As a 73 year old polio survivor who had to learn to walk three times, I can tell you have the right attitude. I’ll pray for your best outcome but, I know you will make the best of whatever that might be. Don’t be too hard on those people who keep asking the same question, they just don’t realize how many times you’re asked. Have a Very Merry Christmas, Love Ron
Congratulations to you and your strength!! I also agree her attitude is whats going to make her journey/rehab soo much more healthier...I believe God has plans for her and that the her storm will not last for life..I believe miraculously God is going to fully heal her
Wow, God bless you!!
@name Dafuq what does this have to do with Republicans
@@MatthewC33199 I think what they mean is republicans don't fund stem cell research is because it will limit the funding to the pharmaceutical companies. What she needs is stem cell development. Not pills, or capsules. That's why that statement was made.
@@renatojohnsonjr.5403 I think the reason Republicans don’t fund stem cell research is because of its connection to abortions, but I still don’t see what this has to do with the video. Yeah, stem cell research might benefit her, but it’s a bit of a non sequitur to bring politics into it.
I was paralyzed at 17 also. Been in wheelchair for 26 years now. You have the right attitude to keep on keeping on.
Attitude is the word that continued coming to my mind.
I was paralyzed at 18 and have been in a wheelchair for 14 years....I wholeheartedly agree with you.
T Blackwell and JJ Strength and Honor through Jesus . God bless you all. I too have life changes. ♥️♥️♥️
Me paraplegic at 12, 44 years and counting... You do the best with what you've got...
@@daveb5892 Forrest Gump said “Life’s like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.” I tend to think of it as a poker game with each hand dealt revealing new things. I’m not paralyzed, so I’m not wanting to seem flippant. I have been dealt great and awful hands, like anyone. I prefer to engage with anyone (online making it easier for everyone, perhaps a blessing and a curse) because I value every individual. Each person has unique assets and liabilities. Experiences further individuality. Some are more common, some less.
She is wise beyond her years.I have a feeling she will be someone who surprises her family, her therapists, and her doctors with her recovery.I really think she is going to do something special in this life to make a difference in the world.
I think she already has …. And there is more to come!! ❤
I was in an accident when I was 16, left me paralyzed, know I am 32 married for 10 years and have 2 beautiful daughters one is 10 and my baby is 4, keep that beautiful smile and amazing attitude, will be praying for you. 💜
Wow Lucy, incredible 👏
You are an inspiration. I truly mean it.
Couldn't your husband get in trouble for having sex with an invalid? Isn't that rape or molestation or sex abuse?
Hi, Makayla Oct 2021 was my 40th year of living as a C5-6 quadriplegic. You have started on a new journey with many twists and turns; keep a positive attitude! Much will change; you will continue to grow more independent. You will look back in five years; much of what you are doing now will look much different. You probably will no longer need compression socks or a belly band to maintain your blood pressure. You will not need as much assistance from others. I encourage you to pursue learning to drive one of the best things I have ever done. Just a little about me I am married, have two children, I work, and drive by myself most times. I wish you the very best. David
Very beautiful powerful message :)
That’s such a wonderful message, and I am so very happy to hear you are living your life to the fullest!
I’m sure your comments are very encouraging to her 👍🏻
Thanks for the specifics of the journey, really helps, best to you!!! 🙏
Wow.. I fail (sometimes) to remember how resilient the human body and mind can be.. I really hate to say, how inspirational this is .. because being human and overcoming is your human experience... But . You are amazing
My Dad broke his neck and back a few days before your accident. You were two doors from him in ICU. We’ve kept you and your family in our prayers and will continue to do so. You had a lot of love and support in that waiting room downstairs! ❤️
Diana I hope your Dad is doing well. Prayers said for him. ❤
I’m sure she doesn’t really want her info out there. Pls be careful
I know you mean well but this is a public plattform, and safety first online is to not give out private details. There are sadly too many awful people online treating info like this about others in a bad way. You might want to remove your comment out of respect for her privacy and also your own, Diana!💛
@@soilgrasswaterair it was on the local news (her hospital, etc. She did interviews) God bless all injured 🙏🏻
Praying for your Dad and your family ❤❤❤❤❤
This is to your parents. When I was a kid, I got really sick with meningitis and encephalitis. I lost the ability to walk and talk. I recovered very slowly. This was majorly difficult for my parents. Take time for self care, parents. You have raised a resilient young woman has a great mindset. Parents are so important and your self care is going to help out your daughter’s recovery. Prayers!!
