Summary: That's it!
Review: So many things in your book made me want to shout "THAT'S IT!" The smell of the formula, the loose stools before the enzymes kicked in, the entire shelf in the kitchen filled with her medicines, the astronomical medical bills, the exhaustion, the depression, the frustration. No one understands except the parent of a chronically ill child what it is really like. Your book does a wonderful job of giving others a glimpse of what our lives are like. I plan to get copies for all my sisters to read. Thank you for taking the time to put it together. I plan to keep you all in my prayers.

Summary: I laughed. I cried. I reflected on my own life.
Review: Sometimes it seems so unusual to hear about anyone rejoicing about all that life has to offer, let alone a family with a burden such as cystic fibrosis. I've read it more than once and each time I take away something special... knowing that I have the choice to make the most of every minute my life has to offer. You can't help but love this book and this family and be inspired by them both!

Summary: Uplifiting, Touching, Heartfelt
Review: The book The Spirit of Lo touched me in many ways. First of all, because I know the Detrich's, and they are the most amazing people I have ever met. But it was not only because I knew of them and their struggles that I enjoyed this book. There are not many books out there today that really touch the hearts of people. Tuesdays With Morrie is one of the touching books, and the Spirit of Lo touches the hearts. To go through such amazing struggles and challenges over and over again, and to still keep such a positive attitude about life, love, and family is an amazing feat. Please read this book. It takes you away from the hustle of everyday life, and makes the friendships in your life with family and friends so much more important. This book makes the petty things in life seem not so important anymore, and makes the important things in life clear. I loved this book.

Summary: The Spirit of Lo
Review: The Spirit of Lo is a story of a remarkable family. Mom and dad relate their life experiences about a daughter (now age 16) inflicted with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that counts children's lives in years rather than decades.The book begins in the doctor's office sixteen years ago as the doctor relates the diagnosis for their infant daughter (Lo) that forever will change their lives. The report...Marriages often crumble, family ties become difficult, financial woes are prevalent, hospital stays are expected, daily treatments are overwhelming and on & on. However, their story is not one of despair. Not even close to it. It is a story of hope. That hope can prevail and leads to strength of character in face of all odds that speak otherwise. As the very real story unfolds, you find that the story of hope is not only for their daughter and family, but one of hope for us all. Best of all, you will find inspiration that no matter the travails of life that all families encounter, that life should and can be filled with good.

Summary: Amazing
Review: This book is unbelievable! The family undergoes countless trials and tribulations, yet triumphs each time. Anyone needing a good laugh, a good cry, or someone to put things in perspective for them should read this book. The chapter that Jane writes is very insightful. Talk about putting yourself in someone else's shoes. A great summer read!

Summary: Inspirational Reading
Review: This book provides an inspirational look into the lives of a family who has had every rotten thing in the world thrown at them. Yet, through it all, they have persevered and grown stronger. My eyes were opened (and not very dry) when I read the older sisters' view of a day in the life of a CF patient. I can't imagine any reader coming away from this book dry-eyed or un-inspired.

Summary: Lifesaver
Review: This book was absolutely wonderful for me and my family. My first and only son was diagnosed with CF when he was only 1 week old. He is now 6 months old and is doing wonderful. My husband and I were devastated when he was diagnosed. A friend I work with bought me the book to read. I read it in one day. I laughed and cried throughout the book. I could totally relate to the emotions this family went through. I highly recommend this book to parents or family members of a child with CF. It will reassure you that you aren't alone and that there is still hope for a cure.
