The majority of us are ignorant of the difficulties that result from deadly incidents. When we suffer such harm, it affects not only us but also the people we care about.

Bailey Murrill is well aware of the situation. She was injured just before her senior prom in 2015. Unfortunately, a really unfortunate situation arose while she and her father were playing in the backyard.

“He had me draped over his shoulders, and we were just fooling around.” I was able to turn around and fell on my back. My legs were entirely numb from the waist down.”

The 17-year-old was immediately airlifted to Dallas’ UT Southwestern Medical Center. She was incapacitated for the first two weeks of her hospital stay.

She had to deal with a really difficult circumstance, but she was a fighter who had the support of her family. Even though it was challenging, she continued to try her best with physical therapy because she was willing to do everything it needed to stand up again.

The medical professionals were silent during this time. She had no feeling below her waist, therefore they estimated that her chances of ever walking again were only 5%.

She spent 11 days in the hospital before beginning a rigorous physical therapy regimen, which helped her regain some feeling in her legs. She realized at that point that if she kept working, she would eventually be able to walk.

Even though Bailey could now occasionally stand up, she didn’t want to miss the chance to surprise someone. When one of the nurses was about to offer her a hug as she wheeled herself down the hospital hallway, she did something completely out of character.

Instead of accepting the hug while seated, she got to her feet. The nurse pulled her in and gave her a great hug as she suddenly burst out laughing.

Her mother, Becky, took the video, which quickly became popular online. Becky quickly returned home, got back on her feet, and started getting ready for the senior prom.

“Two weeks ago, I was told I had a 5% chance of ever walking again, and now I’m at prom,” she remarked. It’s fantastic.
