Our God can do anything!!I’m a mom of three boys 7,6 and 4 and our God did a great miracle in my husbands life too. He’s so wonderful and with Him allll things are possible!!
i think it was the doctors and medical knowledge that helped more. Without that, if we were left alone to take 'natural course' as nature intends, most of us would be dead by now from something or the other.
Such a great story y’all! I’m in South Florida and I live with Multiple Sclerosis and my Neurologists are in UM! So glad that the UM surgeon came through! God bless y’all!
Hi there! First I was wanted to say that I'm so happy that surgery went well and that your hopes of being yourself again are being realized! That is very exciting, especially when you think you'll never be the same again. I've had 32 surgeries so I know that feeling too well. Secondly, I want to thank you guys for restoring my faith. I was just to the point of believing in nothing and letting fear replace hope, joy and love. I see God in you! It's so amazing and so bright as He shines off of you! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that restoration. Truly amazing! Lastly, I just pray for your complete healing and send wishes for the best Christmas ever. God bless you and keep you always 🙏🎄🎅!
Green and yellow brain tissue, whow, unexpected. So it was killing off his brain tissue, wow. It's amazing. Yes, the hospital every hour is messing with you and it's hard to rest. When you're sick, yes noise is hard and messed up/meds. No, the hospital is not peaceful, amen. It's amazing what they can do. I'm glad to hear Dr. Michael Ivan did a great job.
I know this was a year ago and no one will ever see this comment but I just wanted to mention we have very similarly had things happen in our lives. We homeschooled and used public and private school. Plus my son had brain surgery last august, We are still on the road to recovery due to him having seizures after surgery but I feel like just saying …. “Same, same” to y’all! Keep up the G00d work and fun clips. I watched all your shorts yesterday and today i subscibed
I commend your belief with teaching children. I have tried public, home schooling and finally decided that a Christian private worked best. I agree with, “you have to do what’s best for your family”. Sending prayers for a speedy recovery ❤
So glad that your surgery was a success. In February 2023, as a result of a significant stroke, I had a craniotomy and subsequent surgery 4 months later to replace the bone plate. My energy level fluctuates so much and taking a daily nap is now a necessity. Be well in your recovery. Sending prayers to you all.
I discovered this channel today and saw your comment(obviously😊)..it's 2 month ago that you wrote it and i just want to ask how you are as of today..how is your healing going on?..btw sorry for bad grammar..my motherlanguage is german😊
I understand this completely! Had brain surgery. Didn’t sleep in hospital after for 2 days! They’re poking you, waking you, asking you questions, etc! Give yourself time. 6 months after my surgery I still couldn’t be in a loud room with lots of people and sounds. Your brain was injured! It needs time to heal. I’m still not the same person I was before surgery. Take your time. God bless you all!
EVERYONE is allowed to change their minds without having to justify or explain. You are clearly doing what you think is best and that’s all anyone needs to know. Thank you for your transparency. Keep healing, Michael - may prayers and love continue to surround your recovery.
I am a retired teacher and I was blessed to teach in a Christian school for a part of my 33 year journey. I will be praying for your children and their teachers. My daughter now teaches in a Christian school in Arizona and it is a blessing!
My first time “meeting” you all today through your shorts and then found this video. You two are an amazing couple. Your faith and clear Love for one another is such a blessing to witness. Thank you! 🙏🏼 So glad you’re healing and making decisions that allow you to heal and thrive as needed. Love the flexibility in your thinking!!! …and as someone with a post concussion TBI from a bike accident the word loss is an adventure. Great job accessing “extenuating!” 😊🎉🎉 Many more blessings to you and your incredible family!! 💛🙏🏼💛
Sweet to see you are healing so fast from surgery. My mom had a similar surgery and as I listen to you, she said the same things. You'll be fine. God bless you and your family.
For 17 years I home schooled my 3. 1 year at a time. Each child is unique. Learning styles matter. We enjoyed the flexibility in 'diving deeper' into subjects that interested them. One thrived with on line learning, another with particular outside classes, eventually 1 asked to attend high school. I pray for you to seek, listen and do what works in each of your children and for your family. Continued healing, love and blessings to your family.
So happy to see Micheal feeling so well and positive after surgery! Praying for continued healing! I know exactly how you are feeling about a bit of identity changes when switching from homeschooling. I homeschooled our 5 children for 6 years. My husband works for the railroad so I was alone most of the time. I began having health issues so we made the decision to put them in the local public school (we both attended that same school). I was happy, heartbroken, and a lot of other emotions while watching them go off to school each day. Homeschool was such a blessing but private school will be as well! Prayers to you all!
