I am a recent amputee, but I am also the father of a sweet little boy with Autism, ADHD, and OCD. This is my journey to a prosthetic, to getting back into better shape…along with our family’s journey through raising a child living with Autism, ADHD, and OCD.

Getting motivation to post anything has honestly been a challenge. The holidays and a trip to the hospital didn’t help.

How I died…the first time

Over the course of two days, I coded a total of eight time. This is the kind of amazing and lucky story of what led up to the first time.

Where Have I Been? The struggle is real

I haven’t posted in a while. Why? The short answer is I’ve been having serious issues coping with all of this mentally. Here’s what’s going on with me.
Our hard decision, Doctor visits, and spinning with Alex - Here’s a recap of last week
มุมมอง 1183 ปีที่แล้ว
Holy crap. Putting this video together has been hell! But here it is. I was running into storage and render issues. Anyway, Ami lets out an EPIC scream. I also got to see a couple of my doctors and have dinner with Buzz Lightyear. Here’s a look back at our week!
After this exchange, we had to explain death to a five-year-old
มุมมอง 693 ปีที่แล้ว
Death is hard for most adults to understand. Some of us have faith or their own ideas about what happens after we die. Alex has been dropping the word die a lot lately, telling both Ami and I we were going to die. We had enough, and explained what it really meant.
Staples and my pic line: Another week of doctor appointments.
มุมมอง 703 ปีที่แล้ว
I went to both my infection doctor and surgeon this week, with hopes to get the staples on my stump and my pic line gone. Here’s what happened! Plus, Alex gave our dog two packs of gum. Last, if you missed it an earlier video…the spot on the ceilling of our car is bbq sauce that the kid flung!
A Weekend Out: Tires, Toys, and a Park
มุมมอง 483 ปีที่แล้ว
For the first time since my surgery, I got out for something other than a doctor appointment. First stop? Walmart. Catch a bit of silly Alex action - plus a power outage.
First appointments - plus a dramatic Alex meltdown!
มุมมอง 993 ปีที่แล้ว
It was first appointment week! I went to both my prosthetist and my surgeon’s office this week…and Alex tagged along for both visits. Here’s how they went - plus one of the most hilariously dramatic five-year-old meltdowns you will ever see.
I had a really bad weekend
มุมมอง 1013 ปีที่แล้ว
I’ve been called brave, strong, and a motivation for my attitude. This weekend, I felt like none of the above. I fell on my surgical site twice…and spent most of Sunday in tears.

