Imagine having a major internal organ removed. Imagine having 6 vital organs removed. Now, imagine you're only 7 years old and had this surgery.
We take too much for granted - our health, our lifestyle and standard of living, our indoor plumbing and more. We gripe, rant and carry on about stuff we can't control, just because we can.
Well, there's a lot to be learned from this 7 year-old girl who gave an optimistic message to anyone who's sick, or has a child who's sick: "There is hope."

So true Alysia. I think it's amazing that after undergoing a marathon surgery and having to deal with so medications and trying to understand the way her body works in new ways, she actually showed up for a press conference. What strength. You're right. Adults have much to learn from this little girl.
