Cousin Isabela's essay and pictures of Analise




Our 8 year old granddaughter, Isabela wanted to enter a PTA photo/essay contest at school and wrote the following essay about her cousin Analise and also took these pictures, which she titled "Bubbly Moments". Even if she doesn't win this contest, she has won our hearts!!

"When I think of the theme "The Magic of a Moment" I think of my cousin Analise. Analise was born with a rare condition Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita. This condition causes her to have smaller muscles in her arms and problems with her legs. Although she is only one she's had so many surgeries and has gone through so much. Since she has trouble moving she is learning to find ways through her challenges. She uses her shoulder muscles to move her arms. She spins and scoots since she can't crawl or walk. Through all the struggles she faces I realize there'S ALWAYS magic in every moment."
(sorry the picture is a little blurry, it is a picture of the picture)
