Re: highly recommended NYT article

A big ole cyberhug for finding this and posting it. I really appreciate all the time and energy you put into research and postings here.
This was both inspiring and depressing at the same time. While I did take away from the article that attitude, faith and determination make a huge difference in outcomes, and that you don't have to give up when the doctor gives you a disheartening prognosis, I also took away that something like this is a one in a million situation. So that last part is pretty sad.
Very interesting to read, thank you again for sharing it with us.
