Obed's $13000 Bed!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2019
- Obed, who is 13, was born blind, and has cerebral palsy, autism, and severe intellectual disabilities, also has an amazing safety bed made by SleepSafe Beds (www.sleepsafebed.com). But its NOT A CAGE (as a few viewers have tried to claim)! His amazing bed avoids the 7 major entrapment hazards identified by the FDA in a typical adjustable hospital bed. Insurance companies like to push dangerous beds on kids like Obed because they are cheaper.
Obed's Sleepsafe Bed had a price of over $13,000, but thanks to quarterly giveaway sponsored by SleepSafe Beds, we won a $10,000 credit on his customized bed. Our county's Department of Family Services picked up the ~$3000 balance as a "need" benefit to Obed as we had adopted him from the foster system.
If you know of someone who needs a bed like this and can't seem to get one through insurance, Medicaid, or any other way, please visit our non-profit charity at www.amazingfamilies.org and check out the "Product Giveaway" link.
Note: We are not sponsored by SleepSafe Beds and receive nothing for our mentioning their bed on this video.

Honestly if you use common sense you can tell it’s more of a bigger crib to keep a child safe this is an amazing family and a amazing bed
Exactly! That was my first thought when I saw it, quickly followed by "damn, that looks cool!" People can be so ridiculous, lol.
that was my first thought too! It seems just like a big crib to help keep a child safe!
ik, im 13 years old and (thankfully) disability-free but i’d still love a giant crib like that 🤣💞💞
Amen!
Yeah. Not like you’d put a newborn on the floor or something. You need a crib. That’s basically what this is, but for a big kid
You should call it the O-bed.😂
Very funny
Hah!
😂😂😂😀😀😄
Yessss lol
😂😂😂😂
I'm sure it's a big weight off your shoulders to know that he's safe at night. Wish we had more people out there like you guys.
Then why don't you become like her?
Ayy Eclipse because alike you and i, most people see the value in what she is doing while at the same time seeing the discomfort, it might be shitty but it’s true
Ayy Eclipse because they could have an issue themselves (mental disorder, financial problems, pets)

When Obed needs a new bed I'm sure we would all be more than willing to donate to help him, and you. Especially if the manual one becomes too difficult for you. Caregivers so often forget to care for themselves as well, I know self care was always the last thing on my mind when we where the caregivers for my wife's grandma.
You are so kind, Ash..Thank you!! I am really fine with it for a long time I think. And I still have flabby arms!! LOL! You are right about caregivers, though...if people knew! I hope you and your wife have found time to spend together and do things for yourselves. God bless you for being available for her grandmother in her time of need! Sending lots of love your way and appreciation for friends! 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ash Toten I agree!
Ash Toten YES.
Absolutely. I would be honored.
That is so true. I took care of my grandma for 2 years before she passed. I lifted on her and in the end, I needed rotator cuff surgery. She wasn't very big but picking her up all the time caused issues. I also have a special needs child and having a bed like we have now gives me peace of mind at night while we sleep, i know he's safe
She’s the type of person who actually serves you cookies if she found you when you fell and scraped your knee. I dunno how she thinks of everything!
She's an awesome mom ^•^
Omg she literally is
She’s an amazing mom, I wish my mom was like her ❤️
I can’t believe people are rude enough to suggest it’s a cage. If they actually stopped being so judgmental for a minute they would realize it isn’t.
It’s an amazing bed for a great kid and it looks super comfortable also may I add! Have a great weekend fam! 💜
Am totally agree with your comments, some people they don’t have better things to do, most of them they are selfish!!
Thank you!! Let's just say this was a necessary video..just raising awareness and educating the ignorant here!! 😉😄😂🤣😁❤
SixBlindKids Thanks for educating us all! It’s much appreciated!
Unfortunately as your channel continues to grow more and more ignorant people will comment. But that’s ok. There are more good people here than bad who support your family 100%!! 💜💜💜💜💜
@@dasistliana5151 Oh, you guys outnumber them a thousand to one!! We appreciate you so much!! 😊❤❤❤
That was my first thought. But i realized that there had to be a medical reasons why it was in place
Why does he have it? Because he deserves comfort and safety and is obviously a darling.
He has CB that can be super dangerous to him and who's around him. He can easily hurt himself, because he doesn't have control of his body. Which is totally out of his control..
Colleen Bolean this was so passive aggressive for no reason.
Don't know what you're talking about.
@@alexiabates9185 I think she just misunderstood my comment. It's okay though.
