Child claims visit to Heaven

Could Acquinas have been wrong?  Anyway, a child and his family claim their son went to Heaven during emergency appendectomy surgery when he was 4 years old.  The child claims to have met his sister who died in a miscarriage, and a great grandfather he never knew.  True story?

Except for the “smile which lit up the heavens,” a turn of phrase rather beyond most 7 year olds, sounds pretty real to me.  I don’t know that the purpose of heaven is to be reunited with our loved ones, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.