Insightful, Betty. I hope it gets seen by the parents. Mariah, too.
From someone whom also needs significant help by my carers, I second your suggestion to her parents & loved ones! It's a long haul and we count on you taking good care of yourself in all ways, it's not selfish of you and honestly sometimes we need the reminder to look outside ourselves in our struggle, but it's not because we don't care!!!! 🙏❤️🌈💞
“You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice”
I like how you say things will “look a little different” rather than just saying you won’t be able to do certain things anymore. You’re so amazing girl!
When I was her age I had a very clear view of what my future looked like. And now I'm 40 and my life looks NOTHING like that view, and I'm extremely happy. Life rarely turns out how you picture it when you are young, and that is almost never a bad thing. Not saying anyone has to be happy that they got a spinal injury, just saying that life can be pretty dang awesome even when it looks nothing like you pictured.
I cant believe how positive she is about the traumatic accident. It doesn't look/feel like she's faking for the camera either. God bless this girl and her family
I think it’s denial. It’s only been 2 months, and I don’t think she’s fully realized that this is it. Forever.
@Zeus Masterson some people recover and are able to walk don't have to be mean grouch
@@zeusmasterson4117 I understand your reply. I am on a similar journey myself, and was very driven and hopeful in hospital, also then during 2 in patient rehabs and months at home with all the support. Then COVID hit. Everything (!) has been an uphill battle ever since, and I think it popped my denial bubble much sooner than it might have before. The natural denial is a good thing in a way, lots of momentum you need to get out of the foxhole. But the often slow, creeping nature of any spinal recovery gives one plenty of time for the 5 stages of grief. The important thing is she has her brain intact, and has physical youth and a youthful attitude on her side, as well as obviously devoted loved ones. They'll be bumps ahead but she isn't alone. 🙏❤️🌈
@@zeusmasterson4117 I have heard way too many stories to think this is just it for this sweet girl. ♡ Just so you know... she probably reads these comments. Make sure what you put jn a comment is actually what you would say to her face... you sounded pretty rude.
@@zeusmasterson4117 like why would you write that in the comments of her videos she can clearly see.... do you all not have basic decency??
You remind me a lot of a friend of mine who is also a C6 fracture. She is in her mid-50s now and was paralyzed at 16 from a diving accident. She has held on a job her whole life, married, had children, was a travel agent so she travelled. Her positive attitude also was amazing just like you are. You will do well in life.
Was her name felisha?
❤❤❤😍
I cannot believe her attitude. My goodness, she is unbelievably positive. What an Angel!! I feel blessed to have come across her page. She is amazing. ❣
If you’re still passionate about cheering, you could look into coaching for cheer clubs. My club volleyball coach broke his c6 playing football when he was 17 in 2007. Now his father, brother, and himself are the best volleyball coaches in south Mississippi. He was the reason our team had no excuses for failure, he has taught so many young girls that no matter what you can still get out there and do what you want.
You got this! My mother was also paralyzed from the neck down. Many Drs told her she would never walk again and she told them "yes I will"! She did almost 2 yrs of inpatient physical therapy in the hospital and she walked out of the building! You got a great attitude towards your recovery, I have no doubt you will put in the hard work and regain much more!
I also had to teach myself how to walk again after an accident. I had to do all of my own PT cause the hospital treated me like crap and wouldn't help me at all.... because I was not one of the beautiful people that had insurance.
God bless her
How did someone who was paralyzed from the neck down walk again?
@@karyndewit193 It’s not unusual. If a person’s spinal cord is severed, there is no chance of recovering function. However, if the spinal cord is injured in a less serious way, it can swell or just be damaged. People who have this type of injury have a good chance of recovery. In the video, she describes how she regained partial use of her hands. It’s the same basic idea with legs.
