In February 2009 doctors told Kyle Deachin he would probably be paralyzed from the neck down for life. This after he broke his neck while sledding during a church trip. Just months later, on Friday, May 22, 2009 Kyle walked at his high school graduation.
"I never thought I'd be able to walk down this aisle and get my diploma," said the 17year old Goodrich teen just moments before commencement at Genesee Christian School. "It is all thanks to God."
Kyle, his family, church, and friends say this is possible because God answered their prayers.
"Words can't explain it," says his mother Lisa Deachin. "It's a miracle."
Kyle's father Todd Deachin says he knew all along it would happen. He says the doctors told him his son would be paralyzed, but his heart knew otherwise thanks to God. He says it is amazing how Kyle's healing impacts lives. Seeing his vision of faith become a reality is overwhelming, "It is joy. It is pure joy."
Kyle says he hopes his story inspires others to turn to God when life get's tough. "If this story isn't enough I don't know what to tell you. With God all things are possible."