Taking My First Step - An Amputation story
มุมมอง 5003 ปีที่แล้ว
Do you ever feel like you have a story to tell…and maybe that story could help inspire people? This is the (beginning) of our story. My name is Chris, a recent amputee with an autistic five-year-old. This video is a little look at the thoughts behind my amputation.
He just wants a relationship with us! He doesn't want religion or denominations. He loves to fellowship and be with us that is why He came. Love that you were given time in the Spirit.
Hi, whatever you do ,don't go to a medium, I have seen so many NDE testimonies, and almost all of them were what I believe an encounter with the Lord, I believe this is Christ way of connecting with you and bringing him to your attention, in the book of Job, he speaks of God whispering in our ears while we sleep, find a church and get to know him, I recommend Frank Turek, John Samuel Barnett, two pastors that are intelligent and well informed, you know the adversary can come as a angel of light and be very deceiving, I encourage you to check these two men out, you'll find them on TH-cam. I'm so glad you came out of a very dangerous episode in your life, I also believe that the Lord gives us many chances,because he knows who are his! God bless you and Fam.
Really hard to listen to. Ugh
He lost me at he still isn't convinced in god
Jesus says that "He is the way, the truth and the life. No one can go to our Heavenly Father, except through Him. I am glad you did not stay so you can find Jesus and ask Him into your heart. He will wash away all of your sins (wrong doings) to make you righteous and perfect before God our Father.
Why is it that 99.09 per cent of these stories are recounted by Americans and not Europeans.
Just found you. Subbed. You are awesome!
I fyou really want to know ALL about God, get a Bible - I prefer the New American Standard Version, and read Genesis and Exodus in the Old Testament. Then go to the New Testament and start reading in Matthew. Romans is a good book in the New Testament to learn how to grow in your relationship with God. The Bible says that Jesus is the ONLY WAY to God. In the book of Timothy 2:5 says There is ONE mediator between God and man - the Man Christ Jesus.
Did it feel in a sense like you were going home or familiar? Did you feel a sense of conectivness with everyone and everything? Was it more real than here?
Thank you , please know you are Unique and Loved ! God Bless you 🙏💜
You should develop the skill to go out of your body at night (astral projection) - the world between worlds.. i saw your other video about your NDE and you said you are open to learn and hear more about the spiritual world. Start with a guy named Michael Raduga. He has a clip on youtube called: how to leave your body in three days... you can share your experience with us it will be really appreciated :)
Have you maybe lost a baby early on? Does your wife dye her hair? Maybe it was your current family, but in their perfect state?
If you have something that you really want in your life, spend lots of time thinking about it. The more you think the more ideas will pop up the more creative your gonna start to get. Your subconscious mind doesn't care if your vision is crazy. It doesnt care if you dont know how to do it. When you see a thing clearly in your mind, your creative "success mechanism" within you takes over and does the job much better than you could do it by conscious effort or willpower. A different psychedelic from a different planet every nanosecond. All sorts of dreams are possible. The human nervous system cannot tell the difference between an "actual" experience and an experience imagined vividly and in detail. Synthesize "experience," to literally create experience, and control it, in the laboratory of our minds. A vision is a very emotional image, the most powerful image that you can come up with for yourself at this time. This vision will become like a hallucination in other peoples mind and this could be the cause of them creating extraordinary things.
I love this video. When you were in that field, is that where you had this other life? Or were you in that field and there remembering the other life? Or did you start out in the field and then slip into that other life? I'm really glad that you're sharing your experience.
I started in the field. It was a completely different place than the other life. Both seemed peaceful…or I guess the better way to describe it would be not scary.
Chris, I’d love to interview you if you’re interested. I’ll send you a message on Facebook 😊
Dont go to a psychic. Pray about this.
Glad your ok now, maybe try hypnosis to see if you can remember that other life? Remember to give your son as many hugs as you can and tell him you love him, he would have been so afraid for you same with your wife. Blessings on you and your family .
Please know you went to Heaven. It's common to hear from people who have NDE's that they experience open fields. Please read the bible, come to believe in Jesus and his Holy Father and pray. You will know then the answers.
You should check out Bernardo Kastrups work on youtube. He’s a very logical philosopher/scientist/bright guy who can explain this sort of experience while staying away from religion/overly spiritual means.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Did you gain 100% trust in God such that everything is ok and we don’t have to fear death and worry so much here on earth? Do you fear death after your experience or does it make you feel more brave about living life such that you live life to the fullest now? Thanks
Study the Bible and Jesus will answer your questions.
I love when you said "did I just say all that jazz?" Lol! You did great. I love hearing these experiences. I believe 💯! This is amazing. They are both real!
I was going to add that Anita Moorjani had a very in-depth near death experience while she was in a coma dying from cancer. It was her last hours, but she knew every single thing that was going on around her, and an expanse of knowledge that just kept getting bigger. She saw that she had lived past lives, but this was all happening simultaneously because there's no time. Anyway, she had cancer the size of grapefruits all over her body for a couple years leading up to when she went into the hospital, lesions all over her body, and they told her family she was going to die that these were her last hours. During her nde she saw her best friend who had died two years earlier and her dad who she had a tumultuous relationship with and both of them basically gave her the message that now that you know who you truly are you can choose to go back and live your life fearlessly. And she also understood at that moment that if she went back, the cancer would be healed. And the cancer was healed! Within 3 weeks they couldn't find any cancer in her body. Doctors from all over the world have flown to Hong Kong to look at her medical records. She has a TH-cam channel, she's spoke all over telling her story and I advise anyone that likes these kind of stories and needs an uplift about what happens to us when we die to go listen to her story!!
Alex... just pee in the shower! As long as it is not clogged up and drains!! Anyways, I spend a lot of time listening to people's NDE's and I have always had a weird interest in death/dying/afterlife.. I grew up and worked in a funeral home so I'm assuming that is where this fascination came from. Luckily I'm no longer in the field (and much happier) but am still really fascinated by people's experiences. I look forward to hearing more from you. I feel like we share the same "spiritual but not really religious" viewpoint and I came across this video th-cam.com/video/z7JmmJVKoyM/w-d-xo.html that I feel really hits the nail on the head as far as why we are here. I figured I'd share it and see if you take anything away from it. Obviously one reason you are here is to raise your son and share your story.
