Coming out of a couple rough years. The past 6 months I had been hospitalized for nearly 5 of those months. I died four times had just about every organ fail on my body...and I just could not grasp the fact that even after I was intubated and the admitting Doctor basically told my family I most likely would not make it through the day and there was no more he could do...I did make it to the next day. The next Doctor said get her to a more equipped hospital. Which of course was a challenge...so I am told. Heavy Summer Storm grounded the helicopters. Yet by the grace of God and all the prayers...my family found me a large enough ambulance to transport me and my 8 poles of IVs to The more equipped hospital that luckily I was fortunate enough for a bed in their Critical Care Unit where I was the sickest patient for two weeks. Really nothing to be proud of at 36 years old. Well here I am...I will spare the truly traumatic details. I am having a hard time understanding why I lived...I suffered so much before this. Why should I suffer more and finally a few weeks ago. In the freezing cold I finally was able to get to the beach. It's something about the water...i was born again humbled and gracious to get another chance at life. So I will stay thankful but live with purpose. As all of these thoughts were splitting my head I looked up and took this photo. #Thank You #Purpose #Enlightened #Shift
