I didn’t realize that your family was adjusting to a divorce just before this accident, so you all have seriously been thru so many changes this past year! Y’all are so resilient and genuine! ❤️
I noticed the same situation. So many changes and still have love 💕 and comprehension … that is so wonderful. Please tell your brother try to be near your mom 😌🧡🌈. God blessed this family 💔🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌈🧡🧡🧡🧡
" I'm never going to walk again but I'll be fine. ," Floored .. but that's what keeps me coming back . Myriah is as beautiful as she is kind and I would entrust her with my face any day or anything else !
Kudos to Jen for raising such loving, giving and mature daughters. Makayla’s wisdom and insight during this time is astounding for her age, as is Mariah’s. Continued blessings to you all. ❤️🙏🏼❤️
A little spoiled and entitled. Macayla said once her mother asks her to clean ver room she definitely wont and how it i furiates her...please ..... I will say from a unfortunate accident she is a very lucky lady to have family so dedicated and commited to looking after Macayla .
@@aspenrobinson8797 Dude. She’s a teenager, I’m sure lots of teens rebelled by not cleaning their rooms because they were told too lmao. Hell I’m sure teens do worse like drugs to rebel, but this girl not cleaning her room…Damn, that crossed your line.
Our story is similar to yours, as our lives changed on Mar.11, 2020 when our oldest daughter suffered a hemorrhagic stroke. A year before, my husband and I became separated and he left. That was a difficult period for me, and it was compounded by my daughter's health crisis. She spent 6 days in ICU, 3 months in the stroke unit and 6 months in a rehabilitation hospital 2 hours away from home. Visiting was limited because of the restrictions at the time so it felt like a triple whammy. But God has helped us through it. Our family has always been close as well and so all of the siblings (3) helped out. When my daughter had to be 2 hours away, her younger sister who lived nearby, visited her every week and brought her what she needed. My oldest son lives further away so he was limited in physically helping out but he called her regularly to encourage her. It's me, my daughter and my youngest son at home and we too have a unique relationship with one another. My son helps me with his sister and when I need to go out because her speech is still limited as well as her mobility ( her right arm is still weak but getting stronger with occupational therapy but for now she has to use her left arm only ). She was able to walk without a cane a year after but she gets frustrated the most with her speech. We are thankful to God for the progress she has made, and yes, for us, it's a day to day thing as well and each of us have our support people too as my daughter continues her rehabilitation with physio, speech and OT. . Blessings to all of you.
Such a mature attitude. So realistic and yet so optimistic. I love the sisters together. I had no idea they were 5 years apart. Not because they look so young but because they are so close.
As a caregiver for my Mom I understand the importance of self care. Mariah you and your Mom need a couple hours every day for You. A night out with friends once in a while is also good. It brings you back refreshed and helps you all to be better together. Makayla ...I am sure that you understand that for them too. You are all loved and appreciated so much!!
I am a stroke survivor, of just about a decade, and I was having a low moment a month ago. So I TH-camd what a paraplegic goes through, thinking that I would feel better about myself, as humanly speaking, a person dealing with issues can sometimes feel better about seeing somebody who’s worse off, and what did I find?? A young lady, our girls age and I have three, who definitely made me ashamed of myself. Not in a bad way, but, looking for people who are worse off than me, I found a young lady that deals with issues in a “hat tipping” way. I’m sure you and your mom and your sister all have your moments, but all of you lady’s positivity is infectious. I was a long-haul truck driver, (TH-cam steel hauler) where trucking for me was not just a job or a career, but a definite lifestyle. I owned the truck and the trailer. And it’s all gone, and that was very hard for me to sell. And I thought to myself at the time, this is terrible. So…..YouTubing paraplegic, i’ve come to the awful realization that as a cheerleader, this is really bad for you as well. And while I can hobble around and carry a coffee with my good arm without spilling (sometimes) and shower and go to the bathroom by myself, I still need help getting my laundry washed, and my pills dolled out, and food. I have to stay away from ovens or anything hot. (my wife is an amazing cook) so instead of seeing somebody worse often me, what has happened is I have been inspired by all of you. I have definitely subscribed to your channel, and your cheerful uploads keep me smiling. All of you ladies are an inspiration. Cheers from Ontario Canada.
