I Love Movies

the little boy in England reminds me of a movie I watched in middle school. it was called Lorenzo's oil. and based on the real life struggle of Lorenzo odone who was in 1983 was diagnosed with adrenoleukodystrophy. a disease that gradually killed boys than within 2 years of diagnosis. what about Charlie gard's case with this movie is that like Charlie's parents. Lorenzo's parents wouldn't accept that their son would gradually die and there was nothing they could do. also reminds me is this disease also eventually turned the boy into what most thought was a vegetable state though as Lorenzo got better they realize that his thought pathways still worked so he was really locked up in his brain unable to speak or move but he was still there. Lorenzo's parents worked hard and a treatment was developed that has no prevented 1000s of boys with this disease from getting to that stage cause if caught early enough it stops the progression of the disease. It didn't completely reverse the effects on Lorenzo but it did make him increasingly a lot better. and instead of dying within a few years Lorenzo died in 2008 the day before his 30th bday. 23 years longer than the drs told his parents he most likely would survive.
