- Reese
- was born with a rare genetic Metabolic Disorder called Glutaric Acidemia Type I (GA-1). It is 1 in 50,000. Despite her condition and the challenges that have come with it, she is the happiest little girl in the world. She loves music, being outside, make up, tea parties and of course, her dog, Georgia. Reese has low tone, dystonia, and physical motor and speech delays. She is struggling to figure out her 'wheels' as her daddy says. She started crawling when she was 21 months old (more like a bunny hop). We are working on helping her to be able to stand and walk. She also has difficulty using her hands. She has started communicating incredibly well - though quiet and someone slurred. Despite her challenges, she gets everything that she wants and needs to done. She is a daily inspiration to us all to keep on trying even when things are hard, as she never gives up. She is extremely motivated and determined to no end. We will all learn from her incredible strength and graceful courage.Thanks to all friends and family for all of your support! We love you!
