About Cole & Charisma:
Welcome to the official Roll with Cole & Charisma TH-cam channel! Since the start of our relationship we've gotten a lot of questions about our experiences as not only an interracial couple, but an interabled one as well. On this channel you can catch us doing travel and adventure vlogs, challenges, our inclusion series, couple first times, music, and so much more! We started this vlog to bring people into our lives, to answer some questions about how we navigate the world, and hopefully raise awareness surrounding accessibility and dating in a wheelchair. You'll quickly see in our episodes that we're all about inclusion and keeping a great attitude no matter your circumstances, so if that's what you're into, you're in the right place!
I am a paraplegic and I agree 100% with the walking. There are things that others take for granted every day that’s beyond just walking. I really miss knowing when it’s time to potty, more than walking.
Interesting
I'm sure that is really a huge issue. I just can't imagine. I hope your situation is a good one, for you, and watching C & C should help you to "Stay positive" ❤️
Well said guys....
I want to know how you typed this. If you did it yourself, great job 👏🏻
@p Sanchez that’s patronizing af.
Hi ! I kept commenting about a woman who has had amniotic stem cells surgery but I don’t think you saw it . She was basically telling you guys she recovered 85% of feeling and sensation in her body. I hope you’ll see this comment ❤️
Commenting so they’ll see this 🤗
@@SSRIs x2
Interesting.
Very interesting
More info please- where was this surgery done and what type of an injury did she have in the first place??
I have been nurse for 37 years, but have learned so much more about paras, quads and other disabilities from watching your videos! Fairly new to your channel, but have watched all, your videos, some many times. What you are doing is just great, we all just love you and your families! 🥰
This is so informative. The way Charisma looks at Cole melts my heart. Sending love to you both
Thé way Cole looks at Charisma melts MY heart!
What do you mean ?
@@rain999wi6 the term "melts my heart" basically means makes me feel warm inside to see their beautiful love.
For what I see, Cole is starting to use more of his limbs more than what the doctors thought, so who knows what the future holds for him, like his grand pop said, GODS SPEED. Stay positive, I love y’all , one of my favorite couple ❤️🥰
Facts. Hope it works out for them.
Facts! Bowel function, tieing my shows, sensation, and the ability to pull my hair back by myself are a few things I would love to do! Thank you for reminding people there's so much more to us who have spinal cord injuries or paralysis.
I'm praying for you and others. The things we take for granted, some are praying to have or do. Keep hope alive 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I will never cease in believing that research, trials, and money for the research and individual operations. My husband, oldest daughter, niece, brother-in-law, are all registered nurses, plus my cousin is a cardiac specialist surgeons nurse.
My brother and I had 2 daughters both. I started this off with 1st daughter, 1990, is an RN. My brother’s 1st daughter, 1991, is both a physical therapist and a certified accountant for large firms. My 2nd daughter, 1993, is a successful business woman and world traveler. My brothers 2nd daughter, 1994, is a Nurse Practitioner. I made the decision to be a stay at home parent/child care giver. I raised our 4 girls together. They lived one street in back of us. When they were all finally in school I became an elementary school teacher for the next 23 years. Knowledge is Power!
I do understand and empathize with you. No one can know until they have walked a mile in your shoes. I do understand there were days I could not wash my face, brush my teeth or comb my hair. I thank God I never lost bowel or bladder functioning it was a challenge. My heart and prayers go out to you, and I wish you all the best.💞🙏
I am praying for each of you. As someone else said we often take so much for granted. #littlethings
One day Cole keep praying😇🙏🏼 and keep hoping and if not we still love you and Charisma 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😊
I like Cole’s personality. I watched older videos on this channel and on his mother, Kelly’s, channel from when Cole first had his accident and was in the hospital. He always seemed like a great person but through his accident and injuries he has because a person that I don’t think he would have become if he was not faced with everything he dealt with and is still dealing with. Cole has a different outlook on life now and that shows in these videos. Cole is grateful for life and you only see him get frustrated a few times. However, I am sure that he gets way more frustrated off camera but he is allowed. Cole is a role model on how to live life fully. You can see that Cole has a big heart and is a guy that wants to spread love to others in the world.
