Heartbreaking. I had to reread it because it is just so real that there's no neat box to wrap this all up into. And I may have wanted to ignore the ending. I rewrote it, making a happier ending, though at the same time invalidating the true dangers of having a chronic condition that isn't fully handled or supported by others. It takes a village shouldn't just refer to children. It is super validating so if you have any chronic condition, or neurological one, this would be a good read if you feel alone. But if you feeling hopeless, wait for a good day for this one. There's an ending, that's all I can say. It is a step up, a step towards enjoyment, but only half a one, in my opinion.
