I was born with hydrocephalus and luckily it drained over time. I’m 56 years old and have all my faculties. I’m a mother of two and have three grandchildren. Worked my whole life and have had meningioma tumor that occurring at the scull base within my spinal fluid. No clue if it was linked. Had tumor removed by craniotomy at 42 years old. With some deficits I live today and love as much life as I’m given. She is such a blessing❤ she will amaze you. Bless your adorable family 🙏
She’s beautiful and a little fighter. Children amaze us everyday. God bless you Fletcher. We also share the same name ❤ Fletchers are arrow makers, so you continue to shoot those arrows higher and higher.. Beautiful story of a beautiful family ❤
My sister was born with hydrocephalus, she is almost 60 years old now. She is a mother and an important part of everyone's life. God bless your whole journey.
testimony of God's miraculous healing power, even WITHOUT doctors & medicine! The power of PRAYER! jUST THINK OF HOW MUCH WE CAN DO WITH PRAYER, MONEY, AND MEDICINE, AS WELL AS TLC!
A lot of people died and it isn’t because they didn’t pray. Would God not have been wonderful if you died? I don’t understand why some people believe god answered their prayers but not for others. This family used prayer to make it through any outcome and they did.
@@Sue-hippielove who made God a “he”. It was doctor, a group of scientists, and access to modern healthcare that killed your cancer. Without it you’d be dead. Can you give some credit to the people who spent their entire lives in school to cure your cancer? The Republican Christians who disrespected Dr Fauci were disgusting and despicable. If it weren’t for the infectious disease doctors who spent their whole life’s studying, we would not have safe drinking water, antibiotics, vaccines, medical care, and safe food handling etc. we’d be dying in plagues and epidemics. Those who refused the vax were so self righteous and arrogant when the only reason they could do that is because the rest of us submitted to a solution. The God thing is personal and those preaching that “He” cured their cancer give no credit to science and the dedicated hardworking people who work for years and years to learn & serve you.
If God can’t take care of Fletcher, nobody can! This little darling was put on this earth for a purpose, only she can accomplish! She’s already a strong warrior, so she’s here to do big things!! God works everything for good to those who believe & according to his purpose!! All Praise, Glory& Honor To God!! Our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ! Prayer is *POWERFUL* especially when it’s in the name of Jesus & we believe what we pray for, will be established. May God Bless This Family!!
I’m in Australia. My son had prenatal hydrocephalus, I was given the worst case scenario as well. An Absolutely devastating diagnosis. You couldn’t see his brain on the sonogram, his skull was full of Cerebral Spinal Fluid. He had his first shunt inserted at 7 days. His head was HUGE, he had sunset eyes just like your little girl. He is now 29, he was sick for quite a few years but he made it. He has Cervical Spina Bifida (he’s in a wheelchair) Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy, Hydrocephalus and is globally delayed but he is amazing! You can have a normal conversation with him, he has a job, friends and is living life! I’m so sorry they left your little girl without a shunt for so long. Her headaches must have been horrific!
I am a dominos employee in Forest Lake Minnesota. The moment you said St Jude’s and seeing how amazing your little miracle Fletcher is. It makes me proud to work for a company that supports and donates to St Jude’s. Thank you so very much for sharing Fletcher’s story I will definitely keep your family in my thoughts and prayers❤🫶🏻🌷🎠
Oh praise God, He’s the ultimate Doctor, and Healer!! What man deems impossible, God shows His power, and ALL things are possible with Him!! Thank you Jesus, for Your victory in this precious baby. She belongs to You, Lord, rain Your glory upon her ♥️🙏🏼♥️. Thank you for sharing her story, she’s beautiful!
My little girl has hydrocephalus and many other serious diagnosis. Our story has a lot of similarities to yours and i wanted to tell you that my girl is 13 now and shes a feisty girl too!! I still cry sometimes when i look back at everything and she says "its ok mum, i dont remember it and im ok" Sending lots of love from our family to yours. Shes absolutely beautiful ❤
As a nurse from all school, and as a mom. I have a lot of questions. Your are a Blessing Parents with a Beautiful girl. Thank you for sharing your experience 🎉💝💐🍼🙏
I love the way Fletcher looks at you. She looks at you and says, "thank you mommy and daddy, for fighting to help me get better and never giving up hope, so I can stay with you for however long God wants me to." With you as her parents, she'll always know love and security. Prayers for you all, your families and your community.
I cried through this whole video. Praise God!!!!! I'm so proud of everyone involved, especially little Fletcher, and her parents, and her doctor, and Saint Jude and staff, and their family and neighbors, and everyone!!!! This is proof positive of God and His healing power, and the power of prayer. I'm sitting here in my room at 4 am, just bawling. Scared tears, happy tears, tears of faith and love! Kisses and healing love to Fletcher and her parents! And unending love and faith to God!🕊
This gives me hope for my mother who's battling cancer and my son who's battling drug addiction. I will continue to pray no matter what. God bless your family!!!
