I am 22 years old (almost)and was dxd with epilepsy 5 years ago after being kicked in the head by my horse while preparing for a grand prix show overseas....I recovered fully, Praise the Lord and got on with my life....Then, I left for college in Aug of 2001 and only 2 months into my 1st semester in college, I had my first seizure....I learned to cope and although I was mad at the Lord, I learned to feel those feeling, give it over to him and still glorify him in what I WAS capable of doing and not focus on what I could no longer do.
Then 2 years ago I was dxd with a debilitating muscle movement disorder (generalized dystonia) and within just a few months and numerous visits to the hospital, I was w/c bound. For 18 months, I lived while sitting...I could walk in my walker but only for a short amount of time. I basically spent a ffull year in and out of various hospitals doing tets, seeing speciailists ect. My prognosis was very poor.
My miracle happened on January 5th of THIS year at 11:03 am. I told my mom while she was home for lunch I felt like I wanted ot TRY to walk....she looked at me like I had lost my noodles...but she agreed and humored me...she held my hands and I started walking! I eventually let go of her and STUNNED and amazed, I have never stopped walking since that beautiful, glorious morning. I had been in p/t, but he was shocked and had no exp-lanation, and a short while after, my foot drop had corrected, and I could walk with NO brace...!!!!!! I have a normal gait once again, there is NO sign of the dystonia, and the Drs have NO medical explanation!!!!!
For years we had been praying for a miracle and for the Lord's will to be shown in my life and that I may display whatever it is he wants me too...I just had NO IDEA it was a physical miracle such as this. I am now able to go to the beach, feel that warm beautiful sand wiggle between my toes, and watch God's beauty first hand in a way none of us thought was possible after this dx...I live my life as every day is a miracle and I am so blessed and grateful to have yet another place to share my story of God's faithfulness in my life.

praise be to sweet Jesus, Kelly! i geuss you answered my question about you being a nurse. you were a pt!
have you met alex? how wonderful if you could go and tell him your story. it is amazing! did the hit on the head cause you to later develop this dx? kinda a latent manifestatioin?
did you go on to college? ever consider a career in therapy?
cant wait to hear "the rest of the story" as paul harvey would say.[ ofcourse you are too young to know what i am talking about]
thank you,lord for the refreshing gift of this young lady. amen

YES! PRAISE BE TO JESUS! No, I am not a nurse or a p/t, I am still a college student and I live on the coast in California...so I have never met Alex, but pray one day the Lord will allow our paths to cross. It sure did knowck me over the head when I got dxd...My neck was always jerking and I was always in pain, but had no idea why until I met someone with dystonia, and things started to make sense...Boy, let me tell you how mad I was at God at first, but looking back on the situation, I am not sure I would of changed a thing as I am a TOTALLY different person in Christ since going through that storm. I am a speech communications major but am praying about switching to kinesiology....I have sevral friends in the field and since I was healed, I have a huge interest in it...we will see what the Lord has in store.
I come from a family of non believers and I have been saved for 6 years now and my brother came to Christ at a camp 2 years ago....So it is a powerful testimony for my parents ot witness such an event with no explanation from the Drs! My father is a hospital administrator and had worked at several childrens hospitals in prior years and I do have a heart for these kiddos and pray that whatever God's will is, he would use my passion and not let me "stand in the way" of HIS plans! Amen!
Everyday is a miracle, every breath is another opportunity to praise Jesus, every smile is another chance to witness to a lost soul, and I pray that is what my life would be about...What a blessing it is to be a child of the most hight King!
Much love,
kel~
