Living with DBA has had its ups and downs, but with all the love and support we have gotten from our family and friends, we have been able to provide our daughter with the best life possible.
Of all the people on earth, the Lord your God has chosen you to be his own special treasure. -Deuteronomy 7:6
Sometimes I feel like the odd one out, restricted by DBA. I just have to keep reminding myself that God wouldn’t bless me with this challenge if He didn’t think I could handle it. I don’t let DBA define me, I try to defy DBA.
This is David at 1 month old weighing almost 2 pounds. DBA changed our paths in life, but I will ALWAYS be there to hold his hand for he holds my heart.
Lily loves everyday she has, especially the ones she’s not in the hospital. Lily is the strongest little girl I know, my hero.
It is the tough things I have gone through with DBA that has made me the man I am.
Thankfully, our sweet girl functions very well with a low blood count. We couldn’t feel more blessed. There is hope!
DBA has forever changed our lives, but we will persevere until we find a cure.
