April 2009, Los Angeles, California

Life has been interesting in the Gromowski Family....but does that surprise anyone?! A while back when Jenny McCarthy and Stan Kurtz (www.stankurtz.com ) contacted us regarding Jim Carrey speaking about Ian on Larry King Live we had talked about us visiting Generation Rescue in Los Angeles to film Ian's life story. Well, all that talk became reality. Scott and I had to leave our lil' man Vance behind to head off to LA....my heart was breaking every moment but it was for the good of both our boys. We spent two days with Stan, Jenny, and the staff at Generation Rescue (www.generationrescue.org).

You couldn't meet more amazing people if you tried. They made us feel right at home. We spent 4 hours filming Ian's story. It was emotionally and physically draining. I still cry when telling Ian's story, but now there is more peace in my tears. Scott came out of his shell and was talking to Stan like they were long last best friends....which I believe they now are! What are we going to do with the filming? Well, there are a few things in the works and I will keep you posted on what happens.

Stan, the most intelligent man we have ever met, told us we are now part of 'the family' and Scott and I cannot let family down. We are going to do all we can to help Generation Rescue and the children and family they help. We also had the pleasure of meeting Stan's wife, Michelle, and son, Ethan. Ethan was diagnosed with autism 3 times and is now recovered by biomedical treatments and diets. We also met Evan, Jenny's son, and he is also recovered from autism. Both Ethan and Evan are the most amazing and typical children you will ever meet. They were asking Scott about being a fireman and fire engines...do autistic children ask questions like that? Not typically! They ARE recovered and we saw it with our own eyes. I could have hugged them forever. Because of their parent's courage and strength they have beat the odds of autism.

Just as Jenny said to us.....that will not be the last time we work with her or Generation Rescue. We have a lot of work ahead of us!
