A Texas teen jumped to her feet to stun her nurses – and the world – after 11 days of being inexplicably paralyzed below the waist!
Bailey Murrill was horsing around at home in Denton with her father on April 1 when the 17-year-old fell and landed badly on her back.
In a flash, she lost all sensation in her legs.
Her shocked family rushed her to a Dallas hospital, but specialists were clueless as to the cause of her instant and complete paralysis.
Throughout the horrifying experience, Bailey never lost hope she would recover, and placed her faith in God.
“The whole time I had this attitude I would leave it in God’s hands,” she said.
Miraculously, on April 11, Bailey regained sensation within her legs! “The same way the feeling left my legs, it returned,” explained the teenager.
During her stay in the hospital, Bailey grew close to the nurses who cared for her, and decided to surprise her favorite nurse by getting up out of her wheelchair. In a joyous moment caught on video, she rolled up to the nurses.
As the nurse approached her with arms wide open, Bailey sprang to her feet, prompting the stunned nurse to shout: “Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!”
The touching moment, filmed by Bailey’s mother, Becky, has been viewed by more than 6.4 million people who have congratulated Bailey for her bravery, and the nursing staff for seeing her through her ordeal.
While Bailey was released from the hospital on April 14, the reasons for her paralysis are still unknown.
But for now, everyone is content to call it a miracle!
