Lauren's words of "there's gonna be a time where I'm going to need to be scared, and now's not the time" are actually so deep and profound. She has such a good point and I think I'll use that mantra in my day to day life

Levi is so articulate and is able to explain his condition so well, he’s a wonderful kid and his mom is so sweet and compassionate

I was born without hip joints called bilateral hip dysplasia. When I walked, my hips swayed side to side which was really noticeable. Had many struggles and overcame so much. At the age of 32 I could not take the pain anymore and finally had hip reconstruction surgery. When I got married my friends and family saw me walk ‘straight’ down the aisle for the first time. It was a very happy day!!

I’m very impressed with Lauren. She’s obviously extremely intelligent. I also have a rare disease, and have lived 11 years longer than my life expectancy, so far. And as a nurse of 32 years, myself, I’m thrilled that Lauren plans to be a nurse.

Zion, your Mom emits 100% calm, sweet, and perfect. You have blossomed into an amazing young man. So happy for both of you.

The mother that adopted Zion is amazing. She clearly loves him and is proud. Gd bless special people like that

Zions mom is an angel on earth. I absolutely love her and love that he has her ❤️ she looks like she could lift anyone’s spirit

The way Isla began to look sad and lay her head on her mom’s shoulder when she saw her crying was just the sweetest thing. The compassion, empathy and love that sweet girl has for her mother is just beautiful.

Levi has a special gift. Someday he will be lecturing the medical community regarding his condition. He is brilliant already.

These people face two battles. One being the illness itself and the other living in a world where so few people understand what they’re up against. ❤️🙏

My mom had a very rare condition that caused her white counts to drop very low and if she got an infection at that time she could have died. I almost lost her when I turned 12 years old. When she was 53 she was diagnosed with breast cancer and unbeknownst to us the chemotherapy that she received to treat this cancer was also a treatment for her condition and she hasn’t had any issues with it for over 25 years.

Levi has absolutely stolen me heart. He’s so sweet yet goes through so much he’s an incredible little boy. ❤

Lauren is one tough cookie! She lives her life the way each and every one of us should be doing! She takes each day as it comes, prays for another day gone well and for tomorrow to be the same. She is smart as a whip and could have a career in about anything she chooses, I have no doubt! She knows where she’s been and where she is going…I definitely give this young lady kudus and two thumbs up! I know your mom is so proud 😊

I love how Carlie says ‘We’. ‘We have amazing doctors.’ ‘We have a solid plan.’ It’s obvious that her friends and family have wrapped her in a great support system, and she doesn’t feel she has to face things alone. Love it ❤

Awwww Zion and his mom is such a great story. I wish they would have met sooner, you can tell she has the best spirit…. GOD bless you and your family

Lauren is an absolutely incredible young woman!!!! I hope she lives a very long happy life with her sweet pup!!!!! And i HATE how expensive it is to get medication to keep us alive!!!!

I have Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension like Lauren and like Lauren also carry an IV pump with Remodulin in it. I was diagnosed in 2016 and my pressures were very high at the time. They diagnosed and admitted me to the ICU the same day within hours of my right heart catheterization. My main issue now is the peripheral neuropathy caused by my use of Remodulin. My legs hurt me constantly and it’s difficult to stand for more than 15 minutes or so. I need to use my electric scooter or a wheelchair for longer distances. I take narcotics to dull the pain as well. I’m happy to see that Lauren lives a fairly normal life despite the pump. She’s a brave young lady!

All the people in this video are beautiful!! The families are so supportive.

Kids w rare conditions and/or disabilities stand out so much & are usually more intelligent than others their age for some reason 😊 Zion’s mom is a beautiful ray of bright & radiant sunshine! Adopt meeee ✋🏽❤