A young man that I grew up around was born with hydrocephalus doctors gave him only a few years to live. He is in his early 30s. He has never walked but he is healthy. Happy and lived his life To the fullest. He has been a true miracle.
I think its just awful that the doctors did not put a shunt in right away to remove the fluid from this poor baby's head. The baby had unneeded suffering. Even if the baby has cancer, you can still limit the suffering. Poor angel. Bless this baby.
This gave me the chills and brought tears to my eyes my 8 yr old was born with a rare tumor and it ended up containing malignancy I didn’t even know it was possible to have a child born with cancer and no one can understand the ptsd that occurs but God gives you the strength you need to push through we didn’t know if he’d survive or walk but he made it through an 8hr surgery and survived! He has life long complications but he made it! You have a beautiful family!
@jasiablessing what a dumb response. It's easier to understand diseases being passed from mother to child. Wrapping your head around a baby being born with cancer is shocking and crazy to fathom.
🙏🙏❤ as a nurse I'm not sure how I feel about the doctors missing the tumor in first MRI and saying there's no healthy brain......BUT God does answer prayers!!!
I’m a retired nurse. I did home care for babies like this and ones on ventilators at home. I totally understand how you feel. They just looked at her and wrote her off. I had one little patient with trisomy 18. The parents were told they could take her home to die if that’s what they wanted. They added, you really don’t need to feed or do any other care, she will only last for a day or two at most. That little girl last I took care of her was 3yrs old and doing pretty good. The mother of course did not listen to the doctors and fed her baby. They also left the state within a couple of weeks to be closer to a decent children’s hospital, Riley in Indianapolis. Then I had a baby boy with HPE. Boys usually don’t make it to birth and if they do they usually only last for a day or two. When we brought this baby home, it had every ostomy there is, a trach, NG-tube then G-tube, colostomy, super pubic opening….. he had diabetes insipidus for sodium instead of Mellitus with glucose. But this child lived for 5yrs. The mother started HOPE for children with HPE. It has always amazed and angered me at just how cold some doctors can be. I do not understand how they didn’t see any issues during an ultrasound. Ultrasounds have become the norm with every pregnancy now. They should have seen the enlarged head at the usual 7month ultrasound. Plus they should have been able to see the baby’s brain too. I learned early on that if a doctor puts a time limit on a persons life, find another doctor. Every once in a while you will find a doctor/surgeon that doesn’t think they are God. A rare find, but they do exist.
If a loving god exists why would he be so cruel as to wait to answer prayers instead of preventing the problem in the first place? Put everyone through such torture, misery and heartache? Back when I still believed we prayed so hard for our son... and it did nothing, as for most of the pain and suffering in the world. People give praise to god when they perceive something positive, but ignore the negligence that allowed it to happen in the first place? If my earthly father acted like that I would have disowned him. It's all just random chance... we created god in our image to help make sense of the chaos and give us some sense of comfort, control and hope. It didn't help one iota in the end.
@@CharGC123 I'm sorry for the loss of your son. People often blame God and question why? How could he? While God is our heavenly father who sent his son Jesus to die on the cross to save us from our sins so that we may have eternal life, he also gave mankind free will. God does answer prayers but the answer may not be what we were praying for. Everything going on in this world is because of mankind. Mankind's hate. Greed. Desires that are evil. And Satan reigns in them. It is easy to blame God, who is all powerful. Why? How could you? Etc. But God is returning one day. Sooner than we think. We need to be ready if we want to spend eternity in Heaven. Believe it? Isn't it better to believe in something that's full of hope, security, etc, than believing in nothing? I say I have nothing in life to loose by believing in God and accepting Jesus as personal Lord and Savior. I loose nothing if at the end of my life I were to find out He doesn't exist. But if I don't believe, and at the end of my life I learn He does exists, I loose everything. You have to believe in something or you will fall for anything.
What do you mean, you’re not sure how you feel? You can’t possibly think any way except that to recognize that the doc(s) at John’s Hopkins did not give her optimal care. They didn’t get on the phone, to see what studies were underway that she could benefit from, and as another person here wrote, they just wrote her off. We’ve got two doctors and a nurse practitioner in our family but too many times I’ve seen situations where doctors just phone it in. The patient finds themselves having to push for new treatments as they deal with chronic cases with few or no treatments, or they to remind their doctor why the doc’s proposed treatment won’t work for them, based on prior experience. I don’t know how we got to this place but I find it unacceptable.
I saw that you were at LeBonheur Children's Hospital for surgery, which partners with St. Jude. LeBonheur has a nationally recognized neurosurgical program. I am a nurse at LeBonheur and I am so glad that everything worked out so well for you and your beautiful baby girl! I will keep you in my prayers for continued progress. St. Jude and LeBonheur work well as a team and have some of the best physicians and nurses in the country.
As a long time donor of St. Jude, this brought me such joy to know how you were helped by them. May Fletcher continue to grow and thrive. Thank you so much for sharing!