Makayla you are so mature for a 16 year old. Thank you for being real yet approaching life in general with a positive attitude. You’re inspiring so many people.
YOU GUYS ARE UNBELIEVABLE!!!! What an inspiration you all are!!!!!!!!!! The love you have is a renewal of mankind God is POURING HIS GRACE ON YOU!!!!!! YOU WILL CHANGE LIVES WITH YOUR STORY!!!!!!! God Bless You all 💖💖💖!!!!!!!!!
You girls are so sweet loving and beautiful! You are all so lucky to have each other I think it is absolutely wonderful that Mariah takes such good care of you! That is so good you all are going to counseling! I can only imagine what a hard time it was for mom during your accident she had so much on her plate..I have so much respect for her way to go Mom!!! You are very strong and I now know where Makayla got her strength from! Great video girls thank you for sharing with all of us have a great week see you in the next video!!!!
The emotional intelligence, humility and wisdom you guys have blows me away. It’s really amazing and inspiring to witness your love and tolerance for each other and your individual and unique strength of character. Keep taking it one day at a time! Watching this video gave me some confidence and inspiration to face my own problems head on with more grace and gratitude. Thanks for making these videos!!
Hi ladies! You all are such an inspiration! I loved this video! My husband, Mark was diagnosed w ALS, May 97. Like you said, we were in the prime of our lives, looking forward to our future together, & then “Bam!” everything changed. I’ve been my husband’s primary caregiver from day one. Still taking it one day at a time 25 years later. 🙂.
That is amazing and a blessing your husband is still with you 25 years later. My father is 4 years in his ALS journey and we are thankful for every day.
Beautiful strong intelligent women. My mom and I were not close, so it's heartwarming to see you all working on your relationships and life together. Thank you for sharing your journey!!
Your advice to take one moment at a time reaches the heart coz you know what you are talking about. You girls are really blessed to have this close relationship with each other. Thank you for sharing your journey so openly, it can help many to go through difficult times 💓💓💓💓
Thank you so much for the laughs. Just to watch you guys bounce off each other. I'm so humbled to come across your channel. Keep smiling it's contagious. Cheers Daz
Thank you so much for that eye-opening comment about not worrying about the future and living in the moment. Already it has been a huge help to me. You are such an inspiration! ❤️❤️❤️
I recently just found your channel and I just wanted to say that I'm already super proud of you for being so positive during times like this. I honestly have no idea how you do it and I love you and your family so much. praying for a speedy recovery🤍
You are right!! My grandmother used to say...take one step at a time. If you look at the big picture it will feel overwhelming, but if u just concentrate on what you are doing I the moment. Your daughter's sound like u mom!! Mini you...both of them. You have beautiful daughters.
That a blessed relationship you girls have, life itself prepare you all for doing this. As a caregiver myself I understand how important self-care is, and also the advice of "take one day or one moment at a time", I'm writing that on my mirror so I can read it every day as soon as I wake up, I needed to hear that today💖💖💖
I see so much love in your little family. You all are so wonderful and I believe God has big things in store for you! Thank you for sharing your journey. It is very inspiring.
Yall's honesty and faith is so refreshing ... you are so right most of social media is photoshopped to seem like everyone's life is so perfect and amazing and people tend to leave out how they really feel or the challenges that are happening in their life and so when we look at it we feel like our lives are messed up... so thank you for sharing yall are saints
I love Makayla's comment towards the end about how people need to stop focusing on the future and enjoy the present times. It's what you do NOW that will set you up for a better future. Don't wait for the future to come....start today
You guys are truly a beautiful family and had me crying ! This is so heartwarming I hope you guys always stay super close this is so touching I wish u guys the best and I hope mikayla heals tremendously miracles happen everyday and she deserves it 💙💙
I want to take time to thank your mother for being such a special woman. It’s not easy, but she is so strong thank you for being such a great person and your sister to is so beautiful and so loving I wish you guys the best never surrender.
