Crushed, but Not Broken

Crushed, But Not Broken is about unyielding faith, determination, and a desire for truth.

After breaking her arm playing on the monkey bars, Emmy began behaving strangely over the next three months. Not fully understanding what was happening, Missy continued to homeschool her four kids and take them out, including to the local pool in Smithfield, Virginia.

What started as one of those normal days at the pool, however, ended with Emmy on a ventilator. Ten days and dozens of tests later, she woke up from a medically induced coma-physically disabled and with an inflamed brain.

Emmy's doctors put her through multiple medical procedures, some almost killing her. As Emmy's brain continued to deteriorate, her parents finally got the doctors in Virginia to send her to Boston Children's Hospital to search for a diagnosis and cure.

Despite all the hardships-as well as the hardships yet to come-it was the promise of God's goodness that kept Missy seeking answers to get the help and healing her daughter needed.
