O knihe

Weeks after giving birth, Holly Frances went from being a healthy 26-year-old new mom to paralyzed and on life support-in less than 72 hours. Diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Holly was trapped in her body, unable to move, speak, or hold her newborn daughter. Life Support tells the story of how Holly struggled to overcome the despair, hopelessness and physical pain, to regain her health and get back to being a mother to her daughter. This heart-wrenching memoir intertwines the 126 days Holly spent in hospital, with her childhood, family life, and eventual recovery. This book is the go-to resource guide for those living with GBS and other autoimmune illnesses in need of hope, encouragement, and helpful tips; and for caregivers, friends, and medical professionals looking for inspiration and insight on how to support someone dealing with the challenges of these devastating illnesses. Life Support is also for those inspired by the fight in others - readers going through their own personal struggles in life. A captivating, raw, and emotional story of perseverance, Holly's journey reminds us that no matter how hopeless things may seem, it's possible to come out the other side stronger and more resilient than before. Holly's recovery videos on social media have inspired many with her fighting spirit and have over 20 million views from around the world. With the addition of new chapters and years passed, Life Support replaces Holly's first book, Happily Ever After: My Journey with Guillain-Barre Syndrome and How I Got My Life Back.
