Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) is a genetic lysosomal storage disease caused by the body's inability to produce specific enzymes. Normally, the body uses enzymes to break down and recycle materials in cells. In individuals with MPS, the missing or insufficient enzyme prevents the proper recycling process, resulting in the storage of materials in virtually every cell of the body. As a result, cells do not perform properly and may cause progressive damage throughout the body, including the heart, bones, joints, respiratory system and central nervous system. While the disease may not be apparent at birth, signs and symptoms develop with age as more cells become damaged by the accumulation of cell materials.
Look out Jonas Brothers…It’s TRIPLE THREAT (okay, so we have a bit too much fun looking through model homes-ha-ha)
look what Trey found amongst his French fries at lunch the other day
To accomplish great things, We must not only act, But also dream; Not only plan, But also BELIEVE.
I love breathing Trey in when I first awaken - he soothes my aching soul in the mornings....I always touch his hands! Daddy
"No matter how deep the pit, God is deeper still."
I don't know about you, but I would much rather grow and gain maturity by watching a video, attending a conference, reading an inspiring book... anything but trials and testing.
But the truth is that real, pure, deep joy is the fruit of tested and patient faith. The ability to rest when the wind picks up around us comes from having already been through a few storms. Joy is not the first word that comes to mind in the midst of trials. But God promises us strength and He promises to help us get through it. He is indeed perfecting our faith and that alone is reason enough to rejoice!
What good would it be if we felt pain each day but never learned from it? And what good would it be if we sailed through life without experiencing the joy that comes after the sorrow?
There can be no growth of character and depth of personality if our lives were perfect. Experience, and everything that comes with that - fear, failure, success, confidence, sorrow, joy - is what builds our heart and deepens our soul. We learn to move beyond our pain and sorrow to grow in areas and directions we would never have imagined.
And we learn to trust God and stand on His word that says, "weeping may last through the night, but joy comes in the morning."
Life is confusing. It can be hard to know which way to go on the pathway of life. Thankfully, God offers us his wise leading and counsel, so we don't need to be anxious.
About Me
- Trey's Treasures
- My name is Trey. I turned 9 years old this past April. I live in Arizona with my Mom, my Dad and two big brothers Drake and Broc. At two years old I was misdiagnosed with a life threatening genetic disorder known as MPS VI. Months of testing and a visit to my new doctor’s in Minnesota brought me to my correct diagnosis of MPS IV-A. While there was no cure nor treatment for MPS IV-A the first three years, I was part of a Clinical Trial for my disorder that recieved FDA Approval on Valentines Day 2014. I flew to and from Oakland, CA every Thursday for almost 3 years to receive a five hour infusion therapy. My prayer is that these trials will help my organs and bones and extend my life expectancy beyond my original diagnosis. Although I endured 43 weekly infusions (essentially for “nothing”), I am so thankful that prays were answered and that my weekly travels helped to bring FDA approval of the enzyme replacement therapy of disorder...hoping this will vastly benefit my little body.

WHAT IS MPS IVA?
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA, also known as Morquio A Syndrome) is a disorder characterized by deficient activity of N-acetylgalactosamine 6-sulfatase (GALNS) causing excessive lysosomal storage of keratan sulfate (KS). This excessive storage causes a systemic skeletal dysplasia, short stature, and joint abnormalities, which limit mobility and endurance. Malformation of the thorax as well as macrophage dysfunction in the lung likely impairs respiratory function and contributes to sinopulmonary infections. Odontoid dysplasia and ligamentous laxity can commonly cause cervical spinal instability and potentially spinal cord compression. Other symptoms may include recurrent infections, hearing loss, corneal clouding, and heart valvular disease. Initial symptoms often become evident in the first five years of life. Depending on severity of the disorder, age of diagnosis will vary. Many patients become wheelchair dependent in their second decade of life and undergo numerous surgeries to alleviate life-threatening conditions caused by the underlying enzyme deficiency.
The incidence estimates for MPS IVA vary widely, between one in 200,000 live births to one in 300,000 live births. Approximately 400 patients worldwide have been identified and tracked through the International Morquio Organization (IMO) survey. There are already more MPS IVA patients identified through this registry than there are MPS VI patients being treated with Naglazyme worldwide. Based on the number of identified patients to date, the prevalence of patients with MPS IVA appears similar to that with MPS I.

