you go make it clean now you got this baby girl there you go that's what i want to see just push through it that's all she had to do just push through it you got it baby is it oh my gosh somebody call an ambulance quick it's gonna be okay the doctor's gonna give us some good news stay hydrated till then get some rest you make sure you relax too baby you got a champion should be all right ah i'm glad to see you're awake how are you feeling isabel [Music] mostly embarrassed if i'm being honest there's no reason to feel embarrassed you've been training seven days a week you're exhausted it's exhaustion right my husband has been pushing her too hard and i keep telling her isabel would never make the olympic team if she keeps thinking like that you gotta be mentally strong right and you're strong love you girl from the sounds of it isabelle's probably been training a little too hard but i'm afraid it's a little more serious than that what do you mean after running some preliminary tests we think isabelle has a rare neurological condition that's affecting her motor function wait wait wait what are you talking about i mean i mean look at her she looks perfectly fine i mean what happened today he was just a fluke right have you been falling slipping having trouble holding things a little more than normal i guess uh but i've been training really hard so i figured i was just tired the root cause isn't physical even though the symptoms might present that way the reason you've been falling and your legs went out today is because the neurons in your brain are misfiring i told you i wasn't over training her okay well what can we do surely there's some sort of treatment yeah there's a there's a cure right i mean i've i've already been going through physical therapy two times a week but i'll do whatever else it takes like whatever i'll i'll do it absolutely i mean she can't miss nationals so the sooner we start the treatment the better i mean unfortunately there is no known treatment what that's impossible medicine can treat so much this day and it'll be fine all right i mean it'll be just a just minor stumble here and there but she should still be able to train right that's the other thing this disease it's degenerative what does that mean your motor skills will continue to worsen daily tasks will become harder eventually your speech can go control over your bells control over everything [Music] so so you're saying that i would take the next few weeks to process everything and get your affairs in order if there's anything you ever wanted to do and haven't now's the time but she's only a teenager there has to be something we could do some sort of surgery or our trial i can refer you to some specialists but i doubt they'll have much more to say than i have i'll give you guys some time alone [Music] we'll get through this we'll get through this we could go and find a second opinion i'm sure there's some studies we're gonna get through this together as a family but in the meantime no more training right dennis i am where are you going stan there were you i'll be right back i know you're upset oh no no no her body can't be failing she's supposed to win gold in the olympics in two years listen this we've been training her since she was five i mean she just can't stop now no screw training she's not fighting for gold right now she's fighting for her life and she needs her father by her side to support her if she has any chance of beating this thing do you understand i don't this was my way out our way out you know how tired i am of going and working at nine to five and still being barely able to bring home food to the table if she made it to the olympics she would get sponsorships endorsements we would finally be able to escape this middle class nightmare baby we were free what good will money do if she spends the rest of her life in the hospital tell isabel i went to go get some coffee and when i come back i'll let her know gymnastics is over [Music] all right baby so so what do you think i should do the doctor said no no no listen listen doctors just say things just to be cautious right i mean you don't think this will stop you from training right i i don't know i mean the doctor said things could get worse yes yes but you're a fighter you're a fighter right you're not gonna quit because of this right yeah you're right all right you're right dad we've come so far i i can't give up now sweetie smoking all that smoker we'll get dressed so we can get out of here all right all right [Music] the dad refuses to let go of his dream to see his daughter in the olympics a few days later isabelle and dennis are back in the gym even though her body is telling her she shouldn't train she continues to push herself [Music] as time goes on her condition gets worse but no matter how bad it gets her dad doesn't let her stop eventually isabel collapses again this time isabelle's left in a coma she's unable to move or speak just as the doctor predicted would happen her dad's dream of seeing his daughter enter the olympics was finally over two years pass and isabelle's condition still doesn't improve the mom and dad continue to see her every day hoping for a miracle here is it's your favorite girl housewives i'm going to the cafeteria do you want anything oh thank you okay i'm gonna get a people magazine so i can read it to you [Music] excuse me can i have a word yeah uh i just got off the phone with our billing department no no no no i told you colleague speak to my insurance we have spoken to them and unfortunately under your current policy icu stays this long can't be covered much longer you'll have to pay out of pocket what i i can't afford this well i can recommend more affordable facilities it might be a better fit for isabelle's situation or oh what huh what since isabella's shown no sign of improvement and her condition continues to deteriorate the medical team has suggested it might be time to consider alternatives to consider if this is the quality of life you want for her are you telling me i'm suggesting you do what's best for your daughter given the situation look i know it's a lot to think about and you've still got some time so i'll come back another day what'd that man want sure and said uh you're not gonna cover the medical bills much longer what are we gonna do we can't afford this on our own listen baby i think it's time to start thinking about other options and