So relieved this baby survived so thankful God gave her life and he knew her when she was in moms womb He had a promise and a plan 4 her life!! Love this story !! So happy the parents r relying on God!!
I don’t know how I came across this video but it is exactly what I needed to see! You’re family is so beautiful! It’s so nice to see Fletcher thriving. I am 37 years old, and a first time single mom of a 7 month old. I bawled my eyes out while watching your story and holding my baby and thanking god. God definitely works miracles! Never lose faith. Fletcher is so lucky to have you both as her parents! 🫶🏼
Beautiful story thank you for sharing. My daughter passed away from cancer and my life, my heart, my soul misses her everyday. My angel is still teaching me lessons about love and letting go. Her dad and I have gotten closer to God and stronger in our marriage too. He is my rock during my darkest days. May you both share wonderful times and God does answer prayers.
The story emphasizes the Truth that you really can’t put all your trust in the “professional’s”. Never underestimate a mother and father’s intuition and the POWER of God to heal, be sovereign and use ALL things for GOOD! May the Lord bless and keep this little lamb of His!
What a beautiful little doll baby! Such a miracle in progress! Thank you, Lord, for Your mercy & grace on this precious family! Continued prayers as God leads you on this journey. Blessings!❤️🕊❤️🕊
Sadly you can't catch everything during a ultrasound, my son was born sick 26 years ago and they found things not right after birth Bless Fletcher beautiful little girl❤
@@EIREBABE one of my twins was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 6 mos of age. What was interesting was I went for an amnio to check for lung maturity so I could get induced. His results came back questionable. When they retested the sample they said his lungs weren't mature. At 37 weeks my water broke and when I delivered him he came out screaming. Fast forward 6 mos and it was a nephrologist that brought in a pediatric pulmonologist and I explained what was going on with him. Having been in nursing school I had read about cf but thought well we're black we don't have to worry about that. Boy was I wrong 🤦🏽♀️
Your story just popped up on my channel, I sat and cried, as my nephew who's 17 has just been diagnosed with a tumor in between his heart and lung. As a Christian the first thing I did was pray as there is so much power in prayer. Your little girl is absolutely beautiful and I hope she's doing well. I know it was God's way of telling me my nephew is going to be okay and he's got him. I pray God continues to keep his healing hands on Fletcher. God bless you and your family.🙏🩷🙏
God has certainly Blessed you with this little beautiful miracle!! I was so happy to hear that St Jude’s came into her journey. They are amazing and so is Fletcher!!
How, how...how could the initial doctors and hospitals miss this?!?! They sent that baby home to suffer and die when all along "they" MISSED THE MARK!!! God is good...HE IS AMAZING, HE IS GREAT BEYOND MEASURE!!!❤❤❤
@christinanevils3376 I have a mustard seed necklace that I wear to remind me that if your faith is as big as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. All things will be possible for you. Matthew 17:20-21.
Continued blessings for Fletcher Layne and for you, Stevee and Billy. May your faith, family, and friends support you as you give witness of God's love through the miracle of this beautiful child.
If this is not seen as a miracle, there are none! 💜 Prayers for God to continue healing your precious little Fletcher! 🙏 What a beautiful, strong warrior she is. 💖 And what amazing, faithful parents she has! ❤
I truly believe in St Jude and I am happy to donate on a monthly basis hoping to see miracles like Fletcher Layne. Thank you sharing. God bless you and your child. Keep believing!
I haven’t even gotten through the entire video and just burst into tears. God is so good!!! Praise His name!! Bless baby Fletcher, her amazing parents and supporters, God heard your prayers and made miracles happen. Baby Fletcher I have you on my heart beautiful girl, that you will do amazing things in this life!! God bless this family, truly wonderful story. ❤️🙏🥹
God is so good! He’s such a good good father! Praise His previous name I’m believing with you for this precious life Fletcher is a name very dear to my heart ❤️
I'm curious as to why this wasn't discovered in ultasound. With my babies, their heads were always measured during ultrasounds. Sweet baby Fletcher...she IS a miracle.
@@JessicaDaBestica the thing is, it’s VERY obvious from the ultrasound picture that was shared, that something wasn’t right. I was utterly shocked seeing that, and then hearing her mother say they were completely shocked when Fletcher was born.
Lord please Continue working ur miracles on this sweet girl. Please bring these parents continued faith and strength. We believe for complete miraculous healing. In Jesus mighty name. Amen.
Thank you for sharing your family’s story about how your precious little Fletcher Layne is triumphing over all of the odds that were first given to her. Hers is a story of hope, love, patience, and perseverance. She is an AMAZING baby girl and God has done miracles that were not thought possible, by human hands. I will continue to pray for this sweet baby girl, and her family. God bless all of you! Keep gaining your strength from HIM…He IS able!
