Cuqui – ohio – 09/08/10 6:05 PM Hi Juliana, Just wanted to say hello again and let you know I was thinking about you and your family. You are on my mind alot and give me inspiration and help me to appreciate life and the God who created us! I hope all is going well for you! Take care and thanks again for sharing your story and also thanks to Nurse Jeanne for all she's done. May God bless you all!!! : ) Cya... til next time... Love, Cuqui Aska – Tokyo, Japan – 09/07/10 11:52 AM Ms. Juliana and Family, you gave me so much strength and hope. I will be visiting once in a while to give and receive the love that you all send out every second of your lives. It is an honor to have reached your site. Thank you. Timmy Tan – philippines – 09/07/10 10:42 AM i am an 18 year old boy that is still in school... when i saw this little girl's video, i was ashamed of myself to think that i go through the most extreme struggles in life....
JULIANA, you are a true hero...
you've endured so much and yet you still carry on...
God Bless your wonderful heart! Dominique Beeker – saginaw – 09/06/10 8:26 PM I found out about your daughter on youtube. The second I seen her, I wanted to know more about her. She is truly a girl, a miracle from God. Don't let anyone tell you differently. She is so special and I can see it when I look at her. God bless her. Cuqui – ohio – 09/06/10 5:51 AM Hi Juliana, Just want to say I love you sweetheart. You have captured my heart and made it happy after I was having a hard day. Thank you for being the beautiful sweet girl that God wants you to be! I'm so happy I saw you on youtube! Hope to see more of you! Hi to your beautiful family too : ) You and your family are in my prayers and I hope I'll be in yours : ) Love you sweetie!!! Take care!!! Nick – Sydney Australia – 09/06/10 5:16 AM The Lord led me to learn about Juliana and her family's amazing story. I am greatly blessed to witness such love and hope. Some may wonder "Why God?", but I look to a loving Saviour who saw we needed help and did what had to be done. Christ gave His life to save us from sin and death so that we may live through Him. A fallen world marred by sin, but soon His sheep will reign with Him. Juliana please be encouraged, trust Jesus because He will vindicate His saints and make all things new. Lord bless and keep you always.
2 Corinthians 4:17
For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison

I've heard today the first time about your story. My first thought was "Wow, unbelievable." But now I'm thinking: "What a wonderful girl."
Well, you are different but I think everyone is of his/her own way different, nobody is identical with an other person, like the fingerprints. I hope you understand or know what I exactly mean. Yeah, I know my english isn't the best, but I'm giving my best. ;)
I admire your strength. Of course I admire your mom and your nurse, too. I think it isn't as easy as it sounds first.
And Yeah, you've just got a new fan. ;)
Best wishes from Germany.

Love, your friend Randy. Jan O\\\'Mailia – Whitehouse, OH – 08/17/10 6:37 PM Your story, your TV appearances, the comments from your mom,your nurse, and love sent from strangers, inspire me beyond words. I think you chose your family wisely when you decided to come to Earth from your Heavenly home...... I wanted your family to know of another place that you can get a song written just for YOU! I tried to request one for you today, but the request must come from a family member. It is called "Songs of Love." The contact person's name is Elena. I have a friend named Kerry Clark who writes music for them—-perhaps you could request HIM! He sings folk style music if you like that kind. They find out a little bit about you, and write a song specific to what YOU enjoy!! You can visit their website and hear samples. I will continue to follow your webpage. I am a nurse, and one of my favorite patients was a little girl with Treacher Collins Syndrome. I was there for her birth. She is an adult now and has also had many operations—-she is also beautiful as you are....This is getting long—-sorry. I send you and your family,prayers, blessings, and love. Have a wonderful school year—our school locally starts the day after tomorrow. Thanks to whomever is maintaining your website—it was nice to see how well you are doing! Most sincerely, a friend of the heart, Jan O'Mailia Jenn – Shelton, CT – 08/17/10 1:25 PM You are one of God's beautiful children and such an inpiration to the world.

I hope you and your family are having a great summer.

You and your awesome family touch MANY hearts through watching your life story. How wonderful you are all willing to share with us.

Thank you to you and your whole family for teaching us so many lessons. We will be watching for updates and send love & prayers your way.

