Also don't put pressure on yourself to post or have to think of something super creative to post, I enjoy the mundane of everyday life and quite honestly I would watch anything you post up even if it's like a 10 min video of you eating an apple.
Just a word of advice about the pain killers: over time, they will trigger some sadness. They're gonna deplete some of the good serotonin and stuff in your brain and that will just naturally trigger some sadness. It's an unfortunate side effect that they have. It's okay. You will be okay, I promise. Just be aware that's what is happening sometimes. It can trigger arguments and anger sometimes too. This whole situation can in general. You're both in super vulnerable emotional states because of this trauma. Coming down from pain meds late in the day just makes you even more vulnerable. It helped me a lot to understand that. Crying is okay, Kristin. It can really help the emotional healing. It's hard seeing your old life sometimes and knowing you're a long way away from getting your fitness and health back. But you will. It will take time, and it will be difficult, but you will. God has asked you to walk this path for some good reason. Try not to forget that. It's very likely that this difficult season is something that will put you in a position one day to truly help someone else get through their own difficult season. Again, sending all the love and prayers to you both! Lean on your faith, your family, and each other! There is light at the end of the tunnel, even if in some moments you cannot see it.
This was such an insightful comment! Everyone has different experiences with pain meds though. They make some people exhausted, (they can’t keep their eyes open) They make some people feel like they have more energy than they have ever had in their life (they want to build a house)! The important thing to know is these feelings are real and they are a real part of healing. It’s also important not to ignore your pain. Worried about taking pain meds and not taking them, then being in pain all of the time doesn’t help the healing process either. It’s important to manage pain and manage emotions. You have an amazing support system at home and what seems a big support system of therapists and doctors. If you are feeling a little unbalanced or not like yourself, ask your support team what they think. They will be able to tell you how you are ACTING, not feeling. Your feelings are your feelings. They will be able to tell you if you arent acting like yourself though, and this will help you negotiate any adverse effects you are going through. Sending you both Love and Positive Vibes and don’t worry about the quality of your videos!! Just keep doing what u are doing girl! The video was perfect!!:)🤍☀️
I can imagine that as being a RUclipsr/Influencer, you probably feel like there are a lot of expectations of you and on you, but please know and believe that our only expectation of you is for you to take care of yourself and do everything that you need to get back to physical and mental health. Of course, we love to hear and see from you and see how God is healing you!
A prayer for you and Marcus [note: it's long lol] :) Father, I thank you for Kristin and the joy and peace that she has brought to others by sharing her life. I thank you for using her love for people and plants and baking and decorating and life to sow positivity and inspire others around her. I thank you preserving her life and giving her the mental and physical strength to vlog and put out content for her viewers. I praise your name and declare that you will be glorified through Marcus and Kristin's lives in this season, and I'm so grateful that you've taken care of them by giving them the support they need to pursue their spiritual, mental, and physical health. It fills me with awe that you knew this would happen and prepared the way so that everyone can look back and see this period as a time of worth-it growth and refinement rather than a time of desolation and negativity. You are good, Adonai, and I ask that you would continue to prove yourself faithful to Kristin, her sister, Marcus, Cody, Lexi, their parents, and even their close friends. Could you accelerate their recovery process even more? Or take away the pain part of it? I know it can't be easy to deal with so much pain for such a long time, and I want my sister and brother-in-Christ to be pain-free. Jesus you didn't require in-person touch for healing, so virtual can work too, no? May faith make them well! May life and joy and laughter be in their house. May your Holy Spirit comfort Kristin when she is faced with a day of sadness and regret and hints of bitterness. May your love overwhelm all fear and teach them to continue to trust you no matter what. I know your plans for them are beautiful and good and life-giving, and I pray that while these plans come to past, you would surround these two with your presence as they grow closer to you and each other. When temptation and trouble comes their way, God remind them that you are for them and that your Word is a weapon to fight against unseen opposition. Be with them, Lord. Bless them and shine your face upon them and be gracious to them. Teach Marcus how to be there for his wife in this time, but also how to take care of himself well. Show him how to lean on you and to find the beauty in every situation. Teach Kristin how to be there for her husband during this time even as you teach her how to take care of herself well. Grow them to deeper intimacy and friendship together in this, God. Increase their capacity for love and forgiveness and patience with themselves and others. May Marcus and Kristin stand strong in spirit and may their hearts dance before you as they train their bodies to do the same! Abba, have your way on this channel and in Kristin's life. I love you
Who else is so excited to see what God does in their lives now. The more they share this miracle they lived through the more people’s lives it will change Kristen and Marcus we love you!
