A note from Hanna Latvus, Finland

"I got meningococcemia in july 2008, in just a few hours i went from healthy young woman to unconsciouness that lasted 10 days. No hope was given to my family at first week. When unconscious i saw very realistic dreams, i knew i have to fight and all people who visited me in hospital were in my dreams. I was in ventilation machine, my kidneys, liver didnt work and there was huge problems with my blood circulation. When i woke up i was just so happy to be alive, even though i coudnt move at all for over a month. My hearing was very bad and 4 fingers partly and all toes had to be amputated. Recovery took very long time, i was in hospital 8,5 months and it took 7 months to take first steps. But now im working part-time and studying accounting. And got married in May with my great husband who has been supporting me all the time.It was great to read Sheilas story, shes a real survivor and has remained positive attitude to life. We both were very close to die but got second opportunity, of course with some limitations because our disabilities. Best wishes for the new year 2010! Hanna Latvus, Finland."

Seasons Greetings and Best Wishes for the New Year

I recently heard from a reader in Finland who contracted meningococcemia in 2008. After months of surgery and with her prosthetics, she has resumed her life, got married and is pursuing a new career. She found the book on the internet and tells how it made her feel good to hear about a few similarities between her and Sheila's experience. I am hoping that she will share the details in my blog.
