Overview
It was a journey that most parents would hope to avoid: a son born with a congenital heart defect, a fateful decision to take a family trip abroad, and an emergency hospitalization that left them stranded on the other side of the world with no obvious way home.
Despite these difficult circumstances, More Than We Expected is not a tragedy. Instead, this memoir offers valuable lessons about the privilege of parenthood and the practice of medicine: the mysterious ways in which the body forms and grows, giving life; how we find the faith to live with our decisions, even if the consequences are beyond our control; and a familyās extraordinary capacityāwhen something goes wrongāto compensate and heal.
More Than We Expected is a story of finding strength in the most unexpected places. Our children have a special ability to reveal the goodness in the worldātheir eyes a window to a life full of wonder. Like them, this book is a vivid reminder of what it means to be humanāa miraculous, inexplicable gift, however fleeting.
