I'm so glad you've recovered. My sister couldn't get out of cardiac arrest and died Guillain-Barré Syndrome the age of 20. I send you a hug and many blessings from Guadalajara, Mexico.
I feel like awful for every saying anything bad about life, watching this videos makes me realize how much worse I could have it and to thank god for letting me be healthy and happy and be able to sleep in a bed in a nice home
I have never been happier for a total stranger in my life! Thank you so much for sharing your experience....especially the progress you made! So, so, so happy for you and your family! Don't ever stop sharing your story...you are an inspiration!
I'm speechless!!!!! This is one of the most important thing I've seen in my life. The power of the human spirit,the power of faith,the power of family,the power of love!!!!!
Very encouraging, I am sharing this story with my daughter who is quadriplegic due to a car accident 12yrs.ago her name is Sandra Velo.im her mother Maryann.
Thank you for posting this. I was diagnosed with GBS in December after suddenly having profound weakness in my legs and then losing my ability to walk. I was transferred to a bigger teaching hospital where I was told I was in critical condition. I now can walk short distances with a walker and start outpatient therapy next week. I’m optimistic that one day I’ll be back to my old self!
I’m walking without any assistive devices, can drive and climb a few stairs. My walk still looks like a toddler because I had tendon contractures after being unable to love my legs and feet. Still in Pat and have definitely seen progress. It’s a long road.
I cried to see what this young man had to go threw to survive. Such hard work. Was so happy to see Andrew finally fully recover!! What a blessing!! Thank God above!! Amen!!!
@@keelinmorris2115 Good morning and thanks for asking. I am still in physical and occupational therapy, but I'm honestly not getting any better. The GBS is travelling up my body and is now midway of my thighs. I just know that really soon...I'll be on a ventilator if it keeps going up!!! Please keep me in your prayers.
LINDA Burnette >>> Yeah, God was like “I was gonna just let this guy die, as you do. But then I listened to all those prayers and you’all will never guess, I changed my mind. Of course, I knew I would, ‘cause I knew all those people would say those prayers that made me change my mind. They couldn’t NOT pray because I knew that they WOULD pray. If for some bizarre reason some of them thought “Sod it. I’m not gonna pray.” They would have found themselves praying against their will, because if they didn’t I wouldn’t have changed my mind and the guy would have died because that’s what I wanted all along. Except I didn’t- see explanation above. Seriously folks, can’t you see that this weird, illogical thinking makes no sense, because if it did it would mean that you had no free will and that everyone’s destiny has been pre-ordained since the beginning of time. Anyway, Andrew was an incredibly brave and courageous person, also astonishingly good looking to boot.
andrew I am a 11 year old girl and to see this it made me cry and just say there is surtin people in this world that are just ment to be and u are one of those people I have never seen such a inspirational story u just changed my life stay, with god and everything will be ok u are my inspiration for life and I will never ever forget about u and your story GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH , AN EVER PRESENT HELP IN TROUBLE PSALMS 46:1
Giuliano barre is listed on vaccine inserts as a possible complication of vaccines. So I was wondering if it was possibly a vaccination that caused this?
Just when I was complaining about small things in life, I watch your story and realize that they're nothing compared to what you went through. You are truly an inspiration and I'm very happy that you got better.
I have been questioning my faith over the last couple of years. Many losses. Out of somewhere this video pops up. In my face! Three words...faith restored...humbled.
Tears in my eyes when i watched your battle against this disease. You are brave & hero. This video has taken me back 12 years ago when I diagnosed with GBS ,it was very difficult time, My thoughts & prayers with those who currently affected with GBS. God bless you.
I just saw it for the first time right now, but I promise you that the next time I feel the urge to feel sorry for myself or/and complain, I will watch it again or at least remember such courage, valor, discipline, endurance, love and determination. May GOD bless y'all beautiful people always and in all ways❣🙏
@@edwinleach7401 ...many years ago, about 30, I also was in hospital with pulmonary blood clots. My faithful fellow Christian sisters drove 60+ miles to come and lay hands on me and pray. Doctors were astounded the next day when the blood clots were gone.
How terrible is it that an insurance company gets to dictate who your doctor is even when he is not helping or even trying. I am so glad you have recovered
I am on medicaid, and people say I shouldn't complain because it's free. Well crap, I've had some horrible doctors. I have refractory epilepsy, and all my neurologists said it was my mental illness. After 20 years of hit or miss, crap neurologists I have an amazing neurologist. She understood, knew it wasn't my mental illness. When my medication didn't work she helped me get an implant, and now I'm seizure free.
@@rachelmartin3631 first off that is so AWESOME that you finally got someone who cares about people, who HEARS YOU, and helped you . I am in Canada where shitty doctors are as well and when you get one it is so harmful. I pretty much was born with a headache...my dr for years said she is faking it, and if she isn't she will just have to live with it. Which had my mom/family believing him. After i had children a chiropractor sent me to a neurologist who told me my pain centre in brain is misfiring and gave me a pill which gave me my life back. No matter who you are, poor rich homeless or live in mansion WE ALL DESERVE EQUAL HEALTH CARE COVERED BY TAX DOLLARS.
I am absolutely shocked by the insurance company/companies. As a European /sure we do have private hospitals special insurances/ but the treatments and hospital treatments are free so we do not have to worry about it./lived in Austria, Hungary, but settled back to my beloved home, Ireland/
Unfortunately it happens. My daughter is a PA-C. Works in a wound clinic, has a patient with a severe ulcer down and into the bone. He’s about to lose his foot to amputation, she has ordered high IV of antibiotics but the place he’s staying at will not let anyone come in do administer his meds. And they won’t let him use transport bring him in to hospital for IV. Haven’t heard today she was fight with insurance to get this medication to save his foot. Crazy
Well, there's nothing like a 30 minute cry to get things in perspective!!! God bless you Andrew! Your story has really blessed us! 😊 So many tears of sadness followed by so many tears of joy!!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful story!
Thank you God for giving this brave young man the strength to fight for his life. I cried at what he had to endure. I applaud him for never giving up and having the perseverance to keep fighting. God Bless you Andrew.
My cousin went to the shepherd center after he was paralyzed from a drunk driver. It was such a good place. They taught him how to drive, swim and anything you could imagine. He lives a normal life as he can.
