After a woman’s relentless search for a dog lost at the world’s busiest airport, Maia, a chihuahua mix pup, is back with her owner.

Animals have a way of sneaking their way into our hearts. Those furry, four-legged creatures essentially become members of the family. Whenever they are missing, for any amount of time, their absence is felt and noticeable. A lost or missing pet has to be one of the most stressful and anxiety-ridden situations anyone can experience.

Unfortunately, that was the exact situation that Paula Rodriguez experienced. It all began when Maia and her owner, Paula Rodriguez, were flying from the Dominican Republic to San Francisco, California, according to a clip posted on YouTube.

However, during a stop in Atlanta, Georgia, Paula, because she did not have the correct paperwork to enter the country, was forced to spend the night in the airport’s detention center. Because of the airport’s rules against pets in the detention center, Maia and Paula were separated, the clip reports. But the next day, Delta, who had agreed to take care of Maia for the night, lost the animal, with it getting free on the runway.

After that incident, many volunteers, including Robin Allgood, set out to help find and secure the animal. She put out hundreds of signs, hoping to find the animal. But weeks passed, and there was no sign of Maia.

But then, early one morning, Robin got a call that Maia had been spotted on the runway. After getting the runaround from anyone and everyone associated with the airport, Robin was eventually allowed into the area where a dog had been spotted 12 hours later. 

It was Maia! After 22 days, the lost dog had been recovered.

The clip points out that Maia was dehydrated and had lost seven pounds during that time, but she was soon reunited with her owner.

Thanks to the relentless efforts of Robin, Maia was back home, reunited with her family.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness to you.”

Grammy Award-winner Jennifer Hudson is now a wedding crasher after she surprised a couple on their big day with a beautiful musical performance at the reception.

Weddings are beautiful, often emotional ceremonies where two people who love one another vow to remain together until death do them part. The ceremony and all the events surrounding the couple saying, “I do,” are perfect opportunities to create lasting and life-long memories. 

One couple who tied the knot in California experienced a moment they will never forget when Jennifer Hudson unexpectedly showed up at their reception. The looks on Traci and Pat’s faces when the big reveal happened were priceless. No one in the entire room expected to see Jennifer Hudson on stage singing at the wedding reception.

As Jennifer explained before her massive surprise appearance, no one associated with the couple had any idea as to what was coming.

“I’m here to surprise them,” Jennifer said. “They have no idea that I am here. I got this huge performance planned for them. The momma don’t even know. The family don’t know. Don’t nobody know nothing.”

The communication and timing of Jennifer and her band’s movements were like that of a military operation. Minutes before Jennifer took the stage, she was given step-by-step instructions and updated as to the movements and whereabouts of the couple.

“OK, Jennifer, the couple’s on the roof taking pictures,” a voice in the video states. “Band is set. We’re moving the guests now. Twenty seconds to surprise.”

Once the curtain falls, revealing Jennifer standing on stage, it’s pure pandemonium. Everyone in the room bursts out in seemingly one big collective scream. The bride and groom cannot contain their excitement, left to jump up and down in unfettered happiness, joy and surprise. 

Jennifer then gives the bride, groom and their guests a dazzling performance. This is no way anyone in attendance at the wedding will ever forget that moment!

Genesis 2:24 “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall join to his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”

A bride with a physical disability came up with a unique way for her family, friends and the man she was marrying to experience a little bit of what she goes through on a daily basis.

Many people get stuck and set in their ways, refusing to change their opinions or even consider other thoughts or ideas on a number of topics. They see things from their perspective, and so that must be the only and correct way, many people believe. But, of course, that is an erroneous type of thinking. 

A clip posted on YouTube shows that a blind woman, on her wedding day, wanted to show her future husband and those attending the ceremony what it’s like to be blind.

The video begins with the bride, dressed in her beautiful wedding dress, exiting the vehicle and arriving at the church. With help from her bridesmaids and a man presumed to be her father, the young woman makes her way to the church. As she does this, text appears in the video explaining what she asked her future husband and guests to do and why.

“I’m blind and I blindfolded my sighted husband and guests when I walked down the aisle… this is their reaction when they lived a moment in my shoes,” the text reads.

