Four-year-old Ava Adams was born premature. At only 27 weeks old, she started a long 15-month process of 12 surgeries. Her brave parents, Brittany and Jamison, now credit country music legend Willie Nelson for saving Ava’s life. But she needs prayers for a full recovery.
With 213 days in the NICU, the parents prayed and played music for her:
“Any time she was having a bad day, you could play Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash or Ray Price and her stats would come up, she would start doing better just almost immediately,” Jamison tells News Channel 10 in Amarillo, Texas.
As she grew older and lived through one miracle after another, she responded the most to Willie Nelson’s voice. Now she is is older, and carries a backpack with a feeding tube and a Willie Nelson doll. She carries it everywhere!
They thank Willie Nelson for the profound impact he has had:
Her mother says they’re going to be patient and wait for another opportunity to see Nelson when the venue is conducive to Ava’s needs. Until then, she offers up her thanks to the country icon.
“You have no clue how many times you’ve actually saved our daughter’s life,” Brittany says. “There were times where her heart rate was incredibly low. She was … cardiac, she was not doing well. She spent so long in there and it was such a long road, but actually just playing that music for her really, really did change and save her life.

Her struggle continues, but it’s clear that Willie Nelson inspired this little girl to fight for her life during these surgeries. Willie changed her life forever, and we are ALL praying for Ava!
Please share this powerful example of what Willie Nelson’s music can do. May God Bless Ava Adams and her family.

There have been many studies on the effect music has on our mind, mood, and body, and the new pathways it creates in our brain. Why do you think pregnant mothers often play music to their unborn child. Apparently this little girl responds to Willie's back phrasing style of music. Possibly her heartbeat was in sync with his music. Whatever the reason I'm glad that she is pulling through and will have this story to tell her Grandchildren!!
Jeff---you are so wrong...and a bit of a grinch besides. Pets can also be the difference between life and death in a hospital ward....You really ought to apologize...that's how wrong you are. Doctors and nurses need all the help they can get, and if Willie, the Weed Nelson is that catalyst, go for it...
The song Willie sang was a tribute to the GREAT PHYSICIAN who did the miracle of saving her life. All of the Doctors and Nurses were the instruments he used to do his miracle in her little life. Thank you Lord for all of the Doctors, Nurses, Mom and Dad and Willie that all played a part in this miracle.
I don't want to be a grinch and I certainly hope that little Ava's progress continues. But crediting Willie Nelson with saving her life does a disservice to the nurses and doctor's who diagnosed, performed the surgeries, and monitored her recovery. While Willie's voice may have helped, Ava's recovery had more to do with their knowledge, care, and ability.
Prayers to this little one and her family. God bless Willie Nelson.
