?  Well, he has surprised all involved, because he has become a father recently to a beautiful 8 pounds some odd ounces little boy.

The amazing part is how he was struck and the fact that he even survived.  I guess he was jogging not far from his home in Britain when he was struck by lightning.  The man had extensive head injuries, including a jaw break in many different places, his eye sockets were smashed (ouch!), and he also had to overcome four blood clots in his brain.  The doctors were actually amazed that he even pulled through ok.  But this guy, if there ever was a definition of one, is a total survivor. 

Not only has he made a full recovery from his internal injuries, but he is back at running and has recently run a 10k race AND he fathered a baby!  Wow, this guy is truly an inspiration I’d say.  Amazing story - these are the kinds that you actually like to hear about in the news instead of all the gloom and doom we get accustomed to hearing these days.
