My youngest is your age. I know your parents want you to be happy and ok more than anything. Also your children are watching and are seeing your strength. You definitely got this!
Thank you, I appreciate that. That's what I'm hoping. That one day my kids can look back and see that I genuinely tried the best that I could for them. Regardless of what limitations that you may have, you can still make the best out of what you do have.
You're a strong woman. I know at times im sure you have down moments. However, you have 2 beautiful children, and god has kept you here for a reason. Keep your chin up and positive. Your personality keeps me watching.
Your story is very moving. Thank heavens you survived. That falling asleep at the wheel is pretty common believe it or not and driving is always risky. Bless you 🩷🐈⬛ for sharing.
@sarahcasey7172 Thank you so much💛 Is it pretty common? I haven't really looked into it. I warn all my loved ones today that if you are very tired, DO NOT RISK IT.
I fell down some of my basement steps head on into a cement well in March 2018. I busted my head open and there was blood everywhere. They stapled my head with 29 staples and then sent me to Shock Trauma in Baltimore, MD. They were going to send me home with a collar until the head of orthopedic surgery looked at my scans. I heard them say get the next operating room ready for Cole stat. My husband prayed with me before going into surgery. I was so scared. I had a C7 burst which normally results in paralysis. It is only by the grace of God that I wasn’t. My sister told me that I had broken my neck. I said no, they just operated on my back. I have been through physical therapy several times. I was finally referred to the very best physical therapist. The surgeon told me that he couldn’t put my neck all the way up. It is bent forward slightly, so gravity wants to pull it down. I am currently in physical therapy and have a personal trainer. I relive the accident almost everyday. I just praise my Lord and Savior for being with me everyday. I will pray for you. I know it must be a very difficult journey.
You have an amazing spirit and a wonderful sense of self. I appreciate you owning what happened and only looking forward because you seem to have a lot to look forward to. Be well!
New subscriber Hi...your honest about happened.and about learning what you went through with your legs...in 2021 I survived an aneurysm...I had to learn to walk again. That was so hard...my therapist cam to my house 3 times a week.thankfully I'm completely better now..and this morning I had to see a shrink about my PTSD from my 4 deployments to the middle east..I saw some really bad stuff.amd I can't get it out of my head which causes me alot of sleep loss..I can only sleep 2 to 3 hrs a night. Take care and stay happy
Oh my goodness. I appreciate you sharing a little about yourself. It sounds like you continue to fight for yourself, and that is very admirable. Sounds like you have also seen a lot, and I can not imagine. I'm so glad to hear physically you are better now💛 Thank you for subscribing, I appreciate the support🤗
I had so many different versions of this video, but if I kept trying to make it perfect (like I had been trying to do) it never would have made it to post. Thanks for watching💛
This popped up on my viewing.. this is the first video i I've watched. You are beautiful & strong. I subscribed & I'll check out other video's. Bless you for sharing your life story, I look forward to the others!
really like your story and the style which you do your content! you would have to be an extremely determined person to overcome being in a wreck, drug addiction and being a mom hope you guys have a awesome weekend ❤🩹
Thank you, Chris. Yes, there definitely were some trying times, but I'm grateful I made it through. I hope you have a great weekend, too. Thank you for your comment☺️
@Chris-farmer oh wow, now that is tough. When do the two of you ever sleep! No, trust me, I completely get it and I admire you two for doing what you need to do to support your family. Thank you so much for sharing with your wife. Hi Wifey!🙂
@@Mom-ability does make it tough. Me and my wife don't really have the traditional family support. He does go to daycare now. My wife gets a little spoiled since she has him I do nearly all the housework when I'm off
You have such charisma and I applaud you for that. I am brand new to your channel. I just finished watching your incredible story. I am curious to know about your experience healing the emotional trauma the accident brought on? Aside from the physical trauma. If you are willing to share?
Yes, absolutely. I have a video titled "Coping After Becoming Paralyzed" that goes much more in-depth about the emotional side of things. RUclips does not promote the video all that much bc it talks about addiction, so it may be tricky to find, but it is on my channel. If you have any questions after watching that video, just let me know, and I'd be more than happy to answer them for you. 💛 Here is the link to the video, but youtube does not always allow me to post clickable links, but I'm going to try anyhow😉 ruclips.net/video/9qtVBwyvudI/видео.htmlsi=BIGnPBMyCmzHJueX
@@Mom-ability 3 girls, my twins just turned 8 and my youngest is 5. I was only 21 when my twins were born, and getting a “two for one” as first time parents certainly made our third child seem extremely easy! how about you, how many children do you have?
When people find out I have 3 kids including twins they always say “oh childbirth must have been really hard for you” I have a complete injury so giving birth was literally painless, I was like “ok let me know when they’re out” I did not feel a thing.
Such a simple and sad mistake that often happens close to home.....we try to make it back but drift off. You lived, some don't . Fortunate that no one was killed. You have 2 children however refer to yourself as single. Were you married? Do your children have the same father? Are their father/s in their lives?
Yes, both of my kids have the same father. I was engaged to be married to him, but we didn't make it. He gets the kids every other weekend and once during the week.
My youngest is your age. I know your parents want you to be happy and ok more than anything. Also your children are watching and are seeing your strength. You definitely got this!

Bless you for all the trauma you went through and can come on here and talk about it. You are truly an inspiration.
@@thelmabinkley6909 Thank you so much.💛
Thank you for your bravery and strength to tell us this story! I have screws and rods in my back also and in my neck.
Wow you come full circle. You are beautiful in and out. You keep going apparently your a stong young lady😊

Aw, thank you🤗
I'm thankful you're alive. I lost someone in the same manner back in '97. It didn't hit me until this video. He was 17.
oh my goodness, I am so sorry for your loss😢💛
You have an amazing spirit and a wonderful sense of self. I appreciate you owning what happened and only looking forward because you seem to have a lot to look forward to. Be well!
I appreciate every single word in your comment. Thank you so much, and thank you for taking the time to watch💛

Great start, I can only imagine how tough it was telling that and having to re-live those moments. You did very well.
thank you😊
You have such a amazing outlook sending ❤️
Thank you so much, I appreciate that💛 I definitely try.

Be strong 💪

Such a simple and sad mistake that often happens close to home.....we try to make it back but drift off.
You lived, some don't .
Fortunate that no one was killed.
You have 2 children however refer to yourself as single.
Were you married?
Do your children have the same father?
Are their father/s in their lives?
Yes, both of my kids have the same father. I was engaged to be married to him, but we didn't make it. He gets the kids every other weekend and once during the week.
You are truly an inspiration.!!❤❤