Karen – Hudson, MA – 07/30/10 10:51 PM Hi Juliana and Family: I've been following you on TV for a long time. Now I've found your website, which is just beautiful. I've now seen your June 2010 photo, and I cannot get over how much you've grown up. And... how absolutely beautiful you continue to look! So happy to be here with you tonight. Sending you lots of love, happiest, and good wishes. I hope all of your dreams come true! Much love and xoxo, Karen Alan Darbe – Michigan – 07/30/10 1:35 PM It has been awhile since I checked in. It is great to see you getting better and better.
Your strength and perseverance mean so much to those of us who have watched you over the years.
Love and kisses

Kim – Fall River, MA – 07/30/10 11:43 AM Hey Kiddo!! I was just stoppin by to check out what mischief you have been getting into this summer. I see you got a haircut, very pretty!!
Hearing about how you are doing always puts a smile on my face.
Stay beautiful!
Kim Clara Meade – Columbus Ohio – 07/29/10 11:56 AM Hi, my name is Clara I am 15 years old and I can across Juliana's story from a song done up for her on youtube. It was the song more beautiful you by Jonny Diaz. As I was watching it I had come to realize that everyone really is beautiful. As I looked at Juliana I just had to smile. You can tell she lives life to her fullest. God has done a great thing bringing her into this world. I know she has touched my life forever, after reading her story something just moved in me. God is working through her in so many ways. She has a way of opening the eyes of whoever hears her story. I am one of nine kids and I have already showed two of my sisters her story, both in witch where touched. Thank you for sharing your story with us. As Juliana grows I know she will change the world one step at a time. Juliana is a BEAUTIFUL angle from God. My prayers will forever be with your family. thanks you.
-Clara Meade Kristina – Ottawa Canada – 07/27/10 11:36 AM Hello Juliana and family. I came across your site as I was reading of the spanish man Oscar and his predicament. Anyhow, the purpose of this little note is just to introduce myself and to wish you and your loving family all the best that life has to offer. It must be hard sometimes having to go through all the procedures and operations you've had to go through, and yet, you still dance around and live life to the fullest. Truly an inspiration and a joy to behold. Anyone that would dare make you feel bad about your situation obviously has not found peace yet within their own lives and should be pitied. I'm sure someone with as much love around you as you have would find that easy to do. Oh, and you look like a little princess in the pics your mom has lovingly put up on this site. God Bless you all! Barbara Kane – Texas – 07/27/10 9:31 AM I was checking in to see the new pics. She looks great1 One of my son's was born with craniofacial abnormalities and has some jaw distracions as well.
I know that Juliana's a very bright young lady, but communication is a bit of a challenge, same as with my son. He has a few words, and signs and gestures. I was wondering if Juliana had ever experimented with a communication device, like a dynavox? My son has one and it is great because it allows him to communicate with other people, including strangers, without Mom having to translate for him. It has really helped his independence! Good luck to you all! William Wages – Chipley Florida – 07/27/10 12:05 AM Hello,
I was listening to "More Beautiful You" on youtube and saw the video about you and wanted to say hello and to say to you, be brave in all you do because God has all things in his control and he will take care of anything that happens. Be blessed lexy – Bristol, Tennessee – 07/26/10 10:45 PM Hello Juliana, i just want you to know you are an amazing girl. Your story has inspired me. You seem to be one of the strongest women out there, and i have total respect for you in that. You will do great in whatever you do, and don't EVER let anyone get you down with harsh words or actions. You're beautiful, no matter what anyone says. You and you're family are in my prayers. May God Bless You All. I'd love to keep in touch! I love hearing how you are doing. Good luck sweetie, in your life. You're going to do great! :) Katie – 07/26/10 5:34 AM Hello again! I've been patiently waiting for a new update, but haven't found one yet :) I hope that means that you are having a wonderful summer full of exciting activities! Juliana, you must be anxious to start another school year! It is wonderful that you love school so much. I imagine you have a lot of friends and will make many more this year as well.
One thing I want to comment on, I noticed in the pictures posted on your website, your hair has gotten VERY long, and is soooo beautiful!!! You are a princess! Enjoy the rest of your summer! Kelly Clark – Idyllwild, CA – 07/26/10 2:23 AM I think your the most amazing girl ever Juliana. Dream big and I hope all of them come true....
xoxo

Quelle leçon de courage!!!!!
Je suis émerveillée par votre petite Juliana, pleine de vie, courageuse, battante, et apparemment aimée des siens. Je continuerai de regarder grandir votre petite fille depuis mon écran en France. Je vous souhaite de continuer à vous montrer courageux et aimant comme vous nous le montrer sur votre site.
Amicalement
Aurélie Jordan Denson – Albany, Georgia – 07/20/10 10:42 PM Hey there. I'm Jordan. I'm only thirteen and I was touched by your story. I was on youtube listening to "A more beautiful you" by Johnny Diaz and I saw a video about you, so I decided to watch it. As I watched it I couldn't help but to cry. Juliana, your story is amazing, wait, let me rephrase that. YOU are amazing. As I was looking at your pictures I thought to myself, "I wish I had a best friend like her." I hope to hear more about you, and hopefully hear from you. Maybe we can dance together one day, since I do ballet as well. :)
Much love,
Jordan Pedro and Sandra – Brasil – 07/20/10 9:22 PM Hi Juliana, how are you?
Here, in Brazil, today celebrated the Day of the Friend.
So we wish you a:
"Happy day friend" ( Feliz Dia do Amigo)
Kisses,

