LifeHiscost Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 are only the discovering of God's willingness to give good gifts to His children? From Powell's Books Based on a true 1985 story, Lorenzo's Oil chronicles a couple's search for a cure for their son's fatal disease. After diagnosing 5-year-old Lorenzo Odone's condition as an extremly rare degeneration of the nervous system known as Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), the doctors tell his parents that there is nothing that can be done, and that he has only two years to live. Refusing to accept the word of the medical establishment, the Odones begin researching ALD themselves. As her husband desperately seeks a cure, the boy's mother devotes herself to keeping her child alive with a single-minded fanaticism that alienates everyone around her, including, at times, her husband. Review: "It takes a heartbreaking story and pushes it to the limit, showing us the lengths of courage and imagination that people can summon when they must. The performances, by Susan Sarandon and Nick Nolte, are daring, too." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Praise God from Whom all blessings flow, except when restricted by those who know more than God. Blessings! Quote Lift Jesus up!!