I’m so happy to hear that! Do you remember a contestant on Dancing with the Stars who had been a quadriplegic? Like your mom, it took YEARS of work to recover, and doctors told her “if you have not recovered function by now, you won’t.” She refuses to believe them and continued an unbelievable PT regimen for a long time (I want to say 2 years) after they told her it was hopeless. One day she felt a muscle twitch in her leg. Fast forward to winning medals for swimming in the Paralympics, then total recovery. Now, you would never know it happened by looking at her. Your mom must have superhero strength!
I was paralyzed by a drunk driver October 2 of 94 when I was 15 a month shy of my 16th...I'm a T4-7 , nipple level down also. It takes time love, but you find you'll come out way stronger in the end. You're a freaking rock star! 💞😸💐🌟
As are you!
It's so amazing that you survived not just the accident but the pnemonia and the lung collapses. I married my high school sweetheart, we started dating when I was 14 and he was my world. When I was 28, he sustained a injury and needed surgery for a infection from it. He got a hospital related infection, his lungs collapsed, he was on a ventilator for 11 days, they had tubes draining his lungs and despite being young and fit, he didnt survive. I miss him so much. I'm so happy for you, you have overcome so much
I AM SO SORRY!
That's so sad, I'm sorry for your loss 😔
My Faith, Family, and Friends helped me get through my accident in 1989. I'm also a c6/c7 quad. When I was newly injured, my mom and dad would always tell people "He's the same guy he's always been, just talk to him". My personality has not changed and it has totally helped me get on with my life and love the things I do and have done. ATTITUDE is everything. Stay positive and don't be afraid to try new things. God Bless.
The fact the doctors say they don't know if you will walk again is huge. The fact they are leaving that window open. Most of the time it's a sad no. Keep pushing. You haven't peaked yet.
Yes!!!
she’s made so much progress in just 2 months i think it’s DEFINITELY a possibility
She went from not being able to move her whole body to being able to sit up and move her arms. I’d say she’s making a lot of progress.
@@Rose7576_ typically with paralysis, the most progress is made in the first couple months
@@9melissal & she will continue to make rapid progression in the upcoming days, months & years.
My daughter has been in a wheelchair her whole life, shes 21 now, ....and yes traveling is harder....but she/we has been to all kinds of places around the world. A travel vlog to help others with physical impairments and wheelchairs navigate is something my husband and I always say there is a definite call for. Go do it girl.... and let us know where to sign up!!!
What an incredible young woman you are! With your amazing attitude you'll definitely go on to do amazing things. Such an inspiration!
When I was 18 I was shot and paralyzed from the belly button down. I was an absolute mess. I was bitter and angry and cried every day. I ended up walking again although it’s not normal and I’m in a lot of pain and various other spinal cord injury things, anyway I don’t know how this girl has such a good attitude. It is amazing. I am still a nightmare sometimes and it’s been 25 years!! You are amazing Mak. I’m amazed.
duude 😔 i pray for you😘
So so sorry!! Genuinely. ✨💗
I’m so sorry for what happened to you and you have every right to feel the way you did/do. I see Christ in this girl and know only through the power of Jesus can joy and happiness shine through.
God has a plan for you, he knows how strong you are. You are loved.
This just makes me realize how much I take my legs for granted. I hope ur well !
I was 18 when a diving accident left me a C5/6 quadriplegic and I knew right away that I was paralyzed but I was also face down in the water and I ended up drowning and needing CPR. It's been 33 years and life is tough but you learn to cope. Good Luck and stay really strong !
Don’t know you personally, but I already know you’re amazing 💕
@@monalucia2610 thanks I appreciate it.
Be blessed. I thank the Holy Spirit for touching your body right now. Be healed and receive grace and life and peace in Jesus name.
Thank you for sharing ur optimism and view on life.
Such an inspirational young woman and so much more mature beyond her years.
