Miss Rhae is finally here and doing great! We're going to use this site to share the experience with everyone, especially
her MiMi out in Texas. I don't have a lot of spare time these days, but I hope I will keep the site as updated as possible.
For those of you who do not know, Rhae has osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). It is a very rare disease that affects
the collagen production, therefore making the bones very brittle and easy to fracture. It is also referred to as brittle
bone disease. It is estimated that 1 out of every 400,000 to 600,000 births result in OI, and there are approximately
only 20,000 to 50,000 people affected by this disease in the US! I have yet to figure out why we were given
such a beautiful gift from God, but I'm sure glad we were chosen!
