What a heart warming story. She is a gutsy gal and I hope she lives to be 100 years old.----- "Leanne Storch" wrote:

Leanne,

Thanks for sharing this with everyone. I remember when Kerry was an active member of the group and struggling with the limitations imposed by this disease...this article just makes me want to cheer! I remember the picture her little girl Kami drew of her as Super Oxygen Girl complete with tubing and cannula. I wonder if it's still in the photo area?...I just checked and here it is:

Kerry is my hero!
