MIRACLE MONDAYS – Elizabeth Gotcher

Toni Gotcher remembers the day when her daughter Elizabeth was hit by a truck.

“I was at school when it happened,” said Toni. “Elizabeth ran past a truck and the truck did not see her on the cross walk.”

Elizabeth’s foot was crushed.

“I wondered how did this happen,” said Elizabeth. “Why didn’t I walk with her. Will she lose her foot or leg?”

Elizabeth did not lose her foot or leg and although healing has been hard, she continues to stay strong.

“We really could not have asked for better care,” said Toni. “The hospital went above and beyond.”

Today, Elizabeth enjoys she enjoy singing, dancing & karate and she continues to mend!
