Thank you guys for all of your love, prayers & support during this crazy time. We are working so hard everyday to heal - it’s going to be a long journey ahead but we are so excited for the future! 💛🙏🏼
Y’all have already come so far since that first post on Instagram a little over a month ago! Y’all bring so much positivity to the world and we are so happy you’re both still here. Happy to see y’all feeling better and wish you a speedy recovery! ❤️
All Glory to God that you both are alive and recovering 🙌🏽 absolutely horrific. When Kristin talked about how everything went to fast and yet so slow ... I know the feeling ! I also had a car coming directly towards me a day after my birthday & hit my leg & weirdist thing is that at the moment I didn’t feel pain !!!! I couldn’t walk for a month. A reminder that we NEVER know when it life can be over & how the devil tries to ruin our faith & peace. Again , SO HAPPY you guys are alive & thriving. NEVER forget the thank god for everyday & pray over you’re bike , the roads, car, etc because the devil tries anything!
Yes, truly God's 👼 angel's were surrounding you that horrible day. As the saying goes, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and it's very true. I broke my femur at 60 (2015), while visiting my husband in the hospital recovering from a brain stem stroke. My husband did recover. Like you, Kristen, the full extent of the pain did not hit me right away. What I remember most was hearing my bone break as I went down. Definitely something I hope to NEVER hear again. The worst part for me was my husband witnessing all of it. The first year was the hardest for me. My break was right at the knee, the screws kept me from bending my left leg very far. After the year bench mark I went in and had 2 screws removed. Within a month, I could bend my leg again, without pain. Last year, at 64 (2019), my dog tripped me, I fell and broke my left hip at the same place as yours. For me it was a breeze, guess I received some strong blessings this time. I needed as my husband finally passed the year before. My left leg will never be as strong or dependable as my right, but at 65 now, I know how truly blessed I am. I'm extremely mobility and agile, not going to let a cpl of breaks slow me down.....lol I didn't have the horrific trauma you experienced that so much more onto your physical and mental recovery. However, You're both young and healthy, your bones will grow strong again. In a year (if not much sooner) I'll lay down odds you'll be back to your busy active lives. So happy you are both recovering and staying positive, as it's everything. Much love and many prayers 🙏♥️🙏♥️ sent your way. God bless....
Yup! With the police engaging in high speed pursuits in densly populated areas putting drivers and pedestrians lives at risk...a helmet can help! Police killed a girl I went to uni with during the pursuit of another vehicle. She was crossing the road in a bus interchange, usually inaccessable to regular cars/traffic, when the police car plowed straight into her.
Did anyone else’s check up on them literally all the time? I was genuinely so concerned and i am so incredibly happy they are ok Edit: thank you guys for the likes! I’m so glad you guys feel the same. Even if we don’t know them personally it affected us like it was our own family. ❤️
I would check her Instagram stories EVERY single day and if she didn’t post anything I’d get so worried. But also the night it happened I was a bit worried that something was up because she never posted anything about her sourdough
As a registered nurse, I am outraged that the care team missed your hip fracture and then the PE. That is absolutely absurd because a hip fracture and a PE are both obvious things to diagnose with very simple tests especially considering recent trauma. Moreover, the signs and symptoms seen with PEs and hip fractures are often textbook. The fact that you continued to work with physical therapy to bear weight on your fractured hip could have caused further injury. Even worse, had the PE traveled it could have been easily fatal at the hands of that hospital. I am so sorry but I am in genuine disbelief over your experience. On the upside, I am very glad that it worked itself out, and that you both survived with no neurological trauma. What a miracle that is.
Marycate Hamele they can’t sue for the fracture caused in the original accident; however, if something changes about the fracture because of failure to provide proper treatment then they might have a case. Regarding the blood clot, they may be able to file a malpractice suit if they can show with the help of a lawyer that there was negligence and that this was the direct cause of the blood clot. But there’s probably more to it than I may be aware of since I work directly in patient care and not on the legal side of things
That is really scary. We have to make sure doctor listen to us and always follow your instincts . If something hurts make them do tests etc. just in case. I don’t care if they think its annoying I will Complain until they do something.Better safe than sorry
Claire B my 8 year old got viciously attacked by a dog and was in the er for 13 hours getting treatment. The sedation they tried to use on him (they pushed iv sedation no less than 7 times) did not work because of all of the adrenaline pumping through his body. He was screaming and crying what seemed like hours when they were stitching up his face. He was inconsolable. Hour 10 he stops kicking and screaming and crying (there was 5 of us holding him down and the dr doing his magic) puts his hand up (this is the way the dr told him to communicate) and screams at the top of his lungs....STiTCHES SUCK!! Then he giggled a little and u hear the whole pediatric ward quietly giggle, then say...AWWW! I think it was just what everyone needed at the moment! It’s amazing what our bodies and minds do to get us through traumatic events!🤍 He then put his hand down and said...”Sorry Doc....I just needed a moment. You can finish now”!
Journey B in the Bible, god sends plagues multiple times to people of the world we we turn our backs on him, when people do extreme amounts of wrong. we deserve it.
Who else kept refreshing their Instagram stories when they announced their accident? My heart literally skipped beats every time I saw there was an update ‘
Honestly wtf! These doctors and healthcare professionals spend so many years in school and blow so much money on an education and for what? To miss such important and obvious injuries SEVERAL times?? That part had my blood boiling tbh lol
@@cmarie8846 The health care system is so backlogged and overwhelmed right now with COVID. Of course, the oversight is upsetting, but keep that in mind!
Just goes to show that at the end of the day, we can't minimise our own expertise as the patients about our own bodies and the health professionals needed to acknowledge that more for Kristin
I love that Marcus mentioned that he really felt the need to have Kristin wear her helmet at 1:50. That was 100% God warning you and prompting you to wear it. I’m so glad you listened to that prompting!
“A fifteen year old boy and a girl about a couple years younger” lol But for real I am so happy you both are ok I always checked for updates and cried when I saw Kris in the hospital
“15 year old boy and girl a couple years younger” 😂 in all seriousness though, God is so good and I’m so extremely happy you’re both okay. I love you guys and I praise God daily for your recovery so far and that you’re still here to witness to others❤️
I broke my lower back in a car accident. A pastor came in my room at the hospital just before my surgery. He said "Sometimes God puts us on our backs so we have to look up." This thought helped me through the pain and convalescent period. I am passing this wisdom on to you. So glad you two are on the mend. God has plans for your lives or he would have taken you home. It's up to you to figure out what your purposes are. Take care of each other and keep the faith. 💜
Fun fact, I am an engineer, the fact that they flew so far in the air is probably what saved them from dying, all of the impact was transferred into a long sustained flight in the air instead of a hard abrupt hit to the ground or an object, so they're lucky they flew so far!
Hey! This doesn’t make much sense. First law of thermodynamics. ~No energy was lost in their “flight” all converted to g potential energy then back into kinetic energy as they fell. Thank God they’re alright!
When the lady said “you guys are gonna make it” wow that made me cry so much. Praise Jesus for sending angels around you!! When you said people were surrounding you, praising His name, what a perfect picture of heaven!! I love you both so incredibly much. Jesus is so so good!!
When Markus said “My subconscious.. my soul was like screaming for Jesus” and the moment about him telling those random people, while in his state, to start saying the name of Jesus and praise Him and pray for healing, I thought maybe it was an angel that started to speak through him and encourages people to start interceding for God’s power... goosebumps! This is one of the many proofs that Jesus is real and alive and our healer and protector at all times! Praise God you are both okay now. You guys are amazing and your faith is awesome!!!!