My son had a cavernous angioma (giant, surgeon said size of beefsteak tomato, so compressed his brain to the left side of his cranium.) It bled too -- and seizures happened often. He wasn't expected to come out of surgery at age 2 yrs 3 months, and he's 27 now! He does have a lot of special needs, but we are so blessed that he is walking and talking and always making progress. So very glad you're doing well. There are research programs, some forms of these CAs are hereditary, not sure if you've explored that, just in case, thought I'd mention it. There are genetic tests if so. Be patient with yourself. ❤
I completely understand the things you’re going through now, I am recovering from cranial surgery. I had 5 CSF leaks that needed to be repaired. These surgeries are no joke when it comes to recovery. Prayers 🙏🙏🙏
Your incision looks amazing, mine looks like a big Question mark on the side of my head starting from the front of my ear going halfway up my head behind my ear.
I had brain surgery 3 years ago to repair my CSF leak. Fortunately for me, they went through my nose. Brain surgery is not a club now of us want to join, but we have. It is major and very scary. He is looking great for one week post op. I totally agree with him about a hospital not a place to get rest. Especially an ICU. I couldn’t wait to get out of there. Prayers for a speedy recovery. Glad you are doing well also Cheryl
What beautiful story. Your family is amazing. Thank you for sharing your story and for giving God the glory for orchestrating everything. My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer that has metastasized to his lungs at the end of June. He is now on hospice care and we are trusting God day to day. Thank you for sharing your story.❤ God is leading you down this path for a reason. 🙏🙏🙏
Jesus is the best of all doctors! No one can do what he do what he has done for us and is still around and going on doing his blessing until the end of the days. ❤❤
First, I am so happy Michael is on his way to recovering. Thank God! Secondly, I am so happy the University of Miami, Uhealth system was your choice. I am from Miami, FL and I only use the doctors from there. That entire health system is this way. The culture is known for treating it’s patients with a great deal of kindness and humanity. I am proud to know all went so well and it was from UM. Thirdly, Ariel you are a champion and you juggled so many things, husband, children, home, travel, etc. … You are strong under fire. Thank you for being a great example for many. God Bless all of you. Thank you for the update.
That's a big change ! Since Ariel has such a huge following and influence on social media it's really nice that you've explained clearly your situation to us.. And we completely understand your decision at this time! Hope your kids have best school life and happy to see Michael recovering well! The haircut suits perfectly BTW ahah 😄
I'm happy for you guys! You are so sweet and honest. It's obvious that you ask God to lead your family. I pray the new school works out better than you even expected ❣️
You just need to know that there are people even from Hungary praying for your family. And I am thankful to God for the success of your surgery. God bless you! 🙏🏼☺️
1 week from brain surgery and you’re looking good my friend! Dang!! Go you! Cheers to good health ahead and lots of positivity and peaceful moments! Sending love from California! 🌊 ☀️we have a big family too and we know rest doesn’t come easy. Take the breaks you can. ❤
Aww congratulations! We currently have 2 in private Christian school. Every family is different and thrives differently. We plan to pull my kids one at a time to transition to homeschooling for a lot of the reasons you mentioned to custom tailor the education/experience.
God bless this beautiful family and keep our brother Michael on the road to recovery. God bless the surgeons and guid them to help him with their knowledge. Blessings
My husband major brain surgery, its scarey for sure ,but 20 years later changed his life from not being able to even sit up or move ,leading a normal life. Good luck .
I’m a brain tumor survivor. I had what’s called a “nuisance tumor!” It wasn’t cancerous, but it interfered with my brain functioning. I had a meningioma. It was fused to my skull behind my right ear and went through my brain and stopped at the corner of my right eye. I had horrific headaches. I also have the largest sinuses of anyone my neurosurgeon has ever seen. I had my surgery in January of 1997! I’m 26 yrs meningioma/headache free! Michael, time will fly by. You’ll be back to yourself in no time. I’m praying for you and sending positive thoughts to you and your family! I don’t know where your incision is, but I remember my doctor telling me to exercise my facial muscles. I suggested chewing gum and he said that was perfect. If you or your wife ever want to reach out and ask me any questions or to just talk, please feel free to do so. No one knows better than someone who has been through it. My username on TikTok is Queenofusefulthinking and on Instagram it’s Toooldforthis. LOL! Take care
So happy for your family. Michael is recovering very well and he looks great. I hope your children have an easy transition to school. It will be a wonderful change but a huge deal for Mom.
