Hi! Most of you know Martha Bryan’s unsettling health history, but some do not. Long story short, she has almost lost her life twice. Once when she was five and had severe complications with swine flu that led to pneumonia, and another when she suffered an undiagnosed illness that stole at least three years of her life while she was in middle school and high school. We are hoping that she can have two surgeries, one to remove her spleen, and another to help her with breathing issues. We may never know why she suffers health wise, but we are hopeful that these surgeries can improve her quality of life going forward.
