Response to Angelman Syndrome

I have just read a blog about a genetic disease called Angelman Syndrome. It is a hereditary disease and is fatal. Symptoms include seizures, hyperactivity, hand flapping, sleep disorders, and movement and balance disorders. This disease inffects infants but science has been able to find ways to help the patient cope with their symptoms. It's truly amazing that patients with Angelman Syndrome are still able to live a long life. It gets extremely hard for them to cope sometimes but they still live their life to the fullest and that is very inspring. We can all learn a lesson about vauling our life and to be happy that we are lucky enough to live a normal life without those hardships.