Matt Milton don’t listen to them if they make fun of you they are not your real friends the same thing happened to me but I’m still doing it because that’s what I love doing
I was telling my boyfriend that I've never felt so personally connected to someone's own tragedy as I kept up with your updates from the hospital. while I don't know you both personally, just know that I care about you deeply and am so beyond thankful that you're recovering TOGETHER 💓 xoxo
Same here! It hurt me so much to see them in pain and to see Kristin so sad to deal with everything in the hospital by herself :( I’m just glad the worst is over (I hope)
Same, sometimes with my bike I do but never with rollerblades. I think I won’t fall... but it’s other people’s recklessness we really have to look out for
literally lost it when Cody was recalling what Marcus said when Kristan screamed. the love between you too is beautiful. okay i'm balling my eyes outttt
The look of anger Marcus had on his face the whole time Kristin was talking about the hospital missing the hip fracture and embolism 😩 Pure love for his wife. ❤️
He posted an instagram story just sobbing and explaining what was happening at the time when Kristin was going back to the hospital for the embolism and it literally broke my heart because it was so clear how helpless he was feeling. Pure love is right!
my hearttttttt omg when Marcus said his soul cried out for Jesus in a semi-conscious state - wow! God bless you guys and the witnesses who came to help. Omg and when Marcus heard Kristin's scream and his brother covered his ears, and them seeing each other first time after the accident - I can't! wow!! I cried so much hearing this. thank you for sharing - what a testimony, and what a miracle! xo
I love how their dog is like an emotional support dog. The anxiety of reliving this traumatic event, they constantly petting the dog and the dog is just laying there so nice giving off such calming energy! So thankful you guys are ok!❤ 🦮
This made me so emotional. So I was the girl who’s brother was on the call and in the ambulance with you, Kristin. hearing this story when he first talked about it broke my heart completely. I am so thankful that you felt Jesus’ presence in this unbelievably scary time. I am crying watching this. I love you both so much! God is going to use this for his glory. EDIT: I heard my brothers voice say a femur fracture! I’m so proud of him and all that he does to take care of people. Praise God the paramedics put you at ease!
My husband was hit from behind while riding his bicycle. She was going 50 mph and didn’t touch the breaks. Skull fractures, brain bleed, back broken in three places, his neck was broken, and 6 broken ribs. He was hit in Oct, they told me 6 months to a year recovery. He was home in November, only needing PT. Prayers and Angels were working hard.
this irritates me quite a lot because i've always had dreams of becoming a trauma surgeon. the fact that the ER didn't do their job of following through on Kristin just gives me more motivation to be the best trauma surgeon that i can. it's a HIP fracture, like how could that be missed? lol
Study hard and follow your dreams! Don't let anyone discourage you. You have a lot of hard work and studying ahead but you can do this :) But I agree! I am a nursing student and also work part-time as a medical assistant. The staff in that ER did a horrible job of assessing this couple's injuries. I get that ERs are busy places and they can only focus on so much at once but seriously, they still need to be thorough with their assessments!
Julia Schweizer I’m not sure if this is the reason....but I have been in the hospital multiple times and never had I had a male on the other side. Also could have been due to their injuries. They could have been in units that suit their injuries. Seems like it’s a no brained to put them together if at all possible! That’s got to help healing! I hope everyone out there is staying healthy and safe!! Positive Vibes from South Florida!🤍☀️
@@juliaschweizer5144 I’m late, by literally months, so sorry if this is annoying lol. But, most likely they were placed separately because of how severe their injuries actually were. If their injuries were either very different or both very severe, they may have needed to be in different specialty units or placed in different places on the same unit. Especially with such an intense amount of bodily trauma, they might have just not wanted them together in the same room just in case they both needed urgent care at the same time because then the nurses in that area would be too overwhelmed and there wouldn’t be enough space in the room for proper care to be given. There’s a small chance that they could’ve been placed in different rooms for patient privacy reasons before they were able to fully confirm their marital status, but I don’t think this was the case personally.
I never used to but then I witnessed somebody have a similar accident and later heard they'd died of a head injury. Surgeons said wearing a helmet would have almost guaranteed survival. The kid was only 10. And now his family have to live with that I know so many people that don't wear one just because they don't like how they look in it, or it feels wrong, or they don't have the latest style or the 'majority doesn't so I'll look out of place'. I wear a helmet on every ride now, whatever the weather with no 'ifs' or 'buts'. You only have one head guys, look after it!
“Phantom Pain” this is why we all need to medically advocate for ourselves!! I have chronic pain and 2 severe, active autoimmune diseases. I cannot tell you how many times I have been misdiagnosed. Or how long it took for me to get diagnosed because my first doctors told me it was in my head! I actually walked on a fractured hip for 3 months being told it was “Phantom Pain” if this helps one person, telling their story is EVERYTHING 🤍☀️Stat healthy and safe everyone!
“Phantom pain” or “referred pain” is actually real pain, and can occur after any kind of trauma (car accidents, surgery, etc). PT’s are not taught to read radiographs in depth as much as MD’s and radiologists are, so I’m not surprised that the PT’s trusted the people who are supposed to be good at their job when they said there was no hip fracture. That being said, x-rays are awful for trying to seeing a fracture right after trauma, especially if the fracture is non-displaced or is a stress fracture. I’m shocked the medical team didn’t order an MRI, which is the gold standard for observing fractures. Kristin and you are unfortunately the victims of neglect from medical doctors failing to do their job properly. I’m so sorry that you both experienced medical negligence. No one deserves that.
Im sorry you had to go through that! There are too many stories about doctors not believing patients (and especially female/POC patients). Things need to change.
Yes!!! I broke my foot when I was 10, and it was a really weird break- a piece of bone had broken off and then split in two. I have a high pain tolerance and it didn’t swell so when I went to the doctors they told me it was a growing pain and would take a few months to go away. I walked on it for SIX MONTHS before finally having another X-Ray and ending up in a cast for another 3 months
“Two teenagers”😂😂😂 but for real teared up watching that clip of you guys laying on the ground. Seriously praising God for his protection over the both of you ❤️
“It’s a blessing to go through something like this.” The fact that you’re able to say this is absolutely mind blowing - that’s something that only a person trusting in Christ can really say. I’m continuously blown away by y’all’s updates and how God seriously and without a doubt protected and saved you two. There is no way I can hear this story and believe any of those details of how you were spared were because of coincidence. Thank you both for being courageous to recount this story, to praise God’s work, and honestly not break down and still be able to find humor in some moments (I would be an absolute mess). I’m loving you guys more and more, and so thankful for each of you and your love for God. Praying for you and praising the Lord for His sovereign hand 💞
I've recently stepped away from being a Muslim and now consider myself an Agnostic because I have seen God work through different religions. 100% God was there that night. I can't see it any other way. God is real and there are many ways to worship Them, but the Johns' have God's blessing tenfold.
I felt so bad when I saw Kristin's story, I was constantly checking and praying for you guys. It felt like a friendly couple of me had the accident. Hope the best for you!
it has been a while since you posted but when you said something about your “subconscious screaming for jesus” that really touched me… i’m 17, and i drove up on a car accident where a 6 year old girl was ejected from the car into the woods. before she was found i remember just looking around and panicking. i’m not a very religious person at all, but i went over to the little girls mom and asked if i could pray. i knelt in the dirt, and it was probably 90°f+ so we were sweating, and she was bleeding but i prayed. i found the little girl, but she didn’t make it. i watched as another man who prayed with me did cpr until the paramedics got there. i found out a couple days after she passed that we have the same birthday. i think god led me to her for a reason- i don’t know why yet. i just know that when i didn’t know what else to do, i felt the need to pray. and your guys story is so touching and inspiring- it makes me feel less alone.