You ladies are 100 percent AMAZING! I really value your dynamic and great attitudes that all of you have for life in general. You have really inspired me in my life to be a more positive and accepting person when things can not be changed. Makayla you have the best outlook on everything that i see going on around you. All 3 of you do really and i couldn't imagine anyone speaking a bad word about anyone of ya'll. I think I could write all day about the respect i have for you, but lt's time to get my butt in gear. Thank you so much for your sharing ur experiences. Stay beautiful inside and out!
Its so easy to be perfect on social media, I'm trying to learn how to just live in the moment.....I thank God for putting Makayla's video in front of me.....You all are very loving caring people your strength shows through, keep up what your doing and my God bless you every day...
Sisters are the best! I lost mine 10 years ago. And it was like losing a part of me. I am so thankful that you two have each other. It's the sweetest bond. It's something that you can't really get with any other person in the world. You both are strong beautiful inspirational. Thank you so much for having the courage to share your story. And letting the world witness the bond between the three of you. God bless you sweetie.
I haven't seen you for a while, Makayla. I am so happy that you can move your arms so much!! I am so happy for you. I am so happy that you are such a close knit family!
Y'all are just awesome! I wish I lived closer (I am nowhere near). I'm an RN and I'd love to be a relief hitter for Mariah/mom on days they need a hand. All three of you are very special and I wish you the best!
@Tiffany yeah, what makes me a creep?? I am probably around the same age as Makayla's mom and I have three kids myself around the same ages! And I'm a nurse who totally understands caregiver fatigue! Good heavens, I was just trying to be nice. A creep I am not. :(
You guys are such a united family. And you guys look so much alike. But wow! I had to rewind the video a little, your mom looks so young. I thought at first that she was like your older sister or something. You and your sister have your mom’s genes! You are so blessed!
I'm a nursing student and your story - yours alone - inspired me to learn about spinal cord injuries so I can make a difference for people like you one day in the future. youtube just recommended your day in the life video one day and it all started from there
It was so good to meet mom a little bit more!!!!! Your sister The way she loves just brought me to tears. I don't have a great bond with my sister. And I always wished for it. So seeing your relationship with her just makes me so happy. The love between you all is just beyond beautiful. Thank you for letting us know more! It's so inspiring to listen and hear all the trials and tribulations y'all went through. Love you all !
This is absolutely perfect. I love your family and I am beyond blessed to hear your story. I love watching your positivity outlook on life. Your sisterly bond is beautiful.
thank you makayla! ...... iv been anxious about the future, living there. thank you for this reminder about being present, you never know the detours around the corner, his divinely planned detours.
I love the relationship the three you you have. I take care of my mom who has dimentia. I have a great support system within my family and I know that no one would take as good of care as w do and love her the way we do. Mariah, your love form Makayla shows with your actions on a daily basis and how selfless you are. God will continue to bless your family.
Talking and eating and having a mother and a sister like these two. Gold. Still hard still challenging still so much work to do but you are getting so much stronger. And you will get your independence and life back. Brave soldiers all of 3 . Like the musketeers xxxx
I agree with what your mom says at the 30:35 mark. I have a rare genetic condition that causes issues with pretty much everything in my body and is degenerative. If I look long term, I get overwhelmed so I just take life each day, I don't let myself worry about the statistics about my conditions. From age 19-28, I was unable to eat food, and was kept alive with intravenous nutrition infusions called TPN through a picc line and I'd constantly have people say things like "You are so strong I don't know how you do it, how are you always so happy and laughing" and it honestly, it was sweet of them but it could get frustrating because it's impossible to explain to healthy people, that when you are faced with going through life in a body that is sick or not working the way it's supposed to, you just keep going. You cant let it win, cant let yourself just curl into a ball and never get up, I have never seen myself as "strong" for continuing to be who I am lol I'm just me and I feel like being miserable and obsessing on all the bad things would just make life even harder than it already is. I remember being in the ICU and I was so bored lol I kept begging the doctors to let me go on a "walk"(in a wheelchair, with my IV pump attached, with my Mom) and the doctor being like "I've worked in the ICU for 15 years, I've never had a patient in your condition beg to get out of bed, you aren't supposed to leave your room. I'm going to let your mom take you for a quick spin, you have to promise to be back in 20 minutes and leave you and your mom's cell phone number on the wipe board but I just want to let you know how weird this is"😂 Having a positive outlook, being able to have a sense of humor about it all, is absolutely the best way to handle things but remember that its okay to have days where you arent okay too
So sorry you have to deal with that. You are stronger than you think if you dont think you're strong, lol. Mind me asking the name of the disease? Just curious.