It just really makes you appreciate your health. When you think of an accident and when the reporters say “non life threatening injuries” and you’re just like okay good they’re alive. But really they have such a long road to recovery. Imagine if they had a 9-5 job too they couldn’t even go to work. I’m so thankful they are doing better and are so positive. Stay strong!
I feel so close to you. A month later to the day and time of your accident I was hit by a street racer going 80 mph. I broke my back in 3 places, broke 10 ribs, broke my right arm, and had a serious hematoma on my chest. Hearing your story has helped me feel less alone. I'm so sorry you and Marcus have had to go through this. You are both so strong. Jesus has been my support through my experience and I just feel such a kinship with you two! I'm praying for continued quick and total healing for you both! Love in Christ, AJ
AngelChick03 thank you so much 🤗 I am healing! I’m kind of going through the same thing Kristen has been going through. Every day is different and sometimes sad always tired but I’m definitely healing🥰 thank you for asking ❤️
Whenever you get sad over the things you cant do at the moment just think to yourself "we're both alive". I know it's hard but God wasnt ready for you two to go...you guys are a miracle and prime example of how God works his magic!! Stay strong!! You'll get through this!! 💕
I think your coping mechanism is very healthy! Moving on and setting new goals when healing from this abrupt and unexpected damage is a great way to help you maintain perspective while dealing with the physical and emotional difficulties you are going through. We all cry in private sometimes that I think is only human!
I’m so so glad you are journaling!! Coming from trauma as well many years ago, you still feel pain in your heart. & journaling is a great copanism! (what my mom & I say as a coping mechanism!) you are such a strong soul! A little quote to hold onto is “Grow through what you go through” & that is what you are doing! Keep your head up love!!💜 also another quote to hold onto is “With the Holy Spirit, there is Growth”! Never let go of what God had planned for you both! Cause you know he does ✞
I use a shower chair and a walker too. It was definitely tough to get used to. Unfortunately I won't heal from my condition. I hope you are able to be nice to yourself about it all.
I love how real you are now. Everything we go through makes us grow as people and open up wider and become more aware and conscious. I believe we are where we're supposed to be and better for it and don't look back on the past in sadness. After my two year long illness I finally stopped looking back on the girl I was before in jealousy almost and realized I am way better today and more open and knowledgeable now than I was then. We will be better people for what we go through
I was in tears while watching this.. I'm sending so much love to you. I've been praying for you, Marcus, and your family. This situation is going to be such a great testimony and just lean into God during this time. He has brought you through so much already, but he is still working and in control!
I love when my villagers get together and sing!🥰 Also I know that social media is part of your job, but letting people in on something so traumatic like this is just so brave and I’m grateful for youtubers/influencers like you that still radiate so much love and positivity during things like this. You’re not obligated to share this part of your life with everyone, but I think it’s a wake up call for a lot of people. Myself included in that! Love you Kristin!💛
so freaking happy for you and marcus! it is just a blessing that you both are alive and well, and i would honestly watch a video of you sitting in your bed playing animal crossing 😂i have missed you and marcus SO MUCH!! truly, there is no pressure to post/update/film BUT just know that if you want to post a 40 minute video of you staring at a wall, i would watch it 😊love you guys so so much and praying for you always!
Your story has deeply moved me and is a beautiful reminder of God's goodness and closeness in the worst of times. You need to know Kristin that this story will change peoples lives and move others deeply. God is going to use this for so much more good than you can see right now, you do not know the ripple affect this will have on thousands of people. Blessings upon you!
“For I well know the thoughts that I am thinking toward you,’ declares Jehovah, ‘thoughts of peace, and not of calamity, to give you a future and a hope” - Jeremiah 29:11 💙💙
I had a pulmonary embolism a few years ago. It was caused entirely by birth control and it was really scary and I had a lot of mental health struggles afterwards. Your body is strong and you are doing great! Thank you for the updates, get well soon 🙂
As someone who loves working out - i can imagine that it’s frustrating that you can’t have your normal routine. I am so glad you guys made it through and I pray for a speedy recovery for you both!! Praying for those mountain climbers to be possible soon 😉
I totalllyyy understand being triggered by the video of you doing mountain climbers. I've been dealing with an injury for the past few months and in the beginning it was SO hard even driving past my gym or hearing friends talk about going hiking but it definitely gets easier and it is a real opportunity to appreciate our recovering bodies and all the amazing things it can do. You're going to recover and be your independent self in no time, but in the mean-time everything you are feeling is normal and will pass. Wishing you a speedy recovery
Missed you Kristin i pray that you have a speedy recovery. Thanks for being real and open with us as always. Sad days are so normal with all that you went through. I’m so happy that you are okay.