He said he is thankful and lucky to be alive, as he could have drowned. But nevertheless, he grew up a “very handsome dude”, can’t help admiring his handsomeness. ❤️
Thank you for sharing your life. My husband about 2 1/2 years ago had a C3-C7 spinal cord injury. I don’t know how much you guys realize the help you give to people. It has been a very challenging 2 1/2 years for myself and my husband. We live in Las Vegas and unfortunately there isn’t very much medical facilities for people with spinal cord injuries in this city. You guys are like my allies. If someone would’ve told me three years ago I would know so much about spinal cord injuries I would’ve laughed at them. I know you guys know personally how overwhelming it can be trying to find new information and re-search. To have someone I feel like helping me it’s so humbling. So yes please keep posting any information you guys find out. And yet again thank you so much for being brave enough to share your lives you have done so much for me personally and I know probably for so many other people. God bless you guys thank you for loving each other and supporting each other because I believe without each other you would never have been able to do this that has helped so many other people. I’m sorry for rambling on I just want you to know how much you’ve helped so many people myself included.Xxxx
I totally agree..... I'm a quad since 1989 and I always say/joke about, "I would love to wake up and walk into the bathroom and go pee." It's the simple things I miss. The wheelchair is an awesome invention. Now, let's keep working towards a cure.
I'm not a quad, but it is the simple things, you miss, I have been in situations, where I couldn't use my limbs, if you don't use it , you will loose it. I hope this works for you guys
I’m so excited that Cole & I, me as a c5-c7. To be alive during this time of such medical advancements to where we can eventually experience something so magical. I’m super ready
That was fascinating! I truly pray that Cole can regain as much function as possible. May God continue to bless you both.
I'm praying 🙏🏽 this will work for Cole.
Amen🙏🏾✝️
I love your content that's more "day in the life" vibes but I'm also 100% here for more science-y videos! These kinds of developments are super interesting :)
I don’t comment often but just wanted to say that you two are such a beautiful example of partnership, love and mutual support. I truly value the content you create.
....💖Cole, It Makes My Day When I See You And Charisma Together And Being So Positive ~ You Two Always Make This Old Lady’s Life Feel Hopeful ~ Blessings To The Both Of You💖🙏🏻....
I remember the video when Cole first stood up in therapy and they had y'all hug him. I cried because it was such a beautiful moment ❤️ I agree with the bowl function want over walking. It's the little things ❤️
That was very, very interesting. I had not realized that there could be more important functions for a person to regain, before walking. Yes, very educational! This aspect of research is so important, and we need to support it.
Yes to more science stuff! It is all very interesting and you explain it very well.
Thank you!! ❤️
I've been paraplegic for 17years and I understand Cole's perspective. Priorities changes the longer you've lived with a disability and for me, having full bladder and bowel function would be a huge relief. Walking again is and always will be a key desire of every paraplegic person but not being hung up on it is something you learn to do in order to move on and have a more fulfilling life
That would be beyond fantastic. Praying for a miracle 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
With these two they never dissapoint! Every video is an informative one... Its the way she looks at him when he is explaining for me... Love you guys.
I could listen to Cole and Charisma all day, the way Cole explains things makes it so easy to understand…. I just Love these 2❤️
Cole you are still so young anything is possible ♥️🇨🇦🌏⛓
It's my prayer for you Cole to walk again ever since I started following you guys so you can do some of the things you would love to do with your beautiful wife. Love you guys and I am hopeful.
Thank you for clarifying these latest articles. We are only three years into our daughter’s paraplegic journey and there is so much to learn…
This helps the average person with understanding. I appreciate you two helping others understand better. It’s important to educate ignorance. Thank you
Cole, please know you are an inspiration for so many with your out look of love of life. I can tell your videos are personally edited as they reflect your sense of humor and your positive attitude. I really appreciate how respectful you are with everyone you encounter, especially your parents. Your story is really very uplifting. Would love if you would do an interview with your friend who saved you at the river. I think you said his name is Will Woodward. It would be so helpful to many to hear his thoughts 10 years later from a more mature perspective. Please continue to #StayPositive
I know this comment is from a year ago, but I really like the idea!
Yes. Talk about it more. That's what I love you guys for.
Always such a blessing to see you both so positive! Amazing if the trial takes off but equally amazing to see you living life to the fullest here & now! 🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️
Ì
Eye opener! Never considered the other (non-walking) matters that are lost.
