When No One Else Believed by Ron Tripodo is a memoir that starts in 2003, when Tripodo's wife, Patsy, began showing signs of a serious illness. Over the next few years, Patsy’s health deteriorated, leading to a diagnosis of herpes simplex encephalitis, a rare and deadly brain infection. Despite the doctors' grim prognosis, Ron remained unwavering in his faith, believing that Patsy would be healed through divine intervention. As her condition worsened, including the need for a medically induced coma, Ron continued to rally friends and family to pray for her recovery. With each setback, Ron's belief in God's promise to heal her grew stronger. Over time, Patsy made a remarkable recovery, walking out of a rehabilitation center on her own, and later resuming her life, including passing a driving test.
When No One Else Believed by Ron Tripodo is a moving testament of faith, love, and the power of perseverance in the face of overwhelming odds. Tripodo’s writing is simple and direct, reflecting his deep devotion to his wife, Patsy, as she battles a rare and life-threatening illness. Through every setback, from grim medical diagnoses to personal doubts, Ron’s unwavering belief in God's promise of healing shines through. His story not only offers a look into the impact that brain illnesses can have on families but also serves as an inspiration to anyone struggling with similarly rare issues. While Christian readers will find solace and encouragement in his journey, it’s the Tripodo family who will most deeply connect with this book as a powerful piece of personal and family history, chronicling their incredible path to recovery.