You’re such an inspiration. You remind me of Matthew 5:16 that talks about letting your light shine so that people see God through you, I can see God through you. I just feel like you radiate Jesus and it’s so incredible to see. Will continue praying for you and Marcus. In Jesus’ name, you won’t need more surgery. Love you. ❤️❤️ Keep getting better!
I legit cried when I saw the injury on your leg.... It made it all real and the pain that person caused both mentally and physically. You might heal physically from this but the trauma will always linger. I really hope you guys heal. You are the sweetest sools
If vlogging gives you any relief and makes things feel more normal, I know so many of us would watch even what you might think is mundane !💜 When you're back to everyday things, no matter how long it takes, we'll all be so much more appreciative. You and Marcus are so brave and it seems like your relationship has strengthened even more. You push me to see that God is real and explore more about my faith :)
Kristin, you are an inspiration. You have been my favorite youtube/influencer for years. I am so happy you and Marcus are alive and in recovery! You are my role model because I have gone through extreme emotional and physical trauma as well. When I was 9, my dad passed away from kidney failure. After he passed my siblings and I were checked to see if we showed any signs of the genetic disease he had. We found out that my brother, sister, and I all had the disease, and before we all turned 22, we all three had kidney failure and became disabled. Seeing you go through an experience that is physically and emotionally similar to me, and still praising God for letting you go through it inspires me. Now I praise God for my disability and hope I can inspire someone like you have for me. Thank you for being you, and sharing yourself with us!
this reminds me of my life right now. I just got hip surgery a week ago and I’ve just been in bed so I’m happy to know we are going through the same thing. good luck with your recovery girl. we GOT THIS !! 🙌🏼💗💗
Honestly just been crying and thanking God that yall are alive. You are so strong and will make it through! I honestly wouldn't have had the strength you have, don't feel discouraged, please. Videos like these I love, don't be hard on yourself, give yourself some credit that you are even uploading in general. You deserve the world queen praying that you make progress day by day, give yourself more credit, love you!
Doing amazing you too! As a physio myself I just cant help but thinking you need a Kinetech. It would help you so so much with bending your knee. I dont know of course, maybe you are using it already.. It is basically a machine that you put on the bed and bends your leg passively for you. Slowly and gradually, untill a certain degree that you can choose. Gives you soo much extra practice time!! Good luck!
By the time things are going to be “normal” again your going to be such a different person from everything that you’ve experienced that it won’t be the same but your definitely going to be a much stronger person for it 💕
Get well soon, Kristin and Marcus! Love you guys! ❤❤🌹🌹 It scares me that you have to be on pain killers and stuff, but as someone who has dealt with a tough physical situation like this myself, I understand they're a necessary evil during this difficult period! It helped me to log my daily dosages and to force rest days from the pain meds when it made sense to do so. Having a log will be helpful to ween off them eventually. Anyway, sending all the positive vibes your way! Prayers, love, and all the good energy! Zap! Straight from my heart to you both! 🙏🏻
Glad to see how well you’re recovering! I recently DM’d you on IG because I am currently in a similar condition to yours (except i’m stil in the hospital : ( and I’d love to chat to you about it all. So happy to see how much progress I have to look forward to when I see you now!! Stay strong!!
You really really are blessed..My aunt was instantly killed going through a green light t-boned by a guy running a red going 70 (and the cop chasing him didnt have his sirens or lights on so my uncle ended up suing glendale az police & won) anyway she was a neonatal nurse and a pure angel & missed everyday. So the fact that you got hit by someone going that fast really had to be Him💙
Kristin just remember one day you’ll look back and be grateful for how far you’ve come. I broke my tibia last November and I would have the same rush of emotions thinking about being independent again and living my “normal” life. You will get there, keep working hard at your PT! Pain is so worth it when it’s working towards regaining your ROM! 💛
thank you for being so vulnerable with us! we love you so much!!🥺🤍 as simple as this video was, it was enjoyable just because i miss seeing you! love you kristin!! praying for you!