So happy that you recovered! I hope you had that wedding and you are happy and healthy now, and never have to deal with this disease, EVER again, in your life!! 🙏❤️
My husband woke up paralyzed one morning. He was rushed to the hospital where he was in the ICU for a month & rehabilitation for 2 more months. He was diagnosed with GBS also. It was the scariest experience of our lives. Your a fighter Andrew 💪 great job my friend
Every picture, every song, every explanation, it’s not just compelling but it’s incredibly overwhelming. It’s a true testament that our trials are overshadowed by Gods purposes and He will not fail. Pastoring for 40 years and watching many hard places I remained resolved God remains Sovereign....Blessings to your Sweet Mom..that’s truly what Moms love looks like. ❤️ hope your testimony keeps recurring. I don’t know you but know the God you serve...Blessings, Pastor REGINA BLOUNT
Rablount-- Amen, to that!!🙏 GOD Does, Make Miracles happen, and Andrew, IS Proof.🙏💙 This Situation, was Sad to watch, and I Could NOT Imagine, the Horrible Pain, that Andrew Suffered, and Went through!!😢🙏😢😢 GBS, is a Horrible, Debilitating Disease, that no one should be Put through!!

GBS in 2011. Just watching you go through what you went through reminded me of the time I spent in the hospital and then nursing home. I'm so happy for you hun. May the Lord bring you happiness and blessings throughout the rest of your healing. God bless you and your family
@@jonchicoine I hate to tell u this but Jesus is never wrong,that’s why he said my ways and thoughts,are not the same as yours,I thank god I’m alive n able to move n workout but the lesson I learned with tears in my eyes was seeing my mom 78yrs old spend the night at Hosp,taking turns with my wife who was there literally 15hrs a day this GBS thought me to take great care of those two wonderful woman god changed me I’m more giving n patient with my kids n grandkids in fact I consider it an insult to god,to question why,trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on you own understanding Prove:3-5
Learning to RUclips-- Amen to that!! I Agree. A Big Huge "Thank-You", does go out to the Medical Teams, that Helped Andrew Fully Recover!! A+ For Effort, Assistance, & Crucial Help, for Andrew getting through this!! Thank-You, & All the Praises & Glory to GOD, for Making a Miracle Happen, through Andrew's Faith, Love & Hope, to Fully Recover, & get back to a Full, Normal Life!🙏🙏🙏💙💛😉😊😃😄👏
My Mama broke her hip a week ago yesterday. She is in rehab. I showed her this video. We were both Sqwaling! You have inspired a little old Lady to get off her ass and to moving. Thanks for sharing your story Son! It is inspiring Ole Miss fans you will probably never meet.
Can you share your story with me? I'm a nurse who cared for someone who had this illness. He died last year. This illness has no cure and it's always progressing, so if your son has been cured, it's a miracle

My husband had GBS in 1968. Many of the things that others have comment on were just what he went through. It was a very frightening experience that he went through. He did make a complete recovering. He was the first known case of GBS in Santa Cruz County. After that Drs would call on him to visit others that had GBS to try and encourage them. We celebrated our first Wedding Anniversary while he was in the hospital recovering. Praise God he survived the sickness. They did not give us much hope. They have new ways now of treating GBS, things they didn't know of then.
Or you know God could of stopped it before it even happened? Just saying his recovery wasn't God it was his willpower and strength paired with the amazing actions of skilled doctor's and nurses.
My dear friend Andrew, just goes too show what faith and love can do, yes it can move mountains. Gods love for you and your faith and determination, strength of your spirit forged ahead. Let love and light always protect you and your loved ones now and forever more. With love and thanks for sharing your life’s journey with us. Rev. Virginia Stevens. ✝️✝️🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are an amazing man; strong, invincible and smart. I went through a medical hardship from a surgery temporary loss of memory and speech, and my career. I know how hard you've struggled. Thank God you have a fabulous family who love you. Welcome back!!! You deserve all good things life has to offer!
Wow Thank you for making me see how ungrateful and selfish I am as a human being. You are truly a child of God. May he continue to watch over and bless you as well as your loved ones. Thank you and I send you love and happiness.
In 2009 I was 7 weeks pregnant I'm diagnosed with GBS I was the only known case to have it during my first trimester three months in the hospital I'm 5 weeks and rehab I walked out of the hospital me and the baby are happy and healthy now in 2020 my little girl is almost ten and is doing great I think the Lord everyday for bringing us through it
My daughter also had GBS in the first trimester. This was 2003. Doctors advised her to terminate the pregnancy. She did not Cierra is now 20 years old.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am a nursing student and I stumbled on this video. I started crying at 3 minutes and didn't stop until the end. You are the reason I am going to be a nurse, to make a difference. I'm looking foward to sharing your story with others in school. I have recently went though a hard time and it almost seems silly now. You really are my hero. And congrats on the engagment, you two make a lovely couple.
If Gbs came after a flu shot we are able to collect compensation from the US government through the vaccine court. Please pass it on. Good luck! Hang in there.
Without a doubt this is the most inspirational story I’ve ever seen. Andrew you are a real life Super Hero. I am blown away by your Courage. Much love ❤️ to you brother. You have an amazing family and your story is unforgettable. God bless.
It was very hard to watch Todd. Just by chance it popped up on my screen. Wonderful girlfriend. Through thick and thin. That was also a part of his therapy even though he was strong at heart.
Andrew, you are so strong an an inspiration to so many people who have battles themselves. What struck me most about this video was your beautiful smile! Even on your darkest days I saw a smile, and when you couldn't with your mouth, I saw it in your eyes. You are truly a blessing to your family and them to you. I'm so happy for your miraculous recovery.
I was a professional race car driver and was in a life changing crash. I broke my neck, back, 8 other bones, and sub stained a head injury. I teared up watching your story. I was not cleared to return to racing because of my head injury, but I will near complain again.Your story is absolutely an amazing miracle and I'm sure you're an amazing thank you so much for sharing your story, God bless your you man and your awesome family.
I stumbled across this video by accident. As a middle-aged man going through some health problems including two heart attacks, two days apart, I was feeling sorry for myself quite often and fell into a deep depression. I have no family, so have gotten through by myself. After seeing what you've been through, and how fast and wonderful you came through, you are truly an inspiration! God bless you and your family. You're a testament of how the support of loved ones can help with recovery. Congratulations on your engagement and nothing but the best for you and your future!
