Robert, a self-described Atheist, was diagnosed with CIDP as a baby. CIPD is a rare and incapacitating disorder, which confined him to a wheelchair and left him living in children's hospitals throughout his childhood. Despite medical professionals deeming it impossible for him to walk, Robert defied the odds and achieved a miraculous recovery. His family believes this recovery may be linked to a vision of the Virgin Mary that Robert experienced shortly before. This episode delves into Robert's extraordinary journey growing up with significant challenges, and the paranormal events he encountered during this time and continues to experience to this day. Additionally, it explores how these phenomena affected the beliefs of his family members in various ways, and how despite witnessing what many people would consider miracles, Robert remains an Atheist to this day.
