  • My niece has Mitochondrial disease-but her symptoms are completely different. She started having seizures at 5 mos that were uncontrollable-trying to find a reason for those they discovered the disease. She lives with epilepsy as a result and with very low muscle tone-which affects her walking and fine and gross motor skills. God bless your family and gives you strength.

  • My friend Maggie has Mito and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't have my UMDF braclet on.

  • Hi Emily,

    I have watched your video and everytime I cry wondering why such a beautiful girl has to be like this. I will pray to GOD for you.

  • We thought you would like to know Brianna Couture the girl in one of the video's on your site is critically ill in the ICU in Boston MA, her friend started a page on facebook, called Support Brianna Couture. please send your love and support

  • Your daughter is beautiful! I also have a beautiful daughter with Mito. She had symptoms from birth. She is now 8 years old and doing amazingly well. I wish you luck with all of your struggles because as you know it is never ending. God bless you and your family

  • I live in a world, like yours, struggling to keep positive. My entire close family has been stricken with the disease. Each has some symptoms alike, and others much different.

    Medical care is hard to come by, and so I am stuck in limbo. I am a mystery, along with all the others who must deal with this. Doctors often put up their hands, unable to come up with any further clues, or therapies to assist with the immense pains.

    Emily, keep reaching for your dreams!

  • Thank you for sharing, as with others we have been struggling with misdiagnosis' for years and it wasn't until I have two children that are symptomatic that we found its mito. My poor husband is the only one in the family without mito!

  • I hope for the best outcome for this situation

  • Dear Emily,

    I have had a simular dream but was not able to put it into words. You did a beautiful job and are a beautiful girl! I have a complex 1 and have been a patient of Dr. Cohen at the Cleveland Clinic since 1999. Your poem is just perfect, just as you are perfect.! When I watch your video I see a green light over your head when you start to talk about your dream and you remind me of Christmas.

    Thank you Emily for sharing.

    Love and Laughs,

    Suzanne Arends from Nunica, Michigan