Lonnie Cox-- I Seriously Hope, & Pray, that things DO Get better, for You, and GOD Helps You, along the Way!! 🙏🙏😉 God does Miracles, and IS A Miraculous Healer!! May the Power of Healing, Strength & Grace, be with You!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏😃😄 Good Luck, with Life's Endeavors!!🙏🙏🙏😊😃😄
Andrew my heart broke 💔 for everything you went through. GOD was with you and Jesus healed you. Jesus healed my son of leukaemia he was given 3 months to live 18 year's ago. Andrew you have a beautiful smile and a wonderful family I'm happy your girlfriend said yes. ❤ God bless you abundantly AMEN and Hallelujah. 🙏🏻✝️♥️
I had GBS almost ten years ago. I didnt have any symptoms one day suddenly i couldnt walk and rushed to the hospital. I was paralyzed from the waist down but also couldnt feel my hands either. I was in a coma for 3 days and stayed in the ICU for about a week and 3 months in the hospital. After 6 months later i was able to crawl and stand on my own. Now im fully recovered but i have things that im not able to do. I cannot thank my family and my doctors that helped me through these difficult and horrible times. Im glad that you are okay now :)
thank you for sharing this. Its astonishing how many people have dealt with this and how most know nothing about it! did they ever say what they think spurred it on for you?
Bless you for your recovery. You are so correct when you say that is a family illness . We had a family friend who had it and it was horrifying to watch what they went through .
Beautiful love story! I saw love and God's amazing power in every segment of your story, Andrew. It was a wonderful testament to your strength and faith. You should write a book about this chapter of your life. God bless you, your fiancée/wife, family, and all those who helped in your recovery. ❤🙏
God bless you. I had GBS when I was a year old . My dad was in the Army and transferred to Fort Campbell Kentucky army base, we left behind hIm driving from California to Kentucky , my mom said I was fine at first, then I got sick very high temp. 104 and I was screaming in pain..I broke out in a rash. I wouldn't eat. She took me to the Army hospital they did 5 spinal taps was told that I have GBS now this was 60 years ago when GBS was so new most Doctors even knew about it. But I got a great pediatric neurologist I had a trike and was completely paralyzed neck down; But with in a year I stated to move my finger. By the next 6 months I was was learning to walk my mom said I was just beginning to walk when I got sick. I was in the hospital for 1 1/2 yrs. By the good Lord I got better. I'm in the medical journals of being one of the first baby to get GBS. I had to wear special shoes and braces when I went to school, by the time I went to JHS I didn't need any more braces or specially shoes. All this was told to me by my parents and family. I went to USC and graduated with a nursing degree BSN I work for 33 yrs and I did my thesis on GBS. I believe that our good Lord heals in a special way, God bless you always XOXO
wow wow wow. Andrew you story is truly incredible. You literally were close to dying and then you fought you way back and won. I am so happy for you. I am so glad you found a partner to share your life with.
This is incredible. Wow Andrew and the family, you guys just shine. The first song says so much “if I tell you my story…it’s to tell of Him.” I see that! So beautiful. Thank you.
I was diagnosed with GBS on August 30th, 2016 and now I am happy to report that I am back in action as a professional ballet dancer. The path of diagnosis, care and rehab were challenging, but (as you well know) it is worlds better with family and friend by your side. May God bless you.
What an inspiration. I'm dealing with severe multiple sclerosis and contemplated suicide for a while, now I'm starting to be positive again and Andrew 's story really shook me. Thank you! 🤗💖🙏
You have the right to quit, but you are better than that. Keep fighting, miracles do happen and the people around you need you , so ask for help in need and be determined to go on because all your stories are what makes this world a Wonderful World. God Bless You my friend....
Since i start to watch this video i couldn’t’ stop crying but as more i watched more i understood that Andrew is a warrior. He won a big battle God bless you always Andrew .
I don't know how I came across this video, but I did and watched it all the way through. What an incredible story, I mean truly fantastic! The challenges you faced were monumental, but you persevered and made it to a full recovery! You've not only recovered back to normal life yourself, but you've also served as an inspiration for anyone watching, knowing that even when we think the problems we face are too much, there is always hope. And there is strength in the Lord. God bless you, sir, best wishes for you in the future. And thank you.
Ethan B The best comment I've read so far...I don't know how I ended up here watching this but it's a blessing. I love the way the songs fitted into it all giving raw hope and encouragement. I have been chronically ill for years but this brought joy to my soul.
As a paramedic and soon to be physiotherapist student, I'm so happy you made it! I literally cried because it touched me how hard you fought to be alive and never gave up. How lovely your family cared for you and all the support you got. Your story makes me so happy! So happy to see what I can anchieve in the future. To give other humans the strenght to move on, support them through hard times and see them grow stronger day by day. Also I'm really impressed by your mental (and ofc physical) strenght. You're such an inspiration to me to keep looking forward and fight for my dreams. Thank you so much for sharing your story! So happy you have such a great family and - soon to be - wife. I wish you the best of luck in the future.
WOW Andrew this is amazing!! Your story is very touching and encouraging. I sincerely wish you all the best in life. God bless you and your family. Stay strong!!!
A whole range of emotions I wasn’t expecting to go through while watching this… Andrew, you’re just amazing, bro!! You’ve endured, fought through and defeated this treacherous illness, I thank God that you are still here and living life, my continued prayers to you and your family for better and brighter days ahead 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
That is unbelievable... I‘m a nurse in a German hospital and I know how difficult it is. Step by step back into a normal life. I wish Andrew all the best and a unique life! Greetings from Germany! 😘
What a long and painful journey it has taken, surrounded warmly by his unwavering loved ones, who today make Andrew a survivor and an even better man to appreciate the life and wonders of this world. Long live him, long live him! Kiss from France
Andrew, I don't even know what to say - - - the unbelievable odds that you have overcome are beyond any words I could find that could possibly do it justice. I spent 10 years in the United States Army and have seen some absolutely incredible people overcome odds I thought were impossible - - - yours young man top any and all I have seen thus far. I am 47 years old and probably old enough to be your father and I have to tell you; you have inspired me beyond measure. I'm not sure how I came across this video but I sure am glad that I did. You are incredibly strong and determined - - - I thank you for your service to your community as you serve them as a firefighter - - - As you know, God is good ALL THE TIME and ALL THE TIME God IS GOOD!!! Praise him; bless you and God bless your soon to be wife and your entire family! If I ever have the opportunity to meet you in person I would consider myself the luckiest man in the world! Be safe as you continue your career - - - YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION TO MANY, MANY PEOPLE!!!! Gary Dietz II, Massillon, Ohio!
Andrew it broke my heart to see this happen to you. I have GBS too, but very minor symptoms over the years. I did research on this but I never knew it could be like this. My heart goes out to you and others who have to go through this agony. I'm so glad you have recovered. Good luck to you!
