The Miracle of James

How many times do we witness children and adults with special needs in public who are being cared for by a family member? Often, we are so moved that we donate to charities associated with their medical or mental condition. How often do we think about the lives of their families? William F. Anzalone (Bill)'s story follows his brother, whose injury at birth resulted in hydrocephalus, causing total paralysis and 100% dependence on his family. While living flat on his back, he never had a bedsore, never aspirated and choked to death, and never cried after his baby brother came home from the hospital and laid on his belly. He affected all those who encountered him and held his velvety hand, leaving them with peace, comfort, and hope. His parents had the financial means to do what they wanted and go where they wanted and passed it all up to care for their bedridden son. This book takes readers on a journey inside the lives of a family who dedicated their lives to their son and brother. "The Miracle of James" shares the challenges of caring for a totally dependent child as well as the daily happiness, fun, and laughter.