The video continues as the young woman reaches her future husband, who is blindfolded, as she requested. But then more text pops up, stating something beautiful, a special moment took place between her and her groom.

“Before Ollie took his blindfold off we had a moment for him to feel my dress so he could know why I chose it,” the text reads.

That’s a special moment they will remember for the rest of their lives. The video is also a reminder to be more empathic. Stop, consider and look at situations from the perspective of others. What does it feel and look like to be in their shoes? How would I react if in that position? 

2 Corinthians 4:18 “While our minds are not on the things which are seen, but on the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are for a time; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

Grammy Award-winning Christian musician Kirk Franklin has finally found something he has been searching for his entire life: his biological father.

Parents are necessary for any and every child’s growth and development. Parents, as God intends, provide children with the required love, care, support, structure and discipline they need to survive and function in life. 

However, like a band or in a church, where everyone has their part and role, so it is in a family. A mother can give a child certain things that a father cannot. On the other hand, a father can help meet a child’s emotional and psychological needs that a mother cannot. Remove one of those people from a child’s life, and they can experience several emotional, spiritual and psychological issues. 

Singer Kirk Franklin, who was adopted as a child, understands this situation all too well. His entire life, the 53-year-old singer has searched for his biological father. In a documentary posted on Kirk’s official YouTube page, he finally learns that his father is a man who lives in the same city that he works in, only minutes from his studio.

Early in the clip, Kirk is on the phone with the doctor, who breaks the news to him. The man, Rick Hubbard, who submitted a DNA test on his own accord, is his father. The doctor tells Kirk there is a 99.99 percent probability of paternity.

Kirk is completely overwhelmed, unable to process the news he has been waiting to hear his entire life. 

Later in the clip, near the 16-minute mark, Kirk meets the man who is his father. It’s understandably an emotional meeting. 

In the video, Rick opens an envelope that Kirk hands him and is immediately overcome with emotion, burying his face in his hands and crying. 

There are tears, hugs and apologies between the two men.

“He didn’t even know,” Kirk said. “He didn’t even know he had a son. And I didn’t even know I had a father. That close, I was that close. I was that close to having a daddy. I wanted a daddy so bad.”

Ephesians 6:4 “And, you fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.”

The testimony is about God's healing of my son when he was very premature

Several people stepped up and sprang into action, saving a fellow runner’s life when he suffered a massive heart attack while running a half marathon in Pennsylvania.

Exercise is a good, necessary and worthwhile activity that helps keep people healthy and allows them to avoid some medical issues. However, no amount of running, daily exercise or weight training will protect someone from every single ailment that can hurt or damage our bodies. The body, much like everything else in life because of sin, is imperfect. 

This is a reality that 65-year-old Greg Woodman knows all too well. Greg had the aim of participating in the famed Boston Marathon. As part of his training, Greg took part in a half marathon in Pennsylvania. 

But soon after beginning the race in the Keystone State, things went horribly wrong. Greg experienced a massive heart attack, according to a clip posted on YouTube. 

“He was definitely dead at that time, yes,” one woman said in the video.

However, God placed the right people in the right place who knew what to do to try and get Greg’s heart working again. They had been prepared for such situations. Medical professionals, including two ER nurses, were also running in the Pennsylvania half marathon.

Those medical professionals got to work immediately, taking turns performing chest compressions on Greg until an ambulance arrived on the scene.

One man in the clip mentioned that he actually got sick to his stomach at one point but fought through it to help save Greg’s life.

“I started compressions right there,” one man said. “It felt like I broke every rib in his chest, honestly. And it made me, like, sick to my stomach, but I was like, ‘I have to do what I have to do.’”

But those medical professionals weren’t the only people who aided during the emergency. Bystanders helped to count for the medical professionals as they performed chest compressions on Greg. 

After six minutes, the clip states, Greg’s heart started beating again. 

“If I had been running alone, I would not be here today,” Greg said.

1 Timothy 4:8 “For bodily exercise is profitable for a little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which is, and of that which is to come.”

A young woman selected the perfect name for her child, naming her baby after her brother, who has autism, and his reaction to the special honor is hilarious.

As any parent knows, coming up with names for their children can be quite a task. It can be such a difficult step to complete that there are many books dedicated to assisting expectant parents in locating the perfect name. Selecting a name can even lead to heated arguments and disagreements between the expectant parents. 