Hello! Just came across one of ur shorts and them watched one other video. Viral meningitis surgery.Wow! You guys have gone through the wringer, but God has seen you through these trials. A beautiful couple who have turned their lives toward God.❤❤ + 💕💕💕💕
I had viral meningoencephalitis 10 years ago so understand a bit the journey you’ve been on. I had/have seizures and was put on anti-seizure meds and took high dose steroids. I felt and acted like a completely different person. I was aggressive, angry, irritated, highly sensitive. I was so afraid that the changes were permanent. It’s hard to separate what is from the brain injury and what are medication side effects but I improved immensely when I stopped the meds. They are a necessary evil but the side effects are brutal. I was so sensitive to light, sound, pretty much any stimulation. Trying to act normal, have conversations took a tremendous amount of energy and I’d be drained and wiped out. I’d usually have to spend the next day recovering. Recovery isn’t a linear journey. There are many ups/downs, good days/bad days but you will get better. I very much struggled w/ trying to get back to who I was before the illness and my limitations. It wasn’t until I accepted the new different version of me that I truly begin to heal. I am an optometrist and prior to this was single and worked long hours. I wasn’t able to work after health issues. I got married and now have 5 kids I homeschool. I discovered God during my recovery and my life looks nothing like I’d planned but is so much better than I could ever have imagined. Give yourself grace, simplify your life, hold close to your beautiful family and let God guide. So proud of you two for making the decision to put your kids in private school. I understand what a difficult decision that must have been but it is what is best for your family right now. And like you said take it one semester at a time. Prayers for healing, recovery, acceptance and peace for your family during this time of transition💕
I highly recommend having one or two individuals with you if you are ever diagnosed with a disease and most definitely after surgery. The more ears the better. Good to hear that all went well. You do have some great incentives to stay strong and keep fighting.
I’m so thankful and grateful that you are doing well. You have a beautiful family. When I was 13 I had spinal meningitis I know all to well how you must’ve felt or feel I’m very grateful and thankful that the good Lord has kept you around and keeping you and your family may God continue to bless you I know you have so many stories about the illness that you have because I to have a lot I have a story grateful to God that you are doing well be blessed my brother❤
So very sorry. I am a (not nice) person after surgery and so I have felt totally awful about how (not nice) I have been after surgery. Love you all! Hugs for healing and my prayers. 🥰💕🙏
I just came across this Chanel. I follow you on Instagram and look every once in a while in FB. I love your family and love to see your stories. My favorite video to this day is the one where Michael walks away and the boys follow. There more I find out about your family the more I love you guys. You give me hope…… it’s not all bad out there! 🙏🏼 I forgot to ask, what was the noise you heard at the end of the video
Such LOVE!!! God is working through you to show us how awesome He is! And I am SO glad that it worked out that your kids are now in a Christian school where they can meet and interact w/more kids! You are obviously WONDERFUL parents and we continue to wish you all the very best! 🥰
My friend homeschooled her 4 until the youngest was in middle school and then the kids wanted to try public school. After the first semester one hated it and went back to homeschooling. The others enjoyed it.
I’m so glad everything has gone well. I was very effected by noise and bright lights for a long time after my brain surgery. Go slow coming off the anti seizure meds because of withdrawal. Wishing you the best possible outcome!!
Thank you to all the medical staff for the many years they each spent studying so that they could carry out the medical procedures, physiotherapy etc that have helped you. I hold medical staff in high esteem (I have also received incredible medical care in my life) and do not feel they get the credit they deserve. Many of the comments on here ‘thank the Lord’ and ‘Praise God. But it’s the real every day people, who study hard and work crazy hours who need thanking. I mean no offence to people of faith, but without our trained medical staff, many of us would not still be alive today if the only thing we had was prayer. Let’s thank the right people.
You guys are so honest and open and strong. Such an inspiration. There should be more people like you on the internet! This morning I woke up freaking out about the plans with my partner to have our first baby because I was thinking how hard it can be with him away from home most of the time and other financial worries that I have, and seeing you guys seems to have brought such an ease into my mind. Thank you!
God Bless you Michael, Ariel, and your entire family. Continuing to send prayers and Hugs from NY. I went through religious schools from 1st through 12th grade and even in college.
Dr Ivan Michael is very well known here in Florida! I am in Clearwater and have heard of them! They are known for their medical expertise & their care!
May God be with you all..I just found your Vlog...Like others have said, you need to do whatever is right for YOU...I will be following your sweet family..I pray Michael will make a full recovery...
