Hi everyone, I want to thank you all for all the encouragements and kind words. I'm sorry I haven't addressed many questions and concerns. For a while, I told myself I would make a new video with an update. I recorded a video this past week with my webcam, but I haven't edited it yet. I have been meaning to, but I have been too busy. I just finished up my finals for my final semester of my bachelors in electrical engineering from ASU. I will try to make an update video after I get back from graduation in Arizona!
Hi, thanks for the video, your positivity and hope is beyond inspiring. I had a quick question about your ventilator. How is it that you are able to speak while actively receiving ventilations? I have never seen this before, very cool. Thanks!
I wish I could get to know you personally you seem like a genuine great person thanks for sharing your story what a battle to go through at such a young age 🥰
I met your Aunt the other day and she told me about your story. You are a handsome young brave man, never give up! You have the best parents...and family.
My oldest brother was paralyzed from the neck down after a tragic car accident when he was 16. He was the passenger in his best friend’s vehicle who was also 16, on their way home from football practice like any other night. A car ran a two way stop sign and struck my brother and his friend, who unfortunately lost his life and my brother lost use of his body. You have a heart of gold and a true warrior spirit, as my brother does. It does take a village and those of us with beautiful families are so blessed. You are amazing, you should write a book! ❤😊 I also have a big family, we are LDS. So many similarities, my brother struggles with spasms as well. I am so happy to see people like you who are radiant examples to all of us. 😊
@@markb1487 That is very kind of you, thank you. I always view paralysis as up there as one of the worst experiences someone can go through physically, but the spirit can be so resilient. I don’t think I would be anywhere near as graceful as my brother or this young man in this video. They are simply the best of the best! ♥️
That is so heartbreaking, for mom and dad , you can hear the sadness and the love from them, and how unfair for him, what a way to become disabled , playing volleyball and bammmm you never move your body again , prayers for a beautiful happy rest of your lives .
Hello David You speak eloquently about yourself and your life. You are an inspiration for all who see this video. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Your family and friends are devoted to you. The energy of their love and faithfulness comes through loud and clear in this video and in all the photos posted. Thank you for reminding me that our God is a God of love and healing. Not only physical healing, but healing of our mind and heart. God bless you 🙏
I really admire your faith, perseverance, and mental strength as you fight to finish school and live as normal a life as possible! God bless your parents and may God choose to heal you partially or completely! So glad I stumbled upon your channel
Hallelujah, you popped up in my feed . God is amazing. You waited patiently. You did not lose faith. You now is stronger than you before. Lord in Heaven if it is your will , please make David’s body whole again, please send your healing Holy Spirit into David and heal him from within, through all the spinal cord damage and into every cell of David’s body . In Jesus name ,I pray . I am but your humble servant.
“True love, give up their wants for your needs”. So true, and I am thankful you have those people in your life! My prayers are with you and your family. God be with you!✌️💕
I just went through a bone marrow transplant for a rare blood cancer, and I thought I had it pretty tough. This brought tears to my eyes… you are so inspiring.. I’m sorry you have this difficult journey to go through in life; you do it with grace, courage and obviously a family who loves you very much. Thank you for sharing ❤
Yes, but we can't expect everyone to accept this situation. I feel we are lowering the bar so low no one will allowed to be able to transition out of this life. This is an incredably optimistic guy, off the charts. If people enjoy their lives, sure help them with these great inventions. But I hope the culture isn't going to push us all to choose this option.
@@Christina-sf4py I don’t think I said I was Christian there is no prohibition against suicide in the Bible. In fact King Saul and Sampson did among others. And what about Jesus, did he not sacrifice his life? King Saul was not condemned for it, so why should others be?
Great Testimony and as a man of God your healing will be manifested in righteousness first. I pray for your healing and physical strength to endure. God Bless.
