Raggedy Angel is such a story, a dark night of the soul journey. Author Jill Davis takes you through a maze of medical ethics, spiritual and physical challenges. Her three year old son, Christopher was bitten by a tick and became comatose. Four months later she brought home from Children’s Hospital, a child who was altered beyond recognition. Both feet and seven fingers were amputated. His brain damage was so severe that the medical profession could not tell where the coma ended and the brain damage started. Cortically blind, he functioned at the level of a seven month old until his death at six years old.
If you find yourself walking through sorrow, yours or someone else’s, Raggedy Angel’s almost unbearably honest account of moving from surviving to thriving will empower you. |
