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 challenging and confusing at times but with the DBAF by your side their information and guidance is PRICELESS.
Some days are good, others not so good. Please help find a cure for our family.
It has been seven years since DBA became part of our vocabulary. Our son’s diagnosis brought confusion, apprehension and despair. The discovery of DBAF is a stroke of serendipity. While even more tears were shed, these are now mingled with knowledge, understanding and, more significantly, hope. It will be through research that our son will be able to secure a brighter future.
We are hopeful that a cure will be discovered soon so that our son doesn’t have to endure pokes and disruptions and can feel good all the time – isn’t that what every child deserves?
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.
“In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” ~ Job 12:10
