♥♥♥♥♥ Informative,February 5,
2013, Michael
After our geneticist told us that he believed
that our daughter may have Loeys Dietz syndrome we went home to find out all we
could. There are a few informative websites, however we really wanted to know
how this may affect our family in our day to day life. We went to Amazon and
did a search to see if anything would come up and to our surprise this book was
there. Even though the affects of this syndrome, to some regard, may vary from
one person to another we took great comfort in reading a book about this close
family from the midwest and how with each difficulty they became stronger and
closer because of it. After reading this book the prospect of Loeys Dietz
syndrome didn't look as hopeless. This book is inspirational, tear jerking and
empowering. I found myself crying and even laughing at times. It is very well
written and an easy read. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is facing
any rare connective tissue syndrome such as marfan and ehlers- danlos, etc...
as well.
May God continue to bless the Jurgens family!
♥♥♥♥♥Inspirational, June 22, 2012 By RJM Inspiring book, allowing us into the hardship and trials of a family with first an unknown then rare genetic birth defect. Their faith is what held them above the water through it all. The strength of Mo for all she goes through is so apparent, taking the next surgery in her stride. Highly recommended.

ReplyDelete♥♥♥♥♥ Dear MO, July 7, 2012 By MKNEES - Wonderful book about a strong family. Most parents cannot be thankful enough for their healthy children. Everyone needs to read.
ReplyDelete♥♥♥♥♥A moving memoir, July 7, 2012 By RLL - A very moving book that shows the incredible strength of a mother and her quest to seek care for her daughter with a rare genetic disorder. As a mother, it instilled in me that as parents we must always be the first advocate for our children and their best interests. As a healthcare provider, it make me re-think how I interact with my patients by listening and supporting them in their diagnosis and treatment.

ReplyDeleteThis is a true life account of the birth of a child with a very rare condition, how the family fought to find out what it was and how the child has grown into a wonderful young lady. I am fortunate to know the aunt of Mo and to have therefore heard even more inspiring tales of Mo's life.
