I was 4 years old in 1954, when I suffered a severe head injury that should have killed me. There were no CT scans, or MRI's, and no neurosurgeons, but my Mom and Dad and all of the wonderful Christians in my family prayed for my recovery. After 3 days of unconsciousness, I woke from a coma, had right side hemi-paresis, and seizures. I am a registered nurse, and only by the grace of God have I had a rich and fullfilled life.

The Zoloft did not change my personality, but I could finally stop crying....
