Our 11 year old daughter Chelsea is afflicted with Rett Syndrome. This video is a slide show of her life so far, dovetailing into Monica's new organization, Rett Syndrome Research Trust, with a very singular goal: finding a cure. More information at www.rsrt.org

  • My daughter, Kelly had Rett Syndrome. Her story parallels Chelsea's. The love & pain you feel at the same time is so huge. Kelly was so beautiful just like your Chelsea. They are angels. Kelly passed away 9/14/09 at 16, in my arms as one large tear rolled down her cheek. An old flower pot in my yard that I have not touched in a year has continuously bloomed one purple petunia (her color) since her passing. She is still sending us her love. God bless you and your family, Beth

  • Thank you for sharing your story, Beth, and God bless you. Your account of her final tear caused quite a few to flow on our end.

  • hi I would really like to know what song is that I love it

  • First of all, thank all of you for your kind words and support. With RSRF we are on a mission to find a cure and we are hopeful that we will show you a very different video of Chelsea one day!

    The artist is Alison Kraus, btw.

  • Very touching story...My sister Shana just 29 and also has Rett syndrome. It is definately a diffcult journey considering the fact that they cant talk to say whats going on. Stay strong and just know that you love her and you will get through it. Although my sister is very dependant on our family we dont mind doing the tasks like feeding showering, changing her diaper etc because I believe that just shows her how her family is there and how much we care for her :) good luck

  • she is very beautiful and lucky to have all the confort and equipment that helps her. my girl has 2,4 years and also has Rett. here in Romania are a few girls with Rett, and at Tv never heard about this syndrome. be strong, and film her very much... because i have videos with my girl doing things that now she cannot do. happy hollydais

  • HOLA SOY SANDRA TORRES DE COLOMBIA Y TAMBIÉN TENGO MI HIJA MELISSA DE 15 AÑOS EN ESTE MOMENTO CON SÍNDROME DE RETT, ELLA TIENE GRACIAS A LOS CUIDADOS DE TODOS EN CASA, UNA EXCELENTE CALIDAD DE VIDA Y LO MEJOR DE TODO MUCHO AMOR...ES LO QUE MÁS NECESITAN ESTAS HERMOSAS NIÑAS, ESTOS ÁNGELES QUE DIOS NOS ENVIÓ A CADA UNO DE NOSOTROS.

    LES ENVÍO MI AMOR FRATERNO A TODOS DESDE MEDELLÍN COLOMBIA

  • She is lovely, and you are lucky to have all those equipment, here where i live people cant afford things like that and have to go to hospitals where the waiting list is so long you have to wait 6 months at least to have rehab.
