Every now and then, real miracles occur.
A remarkable example is the story of Evie-Mae Geurts, a girl from England who unexpectedly lost her sight.
Initially, Evie showed symptoms of a common cold, but then her eyes became extremely red and swollen. Concerned, her mother, Amy, took her to the hospital, where doctors delivered devastating news: Evie’s eyes had stopped responding to light, and she was blind.
Additionally, Evie suffered from hydrocephalus, which caused swelling in her head. The doctors warned the Geurts family that their child would likely never see, talk, or walk again.
Refusing to accept this fate, Amy sought the help of a neurosurgeon, who sadly confirmed the grim diagnosis. Nevertheless, she pushed for surgery to insert a shunt to divert fluid from Evie’s brain to her bladder. The procedure was risky, but fortunately, it was successful.
To everyone’s astonishment, Evie-Mae fully recovered within a year. First, her sight returned, then she learned to walk and talk. However, she soon experienced headaches again, raising concerns about her condition.
When doctors examined the shunt, they discovered that the hydrocephalus had resolved on its own, and the pain was caused by the shunt itself, which was subsequently removed.
Now, Evie-Mae is thriving, living like a normal, healthy child. She excels academically, surpassing her classmates.
“Evie now lives without a shunt. She sees, talks, walks, and is ahead of her peers in learning. Doctors are baffled by her recovery, but what matters most is that she is doing well. She is a wonderful and incredibly brave little girl,” said Amy Geurts.
