Tetraplegia - Tragedy to Triumph

[@chooselivingbysteven3373]

Thank you for sharing Amanda's inspiring story. Her attitude is an example for those more fortunate to try and learn from. I am completely paralysed from the neck down and on a ventilator 24hrs a day. Just started my channel less than one week ago and would love to have the same impact that Amanda does.

[@AttitudeLive]

Thanks for watching Steven, hope you enjoyed!

[@ritajimmie3361]

I hope you are well

[@deliafernandez3870]

The most important thing is love. It will get the both of you and your family through it all.

[@eyeshakesabooty23]

I haven't cried this hard for someone I haven't met in my entire life. I love this family.

[@AttitudeLive]

Thanks for watching Katie, we hope you enjoyed the documentary

[@wheeliemom3079]

Thank you for letting us into your life. I use a wheelchair, but I can walk short distances with aid. You are inspiring. I am amazed by your positive attitude, I don't have a good attitude yet, I frequently go off the raids with my and attitude like a child throwing a fit, I am working on it. I'm in the hospital because I had a bed sore that ended up turning into a serious problem, the Dr. said I have some areas of Gangrene which will require surgery. The things we run across that we maybe didn't think about it's crazy. I wish you well and hope you will keep regaining movement. You are an amazing woman.

[@barbarawilliams7194]

I LOVE HER ATTITUDE AND THE FACT SHE FOUND HER LIFE PARTNER THROUGHOUT THIS JOURNEY!!!!! HOPEFULLY SHE CAN GET A VEHICLE FITTED TO HER NEEDS SO SHE CAN HAVE THE INDEPENDENCE SHE DESERVES!!!!!!

[@rowboatUT]

Well done, Amanda's "experience" parallels that of my wife's, making it slightly eerie to watch. I wish I could get many in her family and some of her friends to watch this as few know all she has been through to get where she is today, five years post her injury. Like Amanda my wife is a determined gal, they are both amazing in their strength and determination. Thank you, to those behind the creation of this video and to Amanda for sharing her experience.

[@AttitudeLive]

Determination and positivity is key! Thank you for sharing your story and for your support, Wm Carey!

[@jeanettedombroski3934]

You may be broken but you’re still whole. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sometime.somewhere]

She's right, her foundations made this possible. She is fit, supported and confident and resilient. It could and probably does break other people in the same situation. Unfortunately we all will face, have faced or are facing tragedy, so if we can do the work on our ourselves when we can then perhaps these things won't break us

[@Jdjustsaying]

And couples like this aren't allowed to be married in Australia. Shame on the government. Strongest family.

[@AttitudeLive]

Thanks for watching !

[@floatingchimney]

+Janet Donald They are allowed in fact. It's just not called marriage - It's called a Union or a Partnership. From a legal viewpoint it's the same thing 98%.

[@amarcy6]

Jose Carreras last time I checked, 98 did not equal 100; therefore if you can't say 98 equals 100, then you don't have equality.

[@floatingchimney]

+Allison Counsil By your logic neither can men and women be equal as they themselves are not 100% equal. Real world equality is not mathematical, honey.

[@amarcy6]

Jose Carreras I'm not your honey, so don't call me that, toots. I'm sorry you've never loved or been truly loved, otherwise you'd know "logic" and "love" have nothing to do with one another. Give my warmest regards to your ex-wife and her girlfriend! Muah!

[@team14robot]

Why do they have to teach their daughter that she's "broken?" I feel like that's a really unhealthy description from the view of both the child and the differently abled parent.

[@Lacenmilk01]

team14robot I agree I Have the same injury and calling a person broken is not good it sounds like you kneed to be fixed or thrown away

[@autisticzuko2750]

Just while she's little, I assume they'll tell the kiddo the truth once she's older.

