In July of 1996, Andrew Bateson was stricken with bacterial meningitis. Mark Patinkin did a wonderful job telling not only Andrew's story of but his parents story. Truly an inspirational and heartbreaking book. Great pictures but some a little hard to look at. It is truly amazing how fast the bacterial meningitis spread and all the damage it did.