It bewilders me how anyone, man or woman, can witness the beauty of their own child being born, being pulled out of the womb & placed in the loving bossom of its mother can have any doubt that there's a God at play in the universe.
Love your humility. You don’t come back telling everyone you now know the answers to all off our existential questions. Bless you, man.
Thank you. Yeah, I mean the fact is I just don’t. My thing is it felt amazing as it was. There’s no news to make it something it’s not.
Im just wondering if you give much thought about the experience and vivid memory that you had of sitting around the dining table with your family? My thought is, perhaps you were shown this because it would be beneficial for you and your family to do this now. Even a few times a week. Its a good time to talk as a family and keep the lines of communication open. I felt sad when you mentioned that you would sit in front of the tv at dinner or your six yr old ate in his room. When my kids were young we did sit around the table for meals. Something to consider. Thank you for sharing your experience. I wish you and your family well.
We for sure have our family time. We use the table for crafts or games several times each week - we just don’t eat there. But with that said, I don’t disagree with you.
Chris: May God give you clear thinking about your experience. Please listen to what I am saying here: Don't go to a Psychic it will do you great damage: Go to God through Jesus Christ and everything will come clear to you. I can say I love you and only wish the best for you in your one life here and now.
I just commented the same thing. Psychics are work of the devil
That's your belief, but not everyone's and beliefs aren't facts.
@@mygirldarby no it's a fact, Jesus is the only way for salvation and he can speak to you if you ask him to with a humble heart and trust in what he did for you ✝️🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing. Keep sharing. Please. Also bring in more of you your humor. Sp more about your wonderful wife/life partner! ❤️
Great video. Great message. Can't wait for more. Would be super interested in your wife's perspective as well. I know struggling with mental health issues is tough but you are doing great. Reaching out. Sometimes you just need to unload stuff from your mind and hopefully there is someone out there who is listening cares and it helps them too. Communication is key. Those of who struggle and are understanding of why we struggle should be sharing with others so they can understand better too. Keep up the good work. Sometimes it's just ripples in a pond but if you reach people with a good and positive message about overcoming obstacles 1 person can create ripples of their own and so on.
I will for sure tell it from her perspective. She kept a notebook while it was happening. One of the times I coded she had to hear it all go down while on the phone with a doctor. She has a heck of a story to tell too.
Can't wait to hear more! I haven't finished watching all your videos but I keep wondering why as a young person did you end up with that medical crisis? What did the doctors say was your diagnosis or the reason why you had to go through this?
Edit. I keep hearing in your videos that you coded times and the horrific aftermath but what caused that?. Is there a video that would tell me? I'm still trying to catch up. Lol
I stumbled across a video of yours and now im in a rabbit hole of your videos trying to catch up. We definitely do need to talk about mental health more and you have a real voice for it. I saw some of my struggles in yours and listening to you makes more sense to me about me. .if that makes sense. If it doesn't ... I'll say it's a good thing. Lol. I call it doing our mental homework. Please keep posting content. About all the things. You have a big purpose here in this world. And a beautiful family to help and be involved in your amazing journey.. In my opinion you have a great message with alot of real life experiences to back it up. I think you're a terrific role model. Keep up the good work! I think alot of people Need to hear your messages. And I wish you the best success getting your voice out there. Thanks for sharing
Wim hof breathing will fix your body my friend
You can do zoom call passed life regression, that sounds much more inline with nde most psychics are fake or cons
My Friend, i almost lost my foot,but I sister told me about WIM HOF BREATHING METHOD,yes simple breathing search his name on youtube and add breathing method and it only takes 10 minutes. The very first time you will feel better it helps the body get your blood moving and heals the acid in the blood so your PH is better.please please try it
Please my brother, ask God to show himself to you if He is real. Your spirit will bear witness, in time perhaps, that He is more than real! We can never be good enough to go to heaven this is why Jesus took on all of our sins to wash us clean. I believe God gave you a second chance to be here for a reason. Please surrender and ask Jesus to walk with you and forgive all of your sins and change anything in you He wants to change. Thank you my friend for talking on her. Much love and peace to you, Brenda
So he died and went to the afterlife yet has no belief in Jesus. The safety was the lord.
He said he saw angels and still does believe wow
This is just a suggestion and certainly not a judgment, however, a thought popped up in my mind when you mentioned that you'd been a butcher in another incarnation, that it may be a karma connection relating to what has happened with your leg. I'm a firm believer that, among many other things, we humans are here in this world of suffering to rise above the act of killing, stealing and eating the flesh of other sentient beings, and that everything that happens, good and bad, while we're here are the good and bad effects of our good and bad past, present and future good and bad causes...
Interesting story, thank you for sharing.
Sounds like up made it up as you go along......
Eh. Not so much. Sorry if you don’t believe me but I’m not making it up.
Chris, ignore people like that.
I heard if you got a blood transfusion or an organ from somebody you can pick up their memories.
What a delusional person this is. I don’t know if he really believes the crap he is talking about or just intentionally lying. Jesus Christ died and rose again for us all, even him. He is going off script because he’s making things up as he continues his fairytale. It is appointed to man to die ONCE. God did not create us to die then return and try and convince others of the afterlife He gave us.
I thank you for your unscripted honesty 🙏
ya know, dude, ill just say this. cuz i dont know jack about anything, im just a regular nobody. but try this. why not...? you have literally nothing to lose, much to gain, and you can easily do it in private over the course of a few minutes. go to your room/a place of privacy. try to pray. act like you're talking to god, tell em you just ask that he reveals himself to you. thats all ya gotta do. genuinely mean it, sincerely, when you do this, but hey its pretty easy. if something happens, you will know. only in the way that you yourself could
Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life. Please please please seek Him. He wants to know you, and He loves you.
Thank you for sharing your story. I hope you and your family are doing well. Best wishes for this new year. ❤
You’re welcome! All the best to you too!!
Ask God to give you revelation regarding what you experience and what you saw. Look for God in prayer or conversation and he will explain it to you. God has a purpose and plan for you but you must find your purpose in him Please do not go to a psychic( darkness) Go to God( light) in prayer, he has the answer and get ready to hear his voice. God bless.
Interesting, and sounded like a pleasant experience. Let's hope it's like that for everyone and that it's not tied to religion because then a good portion of people are screwed.
Brah if you didnt see Jesus Christ you didnt have a NDE. You would see JESUS and you would be more than ‘convinced’. Seek the Lord dude