She is such an optimist. Love that! I pray that she will definitely get better and better each day
My 12 year old daughter has been in competition cheerleading for 5 years now. People don’t realize that it’s a very extreme sport. Sadly, most states don’t recognize it as a sport either. In 2020, right before we went into Covid lockdown, she landed a stunt wrong during practice (she’s a flyer) and broke her C2 vertebrae! I can’t even tell you the fear and panic a mother goes through when your child is injured in such a way. I was so scared she would end up paralyzed. Count my blessings everyday that wasn’t the end result. They call it a “hangman’s fracture” on the two places she broke her neck. So thankful for the team at Mass General in Boston. They have some of the best specialists in the field. My daughter is finally fully healed now, but it was a long road filled of appointments, pain, neck braces, etc. The only good thing was that it happened right as we were stuck inside for the full year in lockdown. So she got to heal. She wants to go back to cheer, as she’s been dedicated for 5 years now, but that one time was enough of a scare for me that I can’t allow it. I have no doubt that you will be back fully walking again as well! 💗
I’m over twice your age and still not as mature as you. You’re an inspiration
I wrote exactly the same comment under her other video. I even thought it was my comment. Wow 🙂
My dad is a pilot for United and my mom used to be a flight attendant and they both know your dad. They told me about the accident when it happened and my heart broke for you. You are such a strong and beautiful girl and seeing you handle all of this with a smile on your face is incredibly beautiful. You have so many amazing things ahead of you💖💖💖
Hey! I’m a 22 year old college student getting ready to go out into the work force, and it can be scary. It’s a big transition to go from a life of academia to the real world. Seeing you and your videos made all my anxiety dissipate: what you are experiencing is so much more complex and difficult than what I am, and your positivity is contagious. When the world is so dark, seeing such a ray of light is so refreshing. You’re an inspiration to me. Sending love!
I would disagree with comments saying you are inspiring because you are strong and brave. Because I think the most inspiring thing about you is your positivity. Not a lot of people can relate to your story because its yours and everyone's different, so even if it makes me think i can be more self-confident in my insecurities seeing how you are still happy in that difficult time, I think the best part of you is how (even if you may have very hard and sad days) you share how staying positive, smiling is always the first step in every cure to get better, physically or mentally. Thank you
The accomplishments you have made are Huge! I can relate 100% as I broke my neck Nov. 2018. I was paralyzed and they didn't know the prognosis as everyone is different. After 2 most at Craig Hospital and 6 most. At QLI in Nebraska I was able to walk. It's not the same as before but I am grateful everyday. You will get stronger and be able to do tons more as time passes no matter if it's in a wheelchair or not. I will keep you in my prayers for continued progress and love.
AMAZING!! Merry Christmas Krissy, lots of love ❤
its crazy yu said that.. in my heart i feel she will walk again too..
Congratulations on your victory and helping others to get stronger 💪! Merry Christmas
God love us so much and there is you an example of his love and mercy. God bless you and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Don't "should" on yourself, sweetheart. You're right, it's a whole new body and you are working SO hard and accomplishing SO much. Please treat yourself like you'd treat a friend, be patient and loving to yourself. You deserve all good things.
Very true
I agree 💯
What perfect advice.... treat yourself like a friend. How amazing
You are an inspiration...attitude is everything. Our son broke his neck 7 years ago..he has the same injury as you do. He was 18 at the time...Your journey resonates with us..he never went into a power wheelchair which allowed his friends to take him out..they would just through his ass and wheelchair wheelchair in their vehicles..lol. He is doing amazing...drives ...has a dog...and a amazing girlfriend...stay strong...."Inner Strength Mental Toughness "
You are such a fighter……. I am amazed how Jesus is using you so much to reach multitudes. Keep up the good work my sister in Christ. I am amazed at your bright light….
At only 17, you are handling all of this in such an incredible mature way...so much more than I could at 42. You don't seem to bear anger about your situation in anyway and I know if I was in your place, I wouldn't feel the same. I really need to work on some things. I pray God blesses you and your family with incredible miracles and opportunities.
I suffered a penetrating brain injury.. My parents were told it was very unlikely I would survive the 1st 24 hours then they were told if I did survive I would have severe cognitive issues then they were told I would never walk or feed myself or be independent in any way again...I walk (with a limp & cane), have zero cognitive problems & am 100% independent.. I am not going to lie & tell you it's easy my left arm left leg from the knee down are paralyzed..I have a lot of pain and a couple other health problems..its been 6 years I'm still in physical & occupational therapy & go to all of my different doctors multiple times a month but I'm alive, happy & my favorite thing to do is prove the people wrong who tell me I cant do something! Good luck girl!
