After I posted this video on YouTUBE and a few other video sites, I started getting emails from a lot of people, asking for more details. It seems that little Raven’s story has touched many people (there were 24,000 hits on the video in one month!) So, here’s the video and a little more detail about Raven’s Story…

My three year granddaughter Raven was diagnosed with “Perthes Disease” a little while back

Perthes Disease is a degenerative disease that affects the bone in joints, particularly the hip. In her last xray’s, the hip bone (the ball and socket) appeared “moth-eaten” due to bone loss

Heart stopping news to be sure.

This was after 9 days in Children’s Hospital in Phoenix being poked and prodded by more than 7 doctor’s, 14 nurses and 3 tech’s. Her Mom had taken her in because a fever become a rash, and the rash wouldn’t go away.

Admitted three times in our little local hospital, they kept sending her home. By the fourth day, she had quit walking. She was screaming in pain when she was moved. She could no longer “walk” to the bathroom, she had to be carried and held upright — screaming the whole time.

Laughter went missing from my house that week.

When Children’s released her, they sent home packet’s of info on Perthes. The doctor’s had made some suggestions and braces on her legs wasn’t the worst of it. They did say that supplements like glucosamine and chrondriotin might help, but to expect her recovery to take months or even years.

God, it is hard to see someone so young in such pain. Nine days in the hospital and the best they could tell us was glucosamine and chondriotin might help, add calcium to her diet and consider putting her in casts or braces to immobilize the hip joints while the bone regrows.

I was a woman on a mission to get these essential supplements into her little body, but do you have any idea how hard it is?

Pills were out.

So I tried adding RUN! capsules to her juice mix and freezing them into popcicles. No dice, popcicles were “gritty”. Added MORE! to yogurt and blended fruit and froze those. Nope, still too gritty for the tastes of a three year old.

Then I tried adding RESTORE! to her juice (as well as MULTI!, but that is another story). After only a few days, she was laughing and playing again. After a little less than a month, she and I race up the stairs (and she wins!).

She has a follow up appointment with the hospital in a few weeks, and I can’t wait to see the new xrays.

Thanks Nussentials for bringing laughter back into her life.
