Today’s guest is my friend, Lauryn Sousa. She’s a young, active preschool teacher from Rhode Island whose life took a terrifying turn earlier this year after she contracted the flu. What started as a common illness quickly spiraled into a life-threatening emergency.
Lauryn lives alone, and navigating the early symptoms on her own was incredibly scary. Thankfully Lauryn made it to the hospital in time but it wasn’t all uphill from there— at one point, her doctors told her parents something no parent ever wants to hear, “your daughter only has an hour left to live”.
But against all odds, and with the help the Impella heart pump, Lauryn made a full recovery.
Her story is emotional, powerful, and a reminder not to take our health — or the people in our lives — for granted.
