Arthur Davis is a REAL LIFE SURVIVOR OF
CHRONIC ASTMHA/BRONCHITIS AND POOR HEALTH
Arthur’s Story
In this lifetime there are always never-ending stories of survival and triumph that most of us encounter which can be challenging. If I had to pinpoint one story in particular with you, I would like to highlight my story of triumph.
Ever since I was an adolescent, I struggled so severely with asthma, where I had to take various breathing treatments and could not consistently play with my siblings or my friends outside. I was rushed to the hospital on many occasions due to plenty of asthma attacks while gasping desperately for air. I was even placed on bed rest so many times between the age of 6 to 12 years old while listening to my siblings and friends play outside.
All types of sports, dancing or exercise were out the question for me. The amazing thing is that I didn’t realize how severe my health was at the time. I would miss an extensive amount of time from the school year on a regular basis, because I would get so sick that I could barely move. My bronchitis affected me so immensely and it seemed like I would never be able to function the way my friends and siblings did.
Fortunately for me, I had a praying mother along with my dad who never gave up praying for my overall health. Despite the moments and feelings of despair, I was determined to not become faint of heart but rather learn the mindset of faith and optimism at an early age. Eventually moment by moment, I found myself able to do more activities that I normally could not do before.
Before I knew it, I was completely healed and started playing and running with my friends! This dream became a reality! It was at this point that I realized that I was a “Real Life Survivor”
This sticks with me even in the present as the character-building presentations that my wife and I provide require a lot of movement and dancing. This is something at one time I could never see myself doing and I am so thankful to God that I am now able to do it!