In a biomedical class in high school, I learned that when you are helpless right after an accident and no one is around, your body goes into survival mode where it sends off endorphins to block the pain your feeling. Once you get help, you start to feel a sense of comfort that your going to be okay so you begin to feel that pain, which is maybe why Kristen immediately started feeling pain when the paramedics arrived. I am so incredibly glad you guys survived this and are able to use your story to share with others. God loves you and has big plans for you, much love. 💕
Hey! I’m an EMT from nyc and honestly seeing the medic coming on scene and being like “that’s a femur fracture” that’s probably the best trained medic out there. So glad you guys are getting better
currently sobbing because this is such a God story. stuff like this doesn't happen without our God. your story is a miracle and I am so happy you are both alive. praising God for saving you both and sobbing because He can move mountains through stories like yours.
I'm waiting for a god to show up who will stop me from ever getting injured in the first place, rather than having a god that only shows up to help after i get injured..
When I first saw Kristins story on instagram I actually thought she was going to tell us Marcus had died. My heart was beating so fast and I could not stop thinking about them both in the hospital. So so glad you are both on the mend ♥️
I can’t imagine looking right beside me and seeing the love of my life be unconscious and having the fear that I will never be able to talk to them again. Wow. I would’ve been freaking out. Y’all are both so strong.
It's awful. On a kinda smaller scale my bf has seizures and when he "comes too" he's not the man I love. The last time he was in such a catatonic state that he thought his step dad was like a devil like "person" he was so scared he started crying and trying to fight his step dad cause he was so confused what was going on
I can’t think of two people more deserving of Jesus saving them. The world needs Marcus’s goofy humour and incredibly creative mind. And we couldn’t live without Kristins’s beautiful warm, gentle, calm, soothing, sweet sweet soul 😭😭😭
I’m going to be honest whenever I ride my bike I don’t wear a helmet, and after this video I am always going to. I am so happy you are both okay and have each other, and praise Jesus!💗
Kristin, I feel like that man who was there to comfort you at the scene could have been an angel. When you said that, I said out loud, “oh my goodness he must’ve been an angel.” I was just reading about angels a couple days ago and how they can take on human form to help us. Anyways, I prayed for you and Marcus so much. I am so glad you guys are okay. Jesus definitely saved you, no doubt about that. And God chose you two to go through this because He knew you were faithful servants He could use to glorify His name and share to the WORLD about Him. God bless you both and I pray for quick healing. 💕
Love this, but one thing for sure is that accidents / death is never from the Lord. He died on the cross so that we may not experience death or sicknesses and this accident was purely the work of the devil. But the Lord is good and has definitely protected Marcus and Kristin from what could have been the worst case scenario!
John 10:10 "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
Personally not a believer, but my mom swears that the same happened to my uncle when they were in an accident. Something happened to the car that made it malfunction and literally burst into flames, and in the car were my uncle and mother. My mother was able bodied but my uncle had been in a wheelchair the majority of his life and happened to be a heavier guy. My mom recalls that she was frantically trying to lift him out but couldn't and she essentially gave up a certain point and had to get across the road to safety so she did. However, soon after a man appeared who helped her out with my uncle and managed to get him out and across the street to safety. When she turned around to thank him, he was gone. My mom isn't a believer either so it's always been such an interesting story to me.
Sandra F. that’s so wild!! i’m glad they were both able to get out safely. even if it’s not in the religious sense, that man was truly your uncle’s guardian angel that day.
I’m not even all the way through this video, but I never realized how emotionally connected I am to these two people. I’ve been watching both Marcus and Kristin from the beginning. I don’t have a blue check next to my name so my comment may be in the midst of thousands and thousands. However, when Cody talks about Marcus recognizing Kristin’s scream, and needing his ears covered, I just honestly sobbed. They love each other so much, and that man couldn’t stand the sound of her screaming bc he knew he couldn’t get up and save her. It’s easy to feel like TH-camrs make everything seem way happier and go lucky than it is, but with this, they have truly been real and inspirational and strong. They both look amazing and the resilience from both of them has been just absolutely insane. God really does make beauty from ashes. I’m so grateful God saved you, and will continue to stand in agreement for prayer for a complete recovery, and peace that passes all understanding in the midst of the storms. 💖
What hospital was this?!? The fact that they had to call you TWICE like, "uh, yeah, we missed this really important thing, lol. Can you come back?" Like, WTFFFFF?!?!!!
right??? seeing Kristin's insta updates every other day saying she had to go back for the exact thing they said she didnt have MULTIPLE TIMES made me mad. they should never return to that hospital
If it was a call from Beverly Hills, I’m going to assume it was Cedars Sinai which is strangely enough a very highly ranked hospital lol. Agree, it’s absolutely ridiculous that they missed such crucial details.
I’m not sure why they missed a lot of things the first time, but at least they owned up to it and called as soon as possible. I feel like they are probably all over the place because of the pandemic.
This was attempted murder--correction, I see what you said. I hope the crime investigation is complete. The man needs to be charged. I'm grateful to Jesus that you are recovering well.
I bawled my eyes out. Hearing how Kristin was trying to make Marcus talk... My heart shattered. Like I can't imagine the fear of me and my love going through something like that. Then when he heard her screaming and had his brother cover his ears I lost it. 💔😭😭 You both are so strong. I love the fact that God was the first thing you turned to. That just shows your strength in the Lord. I am praying for you guys (Also when you both started trying to embarrass each other was so precious 😂😂♥️ love you guys).
Exactly one year later (today is 05/11/22) and you both are healthy and alive and have the most beautiful baby boy. I’m so thankful you both survived to live a beautiful life with your baby, cherish every moment 💜
When Kristin talked about the old man holding her hand, it made me believe he was an angel from Heaven. God saved your life and we are all so happy you both are recovering!
The Lord really had His absolute hand of protection on y’all, all circumstances considered. The extent of the injuries and what they could’ve been.. wow. What a testimony. Very scary with Kristin’s complications, though. Your recovery will certainly continue to be in my prayers through the process.
Seeing the video of both of you laying on the ground and the lady saying “don’t move”. Broke my heart ! I am so sorry you guys had to go through that due to a selfish man. Bless the lord for being by your side and protecting you. I can’t imagine how your parents felt knowing their children where hurt. How Ashlyn felt knowing she couldn’t do anything knowing she was in a different country. I’m glad you guys are safe now.
Please fix you wording that is such poor wording you should edit that curse word out and btw that were talk about a sad experience they had so please don't put words in their mouths
Katie Ellington u are right they are lucky to live not wear your helmet they had there helmets on and it was a blessing that they are living and you know they are blessed people and they love god that is how they are alive and they are ok now and they can stand and they are not traumatize witch is awesome god bless them and god bless all of u guys reading this
Actually the moral of the story is Jesus saves and protects. Believe in Him. And you just used the Lord's name in vain. I would ask God for forgiveness and repent if I were you. That's breaking one of God's 10 commandments.
I’m like tearing up through this whole thing. I was in a near-death car accident and should have died. I KNOW the bravery it takes to speak about your accident. I can only imagine Marcus having to edit this and see yourself like that. I’ve never had more respect for you two, your strength, and your faith in Jesus. I’m incredulous at you. You should be proud of who you are
when you guys roast each other the last 5 minutes it made my heart melt because you both have gone through sometimes soooo traumatic not too long ago and who would've thought that you guys would be here sitting next to each other roasting one another in a loving way. aaaaah, bless Jesus for saving you both. ❤️
"I'm not gonna cry it's been too long" you may still cry for a long time and that's so normal! Praising God you're okay and praying for complete healing in every way.