How anyone could consider this a cage is beyond me. It's a very fancy oversized crib. Do we call cribs cages? Nope! But they are definitely safe for babies and this is obviously safe for Obed. Some people have a bizarre thought process.
Exactly. Its called no common sense. Smh.
Tbh I do call cribs baby cages. But beds like this are for safety it's no more a cage than a normal hospital bed no one has the right to judge people for protecting their child's safety
I think it's behind the stigma of the older bed for people with special needs. Bed or cage they are all for the safety of people with special needs.
One can go crazy with what uneducated people say. I remember a couple telling u2tube audience that it is better their baby sleep in their bed with, then to be rises in a crib prison. So to all you lovely normal people raised sleeping in cribs, believe your were tortured and can not be responsible for you actions.
Juli Herron How much crack did you smoke?
It’s a shame we feel the need to justify how we care for our children but you do it so politely.
Well, Christine...here's the thing. When that Independence video got recommended (notice the view count) we got outside our protective bubble and there was a lot of hate and false accusations by people who are "unaware". We needed to address it. I hope it helps families who need a bed and haven't figured it out yet..thank you for your kind words. 😊❤❤❤
HOW CAN PEOPLE DISLIKE ITS OBED LIKE HE IS THE COOLEST EVER. Cmon guys
I'll never understand people who dislike any of these videos. I don't even give a 👎🏻 for videos I don't like. Why don't these people just move on if they don't like it just don't watch? 🤷🏼♀️
@@robbinsnest6163 I know, right?? Maybe it's the topic or something? (Obviously not in this case), but for example, I don't like to like videos that talk about someone having a miscarriage or something tragic like that, even though I know the like helps support their channel. Maybe people are just confused 🤷♀️ but that's just me giving everyone the benefit of the doubt! Lol!
For every 73 likes, there has been 1 dislike. As of this comment. People just hating.
Robbins' Nest right? Like how can you be that upset over this? Honestly I feel like youtube has bots so there’s no perfect video.
@@tiffanyn480 Whether you "like" or "dislike", they YT gets paid.
I don't get what it is viewers "dislike" on some vlogs.
Can we just talk about the look of love this mother has for her child when she's laying in the bed with him? So beautiful.
I know! I've shed so many tears looking at her beautiful face light up when she speaks about her children and the love and dedication it takes to provide comfort and security for them. This is absolutely beautiful.
Unless people have any idea what it's like to care for a loved one with special needs, they are in no place to say anything.
Yep
So true its obviously to keep his safe
April P. Exactly it isn’t easy but well worth it just seeing the small things like a smile or even a hug these kids know their parents love them regardless of their stuff
RIGHT
Ok maybe I am not taking care of anyone with special needs but I have a great respect for those that do. I do not have the right to judge anyone. When I first saw Obed's bed it confused me,( it was also the first video of this family I had seen) but when his mom stated his diagnoses the bed makes sense. As long as these kids are loved and cared for then that is what is important.
That's not a cage, that is a soft, secure, comfy NEST! Just look at his smile-he loves it! So glad you were able to get the help so Obed could have his safe space for sleeping 💖
I know, honestly I wanna sleep in one for a night 😅

Man this women is a SAINT. I just can't handle how sweet she is.
Basically a toddler type of hospital bed for an older child or small adult. I have my own hospital bed and I can see the benefits of a bed like this.
My daughter also has a hospital bed because she only has 1 leg and she also has autism so it's just safer than a regular bed
øbsessed før3ver what part of the spectrum is she? she’d probably do just fine with a regular bed
Tzarrhia Rice i have autism and i’m in a normal bed and studying calc 2 at 14, is that a reason xd
No price can replace the safety and love for your children :) Im glad he has a bed he can safely be in at night.
Amen!! Thanks, Kaitlin! 😊❤❤❤
So well said Kaitlin!
“We do want to set the record straight and the best way is to educate and show you what it is” - beautifully said. Education is key. You guys seem like wonderful parents and caretakers.
Karen I hope you live forever and remain in good health. I dont want these babies to ever be without you. The thought makes me sad.
& the dad too
Amen ❤❤❤
Your family needs a show on TLC 💕I’m hooked
Aundrea Crabtree your joking right?
Christina B. He's not, I think that would be great and I would be so happy! Not supposed to offence!
Aundrea Crabtree but it’s the lying channel and the miss you up channel
They are too pure and good for TLC. Their family is like holy water and TLC the demon, it would just repel the network.
TLC is so immoral if it was a UA-cam channel we would all be petitioning it's demonetization.
