Life can be challenging even in the simplest of times. But in a world where "life" itself is threatened, the complications are overwhelming and exhausting. The story within this book tells how our family found the only way to survive was to lean on God while taking one day at a time. The promise of healing was never given to us and indeed was never truly expected. The diagnosis was clear and offered little hope... "only a 20 percent chance to live to age five." The guidance of our God and the prayers of so many were the only hope we had for a miracle, and even that was never truly promised. We would find that as we looked back over the years, we could see God's hand at work on our behalf long before we even knew we needed help. We learned to take one step at a time as we walked through life, one day at a time.
