Dr. Pamela Pyle began her medical career in 1989 with no faith in God and no expectation that the supernatural could ever intersect with science. But decades later, she stands as a witness to something that defied every clinical explanation: the miraculous healing of her blind son.
“Beginning my practice in medicine … I saw so many things — acute cases, tragedies, accidents — that I didn’t have a solution for,” Pyle told CBN News. “As a physician, it was discouraging, especially as a young physician. I had some really tragic cases early on.”

But her world began to change when her husband had a near-death experience and encountered the reality of eternity. While she initially rejected the transformation he underwent, suspecting brain trauma, he was unfazed. “When he recovered enough to be able to kind of relate this experience to me, and he was this transformed person, I wasn’t very happy,” she said. “I was so … sure that he’d had some kind of neurologic event due to low blood flow.” Yet all the neurological tests came back normal.
Still skeptical, Pyle watched her husband pray fervently for her soul. Then the unthinkable happened. Their infant son, who had been diagnosed as blind, began to see.
“He had nystagmus, which is that wandering of the eyes because there’s nothing to focus on, and we just thought he was a really attentive watching everything,” Pyle explained. “It was a really hard experience for a good friend who was our pediatrician having to tell us that he was blind.”
Everything changed one Sunday after a church service when the congregation prayed over their family. “He was changing his diaper … and wearing a tie and had stripes on it. And when he threw the tie over his shoulder, our son with his little wobbly head looked at it,” Pyle recalled. “It was unreal.”
Doctors couldn’t explain the sudden ability of their son to focus and track objects. “As a non-believer then, I’m like, ‘Well … there’s a medical explanation for this,’ which, it wasn’t even until it was much later that [I] look back and go, ‘Well, it had to have been a miracle.’ The doctors, they didn’t have an explanation for it.”

That miracle, wrapped in prayer and wrapped around the life of a child, became the breakthrough that softened Pyle’s heart. She eventually came to Christ and now shares her story boldly as both a physician and a believer.
For those still waiting on their own miracle, Pyle’s journey serves as a reminder that God is not finished yet. As she testifies, sometimes the impossible doesn’t just change your life—it saves your soul.
Let your prayers continue to rise, because miracles still happen today.
