I understand, my story isn&#8217;t exactly the easiest to read, but Dr. Baer and I felt it was necessary to share the truth so that our readers would understand the true depth of the incomprehensible illness, multiplicity. I want to encourage you to continue reading; the worst of the trauma is at the beginning. \u00a0It was necessary to tell all to allow understanding. \u00a0I believe when someone stops at the horrific part and doesn&#8217;t read through to the end, they will never experience the miracle of my healing and survival. I believe my story was meant to be shared.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Thank you for respecting me and having compassion for me. I truly appreciate your sincere feelings. Please know that I am alive and well. And if you have any more questions or thoughts please, write me again or join me on Facebook.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Karen<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Lisa Erickson\u00a0on 17 Feb 2010 at 4:58 pm Dear Karen, You are amazing!
