Science and Health brings healing and transforms a young life

Robin Weiland with contributions from Chris Weiland, Ralphine Locke

When I was 14, I became very ill and was hospitalized. After numerous tests and examinations, I was diagnosed after about three weeks with toxic shock syndrome.

During the time that I was in the hospital, I was on life-support in the intensive care unit, being fed intravenously. My heart had failed, and one lung had collapsed. At one point, the doctor told my mom that I was being kept alive only by medication, and that it didn't look as though I would get any better.

My mom had stayed with me the entire time and had been praying with a Christian Science practitioner just for her own support. It was at this point that she really intensified her study of Christian Science, because she knew that there was really no other hope for me, no other alternative that would save my life.