I just happen to see this post and surely brought back memories for me. My Brother broke his Neck in High School during Gym. He broke his Spin Cord and was a Paralyzed from waist down. He was 17. It was very difficult for our Family. He was 54 when he passed. I cannot begin to explain the technology that has come today since that tragic day. You are a Beautiful, Courageous young lady and I know in my heart you will do well. I will forever pray for you and your Amazing, Caring Family
You 3 are truly inspiring. Myriah is an angel. Praying for you guys every day and sending so much love. I’m in awe when I think about how God works. He really knew what He was doing when He created your beautiful family and His plans for all of you 💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you ladies! You three are amazing people with great and positive attitudes. You are very inspiring and we can all learn from your journey. It’s hard to believe it’s only been 6 months, you’ve come so far!!!
This is probably the most "real" video you have put out. Even Makayla's voice is true. If that makes sense. It not a "video" voice. She's speaking from her heart. There were some real gems of wisdom in this video. I am not a stranger to trauma that radically changes your life. Response is so much a part of the outcome. There is true peace and joy knowing that God handed you something you could handle. Apart from my trauma, I have watched my brother and sister-in-law travel the road you travel. They were in a car accident with their newborn and my sister in law suffered a broken neck leaving her a quadriplegic. 25+ years later, they've had three more children, built a business, and also pastor a church. Good will walk before you, behind you, and with you. Blessings to your family.
Ladies, you all are sooo inspiring 🤗Makayla, yes, attitude is great!! You're an inspiration to someone else who is going through or will go through. May the Lord continue blessing your family 🙏🙏🤗🤗
Your family is so strong!!! Love how real and honest all of you are!!! Thank-You for increasing awareness of how positive you are even during daily challenges!!!🤟❤️🥰
Your positive attitude is amazing, you are a special young lady. I am impressed with the interaction between your sister & your mom. What a lovely family. You are all very lucky to be so close.
Makayla, Iam so in owe of what God has done in your heart. Ive watched your vidoes before and after. You were a beautiful soul prior to your accident and I have watched God grow that beauty into an even more amazing soul. The world is so blessed to have you inspiring us. Thank you for sharing your journey. I look forward to where God takes you. Iam so grateful for you!
Makayla you are so mature for your age & a ray of sunshine!🌞 I love that you ladies lift each other up…. I have been watching your vlogs & journey. You send a huge positive message to the world to keep pushing forward no matter what life brings you. Thank you for your smile & spirit…. 🦋🦄💜🎀🌈
Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us! My husband is a FF/Medic and he always says, "If you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans!" I love the bond that the three of you share! I have two adult daughters and I feel so blessed to have them in my life. I am still raising my 16 year old baby boy of the family. He is full throttle every day riding his skateboard around town. Between my son living life in the fast lane and my husband working EMS/fire it is a wonder I sleep at night. Please keep sharing with us! May God bless you three with many more awesome years being close.
Y’all’s relationship reminds me a lot of my family’s relationship. Such a blessing, to be so close, and understanding of each other, lifting each other up, and the unconditional Love. Thank you for keeping things grounded, and real. I have no doubt, that you all will reach your goals, and continue to inspire others, along the way! ❤️❤️❤️
Perfection is a very good point. I was dubbed Miss Perfect in high school. Not as a snobby thing, it’s just something that my close friends used to say. But now in my 40’s I’m not that same person and a lot of the same physical qualities I had are long gone. So my perfection is gone and it’s a hard lesson to accept that you can no longer meet the standard you set in the past. I feel like I’m not meeting the expected standards I was held to in the past. Other attributes that are not necessarily physical now take centre stage. But it was difficult to overcome and it’s still a work in progress.