Looking at these comments makes me so happy, look how Marcus and Kristin's journey has brought so many together! God is so good! And they are keeping the focus on God, it's amazing.
after a nearly 3 year relationship my gf broke up with me & i've been pretty torn apart for almost a year but i watched this video and within minutes that feeling left me because i know i need to find someone that feels the way you guys feel about each other
Kristin: “I just want to vacuum my carpets” Lol life with a golden retriever...that’s all I kept saying after my surgery 😂 But so happy y’all are doing better. God is good ❤️
Wow, after watching this I’m AMAZED at how minor the injuries were compared to what they could’ve been. I’m an EMT and to see you both conscious and talking in the first video is absolutely incredible. God was definitely watching over you.
I ride my bike often and recently started biking to work. I don't have a helmet at the moment but knew i should get one. After hearing your story i just ordered a helmet off amazon. I'm filled with joy to hear God protected you and you're doing well now
Stories like this remind us that we're not invincible and that crazy things happen when you least expect it. Always good to remind us that we need to take precautions. I feel the same way too.
As an EMT, when you were describing the accident, I had chills. We are trained to assess the scene to get an idea of injuries and yours... thank God you guys are okay.
Aw Kris going “it’s been too long”. No girl! This is a trauma and healing, while totally possible, is layered and takes time. I still cry over my childhood traumas- it’s totally normal. Praying for you both!
I’m watching this for the second time and still can’t believe what y’all went through. You’ve been super transparent about the physical healing process, but I pray that the emotional healing has gone just as well. Don’t be afraid to talk about what you went through to each other, your loved ones, or to a professional. You both deserve the best!
When I first saw Kristin's Instagram post in the hospital, my heart Dropped. I've never known anyone to get in this type of accident, and knowing it was two of my favorite TH-camrs who truly feel like friends of mine, was literally the scariest thing ever. When I saw the video I instantly started praying for the both of you, asking the Lord to please help and heal you both from your injuries. God is just so good, and even though I wish this would have never happened to y'all I know the Lord has a much bigger purpose for this happening. I will continue to pray for you both for a quick recovery ❤️ Ps. Seeing that you both still have your sense of humor, and can still laugh together, makes my heart so happy ☺️💕
It kinda freaks me out how the doctors say it's nothing without being 100% sure and a while later they call and say oops. I know no one is perfect, but when the patient says something doesn't feel right, as a doctor you shouldn't assume they are exaggerating or its "phantom pain" smh
This whole thing broke my heart, but the dog part hurt so bad. They just don’t understand 😭 I find myself crying about how much of life dogs don’t understand, all the time 🥺
I was honestly typing in you guys’ names into the search on Instagram every. Single. Day. Waiting for updates. Prayed for you so much. I’m sooooo glad y’all are alive and walking and I’m so incredibly amazed by your grace and positive attitudes. God bless
that video of kristen getting rolled up next to marcus when they’re in the hospital bed and he’s just like “kristen baby I love you” literally made me lose it. so grateful you guys made it out alive and stronger than ever. your relationship is now even more beautiful
Thank you guys for all of your love, prayers & support during this crazy time. We are working so hard everyday to heal - it’s going to be a long journey ahead but we are so excited for the future! 💛🙏🏼
so so glad y'all are okay!! i'm constantly checking up and i have both of your instagram notifications on 😅 you're not alone 🤍
You guys are so so strong. God is too good❤️🙏🏼
Love you guys so much! Thank you Jesus for saving you and healing you!!
Y’all have already come so far since that first post on Instagram a little over a month ago! Y’all bring so much positivity to the world and we are so happy you’re both still here. Happy to see y’all feeling better and wish you a speedy recovery! ❤️
All Glory to God that you both are alive and recovering 🙌🏽 absolutely horrific. When Kristin talked about how everything went to fast and yet so slow ... I know the feeling ! I also had a car coming directly towards me a day after my birthday & hit my leg & weirdist thing is that at the moment I didn’t feel pain !!!! I couldn’t walk for a month. A reminder that we NEVER know when it life can be over & how the devil tries to ruin our faith & peace. Again , SO HAPPY you guys are alive & thriving. NEVER forget the thank god for everyday & pray over you’re bike , the roads, car, etc because the devil tries anything!
"15 year old boy and a female a few years younger" was the comic relief i needed in this video
Sameee. 🤣 I mean I can see why they thought that.
How old are they???
Sarah Suid Marcus is 27 and Kristin 24
Clotilde thanks
Hahah right!!
It was a God thing that she wore her helmet. Literally saved her life
Yes, truly God's 👼 angel's were surrounding you that horrible day. As the saying goes, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and it's very true. I broke my femur at 60 (2015), while visiting my husband in the hospital recovering from a brain stem stroke. My husband did recover. Like you, Kristen, the full extent of the pain did not hit me right away. What I remember most was hearing my bone break as I went down. Definitely something I hope to NEVER hear again. The worst part for me was my husband witnessing all of it. The first year was the hardest for me. My break was right at the knee, the screws kept me from bending my left leg very far. After the year bench mark I went in and had 2 screws removed. Within a month, I could bend my leg again, without pain.
Last year, at 64 (2019), my dog tripped me, I fell and broke my left hip at the same place as yours. For me it was a breeze, guess I received some strong blessings this time. I needed as my husband finally passed the year before. My left leg will never be as strong or dependable as my right, but at 65 now, I know how truly blessed I am. I'm extremely mobility and agile, not going to let a cpl of breaks slow me down.....lol
I didn't have the horrific trauma you experienced that so much more onto your physical and mental recovery. However, You're both young and healthy, your bones will grow strong again. In a year (if not much sooner) I'll lay down odds you'll be back to your busy active lives. So happy you are both recovering and staying positive, as it's everything. Much love and many prayers 🙏♥️🙏♥️ sent your way. God bless....
yes absolutely. it wasn't her time to go.

Yup! With the police engaging in high speed pursuits in densly populated areas putting drivers and pedestrians lives at risk...a helmet can help!
Police killed a girl I went to uni with during the pursuit of another vehicle. She was crossing the road in a bus interchange, usually inaccessable to regular cars/traffic, when the police car plowed straight into her.
100%
Did anyone else’s check up on them literally all the time? I was genuinely so concerned and i am so incredibly happy they are ok
Edit: thank you guys for the likes! I’m so glad you guys feel the same. Even if we don’t know them personally it affected us like it was our own family. ❤️
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
yes oh my gosh everyday i check up
Yess! I DID, I just wanted to make sure they were okay and I kept them in my prayers
I would check her Instagram stories EVERY single day and if she didn’t post anything I’d get so worried. But also the night it happened I was a bit worried that something was up because she never posted anything about her sourdough
every. single. day! even when K wasn't posting on IG during that week off.
As a registered nurse, I am outraged that the care team missed your hip fracture and then the PE. That is absolutely absurd because a hip fracture and a PE are both obvious things to diagnose with very simple tests especially considering recent trauma. Moreover, the signs and symptoms seen with PEs and hip fractures are often textbook. The fact that you continued to work with physical therapy to bear weight on your fractured hip could have caused further injury. Even worse, had the PE traveled it could have been easily fatal at the hands of that hospital. I am so sorry but I am in genuine disbelief over your experience. On the upside, I am very glad that it worked itself out, and that you both survived with no neurological trauma. What a miracle that is.
I never got passed my intro classes because I found out that I’m way more squeamish than I thought and even I’m disgusted that it was missed.
Exactly!!!!!
Marycate Hamele they can’t sue for the fracture caused in the original accident; however, if something changes about the fracture because of failure to provide proper treatment then they might have a case. Regarding the blood clot, they may be able to file a malpractice suit if they can show with the help of a lawyer that there was negligence and that this was the direct cause of the blood clot. But there’s probably more to it than I may be aware of since I work directly in patient care and not on the legal side of things
It sounds like this hospital missed a few things. That blows my mind that they kept calling her back in.
