Non-Fiction Biography | Self-Help Relationships
On the night of July 3, 1996, Andrew Bateson watched holiday
fireworks with his family. Twelve hours later, he lay in a
coma, stricken with bacterial meningitisone of the fastest
moving of all infections. Over the next three weeks the
hospital fought an often minute-by-minute battle to keep him
alive. Guided by a remarkable team of doctors, the staff
ultimately defeated the disease, but with a cost: Andrew
lost both his legs below the knees, and there are questions
whether hell ever have use of his hands. But UP AND RUNNING
is a story about comebacks: Its about a family that at first
loses faithsometimes angrily sothen uses faith to will their
child to live; about parents who, toward the storys end,
return from an unraveling marriage to a solid one which they
consecrate by having a new baby in midlife; and about a boy
who wakes from a coma without legs and learns to live a
normal life.