@@anonananas940 TLC does have a UA-cam channel though...
not a religious person, nor do I usually comment. but i have to tell you there is a special select spot in heaven for few people, one of them being you! ❤ God bless your soul!

My man obed sleeping like a king
His smile at 18:13 when she cuddled him, are you kidding me, my heart is so warm
This woman is an ANGEL... her husband soo.. They deserve a lot of pure love for this poor soul.. Thank you Good because this humans exist. Good bless all of you re part.
Yes! To adopt a special needs kid and to decide that you are going take care of him or her for the rest of your life, it is such a special thing, there isn't that many people that would do it, and with all the passion and love they do.
people who watch this channel should understand that special kids require special care! to suggest it's a cage...is so disrespectful and intolerant. just because it's not something we're used to seeing doesn't mean there needs to be aversion or criticism. obed is obviously a very happy boy, with very loving parents and siblings- he would not be kept in a freakin cage!!
The way Obed had the biggest smile on his face when she got in bed and cuddled with him made my heart completely melt. Such a wonderful family you have❤️ 18:12
If this is a cage so is a baby crib. This family is amazing.
Ppl are saying it’s a cage??? Lmao with a bed like this you’d never roll out of bed ever again
I have a cousin who is blind, partially deaf, has Tourette’s syndrome, and autism. She’s 38 now and living in a great home with others with similar disabilities. Thanks for sharing this. (I’m a year late but this is still cool to see)
Not sure how this got in my recommended, but y’all seem like very nice people and I’m glad Obed has a safe place to sleep!
Hi Brayden! Thank you...welcome! 😊❤
This woman is amazing. After all the Myka Huxley news this brought me to tears. I loved watching his old adoption video. You have a heart of gold and a beautiful family
That's so sad, hearing how hard it is for people to even get their hands on these great beds. More families deserve these tools! Thanks for talking more about his bed, I've been so curious about it!
You can tell Obed feels really comfy and safe in there
I took care of a young man who is very disabled, he is a very tall and very strong guy. One night he pulled the refrigerator over. It fell on top of his leg. He has the mentality of a 3 yr old so he didn't really know what he was doing. He now has a bed similar to this but with a top. I love Obed's smile when you tickle him. He is so loved and you can tell.
Oh, my! So happy you were able to get him a safe bed! These are the kind of things most people don't understand. I mean...unless you live it. Thank you for saving the community, Sarah! 👍😊❤❤❤
Beautiful ❤️ for the people with the rude comments. If she wanted to put him in a cage I promise you she wouldn’t have spent $13,000! She’s keeping him safe!
Exactly
I work with special need children. The approved equipment out there are really a needed item. Unfortunately the price is way over the less fortunate. So they don’t know about the wide variety of awesome equipment. I can see you do this out of love. It is amazing how you do this and advocate for Obed. He is a lot work and you are doing a great job with him. Much love to your family.
That bed reminds me of a submarine, I dig it. I kinda want one for myself...
It reminds me of a ship
I can only imagine how this gives you a HUGE peace of mind knowing he is SAFE while sleeping. How people can turn something so amazing into something evil blows my mind. You guys are amazing and are doing an amazing job. Seriously. Thank you for being who you are with giant open hearts. Those 'kids' are so lucky to have found you. ♥️♥️♥️
Small pet peeve of mine is extreme over charging of any type of product for "accessibility", even down to bubble blowers. Regular machine = $20, bubble machine with elbow button= $600 (but only worth an extra 10-20). But I'm glad you guys were able to get him the safety he needs.
Couldn't agree more! ❤ Thank you...😊😉❤
Negativity shows how uneducated people can be. This bed is solely to protect him, and keep him comfortable.
It's like a large obed sized crib lmao. Why people could think this is a cage is crazy, you wouldn't call a crib for an infant a cage, why would you do the same here???
What an example of being kind to our fellow beings...bless you!
One good thing about the windows is that sighted caregivers can look at who they're caring for.
Exactly! And without having to disturb the person..❤
That’s an amazing bed! So glad he is safe!
With my anxiety I would love a bed like that. I would love the security of it.
Thank you for educating us on Obed's bed. Its a really cool bed plus he really seems to love it ❤
If you like this video, check out the new playlist we just made of "Videos featuring Obed". Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/9twhFFdp5TI/v-deo.html
@Carrieann Guerrero Obed has lots of toys. He is the only one who plays with them. Remember...our kids are teens and young adults who prefer tech. They have a huge playroom that we are getting ready to equip with therapy equipment. We just haven't filmed in there much..😉😄❤❤❤
That smile on his face when his momma was loving on him was so sweet that it made me tear up! I love watching these videos because I learn new things and moments like those just make my heart so happy.