All three of you are absolutely amazing and adorable! Your relationships are just beautiful, and I cannot imagine a more perfect trio to get through these challenges. My daughter will be a Freshman at PHS next year, and I know we both look forward to seeing Makayla's beautiful spirit and smile around school. Keep up the amazing job, and know that you are impacting so many others lives in an incredible way. So much love to all of you
WoW, those precious kids Loved having you visit them! And, so many have their paintings to you! You r such an inspiration to others! You are changing in people's lives! Not sure what you will be studying in college, but I hope you consider being a teacher.
it seams every time I watch yr vids I cry and it not because of yr accident it is how much you embrace life and how yr family takes care of you, it is amazing to see that because I was rase that you don't show love, my father was not a father and my mom was the glue doing her best but un able to keep the glue to stick. I have a brother that is homeless and don't know if he is alive , safe or who knows and that is because the system that is out there for people that need help in life .
May God always keep you this amazing relationship with your mom and sister for you. Your mom is amazing I don't know many moms who try to be this supportive, positive , and protective in the same time. I love your videos and wish you all three many happy days to come!
You are taking this so well but are you really taking this so well. Are you just putting on a happy face to protect your family. You're number one and if you feel like you're not as strong as you thought or as strong as your family thought please let that out. You are amazing so so amazing. It blows my mind how strong you are. But even the strongest people need to scream sometimes and need to lean on somebody sometimes. For your age I just can't imagine and you are going to go far in this world because of how wonderful you are
Makayla you are such an amazing person!! I know this a hard long journey but you’re seriously so strong and happy! I hope and wish all the best for you and your family!
You are a miracle and I love your being so close. Keep moving forward, you inspire all of us. All 3 of you ♥️ Much love sent and prayers always! One day at a time, you are so right
I'm so glad you guys had a New post up! I check it all the time because I don't wanna miss it! I'm in a wheelchair,for 5 years now. I did not have the beautiful attitude you have.and because of that I wasted so much time purposely NOT trying to find my blessings everyday. Best quote ever to take from this post is LIVE IN THE MOMENT! You gals are rockin' it out! God bless you all.
Myriah saying “I was ABLE to be in the ICU with Makayla,” vs. saying “I HAD to be in the ICU with Makayla” speaks volumes.
Meaning?🤔
I didn’t realize that your family was adjusting to a divorce just before this accident, so you all have seriously been thru so many changes this past year! Y’all are so resilient and genuine! ❤️
I noticed the same situation. So many changes and still have love 💕 and comprehension … that is so wonderful. Please tell your brother try to be near your mom 😌🧡🌈. God blessed this family 💔🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌈🧡🧡🧡🧡
Three of the strongest women out there 🙏🏻❤️
Yes, INDEED!❤️🥰❤️
I agree ☝️ 💯 God bless you all ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Y’all’s love for one another is making me tear up. What a beautiful family. Sending you ladies love
" I'm never going to walk again but I'll be fine. ," Floored .. but that's what keeps me coming back . Myriah is as beautiful as she is kind and I would entrust her with my face any day or anything else !
Makayla should definitely write a book. She could inspire so many people.
Kudos to Jen for raising such loving, giving and mature daughters. Makayla’s wisdom and insight during this time is astounding for her age, as is Mariah’s. Continued blessings to you all. ❤️🙏🏼❤️

Yall's honesty and faith is so refreshing ... you are so right most of social media is photoshopped to seem like everyone's life is so perfect and amazing and people tend to leave out how they really feel or the challenges that are happening in their life and so when we look at it we feel like our lives are messed up... so thank you for sharing yall are saints
I love Makayla's comment towards the end about how people need to stop focusing on the future and enjoy the present times. It's what you do NOW that will set you up for a better future. Don't wait for the future to come....start today
Wow, what a beautiful family. Your love for each other is precious and rare. So BLESSED!
You guys are truly a beautiful family and had me crying ! This is so heartwarming I hope you guys always stay super close this is so touching I wish u guys the best and I hope mikayla heals tremendously miracles happen everyday and she deserves it 💙💙
I want to take time to thank your mother for being such a special woman. It’s not easy, but she is so strong thank you for being such a great person and your sister to is so beautiful and so loving I wish you guys the best never surrender.