Andrew your story was an amazing journey. My heart sank as you went from bad to worse and spent so much time in ICU! It was amazing when things started to improve and then therapy was awesomeness! My Son is a Captain in the Charlotte Fire Department and all your brothers, everywhere, are so proud to have you on their team. As are all the parents too. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. You are an inspiration and thank you for sharing your inspirational story and journey to full recovery. Here's to a Hero👍🏻
Andrew If you read this.I am absolutely speechless.The amount of strength and courage you showed.You have amazing parents as well as an extensive support team.You are truly blessed...You have truly inspired me to stop feeling sorry for myself..Even though you were temporarily incapacitated,you pushed yourself to do it. Theres no reason thst prevents me from doing the same...Thank you.I send you many blessings,prayers and positive vibes to you and your amazing Family...May god continue to embrace you and your family.. R.P
This was a real tear jerker. You are an amazing inspiration. God bless you young man. The lord said your work was not yet finished. I’m so glad you are doing so well.
Wow! I have never heard of this before. What a wicked syndrome! The deterioration you fought back out of was like a resurrection. I was shocked that you did not give up. I think I would have given up. When getting as sick as you did, it would be easy to think you could not get better. Please tell us how you remained hopeful enough to keep trying. My favorite saying: "You never fail if you don't stop trying." Well done Andrew!
Whoa! I’m 41, have a masters degree and have been through some really life altering/shattering events myself which has caused me to have thicker skin. You know, that “shake it off” mentality that society, all to often, thrusts on others, especially men. Well, by the end of this, I went through a half box of tissue and was a blubbering fool. I have never been so inspired as I have been by this testimony. Wow. I can’t convey how much I actually needed this... from a random video that popped up on my suggested videos. #miraclesarereal
I didnt expect it but ive watched it from beginning to end. You are so blessed with your loving family and friends behind your back, I'm a nurse too and reading your story made me a little bit ashamed inside for those nurses and doctors who were not able to treat you the way you should be treated. Godbless you for your 2nd chance at life. Hope you will recover more soon! keep fighting andrew!
Watching the video reminded me of how my brother (MAY HE REST IN PEACE) deteriorated within a week and passed on from GBS. Being a medic in a third world country I knew we would do nothing to save him though we did the IVIG'S. It pained me to my core, Andrew is a real inspiration.
Throughout this whole video, all I see that that beautiful smile. Came back from cardiac arrest with a thumbs up. Come on now. This man is such a motivation.
Andrew, you're an awesome inspiration to many who are suffering from this debilitating disease. You have a very supportive family, too! Please pray for my sister who is afflicted with GBS and still in the hospital since April 2021.
This video was soooooo sad watching. I became paralyzed 12/22/01 I wokeup went 2 walk & collapsed back in the bed, from there I was paralyzed fr the waist down, no doctor could figure out the problem. I went Cleveland Clinic OH, Beckley WV, Morgantown WV, & Duke University NC. & still no1 knew why or what was the cuz, I was paralyzed for 7yrs, confined 2 a wheelchair. 7yrs later I regained some feeling back in my leg, so I started 2 learn how 2 walk again, still paralyzed in 1 leg, then a yr later regained feeling n the other leg, so I went from a wheelchair, 2 a walker, then a cane. Now I walk on my own, but they never figured out what the problem was. Now I'm dealin w/Fibromyalgia in my legs. So I do believe in miracles. May God continue to bless you & your family...ur story was very touching that u had me in tears.... God is good!!!
So sorry to hear what your going through Mary , I’ll be praying every day for you to be healed and free and clear of all your pain and suffering just like Andrews story , you keep fighting your doing great , sending prayers and love your way ❤️🙏
Somehow This came across my feed today and I didn't realize how much I needed to know about this. This deeply resonated with me and brought happy tears to my eyes. This guy has the heart of 10 + lions & wow - how inspiring!! I hope and pray hes thriving to this day because I can't imagine there's anyone whos more deserving of a full and happy life - especially after a journey like the one he pulled through. .
I truly believe that a positive attitude, faith and a strong will to survive all play an important role in recovery. Andrew, God bless you! You are amazing! Best wishes to you and your family!
"Keeping track of what was going on helped me keep my sanity." I think mine would have been lost already. I praise the Lord that Andrew made it through this and recovered. I hope it NEVER comes back!
91 dislikes??? Let me guess: really young, immature RUclips trolls going from vid to vid. This was a beautifully made video.....very sad, happy, unbelievable, wonderful, all in one. With thoughts and prayers to you, Andrew, from our family here in Los Angeles. 💚💙💜

Ah. Bless you and your family. I'm so very sorry.
My dearest condolescences to you
Shame on me for ever complaining about a single thing.
God bless you.
Same I complain at a cold and look at Andrew he came such a long way bless him 💙😍
I feel like awful for every saying anything bad about life, watching this videos makes me realize how much worse I could have it and to thank god for letting me be healthy and happy and be able to sleep in a bed in a nice home
Same here.
That was his life. You can complain about your life if you want to without regrets.
Tiffany Ortiz Me too!
I have never been happier for a total stranger in my life! Thank you so much for sharing your experience....especially the progress you made! So, so, so happy for you and your family! Don't ever stop sharing your story...you are an inspiration!
I'm speechless!!!!! This is one of the most important thing I've seen in my life. The power of the human spirit,the power of faith,the power of family,the power of love!!!!!
The power of a space after a comma!!!!!!!
Very encouraging, I am sharing this story with my daughter who is quadriplegic due to a car accident 12yrs.ago her name is Sandra Velo.im her mother Maryann.
💌😍😭
KING OF KING'S.... There's NOTHING HE CAN'T DO!!!!💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️
Andrew you repaid everyone that sacraficed, By not giving up the fight!
What a beautiful way of putting it. You are totally right. As a mother, I think all his mother wanted was for him to fight, the rest was up to GOD!
That’s right you truly are a beacon of hope❤️
I am beyond being silenced with amazement - what an inspiration - such perseverance.
Thank you for posting this. I was diagnosed with GBS in December after suddenly having profound weakness in my legs and then losing my ability to walk.

How are you doing, Lani? 😍
Lani Macho, Please keep us updated!
I’m walking without any assistive devices, can drive and climb a few stairs. My walk still looks like a toddler because I had tendon contractures after being unable to love my legs and feet. Still in Pat and have definitely seen progress. It’s a long road.
You will be!
You got this💪
I cried to see what this young man had to go threw to survive. Such hard work. Was so happy to see Andrew finally fully recover!! What a blessing!! Thank God above!! Amen!!!
LINDA Burnette Amen, Linda!!!
I'm going through this now

I’m not gonna pray.” They would have found themselves praying against their will, because if they didn’t I wouldn’t have changed my mind and the guy would have died because that’s what I wanted all along. Except I didn’t- see explanation above. Seriously folks, can’t you see that this weird, illogical thinking makes no sense, because if it did it would mean that you had no free will and that everyone’s destiny has been pre-ordained since the beginning of time. Anyway, Andrew was an incredibly brave and courageous person, also astonishingly good looking to boot.