[@MegaPianogenius]

poor kid no dad and a broken mum

[@katiekat4457]

team14robot I agree. I don’t know why she keeps calling herself broken especially since she’s going to be “broken” forever. She’s says it about herself even when the the daughter isn’t around. Did you notice that the baby is always whining and crying? The baby is never happy. Not one smile yet. Just crying and fussing. Makes me wonder what’s really going on.

[@katiekat4457]

Pete Bloczynski she’s plenty old enough to understand now. The woman calls herself broken even when the daughter isn’t around. Weird.

[@sharonfloyd6288]

Hang in there, Amanda. You'll get a tiny bit stronger every day. And you'll adapt new ways to use your body to do the things you want and need to do.

Oh, here’t that update I wanted! 😍 Too bad it’s not packed as a playlist or got a series name, would be easier to find. 😊 Also, too bad it was only the last 5 min that was really an update.

I wish there could be a way for our doctors to fix or to understand our delicate bodies a bit better . But our souls is unbreakable in my view and lives forever and never ages .. This is just my view. Greetings from England and lots of love i send to you and those close to you.x.x.x.

Decided they both “didn’t need the men in their lives anymore”..imagine if all sperm donors felt the same way about these two, they would be childless.

[@christinestill5002]

Wish you would say what the time frames were...since u had your accident is how long? I was in hospital for 3 mos. but my spinal cord injury didn't paralyze me. They didn't know after surgery. They told my daughter about a 50/50 chance I'd walk. My daughter was 29 w/ 2 daughters. I did walk but w/ difficulty. That was 2001. Thank you for this.

[@nyla-amarasmit8117]

Why week after accident and 3 weeks after does she not have a neckbrace? Nothing to support a broken neck??

Thanks Anglea, glad you enjoyed

[@Gizzard4400]

I wonder if there ex boyfriends hang out together and talk about when there girlfriends dumped them for each other haha

[@gna8an]

“Let’s not just have them anymore” That’s pathetic the way you speak about people you were sharing your life with. Just discard someone because you found a “better” replacement. Not a thing to joke about. I wouldn’t wanna be your friend. Because one day you might say “let’s just not have him anymore”

[@yourmajesty7012]

How do you just randomly go from being in relationships with men to being in a Lesbian relationship?

[@autisticzuko2750]

It's called being bisexual.

[@formerreplygirl3360]

Or late in life lesbian

[@drwoo6090]

Sometimes people fall for the person, not the gender. My daughter was with her girlfriend for 15yrs. My daughter didn’t label herself, but her girlfriend opted for bisexual. When they split up, my daughter met a guy. They live together, and are very happy. So, it can work both ways.

[@leanyland8933]

Its sad that her partner was out surfing while she was just out of the hospital with a new baby. That's the tragedy here

[@muls9571]

Her other child was at the beach with her, she was probably just taking her other child out 6 days after becoming an older sister

[@lauraandrade9905]

Just bc she took a moment to enjoy surfing, doesn't mean she didn't care or anything. You being such a * to try finding something to judge on such a beautiful story. She said she wanted her partner to be nurtered and that she would be working while her partner would get to be home and after what happened, she had all her plans changed. She showed that she cares everytime she was at that damn hospital trying to get better not only for her, but for her family. Seriously, what an unnecessary thing to say. Really sad that after all things we got to see thru this video, this is what you have to say.

[@MegaPianogenius]

dont understand you say you're paralysed from your necklace down but you moving your arms? sounds disgusting the way you just cast off your husband and say 'lets just not have them anymore' if you said he was a bad father and gave reasons then it might be different fkn disgusting shame the father didn't have the kid he is part of, god is punishing!!

[@charleelakebean]

Teraplegia doesnt mean she cant move her arms. She has weak muscle tone on her arms.

[@charleelakebean]

It was said in the video

[@sabinekolakowski4625]

Her daughter is three years and she has been with her partner for eleven, do the math before you judge

[@steveimperial7760]

She still is playing in the water.Whjy can’t d\she just splash around in the water and be happy?