That is really scary. We have to make sure doctor listen to us and always follow your instincts . If something hurts make them do tests etc. just in case. I don’t care if they think its annoying I will
Complain until they do something.Better safe than sorry
Marcus: “I love you .... this SUCKS “
Matilde Alfaiate My favorite part of the video!
yoh couldnt stop laughing
Claire B my 8 year old got viciously attacked by a dog and was in the er for 13 hours getting treatment. The sedation they tried to use on him (they pushed iv sedation no less than 7 times) did not work because of all of the adrenaline pumping through his body. He was screaming and crying what seemed like hours when they were stitching up his face. He was inconsolable. Hour 10 he stops kicking and screaming and crying (there was 5 of us holding him down and the dr doing his magic) puts his hand up (this is the way the dr told him to communicate) and screams at the top of his lungs....STiTCHES SUCK!! Then he giggled a little and u hear the whole pediatric ward quietly giggle, then say...AWWW! I think it was just what everyone needed at the moment! It’s amazing what our bodies and minds do to get us through traumatic events!🤍 He then put his hand down and said...”Sorry Doc....I just needed a moment. You can finish now”!
🤣🤣🤣
God was there, he was present.
God is so so good
Journey B Jesus loves you and He’s so good
girl, amen..thank God they made it out alive
Journey B in the Bible, god sends plagues multiple times to people of the world we we turn our backs on him, when people do extreme amounts of wrong. we deserve it.
@@mariahandsons wrong response
Who else kept refreshing their Instagram stories when they announced their accident? My heart literally skipped beats every time I saw there was an update ‘
Same😂
Same
same
Same
Not me never heard of these weirdos
“Everyday you wake up, you’re given a chance, you’re given life” 😭
Dang the fact that these doctors kept missing Kristin's injuries is terrifying
It really is
Honestly wtf! These doctors and healthcare professionals spend so many years in school and blow so much money on an education and for what? To miss such important and obvious injuries SEVERAL times?? That part had my blood boiling tbh lol
@@cmarie8846 The health care system is so backlogged and overwhelmed right now with COVID. Of course, the oversight is upsetting, but keep that in mind!
The Hospital they were taken to was probably Providence St. Joseph in Burbank. It doesn't have the best reputation.
Just goes to show that at the end of the day, we can't minimise our own expertise as the patients about our own bodies and the health professionals needed to acknowledge that more for Kristin
When Marcus knew it was Kristen’s scream and he told his brother to cover his ears Omg that gets me🥺
😭their love for each other and god is soooo pure😭❤️i m SOBBING😭
I cried when I saw that! 😭 so beautiful!
Omg that broke my heart when he said that 💔
This is really sad and powerful 🥺
I love that Marcus mentioned that he really felt the need to have Kristin wear her helmet at 1:50. That was 100% God warning you and prompting you to wear it. I’m so glad you listened to that prompting!
Gut feeling! 🙂
“We don’t have time to put you under” I literally can not IMAGINE I’m so glad theyre both ok, that’s like my biggest fear
Campers jus sitting there the whole time like yup dat happened to my pawrents 🥺
“A fifteen year old boy and a girl about a couple years younger” lol But for real I am so happy you both are ok I always checked for updates and cried when I saw Kris in the hospital
( Yeah, that was funny about their ages)...Shows you how accurate the news media is
“15 year old boy and girl a couple years younger” 😂 in all seriousness though, God is so good and I’m so extremely happy you’re both okay. I love you guys and I praise God daily for your recovery so far and that you’re still here to witness to others❤️
Literally the funniest part😂
I felt bad for laughing at that 😂
I died
It was funny but at least they know that they look youthful
I felt so bad for laughing but that was hilarious
I broke my lower back in a car accident. A pastor came in my room at the hospital just before my surgery. He said "Sometimes God puts us on our backs so we have to look up." This thought helped me through the pain and convalescent period. I am passing this wisdom on to you. So glad you two are on the mend. God has plans for your lives or he would have taken you home. It's up to you to figure out what your purposes are. Take care of each other and keep the faith. 💜
Fun fact, I am an engineer, the fact that they flew so far in the air is probably what saved them from dying, all of the impact was transferred into a long sustained flight in the air instead of a hard abrupt hit to the ground or an object, so they're lucky they flew so far!
Wow
Wow, that's interesting! I never thought of it that way
That's so interesting! So relieved they're okay.
Praise God!
Hey! This doesn’t make much sense. First law of thermodynamics. ~No energy was lost in their “flight” all converted to g potential energy then back into kinetic energy as they fell. Thank God they’re alright!
When the lady said “you guys are gonna make it” wow that made me cry so much. Praise Jesus for sending angels around you!! When you said people were surrounding you, praising His name, what a perfect picture of heaven!! I love you both so incredibly much. Jesus is so so good!!
Amen. Jesus is amazing
When Markus said “My subconscious.. my soul was like screaming for Jesus” and the moment about him telling those random people, while in his state, to start saying the name of Jesus and praise Him and pray for healing, I thought maybe it was an angel that started to speak through him and encourages people to start interceding for God’s power... goosebumps! This is one of the many proofs that Jesus is real and alive and our healer and protector at all times! Praise God you are both okay now. You guys are amazing and your faith is awesome!!!!
Yes!!!
Wow. I can't believe how many people have blind belief of things like gods
@@officialhideyo Please buy a bible and read it.
Get to know your Father. He loves you.
@@mellamobrittney lmao. Why do I need a Bible to get to know my "father". I can just go speak to him
@@officialhideyo Your Father who knew your name before you were ever even conceived? You don't know Him, but he knows you.
This absolutely broke my heart but I couldn’t help but laugh when they said “a boy, maybe fifteen, and the girl a little younger” 😂
Should I quit youtube my friends keep making fun of me for it
Matt Milton don’t listen to them if they make fun of you they are not your real friends the same thing happened to me but I’m still doing it because that’s what I love doing
Matt Milton they aren’t very nice friends 😔 keep going! Don’t listen to them! Find people that’ll support you in what you want to do💓
Madeline B haha same x)!!
Husband and wife Marcus, 15 & Kristin, 13 lol
I was telling my boyfriend that I've never felt so personally connected to someone's own tragedy as I kept up with your updates from the hospital. while I don't know you both personally, just know that I care about you deeply and am so beyond thankful that you're recovering TOGETHER 💓 xoxo
Awe same girl. I told my husband the exact same thing. 🥺🤍
I feel the same..
I couldn't have said it better!!
Same 💔. Literally cried
same ❤️
I’ve never gotten emotional when a TH-camr or “celebrity” gets hurt. This one though.. this one crushed my soul.
I second that!
I completely agree. I have sobbed so much.
Same here! It hurt me so much to see them in pain and to see Kristin so sad to deal with everything in the hospital by herself :( I’m just glad the worst is over (I hope)
Same here. It sort of felt like it was a friend and I teared up telling my mom about their story.
i’m dead serious i don’t wear a helmet when i ride my bike, but after this video i’m now gonna start wearing a helmet
Same, sometimes with my bike I do but never with rollerblades. I think I won’t fall... but it’s other people’s recklessness we really have to look out for
I am now too
And ride on the sidewalk, not the suicide/bike lane.
Guys it’s a miracle you’re alive and I’m crying just at the thought of such a traumatic experience. I’m thanking Jesus that he saved you.
When I saw Kristin's post my heart stopped beating for a second, I'm so happy you're both ok.
I was the same way. My heart sunk when I saw her devastating video 🥺
Right? I've always loved Kristin and Marcus but I never realized I cared this much about them.
Same. I started praying right away. Wow. 🙏💙
Omg same here !
“I’m not going to cry” “ I’m not going to cry” then lost it when he said “ baby, I love you so much” I’m crying like a baby.
How long ago did this happened?