If I have never seen a miracle, I have now. Andrew, you are an amazing inspiration.
andrew I am a 11 year old girl and to see this it made me cry and just say there is surtin people in this world that are just ment to be and u are one of those people I have never seen such a inspirational story u just changed my life stay, with god and everything will be ok u are my inspiration for life and I will never ever forget about u and your story
GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH , AN EVER PRESENT HELP IN TROUBLE PSALMS 46:1
A Triump and a Tragedy. You are a BLESSED young man. May God continue to bless you!
Giuliano barre is listed on vaccine inserts as a possible complication of vaccines. So I was wondering if it was possibly a vaccination that caused this?
Just when I was complaining about small things in life, I watch your story and realize that they're nothing compared to what you went through. You are truly an inspiration and I'm very happy that you got better.
What an amazing story! Congrats young man! God is good!
This amazing story of Andrew proves that with strong will and belief we can win anything.
May God bless him and his family and fiance.
I have been questioning my faith over the last couple of years. Many losses. Out of somewhere this video pops up. In my face! Three words...faith restored...humbled.
Today is my 54th bday.. and i watched this video...THE BEST PRESENT EVER.. GOD BLESS YOU ANDREW....
What an amazing journey.. Thank you for great documentation..
This was a very brave young man and full of determination to get back his life and a very loyal family and girlfriend that was a very inspiring video
Tears in my eyes when i watched your battle against this disease. You are brave & hero.
This video has taken me back 12 years ago when I diagnosed with GBS ,it was very difficult time, My thoughts & prayers with those who currently affected with GBS.
God bless you.
When I get down or start to feel sorry for myself I watch this video . What an inspiration . What a man of God .
I do the same
I just saw it for the first time right now, but I promise you that the next time I feel the urge to feel sorry for myself or/and complain, I will watch it again or at least remember such courage, valor, discipline, endurance, love and determination.
May GOD bless y'all beautiful people always and in all ways❣🙏
I came across this by God-incidence. What a truly inspiring story. Praise God that His ways are not the same as ours.
I was in icu with pulmonary blood clots. Depending on someone for everything is tough. Pain and afraid to sleep . Thank God for your recovery.
@@edwinleach7401 ...many years ago, about 30, I also was in hospital with pulmonary blood clots. My faithful fellow Christian sisters drove 60+ miles to come and lay hands on me and pray. Doctors were astounded the next day when the blood clots were gone.
How terrible is it that an insurance company gets to dictate who your doctor is even when he is not helping or even trying. I am so glad you have recovered
I am on medicaid, and people say I shouldn't complain because it's free. Well crap, I've had some horrible doctors. I have refractory epilepsy, and all my neurologists said it was my mental illness. After 20 years of hit or miss, crap neurologists I have an amazing neurologist. She understood, knew it wasn't my mental illness. When my medication didn't work she helped me get an implant, and now I'm seizure free.
@@rachelmartin3631 first off that is so AWESOME that you finally got someone who cares about people, who HEARS YOU, and helped you . I am in Canada where shitty doctors are as well and when you get one it is so harmful. I pretty much was born with a headache...my dr for years said she is faking it, and if she isn't she will just have to live with it. Which had my mom/family believing him. After i had children a chiropractor sent me to a neurologist who told me my pain centre in brain is misfiring and gave me a pill which gave me my life back. No matter who you are, poor rich homeless or live in mansion WE ALL DESERVE EQUAL HEALTH CARE COVERED BY TAX DOLLARS.
I am absolutely shocked by the insurance company/companies. As a European /sure we do have private hospitals special insurances/ but the treatments and hospital treatments are free so we do not have to worry about it./lived in Austria, Hungary, but settled back to my beloved home, Ireland/
Unfortunately it happens. My daughter is a PA-C. Works in a wound clinic, has a patient with a severe ulcer down and into the bone. He’s about to lose his foot to amputation, she has ordered high IV of antibiotics but the place he’s staying at will not let anyone come in do administer his meds. And they won’t let him use transport bring him in to hospital for IV. Haven’t heard today she was fight with insurance to get this medication to save his foot. Crazy
Ikr
Well, there's nothing like a 30 minute cry to get things in perspective!!! God bless you Andrew! Your story has really blessed us! 😊 So many tears of sadness followed by so many tears of joy!!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful story!
Thank you God for giving this brave young man the strength to fight for his life. I cried at what he had to endure. I applaud him for never giving up and having the perseverance to keep fighting. God Bless you Andrew.
My cousin went to the shepherd center after he was paralyzed from a drunk driver. It was such a good place. They taught him how to drive, swim and anything you could imagine. He lives a normal life as he can.
I had GBS too! 2019 End of December 5 days before my wedding! I was in the Ventilator for 1 whole month! Thank God I survived within 2-3 months ♥️
🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️ i hope that you are living your best life now. Lots of love ❤️
I hope you had that wedding and loved every minute of it. God Bless you.
*on* . You were never *in* the ventilator; you can't fit inside yourself.
So happy that you recovered! I hope you had that wedding and you are happy and healthy now, and never have to deal with this disease, EVER again, in your life!! 🙏❤️
God bless you ❤
My husband woke up paralyzed one morning. He was rushed to the hospital where he was in the ICU for a month & rehabilitation for 2 more months. He was diagnosed with GBS also. It was the scariest experience of our lives. Your a fighter Andrew 💪 great job my friend
Every picture, every song, every explanation, it’s not just compelling but it’s incredibly overwhelming. It’s a true testament that our trials are overshadowed by Gods purposes and He will not fail. Pastoring for 40 years and watching many hard places I remained resolved God remains Sovereign....Blessings to your Sweet Mom..that’s truly what Moms love looks like. ❤️ hope your testimony keeps recurring. I don’t know you but know the God you serve...Blessings, Pastor REGINA BLOUNT
Rablount--
Amen, to that!!🙏

GBS in 2011. Just watching you go through what you went through reminded me of the time I spent in the hospital and then nursing home. I'm so happy for you hun. May the Lord bring you happiness and blessings throughout the rest of your healing. God bless you and your family
I’m speechless at the determination of this young man and his family. Words escape me. Just wow my friend and PRAISE GOD!

God Bless everyone that helped him Thank you Jesus🙏🙏
jesus cured him? jesus should of prevented it the first place.
