I am a 43 year old ARDS survivor living in the Seattle area. I've been home for about 4 months now and doing quite well.
You can read my story on my website www.johnnelson.net or my blog at johnnelsonnet@blogspot.com
Hi, John. I posted that article about you on our message board when it came out. I also mailed it to several in the media hoping that this might cause some of them to check it out and perhaps look into ARDS and how many folks it strikes, it kills, each year in the US
I am so happy that you found us, the blog, and so happy to hear that you are doing well now.
If you ever decide you want to add your story to our site, just let me know.
Happy New Year, John. Eileen
how dumb am I? We have John's story on the site, and it will be in the next online newsletter...
Obviously I am in my own little world!!