I'm blown away by your sister. Everyone should have a sister like Mariah 💜
You ladies are 100 percent AMAZING! I really value your dynamic and great attitudes that all of you have for life in general. You have really inspired me in my life to be a more positive and accepting person when things can not be changed. Makayla you have the best outlook on everything that i see going on around you. All 3 of you do really and i couldn't imagine anyone speaking a bad word about anyone of ya'll. I think I could write all day about the respect i have for you, but lt's time to get my butt in gear. Thank you so much for your sharing ur experiences. Stay beautiful inside and out!
Its so easy to be perfect on social media, I'm trying to learn how to just live in the moment.....I thank God for putting Makayla's video in front of me.....You all are very loving caring people your strength shows through, keep up what your doing and my God bless you every day...
Thank you for the honesty. Y'all are so beautiful...inside and out!!
Sisters are the best! I lost mine 10 years ago. And it was like losing a part of me. I am so thankful that you two have each other. It's the sweetest bond. It's something that you can't really get with any other person in the world. You both are strong beautiful inspirational. Thank you so much for having the courage to share your story. And letting the world witness the bond between the three of you. God bless you sweetie.
I haven't seen you for a while, Makayla. I am so happy that you can move your arms so much!! I am so happy for you. I am so happy that you are such a close knit family!
Y'all are just awesome! I wish I lived closer (I am nowhere near). I'm an RN and I'd love to be a relief hitter for Mariah/mom on days they need a hand. All three of you are very special and I wish you the best!
CREEP
Myriah- not Mariah
@Tiffany yeah, what makes me a creep?? I am probably around the same age as Makayla's mom and I have three kids myself around the same ages! And I'm a nurse who totally understands caregiver fatigue! Good heavens, I was just trying to be nice. A creep I am not. :(
@@Just.D Ah! I misspelled her name. Sorry about that! No harm intended.
You guys are such a united family. And you guys look so much alike. But wow! I had to rewind the video a little, your mom looks so young. I thought at first that she was like your older sister or something. You and your sister have your mom’s genes!
You are so blessed!
I'm a nursing student and your story - yours alone - inspired me to learn about spinal cord injuries so I can make a difference for people like you one day in the future. youtube just recommended your day in the life video one day and it all started from there
It was so good to meet mom a little bit more!!!!! Your sister The way she loves just brought me to tears. I don't have a great bond with my sister. And I always wished for it. So seeing your relationship with her just makes me so happy. The love between you all is just beyond beautiful. Thank you for letting us know more! It's so inspiring to listen and hear all the trials and tribulations y'all went through. Love you all !
This is absolutely perfect. I love your family and I am beyond blessed to hear your story. I love watching your positivity outlook on life. Your sisterly bond is beautiful.
Your family dynamic is so admirable.
thank you makayla! ...... iv been anxious about the future, living there. thank you for this reminder about being present, you never know the detours around the corner, his divinely planned detours.
You ladies are inspirational. So positive. So warm and so Texan… lone star state for the win
I love the relationship the three you you have. I take care of my mom who has dimentia. I have a great support system within my family and I know that no one would take as good of care as w do and love her the way we do. Mariah, your love form Makayla shows with your actions on a daily basis and how selfless you are. God will continue to bless your family.
Talking and eating and having a mother and a sister like these two. Gold. Still hard still challenging still so much work to do but you are getting so much stronger. And you will get your independence and life back. Brave soldiers all of 3 . Like the musketeers xxxx
Thank you for this. You are a very wise young woman Makala. So lucky to have such a close relationship with your mom and sister. Very lovely family.
thank you! incredible testimony from all of you. Makayla so brave and full of optimism, Myriah selfless and kind, Mom was a warrior. Love you guys!