Amen. You are amazing too. You keep showing people you are not finished and you are going to live your life. Huge hug
@@tc8404 thank you that put a huge smile on my face...😁
You are amazing!!!!!
The world needs more women like you. You are a rock star bad ass and have soooo much ahead of you!! I applaud you for everything you’ve done and everything you’re going to continue to do!! Love, hugs, respect and good vibes from your friend in Houston TX.
Bless you ❤️
I've worked with alot of spinal injuries as a nurse and you have one of the BEST attitudes/perspectives I've ever seen in all my time nursing! Seriously so impressive considering how young you are especially and how difficult it must be to go from being so active/athletic to suddenly not being able to. It's very inspiring! You are such a beautiful person in every way! I hope you continue to recover and get stronger, but I have no doubts you will make the most of life and do great things. Also your family seems AMAZING I know you already know this, but yall are SO lucky to have each other. I wish everyone had that kind of love and support. It really makes all the difference.
An excellent book to read is “You Are the Placebo” by Joe Dispenza. He had a catastrophic back injury (hit by a truck while on a bicycle) and essentially ignored doctors and created his own healing path. He talks about how our own thoughts and mindset are so important as far as healing. Edit: I am not saying at all to ignore your doctors LOL I am just saying read the book. I found it inspiring in dealing with my own difficulties which are nothing near what you or Dr Dispenza experienced.
That book is a crock of chit
I don't know what to say. I watched this video, and saw a girl that is just so positive, and not asking for pity in any way. She is just an incredible person. So positive and just looking to the future and not feeling sorry for herself, nor wanting anyone else to, either. How can you you not love this girl and want her to have the best she can have? What a role model she is. Pure positivity.
So agree!
It radiance off of her it’s losing from her and you can actually sense and feel that it’s authentic and it’s pure and she has sense of joy and optimism in her life even though her circumstances isn’t probably what she had wanted that’s a decent way to look at life and obstacles.
I'm not even sure how I found you, but today especially this close to Christmas im very glad I did. I am a 31 year old fully mobile mother of 2. However I tend to not have such a sunny disposition on life when thing gets tough. And I look at you and everything you have been through, holding such a happy attitude in the face of life's biggest battle makes you an inspiration to me. So thank you for being an inspiration to me
Same!!!
same. I'm sitting here on my couch bawling my eyes out at almost 3am at how brave and courageous she is and her positive attitude is AMAZING.
Don't let the Disney cast fool you...try finding her non existent triacheostomy scar she was obviously trying to hide @16:06
OMG, ME TOO! ❤️❤️❤️
@@crackercarlbumpkin866 not everyone scars the same way. I can see hers. dont be an asshole.
I was recently in an accident and needed a total hip replacement quite young (32). I struggled with this for quite a while as the surgery was done abroad (accident happened in Africa). When I got home the surgeon here said that he would not have given me a total hip replacement and would have tried screws first. I went through a lot emotional turmoil with this and obsessive thoughts due to my OCD. I felt robbed of my hip and doomed to definite future surgeries. But your video popped up on my feed and it has really helped to give me perspective and encourage acceptance of my current situation. Although my issue was traumatic for me, I need to put it into perspective. At least I'm alive and breathing, like you. Your attitude is so inspirational, I am going to take a leaf out of your book. Thank you for spreading your positivity, it's infectious and has helped countless people to see the positive in their own situations, just like you have. xx
“I can do ALL things through Christ who gives me His strength.” Philippians 4:13 You are inspiring young lady! 💖 You will touch and encourage many through your healing journey.

Our first born daughter was a ventilator dependant quad as a result of a car accident in 1988. She was 5 at the time and of the pioneers in promoting home care. As I was scrolling I came across your channel and was very impressed with your attitude and the relatable equipment then and now. I hope you are able to recover even more but the most important thing is to keep your positive attitude. There are so many opportunities available now. Best wishes for your future, take care.
