12 Days of Thanksgiving, Day Nine


My husband is the survivor of a serious illness. When he was 11 he developed spinal menningitis. He was told at least twice that he just had the flu, but when he collapsed with a 104 fever, it was determined that his illness was far worse. He was hopsitalized for over a month and also developed a staph infection on his brain, which required surgery. He still has a scar and a small hole in his skull from this surgery. While, he still has some lasting side effects from his illness, he was able to recover and continue with his life.

I am so thankful he was healed and that modern medicine was available to help him get better so that one day I would meet him and marry him and we could have our beautiful child (who is turning out more and more like his daddy every day).

If you would like to participate in the 12 Days of Thanksgiving (and I hope you do), write your post on your blog and come back and link to it on Mr. Linky below. Click here for more information on the 12 Days of Thanksgiving.
