Description

Analisa is five today. When she was born the doctors diagnosed her with methylmalonic acidemia. A potentially fatal disease. We were also told she would be extremely delayed developmentally if she even survived. Consequently, we felt led to fire the doctors and trust in the Lord. Turns out she was misdiagnosed and never showed the slightest symptoms. She is the most precocious, active, outgoing kid you ever met. :)