Oh my gosh, we missed you and you take as much time as you need to heal in every way you have to! THIS is real life. Seeing someone get knocked down and stand back up (literally), still have faith, and STILL smile. Not every day, but enough days to be encouraging to others. You’re a ray of sunshine, keep shining the light!!! GOD IS GOOD!
when my husband had his seizure, and couldn't drive, that feeling of losing his independence was the worst thing for him. i encourage you to make the most of this time, and despite losing such a massive element of who you are, there are so many things to be grateful for so keep going. and your independence will return
So glad you are back!! I have been going through the same thing with my depression.. it’s hard but you just have to remember “this too shall pass”💗 I’ve been going through this for about 4 1/2 years now and I have a rollercoaster of emotions daily.. I was a nurse before I was diagnosed with chronic nerve damage in my back and felt like my life was taken from me since I can’t work. It’s hard going from being really active, to pretty much bedridden.. but keep your faith because God has big plans for your life! You have an amazing testimony and you may not realize it but this accident has brought you closer to Him and has also brought others closer to Him! Praying for you daily! You’ve got this! Just keep reminding yourself that this is only temporary!
I just discovered y'all. I am so happy y'all survived and are on the road to recovery. I love your vlogs. They are very honest and sweet. God bless you two sweet people. I'll keep y'all in my prayers for not just physical healing, but emotional healing, too.
I wish I could just give you a big hug Kristin! You are so strong and my heart goes out to you for all you're going through and dealing with right now.
So proud of how far you’ve come!!! Been praying for a full recovery since I saw the post of the accident on Instagram. You and Marcus (and Jesus) are so strong!!💕
I’m new to your channel but I’ve been binging all your videos these past couple of days and they’ve been brightening up my day!! so happy you are back ❤️ praying for complete physical and mental healing!!!
I’ve been listening to this song and it reminded me of your accident story. It’s a constant reminder of the goodness of God and his faithfulness.. thought I’d share. Promises (feat. Joe L. Barnes & Naomi Raine) - Maverick City 💛🌻.
You look like you’re doing so much better. I know your journey right now is a struggle, but you both are so strong and I know you’ll get through this. Be kind to yourself and know that it’s ok to struggle and have bad days. I wrecked when I was 17. I partially amputated my right foot, broke my right arm, fractured some ribs and my head went through the windshield. Those 12 months it took to recover were the hardest months of my life. I promise it gets better.
You can do it! I broke my knee in several places 10 moths ago, and I couldn't bend or straighten it at all for the first 3 months. I work as a fitness instructor and thought I would never instruct a class again. Now, 10 months later, I'm almost as good as knew. Hang in there! ❤️
I had a knee surgery and could not bend at a 90 angle on my own. My pt told me to slide my leg off of my bed and let it drop multiple times a day to let it bend. It’s going to hurt a bit but it helps ! Bless you Kristin! 💕
Watching the way that you are navigating this insanely difficult season has really strengthened my faith. Thank you for being brave to share - I'm praying continually for more and more healing!! 💛
9:54 I heard the worry in your moms “WHAT” probably had her thinking you were passing out 😂 I’m a phlebotomist and will forever get that pit in my gut when someone yells for me from another room 😰
I had to look up your occupation but you have my nightmare career hahaha I could neverrrrr but I'm thankful there are people that can handle that type of stuff!
Probably my favorite vlog because of the realness. Not that the other videos are fake, but there’s just something about this that feels raw and true ❤️ Thank you for posting Kristin😌🌿💞
You guys inspire me so much not give up. I recently lost my grandfather because of covid and I felt like my world came down. Thanks for lifting me up in your guys obstacle in life, I know you both got this 💜☺️
"I am leaving you with a gift - peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid." JOHN 14 : 27
Praying for you guys! You are doing awesome Kristen! Recovery is oftentimes worse than the accident itself. Prayers that God is with you and Marcus in this time. ❤️ You will get through this!
Honestly you deserve an award for still shaving your legs through all this. I know that sounds so silly but I feel like it’s so hard to remember to do the small things to take care of yourself when something horrible has happened ...
So nice seeing this pop up on my feed! Praying y’all continue to heal. Praying for peace, pain free days, and happiness 💛💛 believing in a 110% recovery, mentally and physically!
WHO ELSE IS SO HAPPY AND GRATEFUL THEY ARE ALIVE AND WELL? Every time I look at them I’m like: “THANK YOU JESUS” 🙏🙏
Amen
Amen!
Yes!!!
Me after by-pass heart surgery last year.
Also don't put pressure on yourself to post or have to think of something super creative to post, I enjoy the mundane of everyday life and quite honestly I would watch anything you post up even if it's like a 10 min video of you eating an apple.
