I'm just seeing this and hearing this amazing story of survival, courage, and unconditional love. I am deeply moved. My daug broke her neck at 15 yrs old in a freak sporting accident. It was a pure miracle that she narrowly escaped paralysis. It was a scary journey, which took a year and multiple surgeries to fully recover. You are a beautiful couple. I will be following your journey. ❤️

You two are rapidly becoming another of my favorite couples ! I have followed Cole and Charisma for a while now. Then found Squirmy and Grubs. Now you two. I'm old enough to be your Grandma, but love to watch how love prevails through your challenges. I've been through many challenges in my 64 years of life . Taking care of my Momma and my Husband as they each went through their battles with Cancer, were some of the hardest things I've done. Being their caregiver. But, each was one of the most rewarding in looking back. I developed an even deeper, stronger relationship with each of them . Time with them was exhausting at times, but more rewarding than anything I'd ever done. Seeing each couple grow in trust, love, faith, hope is so rewarding and encouraging to this Kansas Grandma! Love, hugs and prayers ❤ 💞🙏🏻

I'm so glad that I recently came across your channel. U both are so awesome! Too have gone through so much so young, and be so strong is just amazing. Lindsey has a heart of gold and a special soul. Conor u are such a fighter and strong. Idk what kind of job does Connor have? My husband had a super pubic catheter for 2 yrs. He also had issues with the leg bag. He came up with the idea of cargo pants and shorts. What we did was lifted up the flap of a pocket, cut a hole. Using sterile technique disconnected the tube from catheter fed it through the hole reconnected it then put the bag in a heavy cloth breif case that had a flap that u just flipped over to make it looked like it was closed and so u couldn't see the bag inside. He then designed a heavy strap with a looped hook so he could secure the tube to belt loop so he wasn't embarrassed to have to have bag showing when we went out and it was safe not to catch on anything at work. Alot of his docs took pics to show there other patients . It really helped him mentally. Never got a infection as we were meticulous with the care. That too may give a person a option to try. Thank u both for the Q&A.🥰🥰

Caregiver or carer looks after people sick, disabled someone who looks after a block of apartments is a caretaker.

Love this video! I’d love to see DITL/vlog videos from y’all.

My husband is a C6 quadriplegic and has advanced so much in the things that he can do and everyone is just amazed. We live in South Louisiana close to the border of Texas. I noticed you said y’all went to Galveston so I was just wondering what city in Texas do y’all live and if we are close maybe we could meet up and share experiences together and give one another tips. Just a thought.