@@jonchicoine I hate to tell u this but Jesus is never wrong,that’s why he said my ways and thoughts,are not the same as yours,I thank god I’m alive n able to move n workout but the lesson I learned with tears in my eyes was seeing my mom 78yrs old spend the night at Hosp,taking turns with my wife who was there literally 15hrs a day this GBS thought me to take great care of those two wonderful woman god changed me I’m more giving n patient with my kids n grandkids in fact I consider it an insult to god,to question why,trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on you own understanding Prove:3-5
Thank you to ALL the medical team and support group that made this possible. ❤️🌈

Amen to that!!
I Agree. A Big Huge "Thank-You", does go out to the Medical Teams, that Helped Andrew Fully Recover!!
A+ For Effort, Assistance, & Crucial Help, for Andrew getting through this!!
Thank-You, & All the Praises & Glory to GOD, for Making a Miracle Happen, through Andrew's Faith, Love & Hope, to Fully Recover, & get back to a Full, Normal Life!🙏🙏🙏💙💛😉😊😃😄👏
My Mama broke her hip a week ago yesterday. She is in rehab. I showed her this video. We were both Sqwaling! You have inspired a little old Lady to get off her ass and to moving. Thanks for sharing your story Son! It is inspiring Ole Miss fans you will probably never meet.
All PRAISE to our God on high !! I am so thankful to you Andrew for documenting this. You are a testament to the power of our AWESOME God. ❤️
my son went through this, he is now a healthy father of two, thank you God!!!
And thanks to his medical team
Can you share your story with me? I'm a nurse who cared for someone who had this illness. He died last year. This illness has no cure and it's always progressing, so if your son has been cured, it's a miracle
Thanks to the doctors.
God don't exist

My husband had GBS in 1968. Many of the things that others have comment on were just what he went through. It was a very frightening experience that he went through. He did make a complete recovering. He was the first known case of GBS in Santa Cruz County. After that Drs would call on him to visit others that had GBS to try and encourage them.
We celebrated our first Wedding Anniversary while he was in the hospital recovering.
Praise God he survived the sickness. They did not give us much hope. They have new ways now of treating GBS, things they didn't know of then.
I am in awe. Humbled. Happy-sad. Hopeful. Grateful. Inspired. I am proud of you, Andrew. And your mother is a superhero.
😊
Nice selection of songs for this incredible life story!! God still working behind the scenes for us. God bless you all
Or you know God could of stopped it before it even happened? Just saying his recovery wasn't God it was his willpower and strength paired with the amazing actions of skilled doctor's and nurses.
What were the names of the songs and who recorded them? They were perfect for this story-telling. He reminds me so much of my precious grandson.
This is an amazingly beautiful story that should be made into a movie . Imagine the hope and encouragement it would give to so many , Wonderful !
My dear friend Andrew, just goes too show what faith and love can do, yes it can move mountains. Gods love for you and your faith and determination, strength of your spirit forged ahead. Let love and light always protect you and your loved ones now and forever more.
With love and thanks for sharing your life’s journey with us.
Rev. Virginia Stevens. ✝️✝️🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This gentleman’s story is so moving, he’s and his family are amazing.
Wow. This story brought me to tears. Andrew had such great amount of courage and amazing support from his family. God bless him and his family.
Same I agree and I think most people cried
My brother in law also had GBS, he too is a survivor. Loved your selections of music.
GOD IS GOOD.
You are an amazing man; strong, invincible and smart. I went through a medical hardship from a surgery temporary loss of memory and speech, and my career. I know how hard you've struggled. Thank God you have a fabulous family who love you. Welcome back!!! You deserve all good things life has to offer!
Wow
Thank you for making me see how ungrateful and selfish I am as a human being. You are truly a child of God. May he continue to watch over and bless you as well as your loved ones. Thank you and I send you love and happiness.
In 2009 I was 7 weeks pregnant I'm diagnosed with GBS I was the only known case to have it during my first trimester three months in the hospital I'm 5 weeks and rehab I walked out of the hospital me and the baby are happy and healthy now in 2020 my little girl is almost ten and is doing great I think the Lord everyday for bringing us through it
🙏🏿
My daughter also had GBS in the first trimester. This was 2003. Doctors advised her to terminate the pregnancy. She did not Cierra is now 20 years old.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am a nursing student and I stumbled on this video. I started crying at 3 minutes and didn't stop until the end. You are the reason I am going to be a nurse, to make a difference. I'm looking foward to sharing your story with others in school. I have recently went though a hard time and it almost seems silly now. You really are my hero. And congrats on the engagment, you two make a lovely couple.
If Gbs came after a flu shot we are able to collect compensation from the US government through the vaccine court. Please pass it on. Good luck! Hang in there.
Without a doubt this is the most inspirational story I’ve ever seen.
Andrew you are a real life Super Hero. I am blown away by your
Courage. Much love ❤️ to you brother. You have an amazing family and your story is unforgettable. God bless.
What an awesome, inspirational story and thru it all, a smile on your face all the way. God bless you Andrew!
I cried watching this video! God is great! Miracles DO happen everyday! So happy for you!!!
He is great. He made his recovery possible. Hard work & not giving up with the support of a great family.
So happy you recovered. I cried like a big baby watching this. Congratulations on your engagement.
It was very hard to watch Todd. Just by chance it popped up on my screen. Wonderful girlfriend. Through thick and thin. That was also a part of his therapy even though he was strong at heart.
Hi
I'm Lakmini form srilanka
Give your nambar plz
Andrew, you are so strong an an inspiration to so many people who have battles themselves. What struck me most about this video was your beautiful smile! Even on your darkest days I saw a smile, and when you couldn't with your mouth, I saw it in your eyes. You are truly a blessing to your family and them to you. I'm so happy for your miraculous recovery.
I was a professional race car driver and was in a life changing crash. I broke my neck, back, 8 other bones, and sub stained a head injury. I teared up watching your story.
I was not cleared to return to
racing because of my head injury, but I will near complain
again.Your story is absolutely an amazing miracle and I'm sure you're an amazing thank you so much for sharing your story, God bless your you man
and your awesome family.
I stumbled across this video by accident. As a middle-aged man going through some health problems including two heart attacks, two days apart, I was feeling sorry for myself quite often and fell into a deep depression. I have no family, so have gotten through by myself. After seeing what you've been through, and how fast and wonderful you came through, you are truly an inspiration! God bless you and your family. You're a testament of how the support of loved ones can help with recovery. Congratulations on your engagement and nothing but the best for you and your future!

From a fellow firefighter, now retired, what an epic story. Best to you! Eric
Andrew my heart broke 💔 for everything you went through. GOD was with you and Jesus healed you. Jesus healed my son of leukaemia he was given 3 months to live 18 year's ago.
