Life in the Cave

LIFE IN THE CAVE - BOOK ONE
Carole's death would officially begin my experience with life in the cave for the next eighteen months. It started out as simple fatigue. Not being able to climb as many stairs as usual. But soon Celia's tiredness developed into severe leg pain and eventually, hair loss. Over the course of two years spent overriding her family and friends' concerns Celia was finally forced to admit something was seriously wrong. After a long bout of testing she discovered the source of her misery: a severe autoimmune disease with the ominous name of Grave's. Celia's fight with sickness was never easy. Radiation and surgery put a strain on her immune system and made it hard for her to recover her body weight and energy. But she was never alone. Her family, her friends and her faith were always there to comfort and protect her. Join Celia Marie in finding out about Life in the Cave--and how she emerged back into the sunlight.
EMERGING FROM THE CAVE - BOOK TWO
Within approximately five minutes after administering the anesthesia, the nurse wheeled me out of my pre-op room as I waved goodbye to Maria and Glynis, telling Maria that I loved her. Celia Marie struggled with life in the cave for several years and today was the day the fight would finally be over--or so she thought. But the struggle only seemed to increase after her surgery, leaving her weak both physically and spiritually. Luckily, through the faith, hope and love of her friends and family, Celia was able to fight off the after-effects of her crippling bout with Graves' disease and emerge into the light from the cave-like darkness of illness. Join Celia Marie for this harrowing journey through the cave of pain, heartache and the process of healing. Anyone who knows the difficulty of recovery will want to walk with her and experience the joy of Emerging From the Cave.
BEYOND GRAVES' DISEASE - BOOK THREE
The words that you are about to read are vignettes of possibility, hope, light, dreams, laughter and surrender. I offer you the words of someone who doesn't dream that it's over. Limitless possibilities are my focus now. Join Celia Marie in her offering of her last book in her Graves' Disease series. Anyone who is in the process of recovery will relate to her as she shares her perspective on recovery at this point in her journey of healing in Beyond Graves' Disease Thoughts and Reflections.
