Heaven Sent and Bent: Lana Weimer

What if you discovered that every time you and your true love made a baby, that baby would have a 25% chance of having a terminal illness? If you were told that if the child even lived very long, you would watch their bodies deteriorate and you would bury them for certain. Would you be brave enough to carry a child with this prognosis? My guest today was brave enough, is brave enough. She does not care if her children are not perfect. She does not care if her days are spent serving her children. Lana Weimer is a walking-talking example of unconditional love. Lana wears the title of Mother with pride and can think of nothing else she would rather be called. To learn more about the Weimer family and to see how they, in spite of what they are dealing with, are giving back to the community.
