This is Cheyenne Rae Owensby. She had always been a beautiful and healthy girl. But one day, something tragic happened and her life was at risk: Cheyenne was spending some time with her father, who is separated from her mother, when her mom suddenly got a call and some bad news.
Cheyenne was only 8 months old when her father decided to shake her violently because she wouldn’t stop crying. Her father’s reckless behavior led to a skull fracture and some bleeding in her brain. Cheyenne’s mother was told over the phone that her precious daughter had been taken to the hospital and was not breathing.
The doctors told her that Cheyenne’s condition was so serious that she would require permanent care form now on and would remain in a vegetative state for the rest of her life. She remembers dealing with the devastating news: “Between crying so hard I was shaking and throwing up, I was begging God to please save her or to take me instead.”