bye bye Lori King – Amsterdam New York – 07/19/10 11:21 PM Dear Juliana,
Your strength, courage and happiness are a gift to our world—you inspire me to be a better person—thank you. Beauty such as yours is the most precious kind. I love your story and I love you, sweetheart
You seem very happy—always stay that way!
A friend,
Lori Kim Young – Palm Beach, FL – 07/19/10 12:44 PM What a strong youg lady and what wonderful family strength you all have. Juliana has come such a long way and still stays chipper. :) I wanted to ask if Juliana got her hair cut as planned? Pedro and Sandra – RJ, Brasil – 07/19/10 12:34 AM Hi Juliana and family!
We read your story and we were very moved.
You and your family are an example of faith and determination.
For their photographs noticed that you're a child happy and blessed by God.
May you stay well, courageous, determined and with faith.
We are praying for you guys.
Love, Peter and Sandra.
PS: sorry for bad english Adriane Flowers – Shawnee, Oklahoma – 07/18/10 11:15 PM My favorite emotion is laughter through tears and I've experienced a lot of it this evening. Baby girl, you are truly an inspiration and your story has honestly brightened a spot in my life that has been rather dim for a while now. I can't help but feel that I was led to this place at this time by a hand more powerful than my own. 'Thank you' cannot cover the gratitude I have for you and your amazing family. Stay strong and always remember that beauty is something that has to be felt in order to be seen, and you are absolutely beautiful to me.
With much love,
Addie Paul – Texas – 07/17/10 2:49 AM Hi Juliana:
I hope you are doing well this summer. You are a very brave little girl and you make me smile because its obvious you are a very special girl who is loved by many people. And I can see you like to have fun with your family and friends!
Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Questions about Texas?
Airplanes? (I am a pilot) Horses? (we have horses, too!)
You are growing up fast! I am so proud of you.
Paul & Kelly McCracken
(Kelly is my wife) Mari – Toronto, Canada – 07/16/10 8:59 PM Hi,
I can't begin to express how touched I am by your family's strength.
I have always, firmly believed abortion was the way to go under extenuating circumstances (ex. unable to care for the child, or if the child's quality of life would be heavily affected, as in Juliana's case)—and I still hold firm to my beliefs. However, after reading about Juliana, I've now realised that every life is important, and even a person with disabilities can live a life just as fulfilling as any other, if not more.
You have shown that responsible, and caring parents -do- exist, and that pro-life is not a bad choice. Admittedly, I think that Juliana will have many more mountainous quests to overcome in the future, but if she has parents such as yourselves to help her every step of the way—I just know she can make it.
Please keep your faith in Juliana, and I wish your family all the best.
-Mari Candice – Edmonton, Alberta CANADA – 07/16/10 6:30 PM Hi Julianna and family,
I first met you while watching either Discovery or TLC (I do not remember). I too have TCS, though mild compared to yours. In literature, I would be considered 'moderate'. Many members of my family have TC. I am amazed by your spirit! We may look different, but we can tackle the world! I am heading back to school this fall for Nursing, and am very excited! I am 28, and currently have a diploma in Agriculture and spent several years working with people with disabilities. I've always participated in various clubs and volunteer orgranizations. I too, had many surgeries, but again, all mild in comparison to yours. It's never easy, but with God's help, and our determination, we always make it through. Keep smiling Julianna, you are a beautiful young girl. To Juilianna's parents, I admire your strength, determination and courage. Without parents like yourselves, and my mom, it would be a tougher world for us. Take care and have a wonderful summer! pammie – ayr – 07/16/10 5:21 PM hi me again, im not great with words or english. just wanted to say still thinking of you julianna. just got told my heart is deteriorating again, 5th open heart surgery might be coming up, but i still smile, you are the op girl, wish i was as brave as u xxx my wee dog leo says hello hes special too xx Tina Woodlief – Canton Ga – 07/15/10 4:56 PM Hello Wetmore Family,
I just found out about Juliana's story. I just wanted to say that you guys are awesome!! You are what parents are supposed to be. My youngest daughter Emily was born with Dilated Cardiomyopathy. She underwent a Heart Transplant in December of 2002. I can't imagine life without her. I know it's very diffrent from Juliana's medical condition but unless your a parent you just can't grasp how our children make us wake up everyday. They are why we live. From what I have seen so far you guys are phenomenal. Just every now and then give yourself a pat on the back. You deserve it!! Also, Juliana you are so beautiful in so many ways. Don't forget, your family and friends love you and God Loves You Too!!! Have a great day and God Bless!!
*Tina* Diana Aleman – Honduras, Central America – 07/15/10 3:43 AM hi juliana i dont speak much in your language i just want to say that i love God with all my heart and that i know that everything is going to be ok. i have cried so much when i saw your case in the internet you are beautiful, God loves you so much im going to be praying for you i promise.
Tell your family that God is our savior and that they have to seek him and all the rest will be " añadido" i dont know how to say that word in english...sorry but i love you juliana in the name a jesus christ!!!!!

