It was a reaction fitting for a miracle.
A 17-year-old girl from Texas who had been paralyzed for 11 days
shocked her nurses when she stood up out of her wheelchair by herself.
The powerful scene as one of the nurses hugged her in sheer joy after delivering a shocked reaction was captured in a viral online video.
Bailey Murrill, of Denton Tex., was horse playing with her dad at her
home when she landed awkwardly on her back and lost feeling in her legs
below her hips. She then spent the next 11 days at the Zale Lipshy
University Hospital in Dallas but doctors had no idea what was the cause
of her ailment, she told the Daily News.
But through the whole ordeal Murrill said she kept her faith in God.
“The whole time I had this attitude I would leave it in his hands and be prepared for what he decided” she said.
Murril had also bonded with the nurse in the video, whom she declined to identify, over their faiths.
Then on April 11, Bailey was undergoing physical therapy and was placed in a machine when she felt a sensation in her legs.
She notified her physical therapist who told her that her hamstring was flexing.
“We waited it out and the same way the feeling left my legs it returned,” she said.
Bailey was excited and wanted to come up with a fun way to tell her favorite nurse.
“She had brought me so much joy at a time I needed it that I decided to bring her some,” she said.
The video begins with Bailey rolling up to a group of nurses in a
wheelchair and a nurse approaches her with open arms saying she heard
Bailey was looking for her.
She had just been stuck in an elevator for an hour but that was nothing compared to what was about to happen to her.
The nurse let out a giant scream as Bailey silently stood and shocked the medical professional.
The two immediately embrace in a long hug as the nurse cries out "Thank you Lord! Thank you Lord!"
Tears began to flow from everyone in the hallway as the nurse tells Bailey she had been praying for her.
"I'm so happy for you. I'm sooo happy for you," the nurse told her patient. "See there, I told you. Just keep the faith."
Bailey was released from the hospital on April 14 and the doctors have
yet to determine the cause of her condition. She has kept going back as
they are eliminating various potential causes, she said.
