Grace wanted to add this note to all her doctor friends, especially.
She said 'What is so important about this accident/event is that we don't have enough experience in seeing things as the miracle that they are. As everything being a miracle. Doctors like me are used to expecting bad outcomes and dealing with them. Or waiting for good ones that turn out bad and mourning them. But we have little to no experience in how it feels when you expect everything to turn out awful and small miracles happen that may not register for the doctors.
When I took my first shower last week in 3.5 months and the warm water washed over my body...how it felt in that moment was better than Paris. It was better than Hawaii.
It was as good as a baby's kiss.
I love you all.'
