Ken & Lyn's Journey
Medical experts call Tasmanian couple Ken and Lyn Overton's recoveries "miraculous" in a new book called "Where There's Life There's Hope".
Ken and Lyn Overton’s near perfect lives changed in an instant when they were struck down with prolonged, life threatening illnesses, five years apart. However, God intervened in a series of remarkable and unprecedented events that had even the medical profession using the word “miracle”.
Their journey of faith, hope and love is an inspiration to all of us travelling this road we call “life”. Particularly those who have been, or could be, touched by sickness, suffering and grief.
The inspiring story of faith, hope and love was written as an encouragement to anyone who is, or will go through trials. The Overtons are known of in Tasmania, having lived and worked in Devonport, along the North West Coast and in Launceston all their lives. Ken is well known in the business community through his property developments and former Gyprock Plasterboard business.
Lyn's Journey 2004
Lyn was clinically dead for over 30 minutes when a blood clot broke free from her broken leg, punched through her heart and lodged in her lungs causing cardiac arrest. She was taken to the Mersey Hospital and en route suffered another arrest and also on arrival. She then had a bleed in her brain, which caused a stroke. Medical staff at the Hospital gave her little hope of survival, yet Lyn not only survived but was spared the anticipated serious brain damage.
