    Andrea you are a special lady. They say third time is a charm. So much you’ve been through. You are Beautiful and Dan is a Stud! You deserve each other. God brought you both together. Wow 6 kids! I had a hard time with one. You both have beautiful kids. You are so strong. Dan is also. Enjoy your life together. Live, Love and Laugh! Thank you for sharing your story. Blessings 🙏😇🥰.

      Yes she is. I love her n DAN. HE'S a wonderful guy. To bad there's just one of him, or we could put a order in for another him. When I see him in pain, I actually cry for him. Then I have to stop n that's the hard for me to do. IT'S like I feel his pain n Andrea's pain. When he puts the kids in pain in they're cribs n don't hurt them from moving to do THAT is AMAZING 😍🤩😉😉.

    Andrea you are just crushing it as a family. I was married to my sweet heart for 10 amazing years then he passed and I had to raise my daughter without him. When she saw that his fingers didn’t work at 9 months old (he was a quadriplegic C 4-5 but acted like 5-6) she would wait until he had ahold of whatever it was until he could hang on. She never knew anything other than that was her daddy. I met him years after his injury but knew he was the man Heavily Father had meant for me and I for him. It was the most amazing life being together. Not always easy but so wonderful. I miss him every day and it was 22 years since we lost him. He impacted everyone he met in the most positive way❤️. May the Lord continue to bless you all❤️

I am so sorry for all the bad they’ve been through but I am happy that her & Dan found each other. They complete each other. I pray for them and I’m so happy that they are having so much success with their channel.

    I am praying for you and your family. My husband had a subarachnoid cerebral hemorrhage in 2012. He was 40 yrs old. He had an aneurysm that burst in the frontal lobe of his brain and it caused a massive stroke. He had to learn how to walk, talk, eat, and many other things all over again. We have 4 children and our youngest at the time was 12 yrs old. When he came home from the hospital, he didn't recognize much of anything and at one time he wasn't even able to speak, for almost 2 months. All of our children unfortunately had to grow up very quickly, because I didn't have any help from family or friends. Our children are amazing and I don't think I could have gotten through it all without them by my side. In 2017 my husband unfortunately had a 2nd stroke(eschemic stroke), which set him even further back in his recovery. He has had over 300 grand mall seizures since the 1st stroke and has been hospitalized multiple times. He has many deficits and each day is something new, be it good or bad, but we get through it with GOD by our side. We are high school sweet hearts and have been married for 32 yrs. I have been his caregiver, and there are times when I want to give up, but then I tell myself that he would do this for me. He's always been a wonderful husband and father. I have diabetes and need a knee replacement soon or I won't be bale to walk much longer, but I've put it off for many reasons. I now know that I need to take care of myself also. Keep staying strong and never give up on your faith in The LORD. You are a strong woman and your children see this. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

    I love watching wheelchair Dad and the family. I was in a wheelchair for a year. My husband would laugh at me vacuum cleaning the floors. I had difficulty trying to do house work or move my chair from RA. My husband stated he didn't want to live with a cripple. That hurt my feelings. I forgave him as Jesus has forgiven me. I'm walking again with a new knew but my other knee has to be fixed. I praying for a miracle. I love watching your family and the love you have for each other. Blessings.

When u said if there was anything u want ur kids to remember is that you were a woman of faith.....etc....it struck a nerve with me because I feel the exact same way... it's such a struggle because they grow into adulthood and sometimes the faith isn't front and center anymore for them....but as long as they remember how i lived with Jesus in front and my faith and we think that as long as we are strong our children will be too but sometimes it doesnt stay in front....my kids are all grown but I believe the ones who have set faith aside...It has a chance to survive in this crazy world.....blessings to u and for all your hardships and decisions of the past be at peace ..much love ❤️ to you and Dan and the children many blessings

We lived in Japan for 5 years where a second set of twins and a singleton were born. We moved state side several times and then we moved to Turkey for 4 years. By the time my dad retired , after serving 33 years our family would grow to 11 siblings including a 3rd set of twins. I sure miss all the traveling. We had a wonderful childhood and memories.

And no one should judge another person, because only the one who was in this situation, only the one who had this experience can really understand what it means to be in such an experience. So hats off to your courage to master your life in this way. Bravo! I wish you and your family the best. 😊☀️❤️

    Thank you Jim! I am so glad you did this! I knew Andrea was a strong lady, today you allowed her to be titanium!!!
    No one can fault her for letting her second husband go, I was an Air Force medic and I know about TBI’s, unfortunately the person is not the same after, and every case is totally different, so in Andreas second husband case it sounds like she was no longer his. So instead of staying in what would have turned out to be a bad marriage, she had to set them both free, totally understandable!!!

    I feel two ways about this. Its good shes happy and has done the best for her children, esp if husband no 2 was unfaithful. But I can’t help wondering if he wonders where she’s gone, if he’s capable of wondering that and if his son ever goes to see him or thinks about him. It just seems heartbreaking to me for him to be in a home, having lost his family.
    Part of the marriage vows is in sickness and health and I wonder if Dan were to need full time care in a similar way, whether he would be left.

    I hate the name "Wheelchair Dad". He is much more than the damn chair!

      I totally get it! My husband is amazing and not defined by his disability or his wheelchair 😊. However, when Dan was injured 9 years ago, he sat in his hospital bed and searched the internet for anything to give him hope that life could still be worth living after being paralyzed. He found NOTHING inspiring. He felt extremely hopeless. Our dream has been to put content out there that shows newly injured people (and anyone else) that there IS hope and lots of life that can be lived after tragedy. In order to reach those people that NEED our videos, I have to put the words “paralyzed” and “wheelchair” right up front so that the RUclips algorithm, Google, etc. show it to those searching with those words. So, “The Wheelchair Dad” works perfect for what our goals are. ❤️

      Yes I totally agree with you. Dan is showing us every day how to be “differently abled”. In order to make it easier for those searching for hope and help (in coping with being wheelchair bound/ paraplegic), Andrea and Dan purposely use those very words to facilitate finding their channel. Hope this helps you. 😊

      @@TheWheelchairDad I understand that and am not downing you for using it. I hope you didn't take it that way. You have a great family and are very blessed. I don't think I could handle things as well as you guys.

      As Andrea told some time before she wanted people to find the vlog through the word wheelchair. It’s not to define Dan.
