Abbey Spinelli: In The Morning Came The Light, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

When Abbey Spinelli woke from the darkness of a coma, she had no understanding of where she was or why she was there. Overwhelming pain and illness gripped her body, explosions of psychedelic colours tormented her vision, and the only other living being in her isolation room was covered head to toe in PPE, adding to her intense confusion. Abbey - a wife and mother of two young boys - was yet to know she'd spent the past week in a medically induced coma after suffering a rare and extreme response to a COVID-19 complication. Described by doctors as the sickest patient in ICU at the time, Abbey had been placed on ECMO - the highest form of life support - and yet her distressed family had not been allowed by her bedside due to severe covid restrictions. During this week a powerful and increasingly bold prayer chain for Abbey's survival grew across Australia and to many countries around the world, carrying her family through the days of desperate uncertainty. Not only did Abbey survive, her incredible recovery from the extremes of life-threatening cardiogenic shock defied medical odds, amazing the doctors and nurses treating her. And yet her healing didn't end there. Told with vulnerability and grace, In The Morning Came The Light is an uplifting story of family, faith and friendship.