@@mo-yy9hm may 11
ugh yES.
Sameee
Same
The second hand anxiety I’m picking up from both of them just telling the story speaks volumes for how horrific the experience must’ve been for them.
SAME
literally lost it when Cody was recalling what Marcus said when Kristan screamed. the love between you too is beautiful. okay i'm balling my eyes outttt
I'm not alone😅
Same. When you can feel the love between 2 people just on TH-cam. Their love is so true and pure! I'm with y'all I cried.
@@danielaflowery he said close my ears, cause he doesn't want to hear Kristan scream. :(
The look of anger Marcus had on his face the whole time Kristin was talking about the hospital missing the hip fracture and embolism 😩 Pure love for his wife. ❤️
He posted an instagram story just sobbing and explaining what was happening at the time when Kristin was going back to the hospital for the embolism and it literally broke my heart because it was so clear how helpless he was feeling. Pure love is right!
I know! He was in pain hearing that again. He loves her.
Savanah Vasquez that broke my heart so much. You could see how mad it made him. He loves her so much!!
The fact that the hospital didn’t check all of those things before she left 20 different times baffles me.
my hearttttttt omg when Marcus said his soul cried out for Jesus in a semi-conscious state - wow! God bless you guys and the witnesses who came to help. Omg and when Marcus heard Kristin's scream and his brother covered his ears, and them seeing each other first time after the accident - I can't! wow!! I cried so much hearing this. thank you for sharing - what a testimony, and what a miracle! xo
I love how their dog is like an emotional support dog. The anxiety of reliving this traumatic event, they constantly petting the dog and the dog is just laying there so nice giving off such calming energy! So thankful you guys are ok!❤ 🦮
Love that
This made me so emotional. So I was the girl who’s brother was on the call and in the ambulance with you, Kristin. hearing this story when he first talked about it broke my heart completely. I am so thankful that you felt Jesus’ presence in this unbelievably scary time. I am crying watching this. I love you both so much! God is going to use this for his glory.
EDIT: I heard my brothers voice say a femur fracture! I’m so proud of him and all that he does to take care of people. Praise God the paramedics put you at ease!
My husband was hit from behind while riding his bicycle. She was going 50 mph and didn’t touch the breaks. Skull fractures, brain bleed, back broken in three places, his neck was broken, and 6 broken ribs. He was hit in Oct, they told me 6 months to a year recovery. He was home in November, only needing PT. Prayers and Angels were working hard.
Oh my goodness that is horrible. I'm glad he's back home.
Holy shit! Thank god he recovered so well!
That’s so scary ! He is one lucky man !
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Praying for his recovery!!
Dude how Kristin was so strong and cohesive and focused and articulate 😱truly a strong woman
this irritates me quite a lot because i've always had dreams of becoming a trauma surgeon. the fact that the ER didn't do their job of following through on Kristin just gives me more motivation to be the best trauma surgeon that i can. it's a HIP fracture, like how could that be missed? lol
Study hard and follow your dreams! Don't let anyone discourage you. You have a lot of hard work and studying ahead but you can do this :) But I agree! I am a nursing student and also work part-time as a medical assistant. The staff in that ER did a horrible job of assessing this couple's injuries. I get that ERs are busy places and they can only focus on so much at once but seriously, they still need to be thorough with their assessments!
I hate it when they miss stuff. I got a bone deformity that was originally diagnosed as an old fracture. 🤣
FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS
THANK GOD SHE WORE THAT DARN HELMET
I’m an EMT, and there are miraculous things like this every now and then. This was so the hand of the Lord on you both. This makes me tear up.
Hey! I’m really confused as to how they weren’t able to share a room at the hospital. How does that work there? Sorry if I’m bothering you.
Same 😢
Julia Schweizer it might possibly be because of covid
Julia Schweizer I’m not sure if this is the reason....but I have been in the hospital multiple times and never had I had a male on the other side. Also could have been due to their injuries. They could have been in units that suit their injuries. Seems like it’s a no brained to put them together if at all possible! That’s got to help healing! I hope everyone out there is staying healthy and safe!! Positive Vibes from South Florida!🤍☀️
@@juliaschweizer5144 I’m late, by literally months, so sorry if this is annoying lol. But, most likely they were placed separately because of how severe their injuries actually were.
If their injuries were either very different or both very severe, they may have needed to be in different specialty units or placed in different places on the same unit. Especially with such an intense amount of bodily trauma, they might have just not wanted them together in the same room just in case they both needed urgent care at the same time because then the nurses in that area would be too overwhelmed and there wouldn’t be enough space in the room for proper care to be given.
There’s a small chance that they could’ve been placed in different rooms for patient privacy reasons before they were able to fully confirm their marital status, but I don’t think this was the case personally.
I just can’t stop thinking about how I NEVER wear a helmet. Like I’m just so thankful they were wearing them
Maybe you should get on that
Riiiggghhttt
I never used to but then I witnessed somebody have a similar accident and later heard they'd died of a head injury. Surgeons said wearing a helmet would have almost guaranteed survival. The kid was only 10. And now his family have to live with that
I know so many people that don't wear one just because they don't like how they look in it, or it feels wrong, or they don't have the latest style or the 'majority doesn't so I'll look out of place'. I wear a helmet on every ride now, whatever the weather with no 'ifs' or 'buts'.
You only have one head guys, look after it!
Same! I live in The Netherlands and like 99% of people who use the bike for everyday life don't wear a helmet
Plz be protected and prepared 💙
That hospital sounds like they neglected you, Kristin, that's ridiculous how much they missed. Sending love and prayers 🙏 ❤
I’m sorry this story is so sad but I cackled when he said “15 year old boy”
JESUS showed up. JESUS was with you every step of the way
AMEN❤️
LITERALLY
You can tell how pissed Marcus is about Kristens pain
It makes me feel really sad how much they’ve had to deal with.
“Phantom Pain” this is why we all need to medically advocate for ourselves!! I have chronic pain and 2 severe, active autoimmune diseases. I cannot tell you how many times I have been misdiagnosed. Or how long it took for me to get diagnosed because my first doctors told me it was in my head! I actually walked on a fractured hip for 3 months being told it was “Phantom Pain” if this helps one person, telling their story is EVERYTHING 🤍☀️Stat healthy and safe everyone!
“Phantom pain” or “referred pain” is actually real pain, and can occur after any kind of trauma (car accidents, surgery, etc). PT’s are not taught to read radiographs in depth as much as MD’s and radiologists are, so I’m not surprised that the PT’s trusted the people who are supposed to be good at their job when they said there was no hip fracture. That being said, x-rays are awful for trying to seeing a fracture right after trauma, especially if the fracture is non-displaced or is a stress fracture. I’m shocked the medical team didn’t order an MRI, which is the gold standard for observing fractures. Kristin and you are unfortunately the victims of neglect from medical doctors failing to do their job properly. I’m so sorry that you both experienced medical negligence. No one deserves that.
Im sorry you had to go through that! There are too many stories about doctors not believing patients (and especially female/POC patients). Things need to change.
Yes!!! I broke my foot when I was 10, and it was a really weird break- a piece of bone had broken off and then split in two. I have a high pain tolerance and it didn’t swell so when I went to the doctors they told me it was a growing pain and would take a few months to go away. I walked on it for SIX MONTHS before finally having another X-Ray and ending up in a cast for another 3 months
When lexy said she fell to her knees and started praying I teared up, what an amazing example
“Two teenagers”😂😂😂 but for real teared up watching that clip of you guys laying on the ground.
Seriously praising God for his protection over the both of you ❤️
'God saves us everyday. Everyday you wake up, you are given a chance' - Marcus Johns 2020
Your testimony is So inspiring ✝️
Amen🙏
Their dog is like, “It’s ok Mom. I cuddle with you. Make you feel better.”
