I watched the Today show this morning and there was a remarkable story about hope. A 7-year old little girl named Heather had a tumor near her stomach. The tumor had been removed but just 9 months later it returned with a vengeance. Heather and her family were given very little hope and told that doctors would just try to treat her organs as they began to fail. They didn't give up hope and found a remarkable doctor. She had 6 vital organs removed to include her stomach, pancreas, spleen, liver, small & large intestines. They removed the tumor and then replaced all of her organs w/the exception of her stomach, pancreas and spleen. Doctors had to create a pouch to replace her stomach and because she no longer has a pancreas she is effectively a diabetic. She is being nourished through a tube right now but will be able to resume a fairly normal diet. Medicine is so awesome. She is going to have a life and a fairly normal one which is vastly different than her prognosis just a few months ago. She was certainly hamming it up for the cameras. She couldn't wait to get home to play w/her older sister and her pet. I just love to hear heart warming stories like that.
