Annette Hines was a young mom in her twenties when she got pregnant with Elizabeth. At five months Annette was put on bed rest until her first daughter, Elizabeth was born at twenty-nine weeks weighing in at two pounds. After nine weeks in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Elizabeth was able to go home. As she grew, Elizabeth started to have seizures. It was difficult for Annette to find a team of doctors that would believe her description of the seizures Elizabeth was having. Once Annette found a supportive medical specialist, at age two and a half, Elizabeth was diagnosed with Mitochondrial Disease along with other health issues. This begins Annette's story as a caregiver, mom, advocate, attorney, and the author of Butterflies and Second Chances: A Mom's Memoir of Love and Loss.