But as one video shows, a woman selected what she thought was the perfect name for her newborn child. She decided to name her son after her brother, who has autism. It’s a sweet way to honor the young man who obviously has meant a great deal to her. 

However, she was probably more than a little surprised by his hilarious reaction once he discovered the special honor. 

In the short, 42-second video posted on Facebook, the young man and an older gentleman both enter the room where the baby is peacefully sleeping. The child’s mother asks her brother, “What’s his name?”

The young man responds by asking, “Why?” His sister then tells him that he must read it to find out the child’s moniker. 

The child’s mother reads the baby’s name to him, “Cole Dylan.” 

“He’s named after you,” she tells her brother.

“Why?” is his response, which elicits several laughs from people in the room. 

“Because we thought you’d like it,” his sister states.

“Nah,” he says as he walks off camera.

That probably wasn’t the response she or anyone else was expecting! But nevertheless, what a beautiful way to honor and recognize her brother, who she obviously loves and who will likely play a huge role in the child’s life. 

Despite his hilarious and less-than-enthusiastic response to the child’s name, we’re sure he’ll love being an uncle to the child named after him.

1 Corinthians 16:14 “Let all you do be done in love.”

One city worker showed a woman kindness during one of the lowest points of her life, and it ended up having a monumental impact, one he did not see coming.

Life can be a trying, unfair experience filled with unexpected hardships. It's during those times when a little love, kindness and empathy can make a world of difference. Random acts of kindness may improve someone's day, but we may never see the outcome or results of that deed. However, one man, Calvin Godette, did. His simple act of kindness changed someone’s entire life.

Calvin is a utility worker in Chesterfield, Pennsylvania, and he knows what it means to fix problems. He also understands kindness and shows constant care, love and consideration for his fellow man. He does it so often that he spends approximately half of his income helping other people, according to a video posted on YouTube.

Calvin knows that a simple act of kindness could change an entire life.

“You never know, Calvin said. “You could do something for somebody or talk to someone and you could change their whole situation.”

When Calvin was in the drive-thru at Burger King, he spotted Denise Walters, a woman in the car behind him. She was sad, obviously going through something painful at the time. Calvin decided to pay for her meal, a small way to try and brighten her day. 

Denise had just lost her husband, Andy, of more than 40 years.

“Somebody to do something that nice for you on that very moment when I thought nothing could make me happy again, it just touched my heart,” Denise said.

So, she tracked Calvin down. She stopped him on the highway and thanked him for his kind act. She also told Calvin’s employer about his act, and got him recognized before a county board. 

Calvin and Denise have remained in touch since that day. Also, Calvin’s act of kindness motivated Denise. She now randomly helps other people, showing them kindness and love.

A young woman made a startling and interesting discovery while on a beach in Turks and Caicos, and then she sought out the individual who penned the nearly 20-year-old message in the recovered bottle. 

Everyone has been given free will and the ability to make decisions that ultimately set the course for their life. However, sometimes situations are out of our control. Life can often be a string of unanticipated sequences, leading someone to people and places that they’d had never imagined in their wildest dreams. At that time, it’s more about how we react.

Cassidy Beach, 21, found herself living out the title of a song by The Police when she came across a message in a bottle, according to a video posted on YouTube. Cassidy said a wave of excitement and anticipation came over her after finding the glass container because, before even opening it, she could see the date on the message. The letter was dated September 30, 2004.

The letter states the bottle was thrown in the water while fishing east of Nantucket Island in Massachusetts. It also instructs the person who happened to find the bottle to reach out to him, letting him know where the discovery was made. 

Cassidy then tracked down the man, Pennel Ames, who had tossed not just that bottle but more than 500 others into the ocean. As the video shows, Pennel has tracked the bottles’ journey, which has taken them past several European countries, including France, Spain and Portugal. 

Eventually, though, the bottles make the long trek back across the Atlantic Ocean, where they have landed in places like Bermuda, Cuba and Belize.

The video ends by stating that 21-year-old Cassidy was not the first individual to answer Pennel’s message in a glass bottle. Nearly 80 people have found them and reached out to him over the years. 

Proverbs 16:9 “A man may make designs for his way, but the Lord is. The guide of his steps.”