God is good. I am so happy your recovery is going so well. Home schooling/ private school are all good, you go with what fits your family. Continued prayers from Ireland. God bless you all.
I’ve done the same! I’m in year 7 of homeschooling. I always took it year by year. Mid fourth grade, switched my oldest to Christian school. 1.5 years later, my second went in third grade. My third is homeschooling in first grade bc it’s what she needs for now. She’ll likely go in third grade. I still have a 3 year old at home. Like you said, do what’s best for your family! I’ve never been one either to think I was better for homeschooling
As long as you are doing what you feel God is directing and calling you to do with the children and you are in obedience, it will be great! I’m a retired teacher. Spent my entire 35 year teaching career in a Christian school. Your children will be greatly blessed, will form some life long friendships, and learn to be even better leaders for Christ than they are now. Their world view will be cemented and their personal relationship with Christ will deepen. One semester at a time is a great philosophy!!!
This year when my sons started kindergarten I was so torn between homeschooling and private Christian school. We chose private Christian school and we’ve been so pleased at how well our boys are doing and how great it’s been for them.
There are no bandages ? Even the part when he was walking in hall , and showed back of his head , no bandages? they shave the hair in area of the surgery for brain surgery . Curious, i'm retired nurse .
Oh dear guys! Mom of 7 here. My husband has an anyerism in his brain stem ( stress I guess?) could kill him :( I know your fear momma. Let your boys & GOD be your stregth, best to you!
Such a moving story!! Can you share more about the viral meningitis? I had it and wondering if some of the issue's im having is from that. God is good🙏♥️🛐
Does anyone know if there's an update? I've just found them but see there's nothing for 9 months. I'm praying everything is going great. God is great💜💜💜
As someone whose had multiple brain surgeries, we learned the underlying cause of my surgeries (a brain cyst) can be hereditary…and one child got it. She doesn’t need surgery…yet. Have y’all checked to see if you carry any of the genes for the hereditary types of CCM? And if so, had your kids tested?
Our God can do anything!!I’m a mom of three boys 7,6 and 4 and our God did a great miracle in my husbands life too. He’s so wonderful and with Him allll things are possible!!
I praise God For Your Very Recovery! God is so Good!
i think it was the doctors and medical knowledge that helped more. Without that, if we were left alone to take 'natural course' as nature intends, most of us would be dead by now from something or the other.
Such a great story y’all! I’m in South Florida and I live with Multiple Sclerosis and my Neurologists are in UM! So glad that the UM surgeon came through!
God bless y’all!

God bless you! We're praying for you!
I homeschooled and they loved it and said they wouldn’t change a thing. They are all successful adults now. 😊

Hello! Just came across one of ur shorts and them watched one other video.
Viral meningitis surgery.Wow!
You guys have gone through the wringer, but God has seen you through these trials.
A beautiful couple who have turned their lives toward God.❤❤ + 💕💕💕💕
You look fantastic. So thankful it’s over for all of you,now move forward and enjoy your family and life!
Blessings to the Tyson family 🙏

You give me hope…… it’s not all bad out there! 🙏🏼 I forgot to ask, what was the noise you heard at the end of the video
Such LOVE!!!
God is working through you to show us how awesome He is!
And I am SO glad that it worked out that your kids are now in a Christian school where they can meet and interact w/more kids!
You are obviously WONDERFUL parents and we continue to wish you all the very best!
🥰
Prayers for your recovery and your Family's understanding 🙏 Take it slow
I am so happy you had your surgery and it was a success! You are an amazing couple and family! Praise God, Amen and Amen!
Just found your channel, so thankful u are doing well, excited to keep watching! ❤️🙏🏻
My friend homeschooled her 4 until the youngest was in middle school and then the kids wanted to try public school. After the first semester one hated it and went back to homeschooling. The others enjoyed it.
Great news. Continued prayers. 🙏 🙏 Been following u guys since covid. 2020. Love y'all.
I’m so glad everything has gone well. I was very effected by noise and bright lights for a long time after my brain surgery. Go slow coming off the anti seizure meds because of withdrawal. Wishing you the best possible outcome!!
Praise the lord for healing! SO happy to see him doing better❤
Thank you to all the medical staff for the many years they each spent studying so that they could carry out the medical procedures, physiotherapy etc that have helped you.
I hold medical staff in high esteem (I have also received incredible medical care in my life) and do not feel they get the credit they deserve.
Many of the comments on here ‘thank the Lord’ and ‘Praise God.
