Her Survival

Bethany Hamilton had lived through the horrible shark attack that Friday morning. We should remember that it takes determination and courage to be able to stand above and heal from such a life-threatening incident like this. When we lose 20% of the blood our body goes into shock. Bethany had lost 60% of her blood which clearly means that she was an inch away from losing her whole life altogether. Alana’s dad’s tourniquet was something that helped a lot in preserving Bethany’s life.  So what about the shark?