One man’s daughter had just given birth, and while he was overjoyed to become a grandfather, he found a sweet, simple way to show love and affection to his own little girl. 

While everyone loves babies, likely no one adores them more than grandparents. Whenever grandma and grandpa enter the room, their eyes and attention are on their grandchildren. They want nothing more than to hug and hold those youngsters. But in a grandparent’s rush to show their grandchildren affection, they may sometimes overlook their own children.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a new grandfather showed care, attention and love to his daughter, who had just given birth, in a subtle and sweet way. The short video shows the man sitting by his daughter, holding her hand. 

“He was like tapping my hand,” Deborah Gilbert said. “Like, you know, he’s not really saying anything, but he kind of wants some assurance. And he just made me feel so, like, looked after.”

Deborah states that her father’s sweet display of affection came as several other people were in the room, lovingly looking after and fawning over the precious new life. Then, she happened to notice her father holding and tapping her hand. Deborah described it as a “full circle moment.”

“And then I realized that my dad was just sitting beside me, and then he was just like holding my hand,” she said. “And I thought, ‘Oh my God,” because I looked over to my husband. And my husband was holding his daughter. And I looked over to my dad, and he was holding me. And I just thought, ‘This is such a full circle moment, right?’”

She recalls feeling loved and looked after, almost like he reminded her that she was still his little girl. That’s a special moment that Deborah will forever remember and cherish.

Ephesians 6:4 “And, you fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.”

A man and woman who are now husband and wife were shocked to find out they were part of the other's life before they stood at the altar and said, “I do.”

Life is an odd and, at times, even a funny experience. It’s often a series of unexpected series of events with plenty of twists and turns along the way. Things can happen when and where you least expect it. Also, as one now-married couple has found out, it is a small, small world.

Joshua and Elizabeth Colbert are now husband and wife, having met on the popular dating app Hinge. Joshua, in a clip posted on YouTube, states that it was “love at first sight.”

But that doesn’t appear to be the case at all. 

After they got together, Joshua and Elizabeth learned they were in the same kindergarten class in Blaine, Minnesota. The video shows clips of the two of them as children walking during their kindergarten graduation. At one point during the ceremony, Elizabeth’s mother inadvertently zooms her camera in on Joshua. 

However, that is not the only place where their pasts intersect.

Joshua and Elizabeth share the same birthday. They were born in the same hospital, a little more than six hours apart. Joshua is the older of the two of them.

“So, we found our birth certificates, and we were born, same doctor delivered us,” Joshua said. 

It's remarkable that Joshua and Elizabeth’s lives have crossed paths so much. In fact, Joshua believes that the two of them coming together and getting married is something only God could have done.

“We believe that God brought us together,” Joshua said.

Before the clip ends, viewers learn that Joshua and Elizabeth will now celebrate their wedding anniversary and birthdays on the same day. They tied the knot on their 35th birthdays.

Genesis 2:24 “Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.”

One young woman’s surprising move had a monumental impact on her mother as she neared the finish line of a long-distance race.

Small and seemingly simple acts of kindness and love can result in massive, life-altering consequences for the recipient. Most of the time, the impact of those acts is rarely, if ever, seen. But we can rest assured that it made a positive difference in someone else’s life and world.

A clip posted on YouTube shows one 10-year-old young woman surprising her mother by sprinting onto the course during the waning moments of the Revel Big Cottonwood Marathon in Salt Lake City, Utah. She runs out to her mother as she passes by and grabs her hand as they finish the race together.

However, the young lady had no idea that that act of kindness was exactly what her mother needed at that moment. Courtney Rich states that the final 1.7 miles of the marathon finishes on an incline. She could feel that her body was wearing down.

“I was ready for it mentally, but my legs were just done,” Courtney said. “I could just feel them slowing down.”

Despite what she was feeling, Courtney did not want to give up as the finish started to come into view. But then something happened.

“I started to pick it up, and I started to sprint,” Courtney said. “And next thing I knew, my daughter ran out. Just kind of saw her out of the corner of my left eye. And I realized it was Avery, and it just put a huge smile on my face. “

She mentioned after that, her body didn’t feel nearly as tired or worn down.