🥺🙏🏼
Agreed!!! My favorite vlogs of yours are the relaxed, this is what I’m doing today vlogs 💗💗 of course with little bits of camper and honey 😍
😂😂😂😂😂
Same, I would watch her do the simplest things:)
Haha ok but why is this so true 😂
"Is it scandalous to just have a towel on?"
"Yes."
"It IS?!?"
* Keeps filming without doing anything about it *
Lydia _ She has the sweetest personality! Makes me smile a lot 😊😄☺️
:D made me smile
😂😂😂😂😂so funny! but kristin isn't scandalous 💛
Lol nothing she does is scandalous!

Constantine A - Here’s yet another amazing comment for Kristin❤️. How are people so smart? Are you all life coaches or pastors?
This was such a nice comment!
I love this comment!

“He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3. He loves you both so much. Take heart, dear one.

Its been such a journey seeing Kristin and Marcus get better, I’ve literally been so invested in their story😂
When Camper was licking your leg omg 🥺🥺 he can tell his mommy needs some love - I missed you so much! 💖
I can imagine that as being a RUclipsr/Influencer, you probably feel like there are a lot of expectations of you and on you, but please know and believe that our only expectation of you is for you to take care of yourself and do everything that you need to get back to physical and mental health.

So proud of your progress Kristin!💖You are killin it girlfriend🥰
A prayer for you and Marcus [note: it's long lol] :)
Father,
I thank you for Kristin and the joy and peace that she has brought to others by sharing her life. I thank you for using her love for people and plants and baking and decorating and life to sow positivity and inspire others around her. I thank you preserving her life and giving her the mental and physical strength to vlog and put out content for her viewers. I praise your name and declare that you will be glorified through Marcus and Kristin's lives in this season, and I'm so grateful that you've taken care of them by giving them the support they need to pursue their spiritual, mental, and physical health. It fills me with awe that you knew this would happen and prepared the way so that everyone can look back and see this period as a time of worth-it growth and refinement rather than a time of desolation and negativity.
You are good, Adonai, and I ask that you would continue to prove yourself faithful to Kristin, her sister, Marcus, Cody, Lexi, their parents, and even their close friends. Could you accelerate their recovery process even more? Or take away the pain part of it? I know it can't be easy to deal with so much pain for such a long time, and I want my sister and brother-in-Christ to be pain-free. Jesus you didn't require in-person touch for healing, so virtual can work too, no? May faith make them well!
May life and joy and laughter be in their house. May your Holy Spirit comfort Kristin when she is faced with a day of sadness and regret and hints of bitterness. May your love overwhelm all fear and teach them to continue to trust you no matter what. I know your plans for them are beautiful and good and life-giving, and I pray that while these plans come to past, you would surround these two with your presence as they grow closer to you and each other. When temptation and trouble comes their way, God remind them that you are for them and that your Word is a weapon to fight against unseen opposition. Be with them, Lord. Bless them and shine your face upon them and be gracious to them.
Teach Marcus how to be there for his wife in this time, but also how to take care of himself well. Show him how to lean on you and to find the beauty in every situation. Teach Kristin how to be there for her husband during this time even as you teach her how to take care of herself well. Grow them to deeper intimacy and friendship together in this, God. Increase their capacity for love and forgiveness and patience with themselves and others. May Marcus and Kristin stand strong in spirit and may their hearts dance before you as they train their bodies to do the same! Abba, have your way on this channel and in Kristin's life. I love you
Amen
Very beautiful, may God bless them and you :)
So beautiful!!! Amen and God bless!!! ❤️
Amen, God bless :)
Amen! Such beautiful words, I prayed them along with you.
“Is it scandalous”😅😂 I love you kristin. Your funny without even trying to be funny!
Hahaha she’s so funny and she doesn’t know it 😂
Gaby Villa I agree !
Who else is so excited to see what God does in their lives now. The more they share this miracle they lived through the more people’s lives it will change Kristen and Marcus we love you!
Who else got emotional & felt like crying throughout this video😿😿😭✨🥺🥺
ME!! 😭 I still can’t believe this happened to them but so grateful they’re okay!!!
I'm angry at the man who did this to them.
We all pay for any evil we do. He will pay.
It just really makes you appreciate your health. When you think of an accident and when the reporters say “non life threatening injuries” and you’re just like okay good they’re alive. But really they have such a long road to recovery. Imagine if they had a 9-5 job too they couldn’t even go to work. I’m so thankful they are doing better and are so positive. Stay strong!

AngelChick03 thank you so much 🤗 I am healing! I’m kind of going through the same thing Kristen has been going through. Every day is different and sometimes sad always tired but I’m definitely healing🥰 thank you for asking ❤️

Kristin is such is a ray of happiness and sunlight, seeing her this sad rips my heart. Praying for a speedy recovery angel!