“It’s a blessing to go through something like this.” The fact that you’re able to say this is absolutely mind blowing - that’s something that only a person trusting in Christ can really say. I’m continuously blown away by y’all’s updates and how God seriously and without a doubt protected and saved you two. There is no way I can hear this story and believe any of those details of how you were spared were because of coincidence. Thank you both for being courageous to recount this story, to praise God’s work, and honestly not break down and still be able to find humor in some moments (I would be an absolute mess). I’m loving you guys more and more, and so thankful for each of you and your love for God. Praying for you and praising the Lord for His sovereign hand 💞
I've recently stepped away from being a Muslim and now consider myself an Agnostic because I have seen God work through different religions. 100% God was there that night. I can't see it any other way. God is real and there are many ways to worship Them, but the Johns' have God's blessing tenfold.
yes
I felt so bad when I saw Kristin's story, I was constantly checking and praying for you guys. It felt like a friendly couple of me had the accident. Hope the best for you!
The fact that they FLIPPED in the air multiple times. I just can't even imagine
it has been a while since you posted but when you said something about your “subconscious screaming for jesus” that really touched me… i’m 17, and i drove up on a car accident where a 6 year old girl was ejected from the car into the woods. before she was found i remember just looking around and panicking. i’m not a very religious person at all, but i went over to the little girls mom and asked if i could pray. i knelt in the dirt, and it was probably 90°f+ so we were sweating, and she was bleeding but i prayed. i found the little girl, but she didn’t make it. i watched as another man who prayed with me did cpr until the paramedics got there. i found out a couple days after she passed that we have the same birthday. i think god led me to her for a reason- i don’t know why yet. i just know that when i didn’t know what else to do, i felt the need to pray. and your guys story is so touching and inspiring- it makes me feel less alone.
omg when cody was explaining how kristin was screaming and marcus told him to cover his ears😭😭😭 love y’all both so much. god is so so good.
In a biomedical class in high school, I learned that when you are helpless right after an accident and no one is around, your body goes into survival mode where it sends off endorphins to block the pain your feeling. Once you get help, you start to feel a sense of comfort that your going to be okay so you begin to feel that pain, which is maybe why Kristen immediately started feeling pain when the paramedics arrived. I am so incredibly glad you guys survived this and are able to use your story to share with others. God loves you and has big plans for you, much love. 💕
Hey! I’m an EMT from nyc and honestly seeing the medic coming on scene and being like “that’s a femur fracture” that’s probably the best trained medic out there. So glad you guys are getting better
currently sobbing because this is such a God story. stuff like this doesn't happen without our God. your story is a miracle and I am so happy you are both alive. praising God for saving you both and sobbing because He can move mountains through stories like yours.
Are you being serious?
@@AliceRoche-ii2ke you got a prob or something? 😂
I'm waiting for a god to show up who will stop me from ever getting injured in the first place, rather than having a god that only shows up to help after i get injured..
@@jackfrost2146 I don’t even know what that means lol
When I first saw Kristins story on instagram I actually thought she was going to tell us Marcus had died. My heart was beating so fast and I could not stop thinking about them both in the hospital. So so glad you are both on the mend ♥️
Same that’s what I thought.
Me too. I thought the same thing. 😔
I can’t imagine looking right beside me and seeing the love of my life be unconscious and having the fear that I will never be able to talk to them again. Wow. I would’ve been freaking out. Y’all are both so strong.
It's awful. On a kinda smaller scale my bf has seizures and when he "comes too" he's not the man I love. The last time he was in such a catatonic state that he thought his step dad was like a devil like "person" he was so scared he started crying and trying to fight his step dad cause he was so confused what was going on
I can’t think of two people more deserving of Jesus saving them. The world needs Marcus’s goofy humour and incredibly creative mind. And we couldn’t live without Kristins’s beautiful warm, gentle, calm, soothing, sweet sweet soul 😭😭😭
I’m going to be honest whenever I ride my bike I don’t wear a helmet, and after this video I am always going to. I am so happy you are both okay and have each other, and praise Jesus!💗
Ikr i am like (I do not have to where a helmet) but now I am
Kristin, I feel like that man who was there to comfort you at the scene could have been an angel. When you said that, I said out loud, “oh my goodness he must’ve been an angel.” I was just reading about angels a couple days ago and how they can take on human form to help us. Anyways, I prayed for you and Marcus so much. I am so glad you guys are okay. Jesus definitely saved you, no doubt about that. And God chose you two to go through this because He knew you were faithful servants He could use to glorify His name and share to the WORLD about Him. God bless you both and I pray for quick healing. 💕
Love this, but one thing for sure is that accidents / death is never from the Lord. He died on the cross so that we may not experience death or sicknesses and this accident was purely the work of the devil. But the Lord is good and has definitely protected Marcus and Kristin from what could have been the worst case scenario!
John 10:10 "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
Where were you reading about angels, I’m curious!
Personally not a believer, but my mom swears that the same happened to my uncle when they were in an accident. Something happened to the car that made it malfunction and literally burst into flames, and in the car were my uncle and mother. My mother was able bodied but my uncle had been in a wheelchair the majority of his life and happened to be a heavier guy. My mom recalls that she was frantically trying to lift him out but couldn't and she essentially gave up a certain point and had to get across the road to safety so she did. However, soon after a man appeared who helped her out with my uncle and managed to get him out and across the street to safety. When she turned around to thank him, he was gone. My mom isn't a believer either so it's always been such an interesting story to me.
Sandra F. that’s so wild!! i’m glad they were both able to get out safely. even if it’s not in the religious sense, that man was truly your uncle’s guardian angel that day.
I’m not even all the way through this video, but I never realized how emotionally connected I am to these two people. I’ve been watching both Marcus and Kristin from the beginning. I don’t have a blue check next to my name so my comment may be in the midst of thousands and thousands. However, when Cody talks about Marcus recognizing Kristin’s scream, and needing his ears covered, I just honestly sobbed. They love each other so much, and that man couldn’t stand the sound of her screaming bc he knew he couldn’t get up and save her. It’s easy to feel like TH-camrs make everything seem way happier and go lucky than it is, but with this, they have truly been real and inspirational and strong. They both look amazing and the resilience from both of them has been just absolutely insane. God really does make beauty from ashes. I’m so grateful God saved you, and will continue to stand in agreement for prayer for a complete recovery, and peace that passes all understanding in the midst of the storms. 💖
What hospital was this?!?
The fact that they had to call you TWICE like, "uh, yeah, we missed this really important thing, lol. Can you come back?" Like, WTFFFFF?!?!!!
I feel like they should be trained better or something. It is a hospital.
also the fact that Kris was telling them her hip hurt and they overlooked it, which just caused more problems... so unfortunate
right??? seeing Kristin's insta updates every other day saying she had to go back for the exact thing they said she didnt have MULTIPLE TIMES made me mad. they should never return to that hospital
If it was a call from Beverly Hills, I’m going to assume it was Cedars Sinai which is strangely enough a very highly ranked hospital lol. Agree, it’s absolutely ridiculous that they missed such crucial details.
I’m not sure why they missed a lot of things the first time, but at least they owned up to it and called as soon as possible. I feel like they are probably all over the place because of the pandemic.
This is so insane ... and the fact the both survived and healed so well ... it’s so amazing
I bawled my eyes out as soon as I saw the kind man holding Marcus’ hand in the video. The complete kindness of a stranger. Praise God.