AMAZING story!! What a beautiful baby, and awesome parents! It's just a shame she was initially sent home on hospice without more research being done by the original hospital to be 100% sure this was terminal. Bless you guys ❤❤
The pink bows throughout your community are so beautiful. Not just the color but how incredibly loving everyone is. Your little sweetheart is such a doll. What a beautiful blessing for amazing parents. I hope and pray that she is happy and content for her entire life. Your strength and faith is so inspiring.🎀
Thankyou Lord for your beautiful baby and answering prayers with so many loving, knowledgeable and skilled people around this family. Thankyou for making a way where there seemed to be no way. God bless you Fletcher ❤
Yes ! She is the light and she has shown people the lord is mighty just like her ! God bless you guys ! I have a son with microcephaly and was told he wouldn’t walk or talk.. BUT he is walking and talking. She is a beautiful miracle and I will be praying ❤❤❤❤❤
Awww... Little Fletcher is so stinking CUTE!!! You both are such strong parents. I wish the best for your beautiful little family ♥️ ❤️❤️ And I truly love St. Jude !!! So happy that they are helping you!
Glory hallelujah to the precious lamb of God !! Bless him with all my heart for sweet healing mercies , he's still on hos thrown and working miracles everyday ! I am so thankful he he is healing your beautiful baby girl !! 🙌🙌 please keep us updated
I agree with another person’s comment. She needed a shunt. That would have made her more comfortable and possibly help with her future. It’s just nuts they didn’t do the shunt in uteri or immediately afterwards. She’s a beautiful baby and I am so glad you have such a wonderful support system. Your faithfulness is what helps with your up and downs. St Jude’s is a blessing to so many children and their families and I’m so glad they were able to help.
I agree. I'm extremely thankful for St Jude and all that they've done for this baby but I also agree that she could have had a shunt right away and probably saved a lot of Heartache later on. I can't imagine that they didn't pick up on that during the ultrasound.
Being a resident of Memphis it's truly amazing how much the local ppl do to help St Jude! We did a motorcycle ride to raise funds for St Jude and Ronald McDonald House! We started at a location and ended at the Ronald McDonald house where we were brought in with a police escort and the children/families were all outside as we pulled in. Once everyone was there and off their bikes we were able to be scanned over by a nurse and temperatures taken we were able to go in to play with the children and just hang out spending time with them! The experience was amazing and just heartbreaking all at the same time especially being a genetic colon cancer patient! The little time we spent with them with all focus on them, it was a time frame for them to focus less on being sick and more focus on being a innocent child! Some were even allowed to come out and sit on our bikes! I've never seen so many grown men bawling their eyes out! I definitely recommend participating in it if you are a "biker" and close to the area!
@@luvlost03 God didn’t cause death, sickness, pain. Sin caused that and man chose to sin. I will pray for you that your heart will be open to the Holy Spirit. God causes the cures, through medication, doctors, and MIRACLES. Praise God for all He does, and doesn’t do.
@@luvlost03n the kindest meaning manner, please understand that is 100% backwards. God did NOT create disease , mankind , more correctly evil mankind did. In the last 2 years that should be so evident to all of us. I’m speaking from my faith but also as a Grandmother of a grandson diagnosed at 13 months with Type1 diabetes, to overcome that to be slammed with brain cancer at 4. He is a five year survivor and praise be to God. I have watched my son & dil go through too hell & back and grieved for my grandson while he was living as well… horrific & traumatic but…Trust me it has challenged my faith, wavered & weakened me, but never ever will Satan win . That’s satans goal.. he doesn’t get to take my faith too…NEVER! Hope it in a small way this highlights from another story that God is on our side.
This is why it's so important to advocate for your kid's and if you feel something isn't right, get a second opinion. Get a third if you have to. I can't believe the first doctor's didn't even try a shunt. Thank goodness for St.Jude. Fletcher is so lucky she has you 2 as her parents ❤.
What an amazing family... I am touched by your story and your strength. My nephew was a premie. He aquired hydrocephalus due to a brain bleed caused by a ventilator. He is now 40, and had 3 shunts. All I can come up with is that the doctors initially felt as if they would lose her during surgery. It was always a very long surgery for my nephew. God is good. He truly carries us when we can't help ourselves.
St Jude is an amazing place! They create hope for families that need it most. This is such a sweet, wonderful story. Fletcher is absolutely beautiful. You two are amazing parents. You both and baby Fletcher are in my prayers 🙏 ❤️
Children are the greatest gift, and when they come into the world with heartbreaking conditions they teach us to value life and to love so much more deeply. What a beautiful blessing and little miracle Fletcher is! May each little smile and milestone bring you strength and joy!
This is such an encouraging story. Thank you so much for sharing. May the Lord Jesus continue to heal, bless and protect your sweet family. Glory to God!
God Bless Fletcher and the two of you, for being outstanding parents who never gave up hope. When she looked at you for what felt like first time, I couldn’t contain my tears. I am so thankful to God that he has been keeping Fletcher safe and making sure she gets the help she needs. I will pray for her, and your family. Fletcher deserves the world, and she has the best parents/family/community to provide that to her. Thank you for sharing your story- it’s been emotional for me to watch but yet so heartwarming. All of my love to you ❤❤❤❤❤
That hospice nurse who mentioned St. Jude to you is an angel!
