Miracle stories...
As an infant, Jonah Wiegel displayed colic-like symptoms, and, though he could hold up his head and roll over relatively early, he was otherwise slow to develop.
When Jonah’s parents, Amy and Gary, noticed Jonah losing skills, they scheduled an appointment with the developmental team at Gundersen Lutheran. The diagnosis was shocking — Canavan disease, a rare, genetic degenerative brain disorder.
Through it all, he’s transformed from a fussy infant into a happy little boy, aided by a caring family and continued support from Children’s Miracle Network®, which provided the Wiegels with meal tickets during Jonah’s hospitalizations, purchased his TumbleForm chair and are helping make possible a wheelchair lift at the family’s home—all things that will make the Wiegel family’s life a little easier, and Jonah’s even happier.
