ROCHESTER — Have you ever experienced an event that made you think that there was definitely someone from somewhere else looking after you — watching over you in a time of great need?
That's what Nick and Kendra Leibold believe happened when, by chance, a neighbor found Nick Leibold lying motionless next to a tractor in a farm field.
"When our neighbor found him, it looked like Nick had been shot," Kendra said. "Outwardly, he didn't seem to have any injuries. It just looked like a small hole on the back of his shirt where some blood was coming through. That's all you could see."
Moments after they got the 911 call, a team of first responders arrived on the scene. Soon afterwards, Nick was in an ambulance en route to a local hospital, where experts requested help from Mayo Clinic because the rural hospital did not have everything needed to save Nick.
Nick and Kendra say innovations on board the emergency helicopter Mayo One, were one of the reasons Nick is alive today. But they also say there are many people and things that helped solve the mystery of what happened to Nick and kept him alive. That includes a mysterious stranger who arrived on the scene to help, never to be seen or heard from again.
