On January 27, 2009, American Red Cross hero Lizzie Bell and her family were greeted and whisked away by Ty Pennington and “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”. While their house was under construction, the Bells were further surprised and congratulated by other DBA families at a DBA luncheon in Schneider’s Hospital on January 31, 2009.
Living with DBA is the hardest, yet most fulfilling, aspect of our lives. Audrey is the absolute love of our lives and we are thankful everyday for her.
Thank you DBAF for being there for us as we continue on this journey.
Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict. – William E. Channing
As parents it is difficult to watch our son go through so much (IVs, pokes, transfusions, ER visits, steriod side effects, tests, ect.), but the resilience and toughness Elton shows each day is what gets us through.
And when the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through or how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. BUT…one thing is certain: When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in!
