Just wanted to let everyone know that the link that Kate posted in the "Another Family" post the 5yr old passed away on March 20th. I think they are still waiting on the test for the 3yr old who has a rare symptom and the 1yr old is symptom free according to the web site. The mothers name is Dasa Gain. She has a facebook page if anyone would like to message her and if you want to add her Kate (if you haven't already :))
So sad to hear this.... just saw this myself. Here's a link the little girls mom Dasa posted where you can go and send a letter to Washington to get a bill passed to get more research done on mitochondrial disease like Alper's and others. It does not take long to fill the form out. here's the link:
