I’ve worked with thousands of patients, but 9-year-old Theo just schooled me on faith and medicine.
His sister Millie was given 4-6 months to live at 2 months old. She has alobar holoprosencephaly (missing brain structure… if you’re new here, check out the ‘Millie’ highlight for the unbelievable images of her brain).
The medical team told the family to take her home and prepare for goodbye.
That was over two years ago.
Today, Millie communicates, laughs, chooses her favorite TV shows, and screams with pure joy when Theo gets in the car. Her brain is literally growing new tissue on MRI scans - something I get to witness as her doctor.
During our podcast, I asked Theo why he thinks God is allowing his sister to heal, his answer was immediate: “Because a lot of people don’t believe in Jesus. So he’s using her to make people believe, because everybody thought it was impossible. Every single doctor. And now Jesus proved them wrong.”
This kid gets it.
I’ve seen her intestinal malrotation mysteriously heal itself - something radiologists said they’d “never seen before in medical history.” I’ve watched her defy every medical prediction through functional neurology, laser therapy, and what can only be described as divine intervention.
My colleagues ask me about Millie’s case and always end with: “They must have got the wrong diagnosis.”
No. We have the right diagnosis. We just have the wrong understanding of what’s possible.
Theo teaches us that healing sometimes begins where conventional medicine ends.
When was the last time you witnessed the “impossible”?
💓Send this to someone who believes in miracles, or someone who needs to.
