Very few voices have the same ability to truly calm me down as Randy Travis’.
He sadly suffered a stroke many years ago, but that didn’t stop him from honoring fellow country music legend George Jones with a beautiful performance of “Amazing Grace.”
During his tribute to the recently departed George Jones at the Grand Ole Opry, the legendary musician had a blue and purple backlight.
Travis was joined by peers such as Vince Gill, Alan Jackson, and Travis Tritt.
Mary, Travis’s wife, has been transparent about her husband’s difficult stroke and the encouragement she got from her devoted fans.
On a terrible July day in 2013, Randy Travis was admitted to a Dallas hospital for issues brought on by viral cardiomyopathy. He underwent brain surgery following a stroke, following which he entered a coma. The doctors said the well-known gospel and country music performer’s chances of survival were about 1 or 2 percent.
As so, there was little motivation for them to continue attempting to maintain his survival.
His wife, Mary Davis Travis, could have simply turned off her husband’s life support and let him to go to sleep. The doctors posed the question straight to her. What did she want?
But she did choose to reject all social conventions. Instead of following the doctor’s suggestion, she decided to take a completely other approach.
Mary knew her husband was a warrior, even though the doctors may have only given him a 1 to 2% chance of survival. She was unable to allow the respirators to be switched off.
May reportedly pleaded fervently, “God, please let me have him back, any way, shape, or form,” according to USA Today.
Mary never once considered turning off her husband Randy’s machines while he lay in a coma, tangled in a bed of cables, despite the fact that he was virtually nothing more than skin and bones.
Then one day the miracle did indeed come to pass. Randy was the one to awaken.
“Lucky are we. We are happy where we are right now. We have no idea what God has in store for us at the end of this healing process. She continued, saying that we’re just happy to be where we are at this moment and that we’re singing a different song. “We are happy to assist wherever there is a need for us to do so. He would undoubtedly prefer to use that platform once more in the future. Right now, we’re just living it up and feeling really grateful to be here.
Randy has been confined to a wheelchair since his stroke, but he is getting better and can now go shorter distances on his own. In addition, he picked up music, and he still has a strong connection to and affection for it.
After regaining his mobility in 2016, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
“Everyone who knows Randy is aware of his interesting past. “He’s had a beautiful life, but he’s also had tough times,” his wife claims.
If the performance below is any indication, Travis, who is presently struggling with aphasia, has been practicing diligently in the hopes of getting back to his prior level of ability.
After witnessing Travis’ performance, let us know what you think about his road to recovery!
the fact that he investigated this stroke further. Is amazing. Mr. Travis, you truly are a talented man! At this, my spine still tingles. You can see and hear the emotion in me as I pray for his recovery.
