Product Description
How does a loving and caring mother cope when her child develops a life-threatening illness? In an honest but gut-wrenching way Shawn Williams takes the reader through just such an ordeal from the fateful day when the doctor first mentioned the dreaded words "Aplastic Anemia" until a year later when the story reaches its climax. This account transports one directly to Danielle's hospital room, to the Intensive Care Units and to the Operating Rooms where the various events unfolded. The reader shares the pain which both Danielle and her distraught mother endured, the false hopes of different treatment attempts, the minor triumphs along the way, the "small blessings" that cheered them at times and the despair when, in the final analysis, all of the treatments had the same result. Through the sadness of Danielle's Story shines a message of real hope and confidence for the future. It is an overwhelmingly touching and moving narrative. Reading certain passages will make you cry, others will make you laugh, but all of them will re-affirm your own faith in the Almighty and in the value of prayer for one's own internal well being. ...

Heartfelt and Educational
Our daughter was also diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia so we could really relate to this non-fiction bio.Danielle's mom writes from the heart and we recommend this to anyone afflicted or knows someone diagnosed with any autoimmune disease and/or blood disorder.It's a quick read, educational, and kudos to her mom for being brave enough to share her difficult journey.

Information on many genetic disorders, and the frequent new findings on them, has been extremely difficult to come by—until now. The “Gale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders” addresses the need for current, hard-to-find facts on emerging discoveries. The two-volume Encyclopedia, presented in a single alphabetical sequence, provides clear, complete information on genetic disorders, including conditions, tests, procedures, treatments and therapies, in articles that are both comprehensive and easy to understand, in language accessible to laypersons. The articles are arranged in a standardized format for quick comparison and ease of use, while non-disorder topics are covered in detail with extended entries. Students will want to consult the “Gale Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders” for useful information on a range of well known disorders, including Down Syndrome, Trisomy, Hemophilia and Tourette Syndrome, and rarely seen diseases such as Meckel Syndrome, Neuraminidase Deficiency and Phenylketonuria.
