Counting on a Miracle (Paperback)

Four-year-old Jake Fazzolari had always suffered from asthma-like symptoms. One day when he is rushed to the hospital during an asthma attack, his doctors make a disturbing discovery. A huge, mysterious tumor is growing in Jake's lung, making breathing next to impossible and surgery out of the question. Is it cancer... or something even worse? His family rallies around the weak boy as his doctors race to identify the mass and successfully treat it before it kills its young host. Cliff Fazzolari vividly describes his real-life struggles with his own emotions as he tries to comfort his sick son, hold his family together during the crisis, and maintain some semblance of a "normal" lifestyle. A moving, inspirational true story.