Andrew you have a beautiful smile and a wonderful family I'm happy your girlfriend said yes. ❤
God bless you abundantly AMEN and Hallelujah. 🙏🏻✝️♥️
I had GBS almost ten years ago. I didnt have any symptoms one day suddenly i couldnt walk and rushed to the hospital. I was paralyzed from the waist down but also couldnt feel my hands either. I was in a coma for 3 days and stayed in the ICU for about a week and 3 months in the hospital. After 6 months later i was able to crawl and stand on my own. Now im fully recovered but i have things that im not able to do. I cannot thank my family and my doctors that helped me through these difficult and horrible times. Im glad that you are okay now :)
thank you for sharing this. Its astonishing how many people have dealt with this and how most know nothing about it! did they ever say what they think spurred it on for you?
hay cute
Sohret Oktay I wish that u will always healthy after this and give respect and proud to you that you are tough and brave...
Sam Wimoe thank you so much! Your kind words made me very happy :)
Şöhret sen hayattaki hero kızsın bunu unutma
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm in medical school and we are learning about GBS, so I will carry your story with me now.
Made me cry then smile So happy for full recovery God is great
I’m a nursing student and am blessed to have heard his story today ❤️
I'd bet money he was recently VACCINATED. PLEASE PLEASE be a good doctor and see the damage those POISONS DO.
@@janchampine2009 m
Bless you for your recovery. You are so correct when you say that is a family illness . We had a family friend who had it and it was horrifying to watch what they went through .
Wow, what a testimony! Praise God for this miraculous recovery!
Beautiful love story! I saw love and God's amazing power in every segment of your story, Andrew. It was a wonderful testament to your strength and faith. You should write a book about this chapter of your life. God bless you, your fiancée/wife, family, and all those who helped in your recovery. ❤🙏
You are such an inspiration. I’m in tears I really needed to see this today. God is so good! May the lord continue to bless you and your family!
God bless you. I had GBS when I was a year old . My dad was in the Army and transferred to Fort Campbell Kentucky army base, we left behind hIm driving from California to Kentucky , my mom said I was fine at first, then I got sick very high temp. 104 and I was screaming in pain..I broke out in a rash. I wouldn't eat. She took me to the Army hospital they did 5 spinal taps was told that I have GBS now this was 60 years ago when GBS was so new most Doctors even knew about it. But I got a great pediatric neurologist I had a trike and was completely paralyzed neck down; But with in a year I stated to move my finger. By the next 6 months I was was learning to walk my mom said I was just beginning to walk when I got sick. I was in the hospital for 1 1/2 yrs. By the good Lord I got better. I'm in the medical journals of being one of the first baby to get GBS. I had to wear special shoes and braces when I went to school, by the time I went to JHS I didn't need any more braces or specially shoes. All this was told to me by my parents and family. I went to USC and graduated with a nursing degree BSN I work for 33 yrs and I did my thesis on GBS. I believe that our good Lord heals in a special way, God bless you always XOXO
Waww
Wow that’s crazy how God has worked in every bodies lives.
Sounds like a vaccine reaction
Your story is very inspirational. Kuddos for you lasting 33 years in the nursing profession.
wow wow wow. Andrew you story is truly incredible. You literally were close to dying and then you fought you way back and won. I am so happy for you. I am so glad you found a partner to share your life with.
This is incredible. Wow Andrew and the family, you guys just shine. The first song says so much “if I tell you my story…it’s to tell of Him.” I see that! So beautiful. Thank you.
I was diagnosed with GBS on August 30th, 2016 and now I am happy to report that I am back in action as a professional ballet dancer. The path of diagnosis, care and rehab were challenging, but (as you well know) it is worlds better with family and friend by your side. May God bless you.
What an inspiration. I'm dealing with severe multiple sclerosis and contemplated suicide for a while, now I'm starting to be positive again and Andrew 's story really shook me.
Thank you!
🤗💖🙏
Vape some cannabis. How does ms feel?
You have the right to quit, but you are better than that. Keep fighting, miracles do happen and the people around you need you , so ask for help in need and be determined to go on because all your stories are what makes this world a Wonderful World. God Bless You my friend....
May God bless you and provide all the things you need, especially health and excellent care, in The name of Christ Jesus, I pray...Amen!!🙏
You are still needed here. That is what led you to this vid.
Jesus will never abandon you - ever.
"water never tasted so good "the little things we take for granted.
God bless you.
Since i start to watch this video i couldn’t’ stop crying but as more i watched more i understood that Andrew is a warrior. He won a big battle God bless you always Andrew .
I don't know how I came across this video, but I did and watched it all the way through. What an incredible story, I mean truly fantastic! The challenges you faced were monumental, but you persevered and made it to a full recovery! You've not only recovered back to normal life yourself, but you've also served as an inspiration for anyone watching, knowing that even when we think the problems we face are too much, there is always hope. And there is strength in the Lord. God bless you, sir, best wishes for you in the future. And thank you.
Ethan B The best comment I've read so far...I don't know how I ended up here watching this but it's a blessing. I love the way the songs fitted into it all giving raw hope and encouragement. I have been chronically ill for years but this brought joy to my soul.

As a paramedic and soon to be physiotherapist student, I'm so happy you made it! I literally cried because it touched me how hard you fought to be alive and never gave up. How lovely your family cared for you and all the support you got.
Your story makes me so happy! So happy to see what I can anchieve in the future. To give other humans the strenght to move on, support them through hard times and see them grow stronger day by day.
Also I'm really impressed by your mental (and ofc physical) strenght. You're such an inspiration to me to keep looking forward and fight for my dreams. Thank you so much for sharing your story!
So happy you have such a great family and - soon to be - wife. I wish you the best of luck in the future.
WOW Andrew this is amazing!! Your story is very touching and encouraging. I sincerely wish you all the best in life. God bless you and your family. Stay strong!!!
A whole range of emotions I wasn’t expecting to go through while watching this… Andrew, you’re just amazing, bro!! You’ve endured, fought through and defeated this treacherous illness, I thank God that you are still here and living life, my continued prayers to you and your family for better and brighter days ahead 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
What an awesome testament to strength, courage, and faith. Our God is an awesome God. This was truly a blessing to watch, Andrew. :)
I praise God for you brother! Thank you for sharing your testimony with us.
This proves he's always with us!
What an exceptional young man he really is very special..God bless all that took care of him..
That is unbelievable... I‘m a nurse in a German hospital and I know how difficult it is. Step by step back into a normal life. I wish Andrew all the best and a unique life! Greetings from Germany! 😘
wie gehts ?