You are both amazing and so inspiring.! God bless you
The best part is that both of you guys are happy. There's always hope for anything you want, love keeps you guys full ever day.
Thank you for the info. My son is a quad and our doctor was telling him Friday about this study and it being in phase 2 and phase 3 would be next and it’s humans. Really gave him some encouragement
I will pray for you guys 🙏🏾
When my nephew suffered his injury back in the 2000s, they were doing some pretty impressive work with the patient's own stem cells at a clinic in Russia. The treatment wasn't approved in the US but it was so promising that the Mayo Clinic was willing to do the preparatory and post-treatment physical therapy. It wasn't, "Take up your mat and walk." The amount of mobility regained varied wildly and nobody was out dancing the polka when they came home. However most patients regained at least some bowel, bladder, and sexual function. Not as obvious to the outside observer as getting up and walking but certainly enough that I told my nephew I'd raise the money and go to Russia with him if he was interested. However, he never exactly was a go-getter and didn't have the gumption to want to do that much work without a promise of regaining mobility.
@@thesisypheanjournal1271 you're truly lovely for offering to help your nephew. I wish him all the best
I have a friend who became a quad due to a motorcycle crash. He also lost a leg. He just celebrated his 6 year anniversary of surviving the crash and he is working with the drs for stem cells. It is just incredible what he can do !!!!! NEVER GIVE UP! GOD BLESS
Let me say THANK YOU for this presentation. Although I have no physical handicaps (Thank You Lord), this was very interesting. I learned a lot watching this.
I watch ALL of your videos and I certainly appreciate you telling about your lives together.
Much love from Ghana 🇬🇭
Convenience Vs Independence.... great point. You guys are just awesome! Sending love and prayers! You help us all to STAY POSITIVE!🥰🤩🤗
Yes to more science stuff! We love to see you both so excited about it and you both deliver it way better than my science teacher did😂
You two are so adorable. Cole you are a smart man. You explain things really well. I could see you teaching.
Please keep these videos coming!! I have learned so much watching you guys. I was one of those people that automatically thought walking was a priority and didn’t even consider gaining back some organ function…very interesting and I like seeing you nerd out Cole! 🤓 Wishing the best for you guys! ❤️
I’m so excited to hear about this clinical trial and I work in a neuro rehabilitation unit as a neuro-physiotherapist and respect how you are currently managing and what you are looking into now! You are so encouraging and I agree the exoskeleton is not functional. I work with spinal clients and we work on a lot of standing therapy to encourage bowel management.
All the best looking I’m excited for you both 🤗
Love knowing that so much extensive break throughs are coming to fruition- I hope Cole can sooner than later get the functionalities that he wants. Love C and C
I can see the love that you two share and what an amazing human being Charisma is and so intelligent in the way she has educated herself with all the details around Cole and nothing faizes her.
You 2 explain things SO well that it really helps people, without Cole's injuries and without the stressors that your marriage endures, to understand. Whenever I run by to see how you both are doing, I find your in-depth explanations fascinating. I can understand clearly what you are doing, why and how. So glad to see that you are still doing well and thriving. Continued blessings to you!
Love the way you guys hit it the nail on the head everytime - thanks for sharing, and teaching and facilitating dialogue. I hope it doesn't feel too invasive 💛
My son Chris told me once, Mom, I don't need to walk again, I just want my hands to restore my dignity. Love you guys.
Thank you for educating us! Blessings to you both!
I love you guys and it's so good to see how committed and the love you have for each other.
God bless you both! It's amazing how the mind and body can adapt and adjust to almost anything. Cole seems happy with where he is but there are so many options in development for him to look forward to trying.
I absolutely love these types of videos because of how informative they are for people like me, who have no idea what this life is like. It's easy to get super excited about new things but important to know the full affects it will have on someone. Thanks, guys!!
The love you guys have for each other is amazing! That info you guys gave could be helpful for others that are going through similar injury to Cole! ❤️❤️
Loving the positivity and happy energy that shines through in every video, keep doing you and inspiring and helping others to learn more! 🌞🌞🌞🌞
So good to see how happy you both are. Thank you for the information. It's exciting and hopeful. Good news is what everyone needs now even if it doesn't affect us directly.
I love it! It’s also nice to hear what is important to you being 10 yrs into your accident vs someone how is newly injured. Whatever you put out I am Here for it!!!!
