A propos de cet article

122 Pages. Blue cloth boards with gold lettering to spine. Signed and inscribed by the author. The pediatric specialist confirmed their worst fears: the Arrigonis' baby daughter Arlene had suffered irreversible eye, liver, and brain damage as a result of an undiagnosed birth defect. When Rena and Al Arrigoni left the doctor's office that April morning in 1957, they knew for the first time why Arlene had needed to be hospitalized so many times during her first six months. But what they could only begin to understand was how they were going to care for her. Arlene's physicians predicted she would survive just eight years; she lived to be twenty-two. This book is the story of parenting a child with disabilities. For eleven years the Arrigonis raised Arlene at home, seeing her through countless medical emergencies and coming to appreciate her tenacious will to live. In 1967, following six years of planning with community leaders, innumerable volunteers, and the Canossian Daughters of Charity, the Arrigonis created Casa Angelica, New Mexico's first privately operated home for youngsters with severe disabilities. Its programs help youngsters reach their highest level of independence and self-reliance, and Casa Angelica developed nationally recognized educational initiatives that opened up schools to children long stereotyped as unteachable. Rena Arrigoni is a life-long resident of Albuquerque. Illustrated with black and white photographs. Contents in 17 chapters: The Birth of an Angel, A Time of Hope, An Angel Never Cries, Birth in the Morning Light, Non Devi Mai Perdere la Speranza, Dreaming Then Doing, A Letter from Rome, Financing the First Alfalfa Field, Ground Breaking on Fertile Soil, Letting Go, Visiting My Angel, From Milan to the South Valley, The Story of a Lost Child, Even Angels Go to School, I Can't Smile Without You, Ring Those Bells, and Epilogue.…