But it’s the real every day people, who study hard and work crazy hours who need thanking.
I mean no offence to people of faith, but without our trained medical staff, many of us would not still be alive today if the only thing we had was prayer.
Let’s thank the right people.
Continued prayers for Michael’s health. 🙏🏻❤️. I hope the kids love school. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so happy to see him up and going and feeling good again!
You guys are so honest and open and strong. Such an inspiration.
There should be more people like you on the internet!
This morning I woke up freaking out about the plans with my partner to have our first baby because I was thinking how hard it can be with him away from home most of the time and other financial worries that I have, and seeing you guys seems to have brought such an ease into my mind. Thank you!
Very good decision you've made with the schooling. They'll enjoy and learn a lot. And the teachers sound grand!
So excited for your boys! Praying it is a great transition for them ❤
God Bless you Michael, Ariel, and your entire family. Continuing to send prayers and Hugs from NY. I went through religious schools from 1st through 12th grade and even in college.
Dr Ivan Michael is very well known here in Florida! I am in Clearwater and have heard of them! They are known for their medical expertise & their care!
Amazing!! Praise the Lord for a successful surgery ❤️
How tall is Michael? Big guy! So glad you had the surgery and everything went well! God gets the glory! You get the good results
I am happy to know that you are doing really well from that surgery. ❤
God bless you! You look so well and it's only been a week! God speed on your full recovery!
🎉❤
Great news my kids love school! Have a smooth recovery

God is good. I am so happy your recovery is going so well. Home schooling/ private school are all good, you go with what fits your family. Continued prayers from Ireland. God bless you all.
So pleased to see you are making such a remarkable recovery. You need to make the decisions that work for your family.
Hi! Couldn't wait to watch your video to see how you're doing! So glad you're doing so great at recovery! God bless you and your family.
God Bless you both and your beautiful family! God is so good, glad to see Michael healing well! ❤❤
Wow - as people used to say You Sure Have Been Through the Ringer. God Bless You All!!
I’ve done the same! I’m in year 7 of homeschooling. I always took it year by year. Mid fourth grade, switched my oldest to Christian school. 1.5 years later, my second went in third grade. My third is homeschooling in first grade bc it’s what she needs for now. She’ll likely go in third grade. I still have a 3 year old at home. Like you said, do what’s best for your family! I’ve never been one either to think I was better for homeschooling
Congrats on all the wonderful things happening in your family. Most especially your healing. May God continue to strengthen you 🙏🙏🙏💖💖
As long as you are doing what you feel God is directing and calling you to do with the children and you are in obedience, it will be great! I’m a retired teacher. Spent my entire 35 year teaching career in a Christian school. Your children will be greatly blessed, will form some life long friendships, and learn to be even better leaders for Christ than they are now. Their world view will be cemented and their personal relationship with Christ will deepen. One semester at a time is a great philosophy!!!
Y'all are such a beautiful couple!! I adore the both of you ❤️ I'm so glad everything is going well for y'all. 🙂
A smart move...all around better for everyone at this time. And after all a new experience for boys.
This year when my sons started kindergarten I was so torn between homeschooling and private Christian school. We chose private Christian school and we’ve been so pleased at how well our boys are doing and how great it’s been for them.
Good for you😊
You have to do whatever works for your family, regardless of what anyone else thinks ❤
There are no bandages ? Even the part when he was walking in hall , and showed back of his head , no bandages? they shave the hair in area of the surgery for brain surgery . Curious, i'm retired nurse .
I noticed that too... curious
Puno, puno sreće vam želim!!! ❤❤❤Sve će biti dobro... Vi ste jedna divna, srećna porodica! Tata, drži se! ❤❤❤

Does anyone know if there's an update? I've just found them but see there's nothing for 9 months. I'm praying everything is going great. God is great💜💜💜
Coastal: yes, I find it troubling last vid is 11 months ago....
I hope everything is ok! Suddenly no more updates for 4 months or more…😢
As someone whose had multiple brain surgeries, we learned the underlying cause of my surgeries (a brain cyst) can be hereditary…and one child got it. She doesn’t need surgery…yet.
Have y’all checked to see if you carry any of the genes for the hereditary types of CCM? And if so, had your kids tested?
Bless your family, 💕 love to all xx😊
Hope u are going well now..where is your new video???🎉 im just subscribe your utube channel..God bless you and your family 🎉
Love you guys!!! A tip for the videos... the audio seems quiet.. I turn it up to hear you guys but the ads were reallllllly loud.
I bet you miss the kids ❤God Bless you all❤