Amen! God bless that nurse, and God bless Fletcher and her parents. God is so Great. Thank you, Jesus!

This gave me the chills and brought tears to my eyes my 8 yr old was born with a rare tumor and it ended up containing malignancy I didn’t even know it was possible to have a child born with cancer and no one can understand the ptsd that occurs but God gives you the strength you need to push through we didn’t know if he’d survive or walk but he made it through an 8hr surgery and survived! He has life long complications but he made it! You have a beautiful family!
Children are born with aids and diabetes, what made you believe cancer wasn’t a option? It’s a shock. It’s isn’t typical for sure.
@@jasiablessingwhy be so rude smh
@jasiablessing what a dumb response. It's easier to understand diseases being passed from mother to child. Wrapping your head around a baby being born with cancer is shocking and crazy to fathom.
God bless both of you and your amazing daughter! You are incredible parents with a truly beautiful daughter! Prayers for all of you!
What a beautiful and precious gift Fletcher is to so many....may God continue to bless this sweet family
🙏🙏❤ as a nurse I'm not sure how I feel about the doctors missing the tumor in first MRI and saying there's no healthy brain......BUT God does answer prayers!!!
I’m a retired nurse. I did home care for babies like this and ones on ventilators at home. I totally understand how you feel. They just looked at her and wrote her off. I had one little patient with trisomy 18. The parents were told they could take her home to die if that’s what they wanted. They added, you really don’t need to feed or do any other care, she will only last for a day or two at most. That little girl last I took care of her was 3yrs old and doing pretty good. The mother of course did not listen to the doctors and fed her baby. They also left the state within a couple of weeks to be closer to a decent children’s hospital, Riley in Indianapolis.
Then I had a baby boy with HPE. Boys usually don’t make it to birth and if they do they usually only last for a day or two. When we brought this baby home, it had every ostomy there is, a trach, NG-tube then G-tube, colostomy, super pubic opening….. he had diabetes insipidus for sodium instead of Mellitus with glucose.
But this child lived for 5yrs. The mother started HOPE for children with HPE.
It has always amazed and angered me at just how cold some doctors can be. I do not understand how they didn’t see any issues during an ultrasound. Ultrasounds have become the norm with every pregnancy now. They should have seen the enlarged head at the usual 7month ultrasound. Plus they should have been able to see the baby’s brain too. I learned early on that if a doctor puts a time limit on a persons life, find another doctor. Every once in a while you will find a doctor/surgeon that doesn’t think they are God. A rare find, but they do exist.
Praying for you family and baby hv faith GOD CAN DO MIRACLE. WILL KEEP PRAYING. HUGS TO YOU BOTH
If a loving god exists why would he be so cruel as to wait to answer prayers instead of preventing the problem in the first place? Put everyone through such torture, misery and heartache? Back when I still believed we prayed so hard for our son... and it did nothing, as for most of the pain and suffering in the world. People give praise to god when they perceive something positive, but ignore the negligence that allowed it to happen in the first place? If my earthly father acted like that I would have disowned him. It's all just random chance... we created god in our image to help make sense of the chaos and give us some sense of comfort, control and hope. It didn't help one iota in the end.
@@CharGC123 I'm sorry for the loss of your son.
People often blame God and question why? How could he?
While God is our heavenly father who sent his son Jesus to die on the cross to save us from our sins so that we may have eternal life, he also gave mankind free will.
God does answer prayers but the answer may not be what we were praying for.
Everything going on in this world is because of mankind. Mankind's hate. Greed. Desires that are evil. And Satan reigns in them.
It is easy to blame God, who is all powerful. Why? How could you? Etc. But God is returning one day. Sooner than we think. We need to be ready if we want to spend eternity in Heaven.
Believe it? Isn't it better to believe in something that's full of hope, security, etc, than believing in nothing?
I say I have nothing in life to loose by believing in God and accepting Jesus as personal Lord and Savior. I loose nothing if at the end of my life I were to find out He doesn't exist. But if I don't believe, and at the end of my life I learn He does exists, I loose everything.
You have to believe in something or you will fall for anything.
What do you mean, you’re not sure how you feel? You can’t possibly think any way except that to recognize that the doc(s) at John’s Hopkins did not give her optimal care. They didn’t get on the phone, to see what studies were underway that she could benefit from, and as another person here wrote, they just wrote her off. We’ve got two doctors and a nurse practitioner in our family but too many times I’ve seen situations where doctors just phone it in. The patient finds themselves having to push for new treatments as they deal with chronic cases with few or no treatments, or they to remind their doctor why the doc’s proposed treatment won’t work for them, based on prior experience. I don’t know how we got to this place but I find it unacceptable.
