Cierra Chubb said her family has learned to live as though you can go from being sick at home to being near-death in the hospital for five months, as she was. When frustrations arise, she said they have the perspective now to quickly find a solution and move on, adding, \"We don't have time to sit and be mad. We're not doing that anymore.\"

And when Cierra Chubb needs to walk slowly or take a break due to her lingering complications, Jamal Chubb calls it \"moving at the speed of gratitude.\"

\"It really slows everything down and causes you to take it all in because there was a battle that we won, and we won it together,\" he said.