Hi Kristin, I’m so glad you’re recovering, nice to see you up walking, smiling & I love journaling too! May The Lord heal you wholly ♥️
I love how real you are now. Everything we go through makes us grow as people and open up wider and become more aware and conscious.

so freaking happy for you and marcus! it is just a blessing that you both are alive and well, and i would honestly watch a video of you sitting in your bed playing animal crossing 😂i have missed you and marcus SO MUCH!! truly, there is no pressure to post/update/film BUT just know that if you want to post a 40 minute video of you staring at a wall, i would watch it 😊love you guys so so much and praying for you always!
Your story has deeply moved me and is a beautiful reminder of God's goodness and closeness in the worst of times. You need to know Kristin that this story will change peoples lives and move others deeply. God is going to use this for so much more good than you can see right now, you do not know the ripple affect this will have on thousands of people. Blessings upon you!
“For I well know the thoughts that I am thinking toward you,’ declares Jehovah, ‘thoughts of peace, and not of calamity, to give you a future and a hope” - Jeremiah 29:11 💙💙
I had a pulmonary embolism a few years ago. It was caused entirely by birth control and it was really scary and I had a lot of mental health struggles afterwards. Your body is strong and you are doing great! Thank you for the updates, get well soon 🙂
As someone who loves working out - i can imagine that it’s frustrating that you can’t have your normal routine. I am so glad you guys made it through and I pray for a speedy recovery for you both!! Praying for those mountain climbers to be possible soon 😉
I totalllyyy understand being triggered by the video of you doing mountain climbers. I've been dealing with an injury for the past few months and in the beginning it was SO hard even driving past my gym or hearing friends talk about going hiking but it definitely gets easier and it is a real opportunity to appreciate our recovering bodies and all the amazing things it can do. You're going to recover and be your independent self in no time, but in the mean-time everything you are feeling is normal and will pass. Wishing you a speedy recovery
I'm so sorry this happened to you. Glad to see you are slowly recovering. I will keep you in my prayers 🙏 ❤
Missed you Kristin i pray that you have a speedy recovery. Thanks for being real and open with us as always. Sad days are so normal with all that you went through. I’m so happy that you are okay.
You’re such an inspiration. You remind me of Matthew 5:16 that talks about letting your light shine so that people see God through you, I can see God through you. I just feel like you radiate Jesus and it’s so incredible to see. Will continue praying for you and Marcus. In Jesus’ name, you won’t need more surgery. Love you. ❤️❤️ Keep getting better!
I legit cried when I saw the injury on your leg.... It made it all real and the pain that person caused both mentally and physically. You might heal physically from this but the trauma will always linger. I really hope you guys heal. You are the sweetest sools
If vlogging gives you any relief and makes things feel more normal, I know so many of us would watch even what you might think is mundane !💜 When you're back to everyday things, no matter how long it takes, we'll all be so much more appreciative. You and Marcus are so brave and it seems like your relationship has strengthened even more. You push me to see that God is real and explore more about my faith :)
Kristin, you are an inspiration. You have been my favorite youtube/influencer for years. I am so happy you and Marcus are alive and in recovery! You are my role model because I have gone through extreme emotional and physical trauma as well. When I was 9, my dad passed away from kidney failure. After he passed my siblings and I were checked to see if we showed any signs of the genetic disease he had. We found out that my brother, sister, and I all had the disease, and before we all turned 22, we all three had kidney failure and became disabled. Seeing you go through an experience that is physically and emotionally similar to me, and still praising God for letting you go through it inspires me. Now I praise God for my disability and hope I can inspire someone like you have for me. Thank you for being you, and sharing yourself with us!
this reminds me of my life right now. I just got hip surgery a week ago and I’ve just been in bed so I’m happy to know we are going through the same thing. good luck with your recovery girl. we GOT THIS !! 🙌🏼💗💗
Honestly just been crying and thanking God that yall are alive. You are so strong and will make it through! I honestly wouldn't have had the strength you have, don't feel discouraged, please. Videos like these I love, don't be hard on yourself, give yourself some credit that you are even uploading in general. You deserve the world queen praying that you make progress day by day, give yourself more credit, love you!
Doing amazing you too!
As a physio myself I just cant help but thinking you need a Kinetech. It would help you so so much with bending your knee.
I dont know of course, maybe you are using it already.. It is basically a machine that you put on the bed and bends your leg passively for you. Slowly and gradually, untill a certain degree that you can choose. Gives you soo much extra practice time!!
