A Dancing Miracle\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hannah Bradley is a walking, talking, dancing miracle.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hannah, a sophomore theatre major from Pittsboro, Indiana, was 15 years old when she contracted a life-threatening case of bacterial meningitis and was placed in a medically induced coma. Her parents weren\u2019t sure if she would survive. They surrendered their beloved daughter to the care and will of the Lord.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After 12 days in the hospital, Hannah woke up. She would spend 50 days total in two different hospitals. Her sickness left her with stroke-like symptoms in her brain, which required three months in therapy so she could relearn how to walk.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nowadays, Hannah is walking, talking, laughing, dancing, and living the life the Lord has given her to live. She played the title role in the fall production of \u201cAnne of Green Gables\u201d and participated in this year\u2019s winter musical in the chorus and ensemble.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hannah knows she is the recipient of a second chance to dance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am very independent; I struggle with asking for help,\u201d she shared with Cedarville public relations. \u201cBut after my coma, I couldn\u2019t walk, brush my hair, put on my own glasses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have a picture of my dad holding my head up when my neck was too weak. I became dependent on others and on God. He taught me to submit, depend, and trust through that experience. In the past, God\u2019s sovereignty had always scared me. Now, it is one of my favorite things about God\u2019s character.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