I agree with what your mom says at the 30:35 mark. I have a rare genetic condition that causes issues with pretty much everything in my body and is degenerative. If I look long term, I get overwhelmed so I just take life each day, I don't let myself worry about the statistics about my conditions. From age 19-28, I was unable to eat food, and was kept alive with intravenous nutrition infusions called TPN through a picc line and I'd constantly have people say things like "You are so strong I don't know how you do it, how are you always so happy and laughing" and it honestly, it was sweet of them but it could get frustrating because it's impossible to explain to healthy people, that when you are faced with going through life in a body that is sick or not working the way it's supposed to, you just keep going. You cant let it win, cant let yourself just curl into a ball and never get up, I have never seen myself as "strong" for continuing to be who I am lol I'm just me and I feel like being miserable and obsessing on all the bad things would just make life even harder than it already is. I remember being in the ICU and I was so bored lol I kept begging the doctors to let me go on a "walk"(in a wheelchair, with my IV pump attached, with my Mom) and the doctor being like "I've worked in the ICU for 15 years, I've never had a patient in your condition beg to get out of bed, you aren't supposed to leave your room. I'm going to let your mom take you for a quick spin, you have to promise to be back in 20 minutes and leave you and your mom's cell phone number on the wipe board but I just want to let you know how weird this is"😂
Having a positive outlook, being able to have a sense of humor about it all, is absolutely the best way to handle things but remember that its okay to have days where you arent okay too
So sorry you have to deal with that. You are stronger than you think if you dont think you're strong, lol. Mind me asking the name of the disease? Just curious.
The 3 of you are such an inspiration of strength and love. Such compassion and commitment to each other...God bless you..
I just happen to see this post and surely brought back memories for me. My Brother broke his Neck in High School during Gym. He broke his Spin Cord and was a Paralyzed from waist down. He was 17. It was very difficult for our Family. He was 54 when he passed. I cannot begin to explain the technology that has come today since that tragic day. You are a Beautiful, Courageous young lady and I know in my heart you will do well. I will forever pray for you and your Amazing, Caring Family
You 3 are truly inspiring. Myriah is an angel. Praying for you guys every day and sending so much love. I’m in awe when I think about how God works. He really knew what He was doing when He created your beautiful family and His plans for all of you 💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you ladies! You three are amazing people with great and positive attitudes. You are very inspiring and we can all learn from your journey. It’s hard to believe it’s only been 6 months, you’ve come so far!!!
This is probably the most "real" video you have put out. Even Makayla's voice is true. If that makes sense. It not a "video" voice. She's speaking from her heart. There were some real gems of wisdom in this video. I am not a stranger to trauma that radically changes your life. Response is so much a part of the outcome. There is true peace and joy knowing that God handed you something you could handle.
Apart from my trauma, I have watched my brother and sister-in-law travel the road you travel. They were in a car accident with their newborn and my sister in law suffered a broken neck leaving her a quadriplegic. 25+ years later, they've had three more children, built a business, and also pastor a church. Good will walk before you, behind you, and with you. Blessings to your family.
Ladies, you all are sooo inspiring 🤗Makayla, yes, attitude is great!! You're an inspiration to someone else who is going through or will go through. May the Lord continue blessing your family 🙏🙏🤗🤗
I really wish I had a mother like yours. You're so lucky to have her .
True...her mother is a gem
I literally love you all!! Three incredible, amazing, calm, courageous, wise woman! 💜
Its important that she said she was going to be fine from the beginning, that confession was powerful. She will surely be fine
Your family is so strong!!! Love how real and honest all of you are!!! Thank-You for increasing awareness of how positive you are even during daily challenges!!!🤟❤️🥰
You’re all very pretty.
I watched a few of your videos. You’re progressing incredibly well.
Your positive attitude is amazing, you are a special young lady. I am impressed with the interaction between your sister & your mom. What a lovely family. You are all very lucky to be so close.
Your strength is unmatched. You inspire people. We will be your armor.
I definitely wanna hang out with your mom 😂 she seems like the life of the party haha. Yall are so gorgeous!
You three are such a strong team. What a beautiful example you are of strength and resilience.
Makayla, Iam so in owe of what God has done in your heart. Ive watched your vidoes before and after. You were a beautiful soul prior to your accident and I have watched God grow that beauty into an even more amazing soul. The world is so blessed to have you inspiring us. Thank you for sharing your journey. I look forward to where God takes you. Iam so grateful for you!
Makayla you are such an inspiration ❤I love watching your videos both on TH-cam and TikTok. X
I love your channel, you are so strong and have a great attitude on life!!