“I stuck out my hand. She grabbed it,” Courtney said. “All of a sudden, my legs that were hurting, and the heaviness of my body just felt lighter, and we just ran to the finish line, hand in hand. It was pretty special.”

Courtney used her daughter’s sweet act to teach her of the need for small, random acts of kindness.

“And I said, ‘Avery, this is an incredible example of how one little thing had a ripple effect and how it’s inspiring so many other people,’” she said. ‘So don’t ever, ever brush aside the prompting or the inspiration to do a small act of kindness for someone. Because you just never know what impact that will have on people.’”

A highly decorated and accomplished figure skater displayed her skill and finesse on the ice with her stunning routine while skating to a hit from the classic rock band Queen.

Figure skaters must be some of the best, most intelligent and most disciplined athletes. Not only do they possess a ton of talent and spend countless hours on the ice perfecting their craft, but they must know their bodies and their limits. 

In an average routine, figure skaters perform moves and maneuvers that, if done incorrectly, could result in serious injury and possibly death. They must know when they are in the right frame of mind to attempt a particular move and when not to hold back.

Nicole Schott, a seven-time German figure skating champion, put on a dazzling and terrific routine while skating to a cover of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Yes, Nicole, during her approximately 3-minute routine is skating. But very early in the clip, the young woman appears to cease skating and instead dances around the ice, performing to the sweet sounds of the classic song.

Nicole spins and twists with dizzying speed but continues as if she’s not bothered at all. 

Her movement on the frozen, slippery surface is done with beauty, elegance and grace. Her entire routine appears effortless, which is the true sign of a professional and someone at the top of their game.

She really does put on a show, treating the audience to a magnificent display of athleticism, skill, strength and showmanship. At the end of her performance, the audience reacts accordingly. They give the young woman a thunderous round of applause.

Some people posted on the YouTube video of Nicole’s beautiful routine, mentioning how much they adored her performance.

“Phenomenal choreography. Jumps into spins,” one person wrote.

“I definitely wouldn’t listen to this song on its own but her skating makes it special,” a second individual added.

1 Corinthians 9:24 “Do you not see that in a running competition all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward.”

Legendary dancer and performer Michael Flatley has thrilled audiences for decades, showcasing his mesmerizing and mystifying fast-paced dance routines on stages. 

Dance, like painting or filmmaking, is an art form. Some may even argue that dance is the most difficult of those three. While painting is primarily a solitary activity, done, for the most part, without the involvement of others, filmmaking and dance are usually collaborative in nature. Sure, making a film or performing a dance can be done by oneself. However, that’s not usually the case.

Becoming a world-class dancer is a tall task. It involves perfecting the steps and movements and getting the timing down. Add dozens of other people to the mix, it becomes exponentially more difficult. But when a dance is done correctly, it's beautiful. 

A clip posted on YouTube features some of Michael Flatley’s best moments from his career on stage. The short video shows the talented dancer as he moves about the stage, dazzling audiences as he does so. 

The quick, rapid-fire movement of his feet is awe-inspiring. It will likely leave most people blown away by the skill and technique involved in such a unique display. 

In every segment of the clip, Michael is joined on stage by other performers who either play an instrument or dance around the stage with him. Every movement and second is timed and highly choreographed, making the display even more impressive. One false move or missed step could easily throw everyone's timing off. 

Several others commented on the YouTube video that compiles some of the best moments of Michael’s lengthy career on stage. They also expressed their amazement at the precision and timing that goes into those dance numbers.

“What makes Michael’s shows so truly amazing is the fact that all those dancers make the sound of one dancer, showing their true unison in the dance. Exceptionally perfect!!!!!” one person wrote.

“This man’s talent is absolutely incredible. No one else compares!” a second person added.

“The Fred Astaire of Celtic dance, but its not a one man show. The entire ensemble in each production is magnificent,” someone else posted.

A woman came up with an inventive and affordable solution to create a separate living space for her elderly mother, who was alone on the other side of the country.

Most parents, over the years, do so much for their children. Mom and dad provide their children with love, care and precious time, often giving their kids all they have and then some. So, when it comes time for the children to return the favor and help their elderly parents in any way they can, it’s a blessing.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Monique Marshall, an only child, knew she had to do something for her mother after her stepfather passed away. Monique’s mother, Karin Notbom-Healey, who is 84 years old, was living in her New York City apartment by herself, 3,000 miles away from Monique in Los Angeles. 

