Makena's Story

Makena experienced debilitating seizures when she was just a toddler-at its worst, over a hundred seizures in one day. Her life was transformed after undergoing multiple specialized surgeries at BC Children’s.

It's amazing how the human body can adapt. So glad she's okay.

[@janececelia7448]

Thank goodness for the plasticity of a child's brain. What a wonderful outcome for the whole family. It must've been so hard to see their child go through this. Best wishes for a bright future.

She shares my daughters name, who is a chronic kidney patient at Texas children’s hospital. The drive DOES feel like two hours doesn’t it? God bless.

[@madhero9947]

I’m sooo sorry I bless u and your kid

[@judykamau5612]

In Kenya the name Makena means 'happy one'

[@christslove8121]

Ive heard of and experienced healing while reading the Bible out loud so definately do that every day. I had neck pain so bad I could only sleep on my back and it vanished while I was reading the Bible out loud. I felt so much stronger my bones , joints and every thing. You can look up healing scriptures on utube or maybe all the Bible is healing I don't know. 😉

[@christslove8121]

Remember the bible says our tounge has the power of life and death. It says our tounge is the steerage of our ship so we should not say bad things about ourself. We should say things like, "I am healthy and strong in the name of Jesus. My daughter is healthy and whole in Jesus' name. My daughter's kidneys are healthy in Jesus' name." Jesus is Lord, his name has healing and power. 🤗

[@christslove8121]

I have also experienced healing while watching and listening to 'healing prayer' utube videos. Benny Hinn has good 'healing prayer' utube videos.

@Solveig St-Juste ya no one should just expect that all children will get to live 100 percent happy lives cause that is not real life unfortunately some children end up getting kidnapped and brutally murdered, abused by there own parents, cancer, autism or other bad diseases disorders get sex trafficked die in hot cars or other horrifying accidents ect. it's just not good to think all children are going to just be super happy all the time cause some children unfortunately go through some pretty horrible things I wish it weren't that way but sadly it is.

It would be nice for there to actually be a cure for epilepsy and other terrible diseases. We have a ton of medical treatments, but very few cures. :(

[@cookiem.730]

Unfortunately most childhood diseases are caused from bacterial infections not treated during pregnancy due to improper testing methods. Too many antibodies from mom and baby provide a "hook" effect or prozone phenomenon which creates false negatives especially with syphilis. Syphilis effects the brain heart kidneys liver eyes teeth ears bones skin muscles tissue. What's different now than 20 years ago? Dating sites more partners exposure access infedility...and 1 in 50 children with autism. It has the ability to now mutate our genes so genetic abnormalities can essentially piggyback generation to generation and not be caught. In infants it disseminates quickly and does not linger in the blood. True testing is with a PCR(dna), not blood, if its spread mainly by mucous, it makes sense to test it that way. We are not being tested properly and doctors have relied on those false negatives to treat for anything and everything but the actual cause. If you happen to have Gestational diabetes or lack of appetite while pregnant, these are good indicators. Get tested properly.

So when are you going to offer frequency treatment to theses kids.they don't deserve to go through this and they don't have to go through this. Pretty sure you guys know about frequency treatments but yet you still make these families suffer.

What are “frequency treatments”?
