Kaci's children have craniosynostosis, a condition where the infant
skull sutures (openings) fuse early and a secondary condition,
chiari malformation, caused by the growing brain pushing its way
down the spinal column. With 13 surgeries between the children, the
Kings are often asked how they manage daily life along with the
difficult diagnoses and seemingly endless trips to the operating
room. Finding help did not come easily. Kaci trusted her instincts
and pushed on, focusing on the children's health and leaning on
sources of strength. The conditions could be fixed once they found
a doctor who knew how to help. Their continued search led to Dr.
Ben Carson, Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins
Hospital: an angel in disguise. The children would have suffered
gravely without the treatment they so desperately needed. As Dr.
Carson states in his foreword, "In Light Will Emerge, Kaci King has
provided a wonderful mechanism to gain foreknowledge of the
difficulties of navigating the medical system..." There is hope
even in the worst of situations, blessings when most aren't sure
any exist. Life is about attitude. Kaci was taught that for every
action, there is a reaction, good or bad. She shares her family's
journey: how they coped; how they found their inner strength; and
how not knowing what else to do, they prayed. Kaci offers a wealth
of information explaining the medical conditions, websites and
online support groups. Through this book, she sheds light on what
helped them overcome obstacles, how they found strength during
difficult times, and encourages others who may feel hopeless. Kaci
shares the heartache and many blessings received throughout this
journey. Light Will Emerge enables parents and caregivers to push
on to find help in a medical crisis and hopefully to help medical
professionals understand their very real story.