Quotes that INSPIRE
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain."
“The Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you”
When God leads you to the edge of the cliff, trust Him fully and let go, only 1 of 2 things will happen, either He'll catch you when you fall, or He'll teach you how to fly!
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance!
May your Troubles be less, Your blessings be more, And Nothing but Happiness come through your door.
Our suffering can make us more sensitive servants of God. People who have known pain are able to reach out with compassion to others who hurt. If you have suffered, ask God how your experience can be used to help others.
Beautiful One,
Just Believe...
Waiting may be the single hardest thing we have to do. In the Bible, waiting is closely associated with faith. Sometimes the words are used interchangeably. While we may not like it, waiting is a necessary part of the Christian life. What God does in us while we wait is as important as what it is we are waiting for. Waiting is not easy. It may bring pain. It will try us and test us. It demands patience. It exacts a price…
When our eyes are on the sunshine, the rain doesn't seem so bad. When our eyes are on the rain, even the smallest drop seems like a storm.

THE POWER OF PRAYER. I believe that God only gives three answers to prayer:
1. "Yes!"
2. "Not yet."
3. "I have something better in mind."
God still sits on the throne.You may be going through a tough time right now but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that you cannot imagine.
Life is too short to wake up with regrets.. So love
the people who treat you right.. Forget about the
ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you
get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
Still wondering why I’m here

Still wondering why I’m here
Still wrestling with my fear
But, Oh, He’s up to something
And farther out I go
I’ve seen enough to know
That I’m not here for nothing…He’s up to something
My wish for you
Where there is pain,
I wish you peace and mercy.
Where there is self doubting,
I wish you a renewed confidence in your ability to work through it.
Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion,
I wish you understanding, patience and renewed strength.
Where there is fear,
I wish you love and courage.
peace.
it does not mean to be in a place
where there is no noise, trouble,
or hard work. It means to be in
the midst of those things and still
be calm in your heart.
WITH THIS PAIN
I don’t see the reason or rhyme
for this mountain I must climb.
Father, I don’t understand,
so I’ll lay it in your hand.
So with this pain I am feeling now,
to your wisdom I will bow.
And accept you know what’s best,
so in your peace I can rest.
For the Word has made it clear,
how we’ll always find you near.
So all I ever need to know
is that with me you will go.
The Ultimate Quote of the Day
"Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of %$*&^."
AMEN!
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY
O Sovereign LORD! You have made the heavens and earth by your great power. Nothing is too hard for you! Jeremiah 32:17
When is the last time you prayed for something "impossible"? We don't need to test God, but he does want us to have great hope in his ability to work miracles. So pray big today.
"No matter how deep the pit, God is deeper still."
Rejoice?? Are you kidding??
I don't know about you, but I would much rather grow and gain maturity by watching a video, attending a conference, reading an inspiring book... anything but trials and testing.
But the truth is that real, pure, deep joy is the fruit of tested and patient faith. The ability to rest when the wind picks up around us comes from having already been through a few storms. Joy is not the first word that comes to mind in the midst of trials. But God promises us strength and He promises to help us get through it. He is indeed perfecting our faith and that alone is reason enough to rejoice!
Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD. Psalm 27:14
Sometimes our fears creep in because it seems like God is taking too long to answer us. Is he out there? Hold on--he will answer you, so you must trust him while you wait.
Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world. John 16:33
God doesn't promise to protect us from problems on this earth. Instead he promises to give us the courage to face our problems with his strength.
If it were easy I would never depend on the Lord.
When darkness overtakes the godly, light will come bursting in. They are generous, compassionate, and righteous. Psalm 112:4
When you belong to God, there is no need to be afraid of dark times that may sweep over you. For God is our sun, our light to guide us through to the end.It's amazing how the good things of today become when you are unsure of the things of tomorrow.
What good would it be if we felt pain each day but never learned from it? And what good would it be if we sailed through life without experiencing the joy that comes after the sorrow?
There can be no growth of character and depth of personality if our lives were perfect. Experience, and everything that comes with that - fear, failure, success, confidence, sorrow, joy - is what builds our heart and deepens our soul.

Because I was small and weak
Jesus stooped down to me
and in secret taught me
the marvels of His love.
