At two-and-a-half, Christina was autistic. She didnt speak and had the cognitive ability of an infant. With one-hundred seizures a day, her life was being ripped away by a relentless villainepilepsy. When doctors gave up, we hung on to hope and became her advocates, researching, praying and believing for a miracle. A special diet, with roots in scripture, became the first miracle. Christina proved nothing is impossible when she repeated words to a song, Good Morning Beautiful. Extremely delayed, it was a huge milestone. Her story caught the attention of the national recording artist who recorded the song and prior to brain surgery, people around the world began praying for her. Now seizure and autism free, therapists cite services are no longer needed as Christinas file doesnt match the patient. She made honor roll and still sings Good Morning, Beautiful.