You two, are truly special💞 Thank you for sharing with all of us! Much love to you both💞
Your outlook is refreshing and inspiring. You two are amazing, I look forward to each video from you. Thanks for sharing and being here. God bless you both 🕊️
Very interesting content. Keep it coming. You never know when the information you share can be helpful to others. You guys are just the cutest. Along with being such a blessing not just to each other but to encourage others in your situation.
Charisma and Cole, it's always so exciting to hear you both speak on this topic. You, of course, know of what you speak. .. Please just stay in love and always stay happy about the future. .. Together, you are magic!! .. God Bless You Always, CC
I love all your posts and love seeing how positive you both are. Also hearing from someone who is going through something and to have a open conversation on treatments is awesome cause it really sheds light on the situation 😀
I learned SO much, thabk you for sharing these strides but also how it affects each person with SCI so differently regarding priorities and needs. Share more! We love this too.
We should always have our minds open to learn and grow. I always appreciate this time with you both. Thank you for sharing.😍
The two of you are truly a beautiful blessing, your families must be so proud of you. I believe that your content is spot on and your love is inspiring.
I'm impressed with both of you! I enjoy your channel and have learned so much about living with spinal cord injuries through watching you live your life. Charisma, you are a phenomenal young woman:)
The biggest stimulator is the love you share!! Of course this content is interesting, informative, helpful and hopeful, so keep it up!
Great podcast. You all are an encouragement and a blessing to many. Love you all
It doesn't matter what your content is I can't get enough of your videos because of how you both impact my life.
God is an on time God. Stay positive because a change will come.
Love 💘 from The Bahamas 🇧🇸
That was a very informative content. I loved the part where you were able to explain that walking is not your priority at the moment and a quad's personal circumstances would determine their priority in recovery. This is so true and it's also a testament to Cole's agility over the years and how well he has been able to adapt and make something of his life despite some so called limitations. This content is so inspiring. Keep up the good works both of you.x
You are both so real in your approach to this sensitive topic. Thank you super couple, keep us updated. I’m a science challenged humanities teacher 😩 and I understood this session. Great work Cole n Charisma 💕
Yes I really like this groundbreaking science information. I have learned so much from your videos , keep up the great education, you are doing such a brillint job teaching people about spinal injuries and living with them. Thank you.
I have been watching your videos on You Tube for awhile. The videos on Informative and Innovative processes for people who have challenges like Cole are my absolute favorites, But nothing beats out your Wedding, which made me cry. I want to thank you both for sharing who you are with us all, you both have provided pivotal insight into you world.
You both speak on the subject with such clarity and simplicity that it makes it enjoyable to learn. Since we're so invested in Cole's well being, it's great to learn all about this subject. You both are so genuine and approachable, keep up the great work!
I learned so much from this video. You both have always been so open and honest about Cole's injury and what difficulties this brings to him. I will continue to pray that science finds a way to bring Cole the technology he needs to be able to regain the functions that he wants the most! You two are such wonderful stewards for the disabled community! Stay Positive! Sending you much love and lifting you both up in prayer 🙏🙏❤️❤️
WOW, I loved this content!! It's Not nerding out at all. It lets me in to your life's and how Cole feels as a quad. I for the first time got how bowel and bladder control would come before walking. Please make more content like this. I love you C&C
❤️💜
I read that molecular article and immediately thought of you Cole! You guys have opened my mind and taught me so much about spinal cord injuries and the importance of accessibility. I’m praying these trials go well and you’re able to gain some of those functions back that give you your independence 🙏🏽
Wow....amazing
I am so happy for you both. Wishing Cole all the best. Sending you both lost of love from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🤗🤗🤗🤗
What you shared with us was very informative. Oftentimes, we do not realize all the intricacies involved in taking advantage of the new medical procedures for those with spinal cord injuries. As onlookers, we sometimes think in terms of a person being able to walk again as the most important physical ability to regain; however, as Cole pointed out there are other abilities that are as desirable as being able to walk. GOD bless you both for your courage in educating us. I know at times it can be difficult to share certain personal things; however, we are better informed because you do share and we appreciate the two of you for that. You really opened my understanding to what others are going through; yet staying POSITIVE. This is so needed in our world today. GOD BLESS!!!
