Family's Touch Painful For 2-Year-Old
« on: April 23, 2009, 05:23:56 PM »
Lord have mercy on this child. :(

Quote
ATLANTA -- A fundraiser will be held Thursday night for a 2-year-old Atlanta girl who has a genetic condition so rare, most doctors have only heard about it.

The condition is so bad for Ellie Tavani that even hugs from her parents cause excruciating pain.

The condition is called epidermolysis bullosa, which causes severe blistering at even the lightest touch, doctors said.

To make things worse, doctors said there is no treatment or cure for Ellie’s condition.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.""
