Caleb Miller was outed as LGBTQ and expelled from a Christian high school and then survived a massive brain tumor last year. Let's get him on the Ellen Show!
Caleb was outed and expelled from Bob Jones Academy, a fundamentalist Christian school, and had to finish high school from home. Then last year, he was a normal 20-year-old studying to be a social worker and working two part-time jobs until July 2016, when an unbelievably painful migraine hit him. A CT scan showed that it was a massive brain tumor, which, if not removed quickly, would kill him.
A few days later, he underwent intensive brain surgery to remove the tumor. During this surgery, Caleb suffered a massive stroke that paralyzed the left side of his body and took away his ability to walk and talk. He then had two subsequent brain hematomas and was not expected to survive.
He did survive, but was in a coma for two months and semi-conscious for another two. Despite medical predictions, he regained his ability to talk. His infectious, cheerful spirit, wit, and sense of humor continue to inspire all those who meet him and is quickly the favorite of every nurse, doctor, and therapist who works with him. His joyous attitude continues to inspire the world.
Caleb is incredibly inspired by his hero, Ellen Degeneres. He watches her show every day, rewatches clips on YouTube, reads one of her books each day. He aspires to walk on his own again so that he can dance with the blue-eyed angel.