The world can learn a lot from you young lady, keep smiling and keep that positive attitude 🥰😇 May Godbless you 🙏🏽
My daughter had her spine injury in 2015 she is now 17 and still recovering..she is driving now and has become an amazing artist with limited use of her hands, God is with her through this whole life changing experience sometimes it takes awhile to see his plans!! Stay strong and stay active
As a disabled person I can't imagine how difficult it would be to become paralyzed in a freak accident especially being athlete life is very fragile you can do more than you think driving getting married going to college is all possible many paralyzed people have careers just remember your beautiful and can do anything you put your mind to you just have to do it differently than others you can still enjoy life with a little help from family and friends!💓
A few years ago I was hit by CFS/ME which has left me almost completely bedbound and housebound. Prior to getting sick I was a marathon runner, enjoying a successful career in teaching, a job I loved, and was a very outgoing and sociable person who was rarely at home. You are obviously dealing with far, far more severe issues than I am, but a lot of what you were talking about here really resonates with me. Taking things one day at a time, trying to focus on the positives rather than the negatives, trying to learn the lessons that a major life-changing event brings along with it. Having said all that, your strength and positive attitude at such a young age is truly remarkable and truly inspiring. It took me years to begin to accept the changes to my life now, which included going off the rails many times, whereas you seem to be at peace with things after only a few months. Your remarkable strength shines through the screen, and I'm glad you're surrounded by such an incredible family to help pick you up on the inevitable bad days. Your words in this video will have provided so much inspiration so many people around the world, including me over here in the UK, and I just want to thank you for sharing your story with us.

I broke my back when I was 13 (1995) and they (my doctors) told me I would never walk again. While it was a struggle, I did eventually walk again. I still don’t have 100% feeling in my legs but enough I can run. You are definitely a light. Keep your smile. I pray you will eventually walk again. Just keep rehabbing but you got this girl! Stay strong in the Lord.
Awesome 👏
You are the most inspirational person I have ever heard of. This literally just happened and you seem to have such a healthy outlook on everything. I hope you know how truly remarkable you are!!!
You make your father proud. Any father would want a daughter like your with your positive outlook in life young lady 😊.
Also, please never feel like you have to talk about the accident or anything related to it. You have every right to share what you want, and you don’t owe anyone details if you aren’t comfortable. The most important thing for you to share is your beautiful recovery and attitude ❤️ thank you thank you thank you
I won't be surprised if you find yourself doing some motivational speaking and travel. Your positivity is very inspiring. A cheerleader of life 💕

You are an inspiration Makayla. Thank you for being such a bright light!

Your positivity.. . No matter how difficult it is to find sometimes. Is such a HUGE blessing and gift to others.

You're truly inspirational and at a young age with such a positive attitude with your situation and grace where, I've seen older ppl in your situation that I've worked with who aren't able to have the positive deposition. May your story continue to reach and inspire others. Great family who loves and supports you.
She’s recovered so quickly (physically but specially mentally) that it’s crazy to think she had no idea this would be her life 4 months ago
God bless you young friend! God loves you and will be with you as you continue to recover! Love your attitude and faith!!!
You’ve got amazing strength, wisdom and positivity for a 17 year old. You’re a great role model for younger girls like my 10 year old daughter. I’m going to tell her about you and hope she finds you as inspiring as I have.
You are so strong and thoughtful for sharing. Thank you so much Makayla. These videos do more good than you can imagine.
I love how positive she is about everything that she has been thru ! So amazing to see someone so young have this kind of perspective on life after such a traumatic event happening to them

Ty!!
Did you really put a trigger warning for religion? Go off Satan.
My best friend is in a wheel chair & she travels all the time! Like all the time! Do what you want & live baby girl ❤️
You are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your story and your journey💗
You are a bundle of knowledge and inspiration to all who watch these video’s of yours. Thank you so much for doing these. So young yet so wise.
Lesson for everyone on earth, life will not go as planned, and when it doesn't, choose to have a positive attitude like this inspiring young lady. I can't put into words how inspiring, smart, positive, determined, ambitious, and faith-filled this girl is.
You go girl!! My son was injured in 2001, he was just 20 months old. He was a c5-c6 and now he c7 on his right side. He got his driver’s license in 2019, we have not yet been able to get the assistive technology. A power assist manual wheelchair is great! Jeremiah 29:11 So many ppl just don’t understand SCI. Many blessings to you and your loved ones.