Mike McCabe – New Mexico – 07/13/10 2:02 PM Hi,
I saw your story on Discovery Health and it really touched me. I'm 30 and have 2 kids of my own and I would do anything for them. Your parents are an inspiration to parents everywhere and I'm sure you know how lucky you are to have them and the rest of your family. I wish you all the luck and love in life and know that there are people in the world like myself who support you and send love and good thoughts your way. Take care and continue to be strong.

Thank you for sharing your life with us.

Sheila :> Elizabeth hoffmann – courtland mn – 07/06/10 6:44 PM I was jumping through channels when your face caught my eye. I work with many disabled children and when I heard your story all I could think was that it would be an honor to work with you. You have shown me even more of a reason than I already have to pursue my college degree in nursing. I start in the fall at SCC in mankato mn. You are my inspiration. thank you. April Trice – Albany, Georgia – 07/06/10 3:55 PM Juliana, I just learned of your story today on Discovery Health.
You are, without a doubt, sacredly beautiful inside and out. A precious soul who has given God skin. Elizabeth – Ohio – 07/06/10 2:41 PM Juliana I am from Ohio.

peggy ramos – Flagstaff, Ariziona – 07/05/10 5:24 PM Julianna Wetmore is an amazing little girl! She is such an extraordinary person; you just want to reach out and hug her! Thank you Wetmore family for sharing Julianna's story with the world; it's truly inspirational! Mikela – Italia – 07/05/10 11:04 AM Ciao piccola Juliana, sono venuta a conoscenza della tua storia percaso navigando in internet. Purtroppo non ho mai saputo niente prima della tua storia. Mi sono incuriosita perchè attraverso le tue fotografie si vede che sei molto sveglia. Mi hai molto colpita, allora ho deciso di scriverti 2 righe. Purtroppo non ho la possibilità di mandarti del denaro perchè sono in una situazione difficile anch'io ma spero ti faccia piacere sapere che hai un'altra amica dall'altra parte del mondo che ti è vicina e che ti vuole bene. Mi piacerebbe tanto conoscerti soprattutto per prendere un po' della tua forza perchè arriva chiaro e tondo che ne hai da vendere. Io non sono così forte. Se ti fa piacere ti scriverò ancora. Verrò spesso a visitare il tuo sito così sarò sempre al corrente delle tue condizioni di salute. Per il momento bacio te e tutta la tua famiglia. Mikela madi – virginia – 07/05/10 2:10 AM Juliana is such an amazing girl! Most anyone in her shoes would have a hard time staying so positive as she is. Much like so many people, I saw the documentary on TV and I fell in love with Juliana. That personality of hers is so sweet, though she has to go through so much in her surgeries and day to day life. She copes so well, and has such a love for life we rarely see these days. Sometimes times get tough and we feel like giving up, but Juliana's times have been tougher and she stays strong. I am very grateful to have discovered Juliana's story. I wish you ALL the best in life. I want to see the rest of this beautiful story unfold. What a beautiful one it is.
Juliana, keep fighting. Keep that amazing personality. Baby girl, you are going to go SO far.
Always;
Madi Emily – Colorado – 07/05/10 1:18 AM I watched your Discovery Health show tonight and then spent some time researching Juliana online. I know you already are aware of the sometimes terrifying things that are posted about her in online forums. I just wanted to emphasize how many more people express love and support for Juliana and your family. She is a beautiful young girl, and so are Danica and your other daughters.
I also wanted to send a little extra support to Kendra- I know how hard it can be to be the sister of a disabled sibling. As much as I'm sure she loves Juliana and as much as I love my brother, it was difficult to always be right outside of my parent's focus.
Stay strong and inspirational! Lisa Schultz – Brownsville, TX – 07/05/10 12:27 AM Your life and story is one that will always live through others to make them strong and hopeful. You are an angel from God, who touches others lives and including your beautiful family's, leaving an impression unlike no other. May God give you more strength and the best of health to endure your future surgeries! I will pray for you and your family~~ along with everyone else that you have touched by sharing with us your journey. Best of luck & best wishes Wetmore family!! TinaV – New Mexico – 07/05/10 12:20 AM I'm so happy to see your updated photos and that there's such improvement in Juliana's face structure...it's amazing! God Bless you all! melissa houser – charlotte, nc – 07/04/10 10:50 PM you and your family are truly an inspiration~ i pray for continuing strength for you. when i first seen your story, i just wanted to pick you up and give you a big, giant hug. juliana, you make other people stronger, you show them who you are. i am so proud of you and your whole family. may you have many many blessings now and always. i wish for any future procedures you may have, to go well and for speedy recoveries. you truly are an inspiration and im so glad to have "met" you. <3 Betty Driver – Anna, TX – 07/04/10 10:40 PM Juliana,

Christina – Massachusettts – 07/04/10 10:21 PM Hi Wetmore family, I just wanted to thank you for allowing the discovery channel to document Juliana's progress & for sharing her inspirational story. It took me almost ten minutes to stop crying (happy tears of course). Juliana is obviously an extremely special girl who has a deep appreciation for life, love & happiness. God has truely blessed the family because we only grow stronger through daily challenges. Despite the hardship that Juliana has endured she is an excellent example of a miracle. Juliana-keep smiling and astounding everyone with your strength! Todd Golding – Lafayette, Indiana – 07/04/10 9:51 PM Hi, Juliana and family! We're watching your show tonight.

