Hi.
My name is Kaitlyn and Saw my life flash before my eyes.  
One minute I was perfectly fine, then the next I was in ICU fighting for my life.
Almost being put on life support and having to say goodbye ( even though I couldn’t speak or see).
I’m here, I’m inside my body yet no one can hear me...I felt helpless....
I heard you all and felt you all talking to me and helping me to come back...
To my daughter, who I love with all my heart
I couldn’t comfort her... she was so terrified.....I couldn’t tell her “mommy will be alright”
Well, here I am, doing ok... leaving the hospital today
A roller coaster of emotions I have felt...
Sadness
Sorrow
Helplessness
Love
Forgiveness
Happiness
Pain
And so much more...
But most of all THANKFUL
For my time is not over here
I’m still fighting to recover and to get better
But I am still here...
I wrote this not to get pity on myself but spread awareness
Life can change in a blink of an eye
I know mine did....
Show love, be kind, be thankful...
I know I am for my second chance at life...
Wrote this from the perspective of a friend who just went though this terrible time. Please continue to pray for her as she still recovers.
