Wow, today was such a hard day. I finally got to reading and studying about this disease and, to be completely honest, the numbers don't look very encouraging statistically speaking. I have to admit to losing just a little hope today and for me, that's really a hard hard thing.
I knew this would eventually come, but I tried so hard to not notice this information. It turns out the median average time with this disease is only 17.6 months. The 3 year survival rate is only 1 in 20 and the five year is 1 in 5000. Those are really tough odds, but I am trying to remember that for everyone who falls short, there is someone who exceeds the rates as well.
So, if you ever had a feeling to pray for us and our family, NOW would be the time to exercise your faith in our behalf. I really need some positive influence around me right now. They say that I am ahead of where they expected me to be right now, so I feel all the effort at running was worth it.