Chrystal Plott- all best to you and your son. Hoping you and he receive all possible AT devices SOON. As you know, they can make such a difference. For everyone.
Chrystal, my son also had SCI in 2018, when he was only 15 yo. I believe Voc rehab can help with car adaptations ( unsure , however) - my son needed hand controls and thank God, can drive himself! 2 Corinthians 5:7 ✝️✝️🙏🏻🙏🏻 God bless you guys with peace and strength and joy !
Your videos popped up on my timeline and I'm so glad they did. You are such a bright, beautiful light! Continue to hold strong to your faith and family. May God continue to bless you!!
I love your positive outlook! It's contagious. You can help a lot of people have a better outlook which makes a better life.
Came up on my page today and turns out I'm an ICU RN I am 100% with u when u said u were SO proud of getting off the vent and trach and when you were able to eat again and those are victories we don't take lightly here in the Neuro ICU 🥰 Keep your chin up! You're doing amazing taking it day by day!!!
I was carbon monoxide poisoned 14 years ago along with my daughters. Every day is finding dory, along with all our health problems and disabilities. I've always felt that stronger people need bigger challenges, and We are positive out of necessity. It helped me alot to find this video, just to be reminded that i am not alone. You're wonderful, Have a wonderful new year. :)
So you have memory problems? How were your daughters affected? Sorry, just curious, hope I'm not invading your space. Hugs! I'm sure life isn't always easy but you are all in my prayers.
Thank you for sharing with us, your mindset is absolutely amazing ♥️
You're so brave and positive ♥️ it's great to have such a supportive family by your side
Hey girl I did Semester at Sea back in 2017. We had a professor on the ship in a power wheelchair and she was able to do everything, just in a little different way! If you want to go, definitely don’t let it stop you. It was the best experience I have ever had. You got this!
I don’t know your story yet but my son is almost 15 last weekend he was at a cheer competition (they won’t 1st grand champion) we drove home Monday when he woke up he could barely walk long story short he has a bilateral L5 Fractures he is devastated to loose cheer he doesn’t dig being in the hospital or waring a TLSO back brace not to mention Christmas right around the corner! We don’t know what the future holds as every time a doctor comes in things changes your videos are so encouraging to me as a parent!! Thank you for sharing your story!!!
She was a superstar cheerleader. The scent of arrogance still lingers….
@@Cultofpersonality09129 lingers? Its as thick as cake frosting.
Prayers that your son makes a full recovery. God bless him!!
I didn't see any arrogance. And even if she was arrogant, good for her for believing in herself and accomplishing more in an hour than either of you two louts ever will. Your attitudes suck. Examine yourselves before you criticize a young lady who has been through so much.
Ma'am sending prayers for your son's full recovery
I love your positive vibes and I REALLY LOVED your honesty and openness as it relates to questions that can't be answered right now. Good job on establishing boundaries and gently reminding everyone that you are stll human and can be triggered. Thank you for being you. 💗
Your positive attitude is helping me in my own troubles. Thank you.
You are the brightest human being and your story is SO incredibly touching. You’re so wise and positive and I aspire to be more like you! I can’t wait to follow your journey and see where this life takes you.
How the accident happen? The hell was she doing bungee jumping off a clift?
@@Ali-ev3zq ohh. Dam it happens.
@@scarredshortstv7954 it was she said it was on the news... and paper...look it up
Sophia Malthus is someone for whom you might search. She’s incredible, just like this girl. Her story is on the Attitude channel. These people, including those around them, define greatness. Truly humbling is witnessing such character. I’ve always been a huge football fan, but frankly? Catch the ball or drop it. There’s things society should rethink. Perhaps it’s better to walk away from the colosseum some day.
Makayla I remember hearing about your accident in my school ( Rock Hill ) and all of my cheerleading friends where wearing purple shirts we dedicated one of our spirt dress up days to you and everyone one wore purple . And some of my fellow team mates on the wrestling team remembered you and are friend with you from when they went to prosper high before rock hill opened , and they all said some amazing things about you and it makes me wish I knew you . You are so Courageous , strong brave and you seem like your handling your accident very well you just going day by day , your amazing
