Remembering Rare Neurological Illness (ADEM) Sparks Painful Memories & Gratitude 26 Years Later
Description
On Halloween,1999, Sandra Levine's husband, Michael, was rushed by helicopter to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania due to Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis, or ADEM. Michael nearly died -- twice. His recovery was long and very difficult, lasting many years.
And while Michael eventually made a remarkable recovery, even after 26 years, challenges remain. Both Sandra and Michael say while some of the memories are painful, looking back on how far they've come, sparks deep feelings of gratitude.
Sandra presents public speaking programs on brain injury recovery, caregiving, grief, and reconnecting with joy once the worst of a crisis has passed. Learn more by visiting Sandra Levine Production's website, https://sandralevine.com/