Monique knew she had to do something. But what? 

Luckily, Monique’s husband, Demille, was all on board, willing to do anything to assist Karin in her advanced age. That’s when Monique and Demille brainstormed with their friends and neighbors, Pierre and Carmen, who happen to be architects. After much thought and planning, they came up with a solution: “glam garage.”

Monique and Demille decided to turn their old and drafty garage into an apartment space for Karin. But as is always the case with any remodel or construction project, they encountered issues. However, it was nothing too big that kept them from completing the project. And the results are fantastic!

Karin is in love with her new living space and new city. When Karin first stepped into her Los Angeles apartment, she couldn’t believe her eyes.

“It was overwhelming,” Karin said. “I was so shocked. And it was all, Monique had done all the furniture, everything that you see here. I mean, I didn’t have to do anything.” 

To show her gratitude and to help with costs, Karin even pays $1,000 a month in rent. 

What a wonderful and creative solution that came about because of love, care and concern.

Animals living in deplorable conditions were rescued, received the necessary medical treatment, rehabilitated and then released back into their natural habitat or placed in animal sanctuaries.

Animals are members of God’s creation. They were placed on Earth by the same God who created man and also hung the sun, moon and stars in place. As such, they deserve love, care, kindness and respect.

A clip posted on YouTube shows some of the best, but also some of the worst behavior of human beings. The video shows people rescuing animals that had been mistreated and endured some horrendous conditions. After rescuing the animals, different groups of people helped to nurse them back to health and later released them into the wild.

The clip begins in 2016 with the rescue of two orangutans. The video mentions the two animals were “living in deplorable conditions.” So, over the course of five years, the two orangutans were rehabilitated in what is called “forest school.” 

They were then released back into the Asian forest. 

The next story the clip mentions is that of Martha, a 17-year-old brown bear. The bear, up until it was rescued, had spent its entire 17-year existence in captivity. In addition to being kept in small, confined spaces, the bear was also not “fed well.”

Martha, after her rescue, was taken to a veterinarian, where the animal was thoroughly examined. The bear was transported to an animal sanctuary where other bears were currently residing. 

The clip ends with the story of a nearly 30-year-old chimpanzee, Vanilla. Vanilla had spent its entire life locked up in a testing lab. But in June 2023, the animal finally took its first steps outside.

The look on the animal’s face, as it gazes up into the sky and gets its first glance at the sun, is moving and priceless.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

One mother is warning other parents about the danger of magnets in refillable water balloons after her 8-year-old girl was rushed to the hospital screaming in pain.

Parents hope for and desire nothing more than for their children to enjoy a safe, happy and carefree childhood. Whenever that is not the case, whether it be due to a disease, an illness or some other reason, parents can be left feeling distraught and hopeless. Unfortunately, one mother in Ohio experienced that feeling of helplessness, and she’s now warning other parents.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Kelley Whitty recalls the traumatizing and scary situation that resulted in her 8-year-old daughter, Leah, having to be sedated at the hospital. Medical professionals then worked to remove six magnets from the child’s nose.

Kelley states that the situation began innocently enough after Leah had finished enjoying time in the pool at a friend’s house. 

“I got a call from the friend’s mom, and she was like, ‘Hey, we were all in the pool.’ Leah got out, grabbed a towel, wiped her face and just started screaming,’” Kelley said.

No one was sure what was happening with the child. Leah mentioned she was experiencing “burning and stinging in her nose.” Unsure of what was happening, Kelley took her daughter to the hospital for help.

At first, those medical professionals were baffled as well. But as they continued working, they spotted something shiny in the youngster’s nose. The child had six magnets in her nostrils – four on one side and two on the other. The magnets had “bonded in each side of her nose,” Kelley said.

“Nobody ever wants to see their children hurt or in pain,” Kelley said. “And then the fact that I kind of sit back in the corner of the room and watch these doctors and nurses lay on top of her and try to remove these. I kind of had to comfort her from a distance. That was really hard.”

A doctor in the clip stated that if someone were to swallow multiple magnets, they could potentially try and bond and may damage tissues or intestines.
