I find it ironic that the types of books I like to read and movies
I like to watch are about people who have been faced with less than
favorable odds and yet were able to beat those odds. Little did I
know that my life was about to become one of these stories. On
March 5, 2010, I was admitted to the hospital with influenza A,
pneumonia that quickly went into Acute Respiratory Distress
Syndrome. I was given less than one percent chance of survival. At
first I wasn't too keen on the idea of writing about my illness. I
wondered if I really wanted to go back and recount, or continue to
remember, this nightmare. Would writing about it maybe help me down
the road? Would this be what I needed to do in order to heal
emotionally? A nurse in my neurologist's office encouraged me to
write my story because she said there never has been a book written
about someone with Multiple Sclerosis who had gone through what I
did and not have a flare up from this disease, let alone survive.
So she gave me the incentive to tell my story in hopes that it
would help others. I also thought about other families who might go
through similar situations and who could get encouragement from my
experience. Above all, I wanted to express my thanks to my husband,
my children, and my friends and to my God for the help and
encouragement they provided during my illness and my road to
recovery. I hope this encourages you as well.
