Wii love you Mielle!

True to form our dearest, sweetest friends are making delicious lemonade not sour faces out of a challenging situation. The very short of it is, Mielle, one of Ella's first friends, her cute little baby buddy, was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) in October 2007. Mielle deserves a cure and her community is trying hard to raise awareness and cash money. Please consider a donation to www.curejm.com. See more information regarding the disease and how to donate on her dedicated blog. Also see this classic video of Mielle playing Wii bowling. The movement is really good for her body and her soul. We love you girl!