Hearing the love in your voices when you talk about your children and how you care for them is so encouraging. In a world that is more and more being overwhelmed with hate, it is so beautiful to know that there are people out there like yourselves that care for your fellow man (and woman) with love and compassion. Thank you for giving us viewers a glimpse into your lives and your love for your family.
The most beautiful mother on earth has been found! You win!
Awww.....❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sister Rachel u said yes most beautiful mother on Earth Jesus bless your family 😍😍😍😍
i’m not sure how i got to this video but i’m so glad i watched it. This made my day. Obed is such a great boy and i wish him all that’s best in this world.
*hears a sumo wrestler body slamming against the walls at 3 am*
"Go to sleep, Obed!"
*hears the national anthem of Zimbabwe in D minor floating down the hallway*
"You too, Jesse...."
Omg!!!! Comment of the WEEK!! I am rolling!! 😂😄🤣😁😉😊❤❤❤👍
😅🤣😂This is the best comment ever! Omg.
😂
The funniest thing I’ve read all day. I can’t stop laughing
😂😂😂
Think about it people who say Obed is put in a cage. A cage is usually made of metal bars or mesh and is basically used to lock up things or animals normally. This bed is NOT used for that, and Obed isn’t confined or trapped or restrained, it’s his very own chill out safe zone where he can have the freedom and space to just be himself in comfort and security!
You, your husband and the children you have raised all have beautiful souls. The emotions that rush through me when I watch your videos makes it obvious that you deserve more recognition for the hard work, dedication and love you put into nurturing, maintaining and providing for your family. I agree with many of the posts here - TLC is missing out and am shocked you two aren't a nation wide watched show! Hannah, by the way, has a beautiful singing voice! I'll shush now while I put on another one of your videos and get a handful of tissue paper!
So glad he has parents that care enough to go above and beyond the basic essentials insurance companies try to pawn off on us. That bed is amazing.
I love this women. Shes so likable, and normal.
Yall are so nice all parents need to be like yall good job. Top tier parents right here
It’s so great that he likes his bed, he relaxed so much when he lays down
Your probably one of the nicest mom I’ve seen
“I’m thoroughly confusing the child”
LOL! Only for this demonstration.. 😉😄 Obed does know his bed is for sleeping and it was early in the day when we filmed that. If we had been thinking on our toes, we would have done it at bedtime! I just NOW thought of that!! 😂🤣😄😁😉❤
SixBlindKids Yeah, at least he didn’t fall right asleep! 😂 I’m glad he likes his bed!! ❤️ keep up the great videos! I just started watching and I’m hooked!!!
Thank goodness he has parents that fight for him to get the proper things he needs and you need to properly care for him. You guys are rock stars!
Obed,
Your parents are awesome,
Your bed is awesome,
YOU are awesome dude!
💚
I think I've said this before but I don't mind saying it again. It takes some very special people to do what you guys do. I am so inspired by your love and care. My the Lord abundantly bless you. 😇😘😘❤💜💙💛
Wow that's spendy glad you were gifted and got help! Thank you for informing us. Pretty neat that there are things like this.
I'm a single parent of a child with a disability and I am overwhelmed with the responsibilities that you have with this young man my hat's off to you you're amazing
Well...being a single parent is easily the hardest job on the planet anyway! Then to add special needs...no.. my hat is off to YOU! God bless you! ❤
@@SixBlindKids Thanks ❤️
I can imagine that Obed feels very safe in his bed. How wonderful this bed is available for those who need it.
This bed looks so comfortable! It’s so cool how things like this exist!
Why are people saying it’s a cage? Oh my.... and even it is something like a cage.... what’s bad about it? This lil guy needs protection. Imagine he wakes up at night and his mom doesn’t notice... and he will Fall our of his bed and get injured. It’s okay to give him a bed like this to keep him safe. Excuse my bad English... I am German. Anyway, what a nice family. I’ve just found this channel and I am definitely a new subscriber ❤️
Hi Jasmine! Thank you- your English is perfect! Welcome!! 😊❤❤❤
Obviously its a safe bed. Thank God Obed has wonderful parents like you keeping him safe, happy, healthy and whole.
My sister also has cerebral palsy and she doesn’t speak. I can understand how hard it is. We also have a bed like that. Keep on bringing strong, you seem like a really great mom
Obed is a great kid! You’re doing great Mom and Dad!
