Produktbeschreibung
Merlin Bott, a now retired flight attendant diagnosed with Hydrocephalus and how she overcame adversities to live with the condition in order to become a warrior in the fight for a cure. In 2013, at the age of 58 Merlin was hospitalized for 29 days for what was believed to be a severe case of SARS but after several tests from various physicians and the Center for Disease Control, a neurosurgeon who performed an MRI and confirmed the Hydrocephalus diagnosis. Merlin documented her journey on social media and became an advocate for awareness of this rare and incurable disease by helping to organize annual walks with Hydrocephalus Association Foundation to raise funds for a cure. Strength, Resilience and Triumph, is an inspiring story of Merlin's journey from the time of her diagnosis to having brain surgery and the will to survive. Merlin's journey documents how she willingly accepted help from an entire community of people - some she met through the foundation, others were random strangers but most of all her friends and family and beautiful relationship of her husband Chris. What emerges from this book is an inspiring story for anyone coping with the overwhelming ordeal of living with Hydrocephalus.