Good luck!
Have always been a silent viewer but so grateful to see that you are both on the mend!
By the time things are going to be “normal” again your going to be such a different person from everything that you’ve experienced that it won’t be the same but your definitely going to be a much stronger person for it 💕
Get well soon, Kristin and Marcus! Love you guys! ❤❤🌹🌹
It scares me that you have to be on pain killers and stuff, but as someone who has dealt with a tough physical situation like this myself, I understand they're a necessary evil during this difficult period! It helped me to log my daily dosages and to force rest days from the pain meds when it made sense to do so. Having a log will be helpful to ween off them eventually.
Anyway, sending all the positive vibes your way! Prayers, love, and all the good energy! Zap! Straight from my heart to you both! 🙏🏻
Glad to see how well you’re recovering!
I recently DM’d you on IG because I am currently in a similar condition to yours (except i’m stil in the hospital : ( and I’d love to chat to you about it all. So happy to see how much progress I have to look forward to when I see you now!! Stay strong!!
I send you a lot of love! I hope everything goes well!
You really really are blessed..My aunt was instantly killed going through a green light t-boned by a guy running a red going 70 (and the cop chasing him didnt have his sirens or lights on so my uncle ended up suing glendale az police & won) anyway she was a neonatal nurse and a pure angel & missed everyday. So the fact that you got hit by someone going that fast really had to be Him💙
Truly the most sweet and humble RUclipsr! ❤
Awe hunny! Praying for peace and healing (all the way around). Stay strong sweet girl!
Marcus: woah dude don’t show them all ur goods
🤣such a cute husband moment haha
Happy y’all are doing better!
Kristin just remember one day you’ll look back and be grateful for how far you’ve come. I broke my tibia last November and I would have the same rush of emotions thinking about being independent again and living my “normal” life. You will get there, keep working hard at your PT! Pain is so worth it when it’s working towards regaining your ROM! 💛
"Ew did you show them all your goods?" 🤣🤣
He said oooo not ew...
we love you Kristin and Marcus! praying for your recovery ❤️
Yay! Your back in business! Have a relaxing recovery! Praying for y’all 🤍
thank you for being so vulnerable with us! we love you so much!!🥺🤍 as simple as this video was, it was enjoyable just because i miss seeing you! love you kristin!! praying for you!
Missed you sooo much ♥️ wish you a full recovery! Sending so much love!!!!!!
You are so pure and are handing everything with such grace. Prayers your way for a speedy recovery.
we’ve missed you! so so glad you’re starting to heal. prayers for that 90 degree bend/more healing!! ❤️❤️
Oh my gosh, we missed you and you take as much time as you need to heal in every way you have to! THIS is real life. Seeing someone get knocked down and stand back up (literally), still have faith, and STILL smile. Not every day, but enough days to be encouraging to others. You’re a ray of sunshine, keep shining the light!!! GOD IS GOOD!
when my husband had his seizure, and couldn't drive, that feeling of losing his independence was the worst thing for him. i encourage you to make the most of this time, and despite losing such a massive element of who you are, there are so many things to be grateful for so keep going. and your independence will return
So glad you are back!! I have been going through the same thing with my depression.. it’s hard but you just have to remember “this too shall pass”💗 I’ve been going through this for about 4 1/2 years now and I have a rollercoaster of emotions daily.. I was a nurse before I was diagnosed with chronic nerve damage in my back and felt like my life was taken from me since I can’t work. It’s hard going from being really active, to pretty much bedridden.. but keep your faith because God has big plans for your life! You have an amazing testimony and you may not realize it but this accident has brought you closer to Him and has also brought others closer to Him! Praying for you daily! You’ve got this! Just keep reminding yourself that this is only temporary!
Mom is this scandalous? 😂 So happy to have you back Kristin!! We love you so so much and will keep praying for you both 💗💗💗
I'm so glad you're ok. Not many people survive those accidents. You had an angel with you 💛
Father God I'm humbly requesting that you will bless her body. Thank you for sparing their lives.
You are killing it, so proud of you! Praying for you, love you!
Kristin saying “COME ON” while the camera falls 😂 was so funny for some reason
I just discovered y'all. I am so happy y'all survived and are on the road to recovery. I love your vlogs. They are very honest and sweet. God bless you two sweet people. I'll keep y'all in my prayers for not just physical healing, but emotional healing, too.
I wish I could just give you a big hug Kristin! You are so strong and my heart goes out to you for all you're going through and dealing with right now.
