Married to Bill Guthy self-made principal of infomercial marketing giant Guthy-Renker Victorias most treasured role is mother to three beautiful, beloved children, Evan, Ali, and Jackson. Suddenly, Victorias dream life is broken as she begins to battle a mothers greatest fear. In 2008, her daughter, Ali, began experiencing unusual symptoms of blurred vision and an ache in her eye. Ali's test results led to the diagnosis of Neuromyelitis Optica. NMO is a little understood, incurable, and often fatal autoimmune disease that can cause blindness, paralysis, and life-threatening seizures, and afflicts as few as 20,000 people in the world. At the age of 14, Ali was given a terrifying prognosis of four to six years to live. Saving Each Other begins just as Victoria and Bill learn of Alis disease, starting them on a powerful journey to save their only daughter. They even brought together a team of more than 50 of the worlds leading experts in autoimmune and NMO-related diseases to create the Guthy-Jackson Charitable Foundation. Told in alternating viewpoints, Victoria and Ali narrate their very different journeys of coming to terms with the lack of control that neither mother nor daughter have over NMO, and their pioneering efforts and courage to take their fight to a global level. Bringing their story to light with raw emotion, humor, warmth, and refreshing candor, Saving Each Other is the extraordinary journey of a mother and daughter who demonstrate how the power of love can transcend our greatest fears, while at the same time battling to find a cure for the incurable. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Guthy, Ali. 650 0 Autoimmune diseases. 650 0 Mothers and daughters. 700 1 Guthy, Ali. 700 1 Troop, Amanda. 700 1 Tritel, Lori. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11030173?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ oas_9781621881452_180.jpeg
