Day 5: Raising Awareness

Kerissa • September 20, 2013

Unfortunately, I’m going to have to postpone Part 3 for now…  Sorry about that, everyone!  Typing a lot for Parts 1 and 2 has really aggravated the CRPS nerve pain.  My right hand has been burning and throbbing a ton lately which makes it painful to do things.

So instead, I just wanted to share a couple articles about two young girls with mito published this week by The Washington Post and CHLA’s blog.

Dr. Richard Boles and his 10-year old patient Kylee at Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles:

Dr. Boles is the medical director of Courtagen, so he will be interpreting my mitochondrial exome sequencing results!  Very excited about that.