What a long and painful journey it has taken, surrounded warmly by his unwavering loved ones, who today make Andrew a survivor and an even better man to appreciate the life and wonders of this world. Long live him, long live him! Kiss from France
Andrew, I don't even know what to say - - - the unbelievable odds that you have overcome are beyond any words I could find that could possibly do it justice. I spent 10 years in the United States Army and have seen some absolutely incredible people overcome odds I thought were impossible - - - yours young man top any and all I have seen thus far. I am 47 years old and probably old enough to be your father and I have to tell you; you have inspired me beyond measure. I'm not sure how I came across this video but I sure am glad that I did. You are incredibly strong and determined - - - I thank you for your service to your community as you serve them as a firefighter - - - As you know, God is good ALL THE TIME and ALL THE TIME God IS GOOD!!! Praise him; bless you and God bless your soon to be wife and your entire family! If I ever have the opportunity to meet you in person I would consider myself the luckiest man in the world! Be safe as you continue your career - - - YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION TO MANY, MANY PEOPLE!!!! Gary Dietz II, Massillon, Ohio!
What a heartwarming story of grace and strength! I loved the music that was used. Truly by Gods Healing Grace❤
Andrew it broke my heart to see this happen to you. I have GBS too, but very minor symptoms over the years. I did research on this but I never knew it could be like this. My heart goes out to you and others who have to go through this agony. I'm so glad you have recovered. Good luck to you!
Andrew your story was an amazing journey. My heart sank as you went from bad to worse and spent so much time in ICU! It was amazing when things started to improve and then therapy was awesomeness! My Son is a Captain in the Charlotte Fire Department and all your brothers, everywhere, are so proud to have you on their team. As are all the parents too. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. You are an inspiration and thank you for sharing your inspirational story and journey to full recovery. Here's to a Hero👍🏻
how does this not make you cry, and wonder why. But, Father bless this young man and glorify Yourself through his life! HalleluYah!
you are one BadAss Andrew...a True Survivor & HERO to others to not give up...Amazing story SO HAPPY you got thru this horrible illness
Andrew
If you read this.I am absolutely speechless.The amount of strength and courage you showed.You have amazing parents as well as an extensive support team.You are truly blessed...You have truly inspired me to stop feeling sorry for myself..Even though you were temporarily incapacitated,you pushed yourself to do it. Theres no reason thst prevents me from doing the same...Thank you.I send you many blessings,prayers and positive vibes to you and your amazing Family...May god continue to embrace you and your family..
R.P
The Lord had a better plan for him. The true miracle.
This was a real tear jerker. You are an amazing inspiration. God bless you young man. The lord said your work was not yet finished. I’m so glad you are doing so well.
Wow! I have never heard of this before. What a wicked syndrome! The deterioration you fought back out of was like a resurrection. I was shocked that you did not give up. I think I would have given up. When getting as sick as you did, it would be easy to think you could not get better. Please tell us how you remained hopeful enough to keep trying. My favorite saying: "You never fail if you don't stop trying." Well done Andrew!
Whoa! I’m 41, have a masters degree and have been through some really life altering/shattering events myself which has caused me to have thicker skin. You know, that “shake it off” mentality that society, all to often, thrusts on others, especially men. Well, by the end of this, I went through a half box of tissue and was a blubbering fool. I have never been so inspired as I have been by this testimony. Wow. I can’t convey how much I actually needed this... from a random video that popped up on my suggested videos. #miraclesarereal
ISO MY USA
Me too. 😢
Masters Degree must've helped... whoah
I didnt expect it but ive watched it from beginning to end. You are so blessed with your loving family and friends behind your back, I'm a nurse too and reading your story made me a little bit ashamed inside for those nurses and doctors who were not able to treat you the way you should be treated. Godbless you for your 2nd chance at life. Hope you will recover more soon! keep fighting andrew!
Amazing! God Bless you Andrew and I am so glad that you are back up and running around and back at work!
Watching the video reminded me of how my brother (MAY HE REST IN PEACE) deteriorated within a week and passed on from GBS. Being a medic in a third world country I knew we would do nothing to save him though we did the IVIG'S. It pained me to my core, Andrew is a real inspiration.
I am incredibly sad for the tragic loss of your brother may he rest in peace.
Im so sorry you brother 😢
Wow...amazing...I'm overwhelmed ...so happy for you and your family ❤
Throughout this whole video, all I see that that beautiful smile. Came back from cardiac arrest with a thumbs up. Come on now. This man is such a motivation.
People use to die of this disease. This kid is a fighter. Thank God for all the wonderful medical staff!
Andrew, you're an awesome inspiration to many who are suffering from this debilitating disease. You have a very supportive family, too! Please pray for my sister who is afflicted with GBS and still in the hospital since April 2021.
🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
Prayers for your Sister. God will be my her side, every step of the way!🙏🙏🙏🙏

What a beautiful man with a story that is full of super heroes, do well in life Andrew and Family thank you all so much for sharing
God is faithful..this just made me realize that it's the little things in life we take for granted
True that. Praise God
This video was soooooo sad watching. I became paralyzed 12/22/01 I wokeup went 2 walk & collapsed back in the bed, from there I was paralyzed fr the waist down, no doctor could figure out the problem. I went Cleveland Clinic OH, Beckley WV, Morgantown WV, & Duke University NC. & still no1 knew why or what was the cuz, I was paralyzed for 7yrs, confined 2 a wheelchair. 7yrs later I regained some feeling back in my leg, so I started 2 learn how 2 walk again, still paralyzed in 1 leg, then a yr later regained feeling n the other leg, so I went from a wheelchair, 2 a walker, then a cane. Now I walk on my own, but they never figured out what the problem was. Now I'm dealin w/Fibromyalgia in my legs. So I do believe in miracles. May God continue to bless you & your family...ur story was very touching that u had me in tears.... God is good!!!

Mary Bsharah where are you from?
Somehow This came across my feed today and I didn't realize how much I needed to know about this. This deeply resonated with me and brought happy tears to my eyes. This guy has the heart of 10 + lions & wow - how inspiring!! I hope and pray hes thriving to this day because I can't imagine there's anyone whos more deserving of a full and happy life - especially after a journey like the one he pulled through. .
Amen to that, Sarah!!! 💕
I truly believe that a positive attitude, faith and a strong will to survive all play an important role in recovery. Andrew, God bless you! You are amazing! Best wishes to you and your family!
"Keeping track of what was going on helped me keep my sanity." I think mine would have been lost already. I praise the Lord that Andrew made it through this and recovered. I hope it NEVER comes back!
91 dislikes??? Let me guess: really young, immature RUclips trolls going from vid to vid.
This was a beautifully made video.....very sad, happy, unbelievable, wonderful, all in one.
With thoughts and prayers to you, Andrew, from our family here in Los Angeles. 💚💙💜