David, thank you so much for sharing your story to the world. No matter how cliche it might sound-you are truly an inspiration. Your mindset embodies the true values of being a patient, God-fearing believer, and a man of faith & hope. I admire you greatly, and wish you the very best always. And just remember: God puts us all through different tests & trials in this short life. And I believe that the more He loves a person and knows them to be strong, the greater He tests them. You have no doubt been given a tremendous test-and I pray that God uses it to reward you and give you double in return, just as He did with His servant Job. Like him, you are a true role model to those around you and who will come after you. Please keep up the positive attitude, and never falter in your faith in God. He is in control, and He will provide. And I pray that He blesses your parents abundantly, who have also been tested with strength & sacrifice to see you go through all of this. As you beautifully said-if healing is the will of God, He will do so. So let us never worry about things out of our control, and always put our trust in God Almighty-the One who created us in the first place, and the One to whom we will ultimately return. Life is so incredibly short, so let us all learn to overcome our struggles-whether physical, mental, emotional, or otherwise-and strive to serve God and do good in the world, just as we have been charged with. This is what all the prophets taught; and it is our ultimate purpose in life. May God bless you, and bless others through you. And may He grant us the best in this life and the next, and keep us strong and loyal for His sake and glory. Peace be with you :) ~ your Muslim friend • *_”Every soul shall taste death. And We test you with times of both prosperity and hardship. And to Us you shall finally return.”_* ~ The Qur’an, 21:35 { ruclips.net/video/u4vyHNSbfzM/видео.html }
You really have wonderful parents.Im glad you also have the support of your church and friends.God owns the cattle on a thousand hills so nothing is impossible for Him.He heals the broken hearted may your life be an inspiration to others .May they see and believe God and come to know Him and be saved.by repentance.God is doing a work through you.May you contine to be encouraged by Our Heavenly Father
What an inspiration you are David. Not just to myself. But everyone whom knows you and those you have shared your quad journey with. You blew me away that you haven't given up on your Engineering degree. Never give up on your hope and faith in God. What a Blessing to have a beautiful caring family and special friends to support you and love you. I 'll add you to my prayer list. Bless you.❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🧑🦼🙇♀️
Bless you David. I see this video is over two years old now so am truly hoping you have seen improvements in your condition. With your obvious strength of character, faith and the love of family and friends, you have so much going for you to see changes for the better. Take care. ❤
Hi David, your story touched my heart Anna soul. And you are truly an inspiration. I am from the UK but would really love to be able to write to you, maybe like apenpal . It's great to see there is actually still genuine person in the world
Life is so unpredictable. We get thrown things at that we never expect for a million years. I got diagnosed with MS and I know its not nearly as bad but it's a shock to the soul, to the family. We learn to make peace with it and enjoy life with what we have. I'm not spiritual at all. But I try to accept what I cannot change. Having people that you love around is probably as precious as having an able body. Luckily we live in an era that there is more and more technology that help with mobility and adaptability. I know you will be OK and even more than that! Kudos to mom and dad for their strength and sacrifices. Exemplary family ❤❤❤
You are so right! “ True love is sacrifice “. Your parents are awesome, and YOU are awesome, too. God is using you , young man. You have a thorn , as the apostle Paul did, and Paul fulfilled all God wanted him to, and so will you! ❤ Our value is not in our health, money, talent, or physical beauty, but in Christ. He is using you mightily.
That is so horiffic how this happened to him its shocking to think even very very rarely something so normal like turning your head can paralise you it makes you wonder what caused this to happen , his parents are so dedicated , it must be devstating for your son to be fit and active and suddenly in a matter of a few seconds , life chsnged for ever hope him and his parents continue to have hope
It just goes to show, life can change in an instant. One minute you're fine the next you're sick, i'm going through it right now, it's my storm the lord has let me go through for his glory. Never take one moment for granted, god can use your sickness for his will. "There will be a day with no more tears no more fears, we'll see Jesus face to face"
@@kathleenmoore9534 Have faith in God Almighty alone-Christ’s Lord and our Lord ❤ *_”The MOST important commandment,” Jesus declared, “is THIS: ‘Hear O Israel! The Lord our God, the Lord is ONE!’”_* _(Mark 12:29)_
You are fantastic . I'm m sure youve had many bad days but ,in life you can either be a victim or a survivor - you chose the latter .I applaud you & the fantastic people who love and support you
I had a friend who broke her neck in a car wreck when she was 15. She was left a quadriplegic. She graduated from college, drove, and was about the smartest woman I've ever known. She had some limited use of her arms and hands. We lost her in 2019 at 67 to bone cancer. She was a wonderful person. I miss her dearly.
Congratulations on your graduation! You are a true inspiration to everyone, I'll or not I'll. Your grace, faith and thankfulness is remarkable. God bless you and your family. Wishing you many dreams come true and blessings
It's truly remarkable to witness such strength within a beautiful soul. Despite challenges, both the body and mind remain resilient, as the mind is the most potent gift from our creator. Looking forward, there's hope in advancements like Elon Musk's Neuralink, envisioning a future where someone like David can break free from physical limitations, like the concept in the movie "Ghost in the Shell." This could offer liberation when the body no longer responds, ensuring that the essence of the soul endures beyond the confines of the physical self.
Everyday we read kids being beaten, abused and seeing the love your parents show you and the dedications....you're lucky bro and don't worry stephen hawkins was a legend too...but i have faith things we look better for you whatever it may be in health and wealth.

What an inspirational and beautiful human being!
I truly agree that he is. But can everyone do that or is that just his make-up?
Mate you are seriously impressive. Just unbelievably inspirational.
