Taking Illness As Strength, Victoria Arlen Never Gave Up

Victoria's life is one of the most heartwarming inspirational stories. As a child, she was active in sports and particularly loved swimming. She was like a little dynamite, full of energy, and always bouncing with joy. 

The joy, however, did not last long. When she was 11, she started feeling pain on the right side of the abdomen. Ther doctors, thinking it to be an illness related to the appendix, duly performed an appendectomy but the pain did not subside.

And in 2006, a year later, her body slowly gave up. She lost all her motor functions and cognitive functions. In other words, she could not walk, could not even move, speak, or even blink. Her family members and doctors alike could not identify the trigger for her illness. It took seven years for the diagnosis with the doctors claiming her to have transverse myelitis and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, two of the rarest autoimmune diseases which affected her brain and spinal cord. 

For three years she laid motionless in her personalized hospital bed, without uttering a word. The doctors informed her family of the inevitable, but they did not give up. However, in January 2009, after three years in the vegetative state, she finally regained her senses. She could hear others talk, but she could still not speak. During her coma state, she could listen to her doctors and family talking about not making up. 

However, the worst fears of the family were allayed when she gradually showed signs of life. She slowly progressed and learned to read, write and speak again. She had lost four valuable years of her life to the illness and wanted to get better faster so that she could follow all those things she missed. 

After endless sessions with therapists and supportive family behind her back, she enrolled for her degree and took to the pool once again. Despite recovering from the vegetative state, she still was paralyzed below her waist with doctors concluding that she would remain the same for all her life. 

After learning swimming again, she competed at 2012, London Paralympics and won four medals a gold medal and three bronzes.

After the Paralympics, she started touring around the country speaking about her ordeals and inspiring numerous persons with her life story. And it was in 2015 ESPN came calling and she duly obliged, making her one of the youngest people in sports broadcasting scene. 

Her win over her illness came full circle when she joined paralysis recovery center called Project Walk, and slowly got her movements back. What's more, in the year 2017, she ticked off another of her dream of competing in the DWTS. Not only did she took part, but she also challenged for the win in the show with her partner Val Chmerkovskiy, eventually finishing in the fifth place.