Kurt Huey – Frisco, Texas – 07/02/10 1:39 AM Juliana, wow a story and journey you are bringing to the world. Your courage and strength are matched only by your passion for life. I hope, one day (and I know you will) realize the inspiration you bring to others.
I know, it is only a matter of time that you will one day be finished with these surgeries. Your patience and desire to go through all of this is well, remarkable. You are a real and true gift from the Lord.
Enjoy your life and may God continue to bless you and your family forever. Hang in there Sunshine your doing great!
Sondra – Franklin, Tn USA – 07/02/10 1:15 AM What an inspiration the entire family is... from the mom who is amazing, dad who pitches in with the kids, and fights for our freedom, sister who is so supportive of Juliana and Juliana herself and her efforts to transform, transformed me as well! Sara Schexnayder – Baton Rouge , LA – 07/02/10 1:00 AM Hello,
I watched Juliana's story tonight and I just wanted to let you all know that I was touched in every possible way by the beauty and determination of your brave little girl. My heart goes out to your family, and I want you to know that you are in my prayers, because I know that times can be tough. I am seventeen years old and about to start my senior year in high school, and I know that I still have alot of battles and struggles ahead of me. But Julianna has opened my eyes tonight and made me realize that no matter how difficult something may be, I can always get throught it with a smile on my face. Julianna has inspired me to become a better person and appreciate everything in life more than ever. Julianna has come a long way and made great strides. Keep fighting and hold your head up high Julianna because you're a beatiful little girl that has impacted the world! Everyone is very proud of you!
Sincerely,
Sara Schexnayder

I must say the courage, and the spirit she displays is a portrait of an Angel of God. She demonstrates the true meaning of "Strength" for us all. Showing us all the true meaning of LIVING! Thank you God bless!
bonita wilson – fredericksburg, VA – 07/01/10 11:04 PM I felt as a mother hurt for the mother, but after seeing tonights updates on Juliana I must say I feel happy for the mother as i should have from get go. I say this because you have a bright young lady who is a fighter and a very loving child. She along with her sister will keep you too busy as any other children their ages. I'm so glad to see her progress and you have a great medical staff caring for Juliana. She's a beautiful little girl.

Breanne Fain – Georgia – 06/30/10 3:37 PM Juliana,
I don't quite know what to say. I just want to let you know, if you don't already, that you are a beautiful girl, even though some people may not realize it. It's great what you parents are doing for you, and hopefully this will help the people in the world who don't realize that you're just like everyone else. There are always going to be those people who don't realize that even though it's obvious, but you are an AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL person who can brighten up a whole room just when you walk in, and I can tell because you brighten up my whole world when I pictures of your progress. Your parents are so lucky to have you!
Sincerly, Breanne Fain Kristin Rogers – DeBary, Florida – 06/30/10 11:33 AM Congratulations on your expanding family! That is wonderful news! I love checking in on Juliana and seeing how she is doing. Her beautiful spirit just radiates (even through my computer) screen). It fills my heart with joy to know about this precious little girl. And now to have more children to love must make your family feel so enriched. God bless you all! sandro – Italia – 06/29/10 6:18 PM “Mai paura non avrai