what we're gonna do next no no no no no no no i don't want to do that she's been like this for two years she's a fighter i know she's in here i know she is just cause she's breathing with the help of a machine doesn't mean she's there of course she is i don't want to talk about this anymore just listen to me we need to have people magazine so i got this now will you give it a break i won't give up on her you play the tv and so she can see it yeah you read into it like she can understand but no because she does you're going to now this is an isabelle isabella's going uh i'm sorry she wouldn't want to keep doing this i mean she's supposed to be in the olympics instead she's here she can't even play gods she ain't a woman she's our daughter you know she's a fighter you made her that way i won't give up on her not until she gives me a sign i'm leaving where are you going baby i can't keep doing this i'm sorry i i just can't you walk out that door and leave our daughter don't ever think about coming back if you want to sit here and waste your life than that's on you but i gotta live my life that's nasty [Music] oh well same as last week and the week before that i thought this new medication was supposed to deliver more promising results it's still experimental and in the research stages what if this doesn't work what are our other options if isabelle's condition doesn't improve soon i think it's time we start discussing the alternative i wish i had better news for you after everything you've both been through but we'll cross that bridge when we get there i'll check back in tomorrow try and get some rest is if you're in there you have to let me know if you want me to accept this i will but if you want to fight you have to tell me you have to let me know [Music] maybe i'm just crazy [Music] the olympic team trials you should be there [Music] did you just squeeze my hand again [Music] oh my gosh doctor someone anyone she just she just squeezed my hand this is amazing news that means her brain functions increasing what were you doing when she squeezed your hand i just turned on gymnastics she might have a fighting chance after all [Applause] [Music] the mom is more excited than ever knowing her daughter can hear her isabelle slowly starts making progress beating all odds by waking up and beginning to regain control over her body again pretty soon she goes from sitting up to walking and with a little time some work and most importantly a lot of encouragement isabelle is able to return to the gym and once again start training for the olympics and although she has a few setbacks along the way she always gets up and keeps on fighting [Music] with her mom by her side she eventually shocks everyone [Music] by qualifying for the los angeles 2028 olympics [Music] isabelle and her mom can't believe it [Music] isabel isabelle chuck taylor with darman sports you mind if we ask you a few questions um yeah sure so tell me isabel you've just made the olympics and sponsors are lining up from everywhere to work with you how does it feel i i can't even describe it it feels so incredible i bet but before the money in fame you missed out on two years worth of training because you were in a coma your parents were told you were never gonna wake up there was no treatment how did you pull through it was a lot of different things god great doctors but if i had to choose just one i'd say my mom [Music] she talked to me she read to me she put gymnastics on the tv she never gave up on me not once so you could hear her it's hard to explain it but i could definitely feel it if that makes sense it kept me fighting how did you keep fighting i mean two years is a long time well being a gymnast we're taught to scale mountains and achieve the impossible and if you can't do it the first time just keep trying well this was just a new mountain a new impossible i love that what do you want people to take away from your story that they should never give up to keep fighting to keep dreaming because you can do anything that you set your mind to cut that was great the story's gonna inspire a lot of people thanks got it [Music] i still can't believe it my daughter an olympian [Music] we should celebrate how about that baby girl dennis what are you doing here you look nice nancy and uh i was just watching the news and i was hoping to speak to isabelle for a moment you have the nerve to come here after everything i'm going to go find security though mama's fine you don't have to talk to him if you don't want to it'll only take a second i'll be right over there if you need me it's good to see you too nancy baby girl i'm headed to dinner i just came to tell you i'm proud here you know i'm proud of us you know all the work we put in to get to this point us yeah i was your coach now yeah and that was the problem because you were my coach first and my dad's second uh no listen whatever your mama told you it was out of context isabel you were in a coma the doctor told us to pull the plug i i didn't know what to do well not giving up on me would have been nice okay i deserve that but i sacrificed years of my life to get you here to get you to the olympics i mean to have all the endorsements and the sponsorships rolling in all the money there's a better lesson if you don't want me in your life then okay that's just fine but the least you could do just just give me some money wow after all this time that's what you come back here for no no it's unbelievable in case you forgot i have a lot of bills that you left us to deal with that i'm still paying for you know i i hear you baby girl but i know you still got a little bit left over come on i can't believe you goodbye dad where you going i told you i'm headed to dinner i'm getting peace with mom pizza i'm an olympian now i can eat all the pizza i want remember [Music] wait baby girl no don't hold on hey hey fellas listen do you guys want the real story what happened like i'm the reason that isabelle is in the olympics i'm i'm i'm being truthful i'm telling you the truth really because she didn't mention you well you know interviews could be overbearing she might have just forgotten but listen i was there at the beginning i saw the potential i worked hard to get her there actually i think we got everything we need but no no no have a good day listen you know what the real story [Music] you failed another test it was really hard your sister just got on eight
