On
August 1, 1983, Laurel Greshel’s world changed forever after a
phone call from her doctor. After receiving word that her unborn baby
had serious health issues, Laurel was overwhelmed. As she and her
husband, Ted, struggled to accept the diagnosis that their daughter,
Amanda, would be born with spina bifida, they had to slowly learn to
say goodbye to “normal” and embrace each of their tiny newborn’s
accomplishments.
Without
any instruction book on how to raise a child with spina bifida,
Laurel and Ted must learn to survive countless medical issues and
several near-death scares with Amanda by leaning on their faith in
God. As Laurel candidly shares experiences—both good and bad—that
she has with doctors, nurses, teachers, family members, and friends,
she offers a heartfelt glimpse into her painful struggles as she
gives entirely of herself to help Amanda grow to her full potential.
With the help of God’s steady hand, Laurel manages to raise two
other daughters, nurture her marriage, and cope with all the ups and
downs of caring for a medically challenged child.
In
this poignant memoir, one mother describes her unforgettable journey
through her daughter’s difficulties, revealing the important
message that God creates all of us just the way He wants us—
perfectly made.
