It&#8217;s the same daughter who survived retinoblastoma.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Davis went on \u2063to reveal that \u200chis daughter had experienced her first seizure \u200din nearly two years, and this one was the most severe she\u2063 had\u200d ever endured.<\/p>\n<p>Upon arriving\u2064 at the hospital, \u2062Davis learned from his wife that their daughter had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-no-charges-will-be-filed-against-officers-in-daniel-prude-case\/\" title=\"BREAKING: No Charges Will Be Filed Against Officers In Daniel Prude Case\">stopped breathing<\/a> twice during the \u2062transport.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;So, of course, I&#8217;m praying. We get\u200b to the hospital, they administer medication to stop the seizure, and she&#8217;s \u200dlying there,&#8221; Davis\u200d recounted. &#8220;At that point, if she seizes for 30 minutes, you start to fear that there could be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nfl-linebacker-demario-davis-shares-his-faith-at-press-conference-following-daughters-seizure\/\" title=\"NFL linebacker Demario Davis opens up about his faith after his daughter's seizure at a press conference.\">developmental issues affecting<\/a> her \u2062brain. \u200dShe stopped breathing. If there was no oxygen reaching her brain, you start to worry about her speech \u2063being affected\u2062 or worse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>With faith and hope, Davis and his wife fervently prayed for their daughter. Miraculously, at\u2063 around 3 a.m., she woke up in the hospital\u2062 and began speaking with remarkable clarity, even better than before the seizure.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The next morning, when\u200d she got up, my daughter was so sharp. She was able to talk\u200b to me and her mom, having a clear conversation. I mean, she&#8217;s \u2063sharp for a four-year-old, no stuttering, all her words clear,&#8221; Davis shared. &#8220;And my daughter, like I said, my daughter&#8217;s already\u200d sharp. She was \u2062sharper \u200bthan before. If any of you were able to\u2062 have a conversation with my daughter, you wouldn&#8217;t know anything\u200b had ever happened.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Davis emphasized that\u200b NFL players, despite their\u2064 fame and success, face challenges and \u200bstruggles just like anyone else in life.<\/p>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>&#8220;And people are \u200bwaiting for a\u2062 knock. And the Word \u200bsays who Jesus is, He&#8217;s knocking at the door,&#8221; Davis declared. &#8220;All\u200b you&#8217;ve got to do \u2064is get\u200c up. So, on the way, I&#8217;m nervous, but I&#8217;m praying, and\u2064 I&#8217;m \u200dtrusting, and I&#8217;m believing. I&#8217;m not asking \u2063for my daughter to simply make \u200dit through; I&#8217;m \u200basking that she&#8217;s better than before.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"nfl-c-body-part nfl-c-body-part--text\">\n<p>&#8220;And\u200c God gave me just \u200cwhat I asked for, plus some. I was blown away. And at \u2063that\u200c point, I knew \u200cthe game was going to\u200c take care of itself. My knock had already been answered,\u2063 and I just want people to know if you&#8217;ve got stuff going on in your life,\u200b lay it before the \u2063Lord. Lay it before the\u200b Lord and trust. And\u200c be expecting of a\u2063 knock. Because the \u200bword says what you have to do\u2062 is, you have to get up and open the door. And your blessing \u2062is going to be\u2063 there,&#8221; he concluded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;I didn&#8217;t ask for \u2062my daughter\u200b to make it through, I&#8217;m asking that she&#8217;s better than before\u2026 \u2062God gave me just what I was \u200casking for plus some.
