Wanna See a Miracle?
I've put together a little video showing the progress that 7 of 8 has made as she continues to recover from the effects of neonatal stroke. Be sure and turn on your audio so you can hear the my narration of 7 of 8's therapy and recovery.

ReplyDeleteLove getting to see the progress of your sweet 7 of 8!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

How exciting! She is doing great! I will continue to pray for complete healing and recovery. It was so cool hearing the voice of Octamom and seeing your family in action :0) You should post videos more often.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. What a testament to prayers, hard work, lots of love and perseverance. She is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThat's so wonderful! I'll bet it has a lot to do with all those sibs who are helping out!
ReplyDeleteI love the knee crawling! My #5 did that forever. The knees on her pants were frightful.
I could watch that all day! It is so wonderful that she is doing so well. I will pray for her to just keep getting better and better. :o)
ReplyDeleteWow great she looks so cute.I can't wait to see the next video and all of the progress she is making.
ReplyDeletewhat a great video. God is great...
ReplyDeleteWay to go 7 of 8! She is a little doll.
ReplyDeleteShe looks great! I love to hear stories like this - she is doing so well. And it was fun to hear your voice too :)
ReplyDeleteYay for 7 of 8!!!
ReplyDeleteI love how her brother was "walking" on his knees in the background just like her. Gotta love twins!
Wow!! That is fantastic and truly a miracle...God is good:)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to see! Always a blessing when persistence pays off. And those cross body motions are so important for developing little brains.
ReplyDeleteWay to go 7 of 8!
What a wonderful video...she looks like she is ready to take on the world! You have a beautiful family...
ReplyDeleteIt was also really fun to hear your voice...made everything more real!
Have a fantastic weekend!
Wonderful, Wonderful and WONDROUS!!!!
ReplyDeleteCelebrating the miracle with you...and 7 of 8. :)
How wonderful! Thank you for sharing. I love videos. This one gave me a lift today. Needing that.
ReplyDeleteHow AMAZING!! That really made me happy!! Here's to continued theraputic success!! Go 7 of 8!!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing 'my' baby girl soing so well-wish I was there to love on her and you too! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeletelove ~j
praise God for his faithfulness and your daughters growth and progress. what a blessing:)
ReplyDeleteOh how awesome for 7 and all of you :) Not only a testament to the power of prayer but also the love your family has and shares :) She is (as we say) "a cracker!" That little lady will go far :)
ReplyDeleteHugs to you all.
And how great to "hear you!!"
Precious! What a sweet family you have! I'll be praying for 7's progress.
ReplyDeleteThat is SO wonderful!!! =)
ReplyDeleteI became a follower today and look forward to future posts!
That is wonderful. Thank you for sharing this. She is so precious and such a hard little worker. I work in PT myself and there is nothing more rewarding that seeing our patients make progress.
ReplyDeleteYOU ARE AMAZING! I know how hard it is to rise above a difficult situation. We are given two choices, feel sorry, sad, angry etc..or get up each day and fight to make things better! That fight is NOT easy. We may make it look that way but every minute of every day is a difficult journey. BUT, man does it pay off!
ReplyDeleteI am crying while writing this because my heart goes out to you and I understand how much love, support and work you must put into overcoming this. I work daily to overcome my tragedy and challenges. I have found that while something terrible happened in my life it has made me into such a stronger, happier, deeper, wiser person.
God Bless you and your wonderful family!

Praise The Lord and keep it coming 7 of 8!
ReplyDeleteI had a friend in GA whose son had a stroke within 24 hours of birth. They said he'd never be "normal." Doesn't the Bible say don't tempt the Lord thy God?? Braden is Fully Healed. As "normal" as little boys come.
Our God Is Mighty To Save.
Blessings, Whitney
Yay! So happy to see that she's doing what she should be. Such a relief when things happen, maybe not in our time, but in God's time, all will be well.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't realized that one of your twins had suffered a stroke in utero. My twin daughter, Emma, did as well and it effected her right side. Her twin brother also has CP, which turned out to actually be more severe than Emma's stroke.
It really is AMAZING how well a baby's brain can recover from these types of injuries. It looks like your little girl is going to amaze everyone just as much as Emma amazed everyone here.
Well done to her and you :)
That is so good that she is making so much improvement. I'll definately keep her in my prayers and pray that she makes more improvements.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see! I am happy for all of you that she is making progress. My boys asked a lot of questions about it - since they saw the video with me. It has been a neat conversation and now they want me to let them know when there is another update on her!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this learning experience!
Yay! Go seven-of-eight! And all the other of-eights! And Octomom! And Mister Octomum! Positive vibes coming attcha from Oxford!
ReplyDeleteShe is doing great! It's really fun to see her in action. My youngest 2 did the "army" crawl so long I was beginning to wonder... I just thank God for 7of8s complete healing in Jesus' name. To Him be all the glory. She is so lucky to have her family helping and praying and supporting her.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for 7 of 8 and your entire family. What a blessing. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
ReplyDeleteI am overjoyed at her progress! This really did bring a tear to my eye (and down my cheek). I love how proud you are of her, and how you see that this is a miracle. God is so good. Maybe it is just because I am an OT or maybe because I am a mom...this really touches me!
ReplyDeleteCutest video! Amazing progress. Way to go #7!
ReplyDeleteYay! I was at school when I got the notice and could only read what you wrote and not see the video (blocked) so I was very happy to be able to see it when I got home. I'm sure you are feeling so blessed right now. Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeletewhat a sweetie pie!
ReplyDeleteShe's doing so good!!! That's awesome. Congrats! It's a lot of hard work. Must make you cry! Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. It's been a crazy day!
ReplyDeleteThat was really awesome and I'm so glad I decided to wait until tonight where I could turn up the volume and really listen to it. Thank you for sharing that. It was nice to hear your voice too. You sound as sweet as you look.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea to post this on youtube for others to see that when you work hard as you have there can be positive results!
ReplyDeleteThe whole blog community is cheering for 7! I am sure she can feel the outpouring of love we have for her........we are all very touched and humbled by your family......lovely to hear your voice too.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Peggy
Aww..wow...amazing.
ReplyDeleteWill continue to pray!
7 is just so precious. It's wonderful to see her strengthening that left side and crawling through the tunnel. I know it's been hard work for all of you, but what wonderful things you've done to help her. She is a little miracle, but so are you Octamom. :) You're all in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteYay!!! My son had two small strokes when he was a newborn... he's a little weak on his right side and he never crawled...
ReplyDeleteHearing loss and strokes... what else do we have in common I wonder....
What a great happening! Congrats 7 of 8. :)
ReplyDeleteHooray for your Sweet Seven! She is darling and how exciting for you to see such progress! (Fun to hear your voice too!)
ReplyDeleteVictory sweet babe!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful family my friend..
I'm so glad to hear the rest of the world is catching up to her. :-)
Blessings!