I hope to meet you, one day, and your parents. You really are, to my eyes, very important people. Tanti auguri!Ciao! Sandro
stephanie beazley – london, uk – 06/29/10 4:11 PM hi juliana,
I saw a documentry about you last night and your story really touched me! You were 3 in the programe ( the same age as my little girl Poppy) and you reminded me so much of her. Your such a lovely girl, your parents must be so proud. She watched a video about you on youtube and do you know what she said? " can Juliana come round and play?" bless her! I had to explain that you live far away like her auntie. If you ever do come to london, Poppy would love to meet you of course!
I hope with all my heart that you live a long happy life and that your story touches many other hearts as it has mine.
Love steph xxx Fiona Buxton – Wales, uk – 06/28/10 11:27 AM Hi Juliana, I also watched a documentary last night and wanted to know how you are getting along now, and you are so beautiful.
I wish you and your family all the best for the future.
Take care Fiona xxxx Zia – New Jersey – 06/28/10 2:54 AM Hi Juliana! I'm nine years old and I heard of your story. I hope you don't have to have surgury. I have surgury above my eye when I was three. I bet your very nice. If someone trys to be mean to you i think they are very mean! Your just like everybody else. Like this: You have a heart We have hearts too,You have two legs and two arms and we do too! See? Your just like everyone else! I hope you feel better when your sick and my b-day is today. Sorry I did not say happy b-day on your b-day so....HAPPY BIRTHDAY! heehee.
Remember your like everyone else
Love always,Zia Steve – England – 06/27/10 8:15 PM Hi Juliana!
I saw your tv programme tonight, about your operations when you were around 3 years old. You reminded me so much of my niece when she was that age (she's 6 this year), I wanted to check out how you were doing. It's great to see things are going so well for you!
Lots of love, Steve. x x lulu hubbard – London England – 06/27/10 6:04 PM Your family are an inspiation, you are all beautiful inside and out, I wish you to continue healthly through your journey of life together.
All my love
Lulu xxx Karen Victoria Davenport – New York, NY – 06/27/10 3:32 PM Hi Juliana! I am so happy to hear of your new cheeks and see a picture after so many months. You sure look beautiful. I hope your summer is really fun.
Hello to you all—Tami, Thom, Kendra, Jeanne and the lovely new girl & the dog.
Love, Karen Victoria Patty Kongkousonh – Viola Illinois – 06/27/10 1:16 AM I was surfing for the more beautiful you song when I came across your story. I read some terrible posts by truly evil people and can't believe anyone would be so cruel. You are wonderful parents. You have given the gift of life. Obviously some people think that a persons outward appearance is what's important. It looks to me like Juliana is a very happy and active girl. She has a loving family and I hope god will continue to bless your family and I pray for the evil and heartless people that god will forgive them. Lauren – Tennessee – 06/26/10 9:32 PM I truly feel selfish to think I've struggled so much with my own self image when I see your little girl smile. At her young age, she already has a better grip on her priorities than I do. I admire her so much. I can only hope that instead of people expecting her to become more like them, they become more like her. She's just radiating with a beauty that seems contagious-even via internet. I'm glad I found this site as I was serfing youtube for some of my favorite Christian songs. It says a lot about the kind of people her parents and family must be to have such courage and passion to not know what to expect next and still not look back. There are so many children out there who aren't as blessed with such an atmosphere of love to grow in. Juliana has truly become imprinted on my heart, and for that I'm grateful! Maya Prince – highland village,Texas – 06/26/10 5:28 PM hi, Juliana! I saw your new picture and you look sssoooo beautiful. I still want to meet you and I am still 10. Good luck!
Maya Jeremy Tidwell – Jacksonville – 06/26/10 12:18 PM Hey Juliana,
Just wanted to say that the new photo of you looks great! You have really come a long way and nothing is out of your reach!
You are a beautiful little girl with a beautiful spirit. I wish you the best on your journey through this life. Katie – Atlantic Beach – 06/25/10 3:54 PM Hello Whetmore Family!
I have been following your story since I first 'met' Juliana on a medical show on tv. What a wonderful family!
Juliana has come a looooonngggg way since day one and the transformations are remarkable! I am glad I found your website as I have been wondering how things have been going for you all, and what progress has been made. Juliana sounds like she is having a blast in school! Have a wonderful summer and please keep the site updated as often as you can. I love to hear how everyone is doing. Andrea M – Canada – 06/23/10 3:01 PM My partner suffers from a birth defect that has caused his kidneys to fail. He has had one transplant when he was 12, and now that he's turning 23, his kidney is starting to reject. As a result he is in dialysis 3 times a week for 4 hours at a time. We found out we have the same blood type, and I could be a potential donor, but recently we recieved disappointing news that he has so many antibodies fighting his kidney, there would be no hope in me donating mine, his body would reject it right away. It could take anywhere from 5-15 years to find a perfect donor. Being on dialysis long term has major cutbacks on life expectancy. Seeking comfort, I found Juliana's story which has deeply touched me. Juliana has inspired me to keep positive. I now have faith that everything will work out just fine. Thank you so much for sharing Juliana's story. Kathy Hall – Minooka, IL – 06/21/10 3:51 PM Hey, Sweet Pea...:) "A Big Hello" from your "family" in Minooka!

Kristi Medusa – Hamilton ON – 06/20/10 4:19 AM Juliana! I first heard about you a few years back, I just discovered you had a website. I've been in and out of the hospital my whole life, so I definitely know how that interferes with things. Feeding tubes and port-a-caths might seem annoying but it's all for the best. You get more and more beautiful every day! Jacalyn Vehorn – summerville,sc – 06/17/10 8:58 PM Hi Juliana! I just stopped by to say hello :) I love to see your pictures because you just get prettier & prettier! Have fun with your dancing & all your new sisters, we love you!

