Locked In: The Will to Survive and the Resolve to Live Audiobook (Free)

ESPN personality, former Dancing using the Celebrities contestant, and Paralympics champion Victoria Arlen shares her courageous and miraculous story of recovery after falling into a mysterious vegetative condition at age group eleven and exactly how she broke free of charge, overcame the odds, and never gave up hope.

When Victoria Arlen was eleven years of age, she contracted two rare illnesses concurrently and fell right into a mysterious vegetative condition. For two years her brain was dark, however in the third season, her brain broke free, about Locked In: The Will to Survive as well as the Resolve to Live and she was able to think clearly also to hear and experience everything—but no one knew.

Her doctors wrote her off being a shed trigger, and Victoria remained a prisoner in her very own body for pretty much 4 years. But every day, silently in her very own brain, Victoria would pray to God, and she guaranteed Him that if He gave her another chance, she would make every minute count, and modify the world for the better.

At 15, against all chances and medical predictions, Victoria woke up. Finally she could communicate through eyesight blinks, and gradually, she regained her capability to speak and consume and move her upper body, but she experienced the devastating truth of paralysis from the waist down because of damage to her backbone. However, Victoria didn’t lose her strength or steadfast determination, and 2 yrs later, she gained a silver medal for going swimming at the London 2012 Paralympics. She continued to become one ESPN’s youngest on air-personalities and, after almost a decade of paralysis, she learned to walk again and even competed on Dancing with the Celebrities.

In Locked In, Victoria stocks her inspiring story—the pain, the struggle, the combat to live and thrive, & most importantly, the trust that carried her through. Her journey had not been easy, but by thinking in God’s healing power and forgiveness, she actually is living evidence that, despite apparently insurmountable chances and issues, the will to survive and take care of to live could be a power more powerful than our most severe deterrents.