You don't know how happy I got when I saw this video posted!!!! Missed you Kris 💕😍🙏
So proud of how far you’ve come!!! Been praying for a full recovery since I saw the post of the accident on Instagram. You and Marcus (and Jesus) are so strong!!💕
I’m new to your channel but I’ve been binging all your videos these past couple of days and they’ve been brightening up my day!! so happy you are back ❤️ praying for complete physical and mental healing!!!
Missed you so much on youtube😭😭. Glad to see you getting better, praying for you and Marcus's recovery 💗
she looks so comfy in the first part of the video,
also, I am so glad you two are okay! I will be praying for you! God is amazing
I’ve been listening to this song and it reminded me of your accident story. It’s a constant reminder of the goodness of God and his faithfulness.. thought I’d share. Promises (feat. Joe L. Barnes & Naomi Raine) - Maverick City 💛🌻.
You look like you’re doing so much better. I know your journey right now is a struggle, but you both are so strong and I know you’ll get through this. Be kind to yourself and know that it’s ok to struggle and have bad days. I wrecked when I was 17. I partially amputated my right foot, broke my right arm, fractured some ribs and my head went through the windshield. Those 12 months it took to recover were the hardest months of my life. I promise it gets better.
"this is a cute bedridden outfit" lol i remember saying that when i was bedridden too 😅
You can do it! I broke my knee in several places 10 moths ago, and I couldn't bend or straighten it at all for the first 3 months. I work as a fitness instructor and thought I would never instruct a class again. Now, 10 months later, I'm almost as good as knew. Hang in there! ❤️
"Mom, is it scandalous to film in a towel?!" 😂😂🤦♀️ Only Kristin
I had a knee surgery and could not bend at a 90 angle on my own. My pt told me to slide my leg off of my bed and let it drop multiple times a day to let it bend. It’s going to hurt a bit but it helps ! Bless you Kristin! 💕
The “come on” when your phone dropped made me laugh😂
Me too 😂 I had to rewind cuz it was too funny
Watching the way that you are navigating this insanely difficult season has really strengthened my faith. Thank you for being brave to share - I'm praying continually for more and more healing!! 💛
9:54 I heard the worry in your moms “WHAT” probably had her thinking you were passing out 😂 I’m a phlebotomist and will forever get that pit in my gut when someone yells for me from another room 😰
I had to look up your occupation but you have my nightmare career hahaha I could neverrrrr but I'm thankful there are people that can handle that type of stuff!
omg i didn't notice before but it made me 😰 when i listened again
Am I the only one who can’t hear it
Yessss as a nurse I second this
Anjelyn I’m really a lab tech! They just give us a phlebotomy certification, I promise you anyone can do it!
Probably my favorite vlog because of the realness. Not that the other videos are fake, but there’s just something about this that feels raw and true ❤️ Thank you for posting Kristin😌🌿💞
I’m dead “yes it’s scandalous put on a shirt” HAHAHA love you guys so glad you are getting better and back vloging!!
You guys inspire me so much not give up. I recently lost my grandfather because of covid and I felt like my world came down. Thanks for lifting me up in your guys obstacle in life, I know you both got this 💜☺️
“Is it scandalous to just have a towel on? - Yes..”
Also Kristin: continues filming with her towel on 😂
Ya'll's videos and vines got me through my homeschooling years and college!! I am so thankful you're both alive!!!!
So proud of how far you've come Kristin!! I believe that time really does heal and that day by day you'll get better and back to your "normal" self
Continuing to pray for you and Marcus. You are so strong! Don't feel pressure to vlog but appreciate when you do Kristin!
"I am leaving you with a gift - peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid." JOHN 14 : 27
Praying for you guys! You are doing awesome Kristen! Recovery is oftentimes worse than the accident itself. Prayers that God is with you and Marcus in this time. ❤️ You will get through this!
SO SO HAPPY YOU'RE BACKK! Who else missed Kristin vlogs??😭❤️
I am so happy that you are back on RUclips. I am from Germany and I love your videos!!!
So glad you all are doing better! ❤️
Plus love how you showed the Animal Crossing 😂 😂

Honestly you deserve an award for still shaving your legs through all this. I know that sounds so silly but I feel like it’s so hard to remember to do the small things to take care of yourself when something horrible has happened ...
laura gibson TRUE! 👍🌻👍
So nice seeing this pop up on my feed! Praying y’all continue to heal. Praying for peace, pain free days, and happiness 💛💛 believing in a 110% recovery, mentally and physically!