Makayla you are so mature for your age & a ray of sunshine!🌞 I love that you ladies lift each other up…. I have been watching your vlogs & journey. You send a huge positive message to the world to keep pushing forward no matter what life brings you. Thank you for your smile & spirit…. 🦋🦄💜🎀🌈
Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us! My husband is a FF/Medic and he always says, "If you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans!" I love the bond that the three of you share! I have two adult daughters and I feel so blessed to have them in my life. I am still raising my 16 year old baby boy of the family. He is full throttle every day riding his skateboard around town. Between my son living life in the fast lane and my husband working EMS/fire it is a wonder I sleep at night. Please keep sharing with us! May God bless you three with many more awesome years being close.
Y’all’s relationship reminds me a lot of my family’s relationship. Such a blessing, to be so close, and understanding of each other, lifting each other up, and the unconditional Love. Thank you for keeping things grounded, and real. I have no doubt, that you all will reach your goals, and continue to inspire others, along the way! ❤️❤️❤️
Perfection is a very good point. I was dubbed Miss Perfect in high school. Not as a snobby thing, it’s just something that my close friends used to say. But now in my 40’s I’m not that same person and a lot of the same physical qualities I had are long gone. So my perfection is gone and it’s a hard lesson to accept that you can no longer meet the standard you set in the past. I feel like I’m not meeting the expected standards I was held to in the past. Other attributes that are not necessarily physical now take centre stage. But it was difficult to overcome and it’s still a work in progress.
All three of you are absolutely amazing and adorable! Your relationships are just beautiful, and I cannot imagine a more perfect trio to get through these challenges. My daughter will be a Freshman at PHS next year, and I know we both look forward to seeing Makayla's beautiful spirit and smile around school. Keep up the amazing job, and know that you are impacting so many others lives in an incredible way. So much love to all of you
WoW, those precious kids Loved having you visit them! And, so many have their paintings to you! You r such an inspiration to others! You are changing in people's lives! Not sure what you will be studying in college, but I hope you consider being a teacher.
The mom is so beautiful
it seams every time I watch yr vids I cry and it not because of yr accident it is how much you embrace life and how yr family takes care of you, it is amazing to see that because I was rase that you don't show love, my father was not a father and my mom was the glue doing her best but un able to keep the glue to stick. I have a brother that is homeless and don't know if he is alive , safe or who knows and that is because the system that is out there for people that need help in life .
May God always keep you this amazing relationship with your mom and sister for you. Your mom is amazing I don't know many moms who try to be this supportive, positive , and protective in the same time. I love your videos and wish you all three many happy days to come!
Youre family is so BEAUTIFUL❤️
Youre love is so rare ❤️
You are taking this so well but are you really taking this so well. Are you just putting on a happy face to protect your family. You're number one and if you feel like you're not as strong as you thought or as strong as your family thought please let that out. You are amazing so so amazing. It blows my mind how strong you are. But even the strongest people need to scream sometimes and need to lean on somebody sometimes. For your age I just can't imagine and you are going to go far in this world because of how wonderful you are
She has been open about going through mental breakdowns and whatnot. It's ok to go back and forth.
I love how you just come on here without a care in the world of what people think . I envy you ! Your an amazing soul and so inspiring ! ❤️❤️
Wow! Every video you grow stronger. You have so much control over your body. Wonderful!
Mikayla, you are incredible and such an inspiration to others! Your supportive, beautiful family is amazing to watch ❤️
Makayla you are such an amazing person!! I know this a hard long journey but you’re seriously so strong and happy! I hope and wish all the best for you and your family!
You are a miracle and I love your being so close. Keep moving forward, you inspire all of us. All 3 of you ♥️ Much love sent and prayers always! One day at a time, you are so right
God has an amazing plan for your life!
I love the “rules are to be broken” rule! I raised my kids by that one too!
You and your sister looks and talk so much the same! So cute!!
I'm so glad you guys had a New post up! I check it all the time because I don't wanna miss it! I'm in a wheelchair,for 5 years now. I did not have the beautiful attitude you have.and because of that I wasted so much time purposely NOT trying to find my blessings everyday. Best quote ever to take from this post is LIVE IN THE MOMENT! You gals are rockin' it out! God bless you all.
Such brave and sweet words of wisdom from Mac. Thank you for sharing. You strengthen my faith ❤️
I love how close you guys are as a family and how open you are about everything. Also omg I love Tame Impala!! 💕
