Outside Reading 15

I found a short story in Chicken Soup for the Teen soul called Two Percent Is Enough. This story is about a little girl named Krissy who was sick from the day she was born. She was always weaker then other kids and as soon as she turned 4, things turned to the worst. She got a fever, high blood pressure, nonstop vomiting and her feet turned purple. She was taken to the emergency room and diagnosed with glumerulonephritis. She was given a 2% chance of survival. She recieved the right treatment and is now healthy and playing 4 sports. She says that even if you are given a 2 percent chance of survial, thats all you really need to get through and overcome the odds.
