Angels in Action

By Yvonne Hamrick, Mom to Joshua age 10

Joshua is an artist.

He LOVES to paint. Our family is so proud of him for pursuing his passions, and we want to share that dream with everyone.

Joshua enjoys painting for others, but mostly for himself. He has been an artist all of his life, and he knew it before anyone else did.

We are so glad that we gave him that first opportunity to paint! Not only are Joshua’s paintings a means of expressing himself, but it’s also a great organizing tool for his body. The squishy paint between his fingers and sometimes his toes.

Joshua often struggles to grasp things, but not so much when he’s using a paint brush or another of his rubbing tools he likes to use.

I would love to get prints if this guys work I am in college doing art and design my theme is angelman

My son, Nathan, was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome shortly after his second birthday. He didn’t walk until he was almost three years old. The prognosis that doctors gave him was grim. He wouldn’t be able to walk, talk, or do much of anything. The doctors said that Nathan would have epilepsy, constipation, feeding issues, acid reflux, and sleep issues. Therefore, he would require lifelong care.

Today, Nathan runs, says “Mama and Papa”! Nathan’s seizures, that started when he was 15 months old, have stopped due to dietary therapy. Also, he has no more acid reflux, no more constipation! His sleep disorder is under control without medication. He sleeps ALL NIGHT! We have beaten the odds of Angelman Syndrome. He is not lucky, his progress was not by chance but because I started him on dietary therapy very early. Monitoring his health very closely has been crucial. Very specific, and in-depth testing, allowed us to dial in his health like a fine tuned race car.

This is the hope and inspiration I want to share with the world! His genes are not his destiny.