Wow, wish I had that when my daughter was born. She beat her head into the crib rocking all day and sometimes at night. I spent most time holding her and rocking her. She would take the crib across the entire room rocking.
Obed is just the coolest. Orange is definitely his color btw! God bless you all!
God bless you. These children would not know love and family without you two. WOW!!!
I wish I could buy every kid a bed to sleep in. No matter if its special needs or just a regular matress. It don't matter every kid deserves to be safe and feel safe.
That is a very noble desire! Everyone deserves a good, safe night's sleep! ❤❤❤
I mean wow you guys make my day bright just to know there’s two parents as truly loving as you are. If all parents were like you, this world would be amazing.
Obed is lucky to have you as his parents
I cant believe that there are kind and tolerant people out there like you
No idea how I found this channel but there such a beautiful family if only every human was as kind as these parents ❤️❤️
So happy you are here, Naomi! Welcome!! 😊❤❤❤
As a nurse, I totally get. Whoever designed the bed was thoughtful about intended use adding features that make sense. I urge those who say anything else to take a job working as a care technician in a hospital. You learn very quickly a one size fits all approach actually can be harmful. So common sense and utimately love must guide the way in providing care. You inspire me! Thank you for all the love you have shared!
Thank you for this! Well said! ❤
The love you have for your children is astounding,you're a beacon of hope that encourages me to love without limits,may God bless you and your family!
He is safe and comfortable and that's all that matters!!
Bless that sweet woman’s heart! Now that is a what you call a pure soul, heart and pure love. Incredible.
You two are such a beautiful couple! Not for adopting blind children but because your love is selfless and unconditional for YOUR children! I am subscribing, I can’t wait too see what’s next for your family! 🙏❤️
Awww...that is very sweet!!! Thank you! Welcome, new friend! 😊❤❤❤
I think it's amazing that they make these wonderful beds for these children that needs them! Keeps him safe n cozy for the night. So glad you were able to get this for him.
As I sit here feeding my infant, I suddenly feel so blessed. I struggle. We all do. It’s how we handle each struggle that molds us. I see the way that you and your husband handle each obstacle that is thrown your way and I am in awe. This beautiful child of yours is so so loved. He is so blessed. This is something that, even though he cannot verbally express, he will remember. I just love the love that you give each and every one of your children.
He seemed a little overstimulated and then right when he laid on the pillow, he immediately relaxed! Sweet young man!
If thats a cage than slap some feathers on me and call me Tweetie!!
That to me looks so COMFY
🤣😂🤣😄👍❤ Good one!!
He has such a beautiful smile. What a sweetheart and such a caring family! Thank you for sharing and educating
You two (parents) are truly amazing. Blessings to you two and your beautiful children.
The best parents I’ve ever seen. You guys are so amazing. So selfless and it makes me so happy that people like this still exist. Love the video like always!
So expensive😱😱for a bed but he definitely deserves it and a really good nights sleep😴😍😘💙
You are all amazing. I bet you both get better sleep knowing he is safe and can't get into anything. You are angels.
That bed looks super comfy!!! This entire family deserves nothing but the best. God bless you guys!!!
Sleeping in a bed like that would be so peaceful!!!! I would feel safe and protected. He was so happy when he got in! Ugh my heart melted!
Obed is so happy, priceless to see him happy!! May God continue his blessing upon you and your family 🙏
Incredible parents! You do what you have to do, to protect your child. God bless.
You and Obed are wonderful! Thank you for sharing. I feel so much joy watching such a beautiful mother son relationship ❤️❤️
Your kids are so blessed to have you as their parents. You guys really work hard and are full of love, and it shows 💕
I thought it was always just like a stylized bed that Obed wanted. Like I thought it was a ship, if I’m being honest.
Sara/Sam Dixon i thought it was a firetruck
Yes! I feel silly saying it now but I thought it was definitely in like the nautical theme. Like a boat or a ship bed
I think it's amazing seeing people care for children. Parents sacrifice and love their kids. These people are awesome
Beautiful family, it’s so amazing that these kind compassionate people can give these children a second chance in life xxx Love from the United Kingdom xxx
This is incredible!!! I genuinely think most people would benefit from a bed that allows elevations. It’s essentially a Tempur-pedic bed with safety rails 🤷🏻♀️ my babygirl is very tall for her age (about 3 ft and she is 14 months old 💀) and has climbed over her crib (which we use solely for playtime when mommy needs to do something urgently without her). So we had to add a toddler rail to the top so that she couldn’t climb out of where she was flopping out of 🤣
