"His experience in Heaven hasn't changed [my] son, but because Colton was so young when it happened it has defined his life." -Todd Burpo

Todd and Sonja Burpo of Imperial, Nebraska were visiting Colorado with their 3-year-old son Colton, when he began complaining of a stomach ache. Despite suggestions of possible appendicitis, he was dismissed, but returned to a hospital two days later, and was eventually rushed into surgery.

It was discovered that his appendix had burst some five days before he was finally diagnosed.

Now his life hung by a thread and his parents hit their knees in prayer. Miraculously, little Colton survived. And, after a couple of surgeries and a difficult recovery, their boy bounced back.

However, according to the KWGN report, that's not where the story ends. Colton said and did things here and there after his surgery that caught his parents' notice, but it wasn't till four months later, when they passed the hospital where they almost lost him that Todd and Sonja realized something extraordinary had happened.

After Todd pointed out the hospital, Colton?who was in the back seat?said, "The angels sang to me when I was there."

"He was dead serious," Todd remembered.

Since that time, Colton has been able to recall and tell his parents about many things he saw and did "while he was in Heaven." But the most remarkable of all was what he told his mother one day?

"Mom, I have two sisters, you had a baby die in your tummy didn't you?"

According to the article, Sonja was completely shocked by what her little boy had just said, because she and Todd had never told him about the miscarriage she had had before Colton came along.

Sonja asked her son who it was that told him about the child she lost, and to her amazement, Colton answered, "She did Mommy, she said she died in your tummy. She looked familiar and she started giving me hugs and she was glad to have someone in her family up there."

As time went on the family was urged to write down the experiences Colton had described and compile them into a book. Todd resisted, but then finally relented when God seemed to answer a "fleece" he had put out. Now the book "Heaven is For Real" is at the top of the NY Times Bestseller List.