Then today SUPRISE there is some things i had missed. (i guess that goes to show i havent been on here in a really long time-sorry about that) I'm really excited for you and your new sisters. I think that is amazing that you guys would do such a thing as taking in 3 beautiful girls. Tami- you said you wonder why god would trust you with such lives. well thats because you have such a wonderful family and he knows you will do what is best for the girls.

I've been following your progress all the way over here in the UK, and think you are fabulous, and doing so amazingly well.
My nephew was born with a "poorly head" (his cranium had sealed over before birth) and he had to have lots of surgeries to help him. He can't talk very well, and he uses sign, like you do! I love, love, love him to bits, and am really proud of him, just like your family must be so very proud of you, too.
I want to send lots of love and good health wishes to you, sweetie!
Keep doing as well as you are doing!
XX with love from the UK XX Sarah Willman – Winnipeg MB. – 06/13/10 2:07 AM I think you must be a very brave young lady. I think you and your family are very lucky to have each other, and your friends are blessed to know you.

Anna – Manchester, UK – 06/12/10 5:27 PM Hey Juliana,
I am 13 years old and I really admire you. I have seen your documentary about 4 times now. I think you are a wonderfully brave little girl. When I had to have just one operation i was scared, but you are so brave you have endured over 20! Keep shining, Juliana, you little star. You are amazing and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.
Love From Anna x
P.S: Follow your dreams :-) Alexis – Trinidad and Tobago – 06/10/10 9:14 PM Juliana,i really admire the faith of your parents and the way they did not give up, you really have awesome parents who love you a lot and God loves you as well. you are fearfully and wonderfully made, you are perfect, and beautiful, just remember that.

Nicolita – Bolivia – 05/29/10 6:22 PM Hello Juliana and Family!
My name is Nicole and I'm from Bolivia and I have 14 years.
By chance I saw a video with several photos of Julianita on youtube.
I was very touched, the truth that your story touched my heart.
It's amazing for all that to last Juliana, now I will to enter as many times as you can to the page to learn more about her. Please write more often =)
Juliana does not matter if born with a defect or something, she's beautiful as it is, it is much more what is inside than outside. She is beautiful inside and out!
Juli success in your projects! also to the family.
God bless you always!
Juli you're always in my prayers! ♥ Stine – Denmark – 05/29/10 9:17 AM Hi Juliana and famliy ;-)
I just saw your docmentary on danish TV, and it really, really touched my heart and my soul.
I wish everything good for you.
Be strong and dont you ever let anyone bring you down.
Hugs From Denmark. christine – RI – 05/28/10 9:16 PM Hi Juilana,
I'm 18 years old and i will be graduating from high school soon. While doing a project i came across your story, and it has inspired me so much. After high school i plan on going to college to become a nurse. My dream has always been to work with kids & do everything i can possibly do to help them. You are a very strong and beautiful girl and your story has made me want to become a nurse even more. you have been through so much in just a short amount of time, and i give you so much credit for being as strong as you are & for pulling through all of it. You have family and friends that love you with all their hearts. I wish the best for you & your family!
Lucas Carvalho – Brazil – 05/28/10 3:30 PM Hello Juliana.
I wanted to say that everyone here in Brazil are rooting for you and every day more and more in Charming with your determination and your power to overcome! You're a wonderful girl, and we cheered for you too. You're a winner! We monitor your site regularly. We would like to send a big kiss and wish you all good in this world. Miss Ericka – <3 <3 – 05/28/10 12:05 AM Love you all! Don't be mad about tomorrow! Have lots of fun!!!!
Sam just licked my screen, he says "hi" or "meow" which do you think? De Bie – Je suis avec toi – 05/27/10 10:09 PM Je ne parle pas anglais, mais je tenais à te dire que je suis de tout coeur avec toi. Il te faudra du courage, beaucoup de courage, mais finalement, tu verras que plus tard tu seras très heureuse car tu as une famille en or ! Tu as une force de caractère extraordinaire. J'aurai toujours une pensée pour toi. A bientôt Juliana. Eddy Samantha – Somewhere! – 05/27/10 4:49 PM I just want to say that I am 14 and I believe that Juliana is absolutely Beautiful! She wasn't born with a birth defect or anything- she was born the way God intended for her to be born! God has a reason for everything and I'm not going to pretend that I know what it is! Maybe so she can be a walking Testimony to those around her- Her friends, Family, and yes, even to her kids when she gets older! I don't believe for one second that God didn't intend her to be this way! There is nothing wrong with her! She's absolutely beautiful! Maybe this is suppose to teach us to look on the inside rather than the outside. After all, true beauty is on the inside not the outside. She is a beautiful, inside and out!
God Bless you all!
P.S. Juliana~ Your always in my prayers! Roby – Italy – 05/27/10 3:20 PM Hello little princess, I am Robert from Italy. I met a few days, your
history. I would like to send a big kiss to you and your parents! Thanks to exist.!I'll follow you in your site! Mitchell Delaney – Minneapolis, Minnesota – 05/27/10 12:51 AM Juliana-
Hello. I just heard of your story this evening and I have been inspired by your courage and perseverance. Even as a Freshman in high school, I know it is a life altering story. I certainly wish you the best of luck in the coming times. Merethe – Denmark – 05/26/10 5:14 PM Hi Juliana and family
I also saw the program on Juliana tonight and all of you touched my hart -the hope, happienies and love etc are amasing. After the program I went on the internet and found out that since the program was recorded and till now around 10 more operations has gone by and the family has grown. All of you are amaising—yes God must find your family unique. I'm glad that the world today can help Juliana and other so the loving, happy girl can show the world the smile that we all already now can see that se has. Best of wishes for the future for the hole family. Love Merethe RK – Denmark – 05/26/10 2:56 PM Hello Juliana, like the one beneath me, I am also watching a documentary on danish TV.

