I thought I'd share two videos with you tonight, perhaps to remind you of the great big God that we serve, and to renew your faith in miracles.
The first video is from April of this year. Brady was done with treatment and had his surgery just weeks before. He was just over 2 years old and was taking his first steps with only traces of new hair on his cute little head. We shared this video back then, but in order to see how far we've come, we need to remember where we started! Turn your sound on, and click the link below:

And now for proof that miracles happen! Here is Brady a few days ago in one of his silly Brady moods. He was running through the house, jingling a bell, and singing Jingle Bells over and over. He, like many 2 year olds, sometimes confuses lyrics. Instead of hearing, "Jingle Bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to ride in a one----horse---o---pen---sleigh," Brady heard "Jingle Bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, door open!" Ha! Oh, and there is a short clip of Allie at the beginning of this video. She was walking around with Cara's baby doll and I couldn't believe how she was mothering it! And you will notice Brady trying to get on camera in the background.

Now does that look like a boy who was almost completely paralyzed by a spinal tumor to you?
Thank you Brady for being my daily reminder of what God can do. And thank you Matt for getting these videos up for us:)
Amen! Alleulia! Thank you God!
ReplyDeleteOur Georgia walked at 2 years and 50 weeks. Although that is 3-1/2 years ago now, I NEVER fail to praise God for her ability to walk. The medicos said she 'should walk' or 'probably will walk'. I didn't want that. I wanted CAN walk. And she can.....it just happened in 'Georgia-time'.
And on days like today when she tested my patience to the point of tears of frustration, I be grateful for all she CAN do and just ignore what she can't. It'll happen.....in 'Georgia-time'.
Awesome video Meagan, he looks wonderful and very busy. Yes he is a living breathing, walking, talking, singing, running miracle. I continue to thank God daily for his complete healing and I know God will do it. Thank you for sharing. Prayers continue for you all.
ReplyDeleteI watched the latest video and laughed and cried at the same time. How beautiful :) Door open!

Love, Deb R.
First what a special memory you captured of Brady, a classic for sure. Second, how beautiful it is to see how far he has come. Praise God and we will continue to pray for his complete healing. Enjoy this Christmas with your energetic family!