Very informative! I enjoy hearing all the future possibilities for Cole and others with this same type of injury. Please keep this content coming. I’m a nerd too lol love you both and have followed your beautiful love story since the beginning❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ Congratulations on your L.A move👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
your transparency is so refreshing!!! love your attitude
You two are amazing 🤩 I love your love. It’s also wonderful that each of you continue to educate yourselves about the science out their in the world and everything Cole has to go through and the possibilities in the future. We are all praying for you and continue with your positive attitudes. ☺️🙌🏽👍🏽
Amen! As a CRPS warrior I constantly think about people with catastrophic injury is how much are they suffering with chronic pain? What's their fatigue level? Are they able to hold a job or leave the house? There is such an association in society between "disability" and "wheelchair" as opposed to all the different types of disabilities that exist and what are the bigger problems with quality of life and independence.
Thanks for the explanation. All of us love you two so when we read or hear about this we think of you Cole. Much love 💘
You both are absolutely amazing!!! The informative information you guys share on your channel is awesome and LOVE you have for one another melts my heart. I wish you both blessings.
Thank you for sharing this! It's so educational and I love you guys! Much love and happiness to the two of you ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing. Enjoy listening to your perspective. Excited to follow your journey. This was very informative.
Ya for me it’s a wait for further development of technology to try anything implanted. But 🤞🏼🙏🏼
You guys are awesome and so inspirational! Just started my quadriplegic TH-cam channel, it’s not poppin like yours but I’m proud I finally got it up! Thanks y’all!
Charisma the way you look at Cole makes MY heart melt! You have the most beautiful skin! Also your dimples when you smile definitely is a plus for Cole to observe when he is admiring her beauty.
Fabulous video❣️Love your positive energy and respectful approach towards others who are possibly investigating the paths mentioned.
I found this to be very informative. I loved that your folks were the two people who sent you an article about the Molecular compound study. They are still looking out for you even though you are grown and married. I keep telling my 38 year old son he is still my baby even though he is married with two of the best and cutest kids in the world. I would definitely like to see more videos like this in the future.
Wow, this was so informative. Thanks for making us aware. I love learning new things, so I think this was great.
You two explained all of this so well and brought up many great considerations. As a medical field worker (and fellow science nerd), thank you for the education and sharing of your journey. You guys rock!
YESSSSS MORE OF THIS!!! xoxo a fellow medical geek and newly injured
Thank you for sharing! I love medical and science and biology and all the nerdy stuff too lol! Love u guys! Stay positive!
I enjoy videos like this learning is amazing that is what originally got me to this channel I never look at people the same after virtually meeting you guys lol and I love to listen to people who know what they are talking about go Cole and Charisma
I have learned so much from watching this channel in the past few months about SCI so amazing, this channel has helped me to look a disabilities in whole new prospective
Outstanding!! It is great to hear what is new and out there and also your perspective.
Hi Cole & Charisma! This news on the spinal cord stimulator is exciting but still glad to know you are doing additional research.
Like the information, from your parents, Cole, sounds less invasive and better for so many people with injuries similar to yours. Never lose hope! 🥰
I love hearing the specifics regarding the biology of the spinal cord. It's insane how much we depend on such a delicate fiber that runs through our bodies (I mean, it makes perfect logical sense, but people don't always think about just what it takes for any biological organism to function). I appreciate that you guys are willing to open the curtains into your lives. Your relationship (at least as it appears on camera) is a goal. The love you two have for each other is very visible, and almost palpable. I wish you both continued success. Knowledge is the only way we can evolve and grow as a species, and you have both been able to impart a vast amount of information and life-paths that many of us may never directly experience.
I saw that on TV re the Swedish stimulators & I did think of Cole. Interesting to see you two discussing this. You both have such a positive attitude and are so inspirational - as you are!! Enjoy your vlogs!
I think u are both amazing and so inspiring.I’m 81 and many times I think and regret things I did in my life that prevented it for being a better one, but who knows the little things that I was and still am unaware of that might hav help somebody we encounter avoid either sadness, or something worse. Even a smile to someone that crosses u on the street might draw that person out of dark, negative, defeating thoughts. Every day, every circumstance, every action, every misfortune, every joyful instant, few as they might be, has a purpose. Thank u both for giving out such an example of what human beings can really do in this as was in previous ages, and will be in future ones, God willing. Love u guys, u are the best example of the best part of the human spirit!
