Marcus Johns has been released from the hospital and is home a week after being the victim of a hit and run.
The 27-year-old YouTuber’s wife Kristin was also involved and she remains in the hospital as of Monday night (May 18).
Kristin shared a few updates from her hospital bed, and ended with a video of Marcus at home with their dog, showing his leg all bandaged up. See a screenshot in the gallery!
“Passed out again during PT this morning which was a major setback. But maybe we can go home tonight,” Kristin wrote on Instagram stories being hopeful before sharing she can’t leave the hospital yet. “Not going home tonight like we hoped but it’s okay 🙏🏽🙏🏽. I am not in pain for the first time since the accident 😭. I never want to move from this heavenly position 😂✨.”
“I was actually freaking out earlier but being out of pain for the past few hours has made me so happy 😭😭. Today I started journaling which is VERY difficult for me. I know it is imperative that I process my emotions in this situation – I am a MASTERRR at pushing away hard thoughts & distracting myself from letting myself feel hard emotions so this so I’m happy I decided to do this for myself!” Kristin continued.
“I have been stressed about what will happen with work to be honest. My content is definitely going to take a little shift for a bit but everything will be back to normal again one day (soon) hopefully!” she added. “And honestly I’ve never ever felt more connected with you guys on this REAL level before so 🥰. This will be different but that’s okay. 🙏🏽”
A few days prior, the couple each shared videos of them doing physical therapy to be able to move around, despite each having broken legs.
Marcus and Kristin Johns are recovering in the hospital after a scary accident.
The YouTube couple were out for a bike ride when a car was “driving erratically and swerving” hit them and caused them to fly “about 50 feet from the impact.”
Kristin shared that she has a broken femur and Marcus also has a broken leg, and he shared that he blacked out.
Marcus and Kristin both shared updates on their conditions and thanking Jesus from their hospital beds.
“Jesus saved our lives last night. Please keep us in your prayers – my femur is broken and marcus’s leg is broken as well. We both had surgery this morning. I am thankful to have you guys who I know love us & have faith so please just lift us up & praise Jesus for saving us. I am thankful that we are alive,” Kristin captioned a video on Tuesday night (May 12).
“Me and @kristinjohns are ok! Nothing is official yet, but this is what we think has happened: We were on the far side of the road with other bikers and pedestrians. It is a residential neighborhood with multiple stop signs and speed bumps back to back over a short distance. I look down the road and heard an engine revving all the way up and it seemed like in the moment the guy was trying to hit us on purpose. I said to Kris ‘what is this guy doing!?’ He was driving erratically and swerving towards us. I tried to swerved out of the way but he just followed us to hit us. I blacked out until I got to the hospital. So after I don’t know what really happened,” Marcus wrote on Instagram.
“Sadly Kristin was fully conscious and had to watch me unresponsive on the concreate till ambulance arrived for us. Kristin said we flew about 50 feet from the impact. When I woke up and was trying to explain what happened, and I didn’t think people would believe me that I was convinced he was trying to actually kill us. But now it wall makes sense if the robbery and police pursuit is officially confirmed. Anyways, scary stuff,” Marcus continued. “We are better now but please keep us in your prayers. We love you all. Me and kris got to see each other briefly today before going into our surgery and I am so glad she is safe. To friends and family, sorry if we don’t respond to you all now, it is hard to keep up with all of those reaching out (which is of course an amazing blessing to have!) praise Jesus. He has a plan for you and after today me and Kristin were totally reminded of this. Surviving this was nothing short of a miracle. ❤️🙏🏻”
We are glad they are OK and sending so many positive thoughts their way!
