The Other Side of the Rainbow Book

At 8:37 on a Saturday evening, Mickey Antu-Urias's husband, Joel, made the most important phone call of his life. This phone call set in motion events that would ultimately save Mickey's life. Within six hours, Mickey had undergone brain surgery, the first of three such surgeries she would have over the next three weeks. Mickey had suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm, and her survival was a modern day miracle. An incredible medical team, supportive family and friends, and extensive therapy have kept Mickey alive and well. But not all who suffer brain aneurysms are as fortunate as Mickey. Many will die or emerge permanently disabled. Mickey's tale is one of blessings, perseverance, and faith. The Other Side of the Rainbow offers Mickey's firsthand account of her fight to survive a ruptured brain aneurysm. Mickey takes readers inside the world of an aneurysm survivor and explains warning signs, contributing factors, and methods of early detection for brain aneurysms. The Other Side of the Rainbow is a powerful story of survival and a much-needed tool for raising awareness in hopes that others will be able to tell their stories of survival just as Mickey has.