I saw that you were at LeBonheur Children's Hospital for surgery, which partners with St. Jude. LeBonheur has a nationally recognized neurosurgical program. I am a nurse at LeBonheur and I am so glad that everything worked out so well for you and your beautiful baby girl! I will keep you in my prayers for continued progress. St. Jude and LeBonheur work well as a team and have some of the best physicians and nurses in the country.
Thank God for St. Jude and Danny Thomas for recognizing the need for specialized care for children. Power of prayer indeed
Her little smile melts me!!! ☺️💕
Beautiful- but the parents are so brave too. What an incredibly courageous and intelligent family.
As a long time donor of St. Jude, this brought me such joy to know how you were helped by them. May Fletcher continue to grow and thrive. Thank you so much for sharing!
So relieved this baby survived so thankful God gave her life and he knew her when she was in moms womb He had a promise and a plan 4 her life!! Love this story !! So happy the parents r relying on God!!
God bless Fletcher🙏🏻💗👶🏼
What an amazing story! Thank you Lord and continue to bless this family! Hugs from Argentina! Bless little Fletcher!!!!
I don’t know how I came across this video but it is exactly what I needed to see! You’re family is so beautiful! It’s so nice to see Fletcher thriving. I am 37 years old, and a first time single mom of a 7 month old. I bawled my eyes out while watching your story and holding my baby and thanking god. God definitely works miracles! Never lose faith. Fletcher is so lucky to have you both as her parents! 🫶🏼
So glad that these parents got a second opinion from St. Judes . Such an amazing story and beautiful baby 💜💜💜
God bless all your beautiful hearts 💕 💕🙏 I’m sending you all so much love always xxx
Beautiful story thank you for sharing. My daughter passed away from cancer and my life, my heart, my soul misses her everyday. My angel is still teaching me lessons about love and letting go. Her dad and I have gotten closer to God and stronger in our marriage too. He is my rock during my darkest days. May you both share wonderful times and God does answer prayers.
I'm so sorry for your loss. God bless you and your husband ♡
I'm so sorry for your loss 🙏🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
I'm so very sorry mama .....I'm sorry you have to endure this loss....God bless you
Thanks for sharing your story!
A beautiful miracle!!
We are neighbors just across the mountains.
The story emphasizes the Truth that you really can’t put all your trust in the “professional’s”. Never underestimate a mother and father’s intuition and the POWER of God to heal, be sovereign and use ALL things for GOOD! May the Lord bless and keep this little lamb of His!
What a beautiful little doll baby! Such a miracle in progress! Thank you, Lord, for Your mercy & grace on this precious family! Continued prayers as God leads you on this journey.
Blessings!❤️🕊❤️🕊
I don't understand why the doctor didn't catch this before she was born. She is a gorgeous baby; that has the best parents. ❤
I would have thought the ultrasounds would have caught it.
How would that have made a difference?
Sadly you can't catch everything during a ultrasound, my son was born sick 26 years ago and they found things not right after birth
Bless Fletcher beautiful little girl❤
@@EIREBABE one of my twins was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 6 mos of age. What was interesting was I went for an amnio to check for lung maturity so I could get induced. His results came back questionable. When they retested the sample they said his lungs weren't mature. At 37 weeks my water broke and when I delivered him he came out screaming. Fast forward 6 mos and it was a nephrologist that brought in a pediatric pulmonologist and I explained what was going on with him. Having been in nursing school I had read about cf but thought well we're black we don't have to worry about that. Boy was I wrong 🤦🏽♀️
@@_Y.Not_ It could have helped prepare them.
Your story just popped up on my channel, I sat and cried, as my nephew who's 17 has just been diagnosed with a tumor in between his heart and lung. As a Christian the first thing I did was pray as there is so much power in prayer. Your little girl is absolutely beautiful and I hope she's doing well. I know it was God's way of telling me my nephew is going to be okay and he's got him. I pray God continues to keep his healing hands on Fletcher. God bless you and your family.🙏🩷🙏
God has certainly Blessed you with this little beautiful miracle!! I was so happy to hear that St Jude’s came into her journey. They are amazing and so is Fletcher!!
How, how...how could the initial doctors and hospitals miss this?!?! They sent that baby home to suffer and die when all along "they" MISSED THE MARK!!! God is good...HE IS AMAZING, HE IS GREAT BEYOND MEASURE!!!❤❤❤
only takes the father of a mustard seed, along with many op praying for the best!
faith
@christinanevils3376 I have a mustard seed necklace that I wear to remind me that if your faith is as big as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. All things will be possible for you. Matthew 17:20-21.
Continued blessings for Fletcher Layne and for you, Stevee and Billy. May your faith, family, and friends support you as you give witness of God's love through the miracle of this beautiful child.
Thank you for sharing this video, Fletcher Layne's Story. It is one of hope and love, triumph over despair, and a healing beyond comprehension.
