The story behind this viral video of an emotional ICU proposal l GMA

[@prariedock]

Viktoria is now my daughter-in-law and Nick is my son! I watched these young people negotiate the lowest of lows, and see how they now enjoy the highest of highs, with optimism, flexibility, strength and love. It is a miracle to me that they made it through the years of constant pain and difficulties, to the place of such joy that they knew was possible! All of their family and friends danced and laughed and testified at their recent wedding. I don't see how any future challenges could be more difficult than what they have already experienced. All the best to my darling children!

Kris thank you for raising such a great and amazing son. He is the epitome of a real man. Their story is so touching and inspirational. We need more people like your Nick! ❤❤❤. Thank you!

[@ghm3415]

Lupus and then Stevens-Johnson syndrome are such a horrific combination. I thought seeing people surviving Tetanus was bad enough but this is worst. I am proud of Viktoria for surviving this terrible ordeal and kudos to your son Nick for staying with her through the worst most challenging times. I wish them the best and congratulate you on raising your son well. You should pat yourself on the back for doing such a fine job. 💖

[@lizbeth2792]

Weeping. This boy is an angel. He gave her such emotional strength and support. No money can buy it. To feel worthy and loved at your lowest is the GREATEST superpower and you can overcome anything. The parents who raised this young boy is the jewels of Earth.

[@mirananaim5971]

@@Nadiesalevivo this is not what was said. I am sure it touched you somewhere, and its fine. In my part of the world, we believe in destiny. However, some people do fight destiny, which usually fights back, and hard. But sometimes, only sometimes, there happens a "concentration" of energies, prayers, determination....or maybe destiny, and fatality gets to be reversed. We are all fighters, and when you fight, you never loose...but sometimes, we do win. Blessings. And hope your heart will be soothed.

[@Sunshine-ei3zj]

My husband made too many promises before we got married...after getting married I went thru a lot and he was barely there for me. And I keep remembering his words and commitments he had for me when he desperately wanted to marry me. This girl is so lucky to have a guy who didn't leave her alone and actually cared for her and married her. What else a women will need ❤️

[@oceaneo4603]

May be he meant it when he made those promises, but wasn't able to follow through. Nobody's perfect. I truly believe how important it is to know your partner. Does he bull💩 me around, or is there is something else going on ? You're gonna have to be smart and very flexible with a life time commitment. 'Cause that's how life is. And we change and discover yourselves differently through the challenge we have to endure and delusion we had about stuff.

[@MsBeloved89]

I was engaged to a man who was similar. He had a lot of amazing words to say about how much he loved me but it turned out they were just flattering words as he got cold feet and left in silence. Broke my heart to pieces. Regret giving my heart to him but I learned a lot from it and got closer to God.

[@rowenaadao731]

@@iamhis5580 my reaction was from Bactrim antibiotic. So now I must avoid any sulfa based antibiotics. I’m in a few support groups on Facebook for SJS survivors and many reacted to Bactrim as well as Lamictal. But it can be any medication - sometimes even just a virus can trigger it which is very scary. Unfortunately it’s often misdiagnosed by doctors which can lead to many complications. Quick diagnosis and early intervention makes a difference to survival rate and also the long term effects
