STEPHANIE'S UPDATE

Stephanie's Update

After Autumn's birth and years of uncertainty regarding her health, I feel blessed to be back to an almost normal, productive routine of carpools, family life, and work.

As Autumn and I struggled to make it through the first five years of her fragile life, we learned how to fight, how to live, how to hope, how to pray, and above all, how to cherish each and every moment. Years of post-traumatic stress syndrome, constant panic, and despair have been replaced by growth, depth, inner strength, and awareness that we are making it safely to the other side.

Breastfeeding has been the single most important gift that I have been able to give Autumn. It has brought us through the storm, intact. Breastfeeding allowed me to provide nutrition, antibodies, and protection during both good and bad times. Autumn has always known nursing is the "safe haven" where she can rest from medical intervention and relax in the comfort and security of mommy's warmth.

Happily, Autumn's Story has been highly acclaimed and seen by millions of viewers on Discovery Health Channel in the U.S. and goes on to world distribution - December 2004. Autumn's Story is now available for home sales. Please visit www.autumnsstory.com for more information.

I am currently writing/directing/producing Mother of 7 - Breastfeeding and Birth DVD/VHS/Guidebooks. The first four volumes, Breastfeeding Technique (20 min), Breastfeeding Basics (40 min), Breastfeeding Comprehensive (135 min) and Breastfeeding: The Ultimate Guide (150 min.) will be available nationwide October 2005. For more information about Mother of 7, Inc. products, visit www.motherof7.com and www.breastfeedingvideo.com . Additional volumes will follow.

Another work in progress is Fairies in the Forest, a film and series of children's books about a family fairytale adventure, which takes place in the ancient redwood forest.

I wish to thank everyone who has touched our life with medical expertise, kindness, and compassion. The sun is now shining again.

With much appreciation,

Stephanie Scholz Neurohr