If this is not seen as a miracle, there are none! 💜 Prayers for God to continue healing your precious little Fletcher! 🙏 What a beautiful, strong warrior she is. 💖 And what amazing, faithful parents she has! ❤
What an amazing story! Fletcher Layne is a miracle. God bless your family and St. Jude!
Fletcher is an angel on earth! God bless you! 💕
I truly believe in St Jude and I am happy to donate on a monthly basis hoping to see miracles like Fletcher Layne. Thank you sharing. God bless you and your child. Keep believing!
What an awesome story! She is so precious!
I haven’t even gotten through the entire video and just burst into tears. God is so good!!! Praise His name!! Bless baby Fletcher, her amazing parents and supporters, God heard your prayers and made miracles happen. Baby Fletcher I have you on my heart beautiful girl, that you will do amazing things in this life!! God bless this family, truly wonderful story. ❤️🙏🥹

Praying for your sweet Fletcher Layne!🙏🏼 I’m so glad St. Jude intervened and gave her the chance to live. That’s truly amazing!🎀🎀🎀🎀
She is so precious!🥰 Glory be to God!🙏🏼
God is amazing as is Fletcher, you guys, hospice, St. Jude and prayer warriors! Fletcher is just beautiful!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
God is so good! He’s such a good good father! Praise His previous name I’m believing with you for this precious life Fletcher is a name very dear to my heart ❤️
I'm curious as to why this wasn't discovered in ultasound. With my babies, their heads were always measured during ultrasounds. Sweet baby Fletcher...she IS a miracle.
I immediately thought the same thing
Some people don’t have late ultrasounds and my daughter didn’t show issues with IUGR till 25 weeks
wondered this too
@@JessicaDaBestica the thing is, it’s VERY obvious from the ultrasound picture that was shared, that something wasn’t right. I was utterly shocked seeing that, and then hearing her mother say they were completely shocked when Fletcher was born.
@@chaparra71 I agree I thought the same thing
You two are so special so inspiring and Fletcher is a miracle. And you deserve it. 😘🤗🙏
Lord please Continue working ur miracles on this sweet girl. Please bring these parents continued faith and strength. We believe for complete miraculous healing. In Jesus mighty name. Amen.
AMEN!!?
Amen!
Amen ❤
Amen
Why did Jesus or god give this baby these afflictions in the first place?
Fletcher is truly a miracle. Sending prayers to your family! 🙏🏼
What an adorable soul. Her personality is infectious.❤
Thank you for sharing your family’s story about how your precious little Fletcher Layne is triumphing over all of the odds that were first given to her. Hers is a story of hope, love, patience, and perseverance. She is an AMAZING baby girl and God has done miracles that were not thought possible, by human hands. I will continue to pray for this sweet baby girl, and her family. God bless all of you! Keep gaining your strength from HIM…He IS able!
Amen 🙏
AMAZING story!! What a beautiful baby, and awesome parents! It's just a shame she was initially sent home on hospice without more research being done by the original hospital to be 100% sure this was terminal. Bless you guys ❤❤
The power of Prayer!!!!
The pink bows throughout your community are so beautiful. Not just the color but how incredibly loving everyone is. Your little sweetheart is such a doll. What a beautiful blessing for amazing parents. I hope and pray that she is happy and content for her entire life. Your strength and faith is so inspiring.🎀
I have never seen anything like this! So much love!!!
Thankyou Lord for your beautiful baby and answering prayers with so many loving, knowledgeable and skilled people around this family. Thankyou for making a way where there seemed to be no way. God bless you Fletcher ❤
I love seeing her wiggling and smiling! Thankful for the treatment and results - Go Fletcher Layne!!
Yes ! She is the light and she has shown people the lord is mighty just like her ! God bless you guys ! I have a son with microcephaly and was told he wouldn’t walk or talk.. BUT he is walking and talking. She is a beautiful miracle and I will be praying ❤❤❤❤❤
We are wonderfully made…soon God will cure all disease and death associated with the effects of Adamic sin..Revelation 21:3,4
They seem like amazing people ❤️ I hope this sweet baby keeps healing everyday!
AMAZING Grace, Amazing Fletcher. AMEN.!!! PRAISE the LORD
She’s precious! There is nothing our God can’t do♥️🙌🏻 May the Lord God bless y’all and that precious baby!
Fletcher is a Miracle 🙏🏻♥️ She’s in my prayers along with her mommy & daddy ❤❤❤
Mine also Shelley ❤️
🙏🏻 💗👶🏼
Awww... Little Fletcher is so stinking CUTE!!! You both are such strong parents. I wish the best for your beautiful little family ♥️ ❤️❤️ And I truly love St. Jude !!! So happy that they are helping you!
Glory hallelujah to the precious lamb of God !! Bless him with all my heart for sweet healing mercies , he's still on hos thrown and working miracles everyday ! I am so thankful he he is healing your beautiful baby girl !! 🙌🙌 please keep us updated
I agree with another person’s comment. She needed a shunt. That would have made her more comfortable and possibly help with her future. It’s just nuts they didn’t do the shunt in uteri or immediately afterwards. She’s a beautiful baby and I am so glad you have such a wonderful support system. Your faithfulness is what helps with your up and downs. St Jude’s is a blessing to so many children and their families and I’m so glad they were able to help.
