Breakthrough


I just finished reading such a great book; Breakthrough by Thea Cooper. A copy of the book was sent to each member of the diabetic team from Eli Lilly. It's the story of Emily Hughes and the discovery of insulin and how it saved her life. Lilly was the reason that insulin came into existence by encouraging the young scientists who discovered it to be mass produced. He saved so many lives, including the one of Emily Hughes. She was the daughter of the famous Sec. of State, Charles Evan Hughes. It was a fascinating story and made me very proud that Cam works for such an outstanding company. It also made me thankful to be living in a time when modern medicine is at our fingertips and new discoveries are being made everyday. Reading a new book always makes me realize how much I have and to be truly grateful for everything my Heavenly Father has given me.