This was attempted murder--correction, I see what you said. I hope the crime investigation is complete. The man needs to be charged. I'm grateful to Jesus that you are recovering well.
same, but i hear him every single day :'D
I bawled my eyes out. Hearing how Kristin was trying to make Marcus talk... My heart shattered. Like I can't imagine the fear of me and my love going through something like that. Then when he heard her screaming and had his brother cover his ears I lost it. 💔😭😭 You both are so strong. I love the fact that God was the first thing you turned to. That just shows your strength in the Lord. I am praying for you guys (Also when you both started trying to embarrass each other was so precious 😂😂♥️ love you guys).
Exactly one year later (today is 05/11/22) and you both are healthy and alive and have the most beautiful baby boy. I’m so thankful you both survived to live a beautiful life with your baby, cherish every moment 💜
When Kristin talked about the old man holding her hand, it made me believe he was an angel from Heaven. God saved your life and we are all so happy you both are recovering!
The Lord really had His absolute hand of protection on y’all, all circumstances considered. The extent of the injuries and what they could’ve been.. wow. What a testimony.
Very scary with Kristin’s complications, though. Your recovery will certainly continue to be in my prayers through the process.
Seeing the video of both of you laying on the ground and the lady saying “don’t move”. Broke my heart ! I am so sorry you guys had to go through that due to a selfish man. Bless the lord for being by your side and protecting you. I can’t imagine how your parents felt knowing their children where hurt. How Ashlyn felt knowing she couldn’t do anything knowing she was in a different country. I’m glad you guys are safe now.
Vanessa Marin which video? ❤️
Moral of the story: wear your goddamn helmet.
Haha ya
Please fix you wording that is such poor wording you should edit that curse word out and btw that were talk about a sad experience they had so please don't put words in their mouths
Katie Ellington u are right they are lucky to live not wear your helmet they had there helmets on and it was a blessing that they are living and you know they are blessed people and they love god that is how they are alive and they are ok now and they can stand and they are not traumatize witch is awesome god bless them and god bless all of u guys reading this
Actually the moral of the story is Jesus saves and protects. Believe in Him. And you just used the Lord's name in vain. I would ask God for forgiveness and repent if I were you. That's breaking one of God's 10 commandments.

"THE POTATOES COULD BE BETTER. NOT GONNA LIE." love you guys. God is powerful. so happy you're okay.
I’m like tearing up through this whole thing. I was in a near-death car accident and should have died. I KNOW the bravery it takes to speak about your accident. I can only imagine Marcus having to edit this and see yourself like that. I’ve never had more respect for you two, your strength, and your faith in Jesus. I’m incredulous at you. You should be proud of who you are
when you guys roast each other the last 5 minutes it made my heart melt because you both have gone through sometimes soooo traumatic not too long ago and who would've thought that you guys would be here sitting next to each other roasting one another in a loving way. aaaaah, bless Jesus for saving you both. ❤️
"I'm not gonna cry it's been too long" you may still cry for a long time and that's so normal! Praising God you're okay and praying for complete healing in every way.
Seeing you both smile again is everything.
Looking at these comments makes me so happy, look how Marcus and Kristin's journey has brought so many together! God is so good! And they are keeping the focus on God, it's amazing.
so true 🙏🙏
Am I the only one who thinks Camper aged a lot through all of this?! Like his sadness made him... age? 🥺
I know he has white on his face and kind of looks older but he's young still
I checked camper is only 3 !!
omg i was looking for this comment!!
OMG YESS
A lot of Golden retrievers grey around the face really quickly
after a nearly 3 year relationship my gf broke up with me & i've been pretty torn apart for almost a year but i watched this video and within minutes that feeling left me because i know i need to find someone that feels the way you guys feel about each other
Kristin: “I just want to vacuum my carpets”
Lol life with a golden retriever...that’s all I kept saying after my surgery 😂
But so happy y’all are doing better. God is good ❤️
When the investigation is closed and done with can you make another story time video like this explaining in detail what happened with the driver ?
God is SO good.
Wow, after watching this I’m AMAZED at how minor the injuries were compared to what they could’ve been. I’m an EMT and to see you both conscious and talking in the first video is absolutely incredible. God was definitely watching over you.
I was crying so hard when they wheeled Kristin in and Marcus said “I love you so much” and then I was cackling at “this SUCKS!” immediately after 😂😂
I ride my bike often and recently started biking to work. I don't have a helmet at the moment but knew i should get one. After hearing your story i just ordered a helmet off amazon. I'm filled with joy to hear God protected you and you're doing well now
Stories like this remind us that we're not invincible and that crazy things happen when you least expect it. Always good to remind us that we need to take precautions. I feel the same way too.
The power of Jesus is something else.. He is SOOOOO real. Praying for you guys!!
As an EMT, when you were describing the accident, I had chills. We are trained to assess the scene to get an idea of injuries and yours... thank God you guys are okay.
I can’t tell you how much I cried
Same... I balled 🥺
omg same girl!!!!
Sameeee, literally everytime they updated us on insta I either teared up or cried my eyes out NO JOKE
Same & even watching this video has me crying.
Same
Aw Kris going “it’s been too long”. No girl! This is a trauma and healing, while totally possible, is layered and takes time. I still cry over my childhood traumas- it’s totally normal. Praying for you both!
Same, I've had one and when I think of it or talk about it, I still cry and its been 11 years
Marcus’ face the entire time she’s talking about her hip, the surgery, the pulmonary embolism is so...heartbreaking.
I’m watching this for the second time and still can’t believe what y’all went through. You’ve been super transparent about the physical healing process, but I pray that the emotional healing has gone just as well. Don’t be afraid to talk about what you went through to each other, your loved ones, or to a professional. You both deserve the best!
First 25 minutes. Story.
Last 5 minutes: Kristin and Marcus roasting each other. 😂
Hahah we had to have a happy ending 😂❤️
@@marcusjohns yess and that's what's so great about y'all!
Praise Jesus. Praise Jesus. Praise Jesus!!!
(also the “this sucks” from Marcus made me laugh so hard while also crying 😭)
YES. LITERALLY SAME. 😂
“Kristin I love you so much... THIS SUCKS”
i think you meant to say
praise a nonexistent myth
praise a nonexistent myth
praise a nonexistent myth!!!
SpongeBob Fan1000 why can’t you just respect people’s beliefs and not be a troll for one day?
When I first saw Kristin's Instagram post in the hospital, my heart Dropped. I've never known anyone to get in this type of accident, and knowing it was two of my favorite TH-camrs who truly feel like friends of mine, was literally the scariest thing ever. When I saw the video I instantly started praying for the both of you, asking the Lord to please help and heal you both from your injuries. God is just so good, and even though I wish this would have never happened to y'all I know the Lord has a much bigger purpose for this happening. I will continue to pray for you both for a quick recovery ❤️
Ps. Seeing that you both still have your sense of humor, and can still laugh together, makes my heart so happy ☺️💕
It kinda freaks me out how the doctors say it's nothing without being 100% sure and a while later they call and say oops. I know no one is perfect, but when the patient says something doesn't feel right, as a doctor you shouldn't assume they are exaggerating or its "phantom pain" smh
Me too. I’m so afraid about that. Doctors can be scary and unpredictable.
He allowed you to get hit, but He held you during the impact. He's been with you!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
This whole thing broke my heart, but the dog part hurt so bad. They just don’t understand 😭 I find myself crying about how much of life dogs don’t understand, all the time 🥺
underrated comment ^^^^^^
I was honestly typing in you guys’ names into the search on Instagram every. Single. Day. Waiting for updates. Prayed for you so much. I’m sooooo glad y’all are alive and walking and I’m so incredibly amazed by your grace and positive attitudes. God bless
I was doing the exact same thing! 💛
yes I did the same!
that video of kristen getting rolled up next to marcus when they’re in the hospital bed and he’s just like “kristen baby I love you” literally made me lose it. so grateful you guys made it out alive and stronger than ever. your relationship is now even more beautiful
