A trip to the local water park led to a survival story that captivated the nation. In the summer of 2013, Kali Hardig, a 12-year-old from Benton, Ark., was diagnosed with primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) - a disease that is almost always fatal. A combination of her mother's intuition and the fast-acting team that treated Kali upon her arrival in our Emergency Department led to nothing short of a miracle, as Kali become only the third known survivor of PAM in documented history. Relive Kali's miraculous recovery now.