I agree. I'm extremely thankful for St Jude and all that they've done for this baby but I also agree that she could have had a shunt right away and probably saved a lot of Heartache later on. I can't imagine that they didn't pick up on that during the ultrasound.
Your daughter is beautiful, I can't believe there is no other hospital that could help. Thank God for St Jude, also to Danny Thomas.
Thank the people who actually helped you at st Jude not God, isn't he the one that creates all the sick babies?
@@luvlost03 ill pray for you
Being a resident of Memphis it's truly amazing how much the local ppl do to help St Jude! We did a motorcycle ride to raise funds for St Jude and Ronald McDonald House! We started at a location and ended at the Ronald McDonald house where we were brought in with a police escort and the children/families were all outside as we pulled in. Once everyone was there and off their bikes we were able to be scanned over by a nurse and temperatures taken we were able to go in to play with the children and just hang out spending time with them! The experience was amazing and just heartbreaking all at the same time especially being a genetic colon cancer patient! The little time we spent with them with all focus on them, it was a time frame for them to focus less on being sick and more focus on being a innocent child! Some were even allowed to come out and sit on our bikes! I've never seen so many grown men bawling their eyes out! I definitely recommend participating in it if you are a "biker" and close to the area!
@@luvlost03 God didn’t cause death, sickness, pain. Sin caused that and man chose to sin. I will pray for you that your heart will be open to the Holy Spirit. God causes the cures, through medication, doctors, and MIRACLES. Praise God for all He does, and doesn’t do.
@@luvlost03n the kindest meaning manner, please understand that is 100% backwards. God did NOT create disease , mankind , more correctly evil mankind did. In the last 2 years that should be so evident to all of us. I’m speaking from my faith but also as a Grandmother of a grandson diagnosed at 13 months with Type1 diabetes, to overcome that to be slammed with brain cancer at 4. He is a five year survivor and praise be to God. I have watched my son & dil go through too hell & back and grieved for my grandson while he was living as well… horrific & traumatic but…Trust me it has challenged my faith, wavered & weakened me, but never ever will Satan win . That’s satans goal.. he doesn’t get to take my faith too…NEVER!
Hope it in a small way this highlights from another story that God is on our side.
THANK YOU GOD! Amazing story, may your story help others family's with this. Best Mum and Dad ever!
❤ What a most precious beautiful little Fletcher! Incredible miracle gift from Almighty God! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is why it's so important to advocate for your kid's and if you feel something isn't right, get a second opinion. Get a third if you have to. I can't believe the first doctor's didn't even try a shunt. Thank goodness for St.Jude. Fletcher is so lucky she has you 2 as her parents ❤.
All the Praise to You Lord!! Thank you for Fletcher! ❤ Prayers that she makes a full recovery
What an amazing family... I am touched by your story and your strength. My nephew was a premie. He aquired hydrocephalus due to a brain bleed caused by a ventilator. He is now 40, and had 3 shunts. All I can come up with is that the doctors initially felt as if they would lose her during surgery. It was always a very long surgery for my nephew. God is good. He truly carries us when we can't help ourselves.
I am happy she is ok because she is apart of my family Stevee and billy are grate parents and Fletcher actually has a new sister, Heidey
Amen for parents who actually love their baby enough to make her a DNR and take her home on hospice. Amen for yall!
That beautiful baby girl is truly blessed to have you as her parents!! ❤😊
Wow! what an amazing story of Fletcher and what amazing parents. May the Lord continue to bless you all.
St Jude is an amazing place! They create hope for families that need it most. This is such a sweet, wonderful story. Fletcher is absolutely beautiful. You two are amazing parents. You both and baby Fletcher are in my prayers 🙏 ❤️
:❤:
Fletcher is blessed by beautiful loving parents. And St Jude just amazing people who care so much. Love to u all
❤❤❤
Children are the greatest gift, and when they come into the world with heartbreaking conditions they teach us to value life and to love so much more deeply.
What a beautiful blessing and little miracle Fletcher is! May each little smile and milestone bring you strength and joy!
What a precious story!! Thank God for answering prayers.
This is such an encouraging story. Thank you so much for sharing. May the Lord Jesus continue to heal, bless and protect your sweet family. Glory to God!
God Bless Fletcher and the two of you, for being outstanding parents who never gave up hope. When she looked at you for what felt like first time, I couldn’t contain my tears. I am so thankful to God that he has been keeping Fletcher safe and making sure she gets the help she needs. I will pray for her, and your family. Fletcher deserves the world, and she has the best parents/family/community to provide that to her. Thank you for sharing your story- it’s been emotional for me to watch but yet so heartwarming. All of my love to you ❤❤❤❤❤
