I doubt my brother and sister-in-law thought they'd face the challenges that they are dealing with today when they took their baby daughter to get an MRI. After over a week at the hospital and visits from more doctors than they can probably count, they finally came back home on Saturday night but it's likely that my niece Leela has Leigh's Disease.
For Leigh's Disease in a nutshell click here.
A little more information can be found on this site.
And an in-depth explanation is available on Wikipedia.
The truth is... it's not likely that Leela's life will extend beyond the age of 3. Eight years of age if she's lucky. Please keep Jed, Kendra, Leela and their family in your thoughts and prayers, folks.
