My husband and I met you and the girls last week at Dr. Lamerson’s office. I had seen information at Starbucks on the Addi and Cassi fundrasiser earlier this year, but didn’t put the two together until we were talking with Gail once we were in the room. We were so taken with your girls and how social they were in the office, then I came home for find out more about them. Bless you! These girls are so lucky to have parents who are working so hard for them - I have had a lot of health problems since i was young, although nothing compares to what you are going through with the girls. I do know how important a wonderful family is, and I am happy to see your parents are helping as well. (i met your Mom at the office.) I look forward to watching the blog and receiving updates. Seeing the girls and putting the puzzle together (we are new to Reno) makes it seem more real. Take care of yourselves too. You should be commended! Tracy Miller

If the girls are not on Juice Plus+, You will not regret looking into the 15 years of clinical research published in numerous medical journals. Your story has touched me deeply. Your family and all families dealing with similar illnesses are in my thoughts.
Warmest wishes, Mom of 4