RK lotte pedersen – Denmark – 05/26/10 2:33 PM Hi Juliana—I have never seen such a brave girl like you. You are fantastic. I am in this moment seing a documentary about your journey. Girl power :o) I am sending lots of kind love to you and your family. Kind regards from Lotte, Denmark Savionce – Florida – 05/25/10 11:11 PM Hey, Juliana!
I forgot to comment your Guest Book! I haven't comment since . . . April... no... I forgot! LOL.
I love you and I hope you are having fun! You are awesome.
You're such a sweety and be safe :) Nonie Love – USA – 05/25/10 8:22 PM this story touched my heart and made me cry, keep fighting Juliana you are beautiful! Amer Najjar – JORDAN – 05/25/10 4:33 PM hey juli ,actually i didn't know about u 1 week ago,suddenly,i got my faith back,after i had some troubles in my life .. but now i realize that no matter how messed up life can be ,a beautiful free spirit like u can make it up :)
we love u Ricardo Torres – Torreón, México – 05/25/10 3:26 PM Hi Juliana:
I wanted to write to you because you are an inspiration to me, lately my faith has weakened because all that is happening here, suddenly you show up and then a grown up like me (42) gets embarrassed of being this weak when a girl like you (as well as your parents) shows this integrity and coherency with her beliefs. I wish I could be a little more like you.
Thank you for existing, you are a teacher to all of us.
Please receive a big hug from a friend of México. Sophia – Germany – 05/24/10 8:37 AM Hey little princess, you are such a brave girl. I saw a video from you on the internet and so I searched for you on the internet and I found your website. You are a beautiful girl and I saw that you are dancing balett. You look very pretty :-) best wishes from Germany
Dear parents of Juliana :-) I think you did the right thing when you decided to keep her she's an amazing girl :-) You can be proud of her
I'm sorry when my english is not always right. I tried my best.
Best wishes Sophia Karen A. Fisk – 05/24/10 2:16 AM Hi Juliana! Im so glad to have an update on you. You have such beautiful hair!!! but I know that part of expressing yourself involves making changes so if you cut Im all for it~ you can always grow it out. It is going for a good cause. My son had his head shaved in honor of his sister and he looked handsome as ever. I hope you have a fantabulous summer and I am looking forward to all the news about you and your family. You are a SuperStar!! Love Karen Jennifer Cupp – Harrisburg, PA – 05/22/10 10:41 AM Hi Juliana and family,
I was watching tv last night and just flipping through some on demand shows on Discovery when I came across a little snippet of your story. It touched my heart so much, and I spent last night thinking about you and your family and your journey. Today, I see you have a website! I was so glad to get an update, as you were only 5 in the show I watched, and I'm glad to see that your latest surgery went well. I just wanted to tell you that you are a beautiful girl, inspirational to us all, and you reminded me of how much hope and strength and goodness there is in this world. I look forward to following your progress and I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to hear your story. Thank you! Kimberly – New York – 05/22/10 1:05 AM What an incredible family!! The amount of love and caring that comes out of this family and little girl's story is truly wonderful. I hadn't known of this condition until I found a video on YouTube tonight that looks to be a montage of Juliana pictures set to Johnny Diaz's "More Beautiful You." It's true what he sings—"You were made with such care—your skin your body and your hair are perfect just the way they are- There could never be a more beautiful you."
Luckily for Juliana, she has been born into a deeply loving family that I'm sure reminds her of this all the time. How often do all of us lose sight of this truth?
I love that it seems you are doing all within your power to give her a normal childhood. Rock climbing?! I'm 28 and not sure that I could do that!
Rock on, superstar Juliana! Eva – New York – 05/21/10 7:04 PM Hi... I've been a fan of Juliana's for awhile now (more than 2 years, in fact), but for some reason this is the first time I'm signing the Guest book! Crazy, right?
Juliana, I think you're a beautiful, inspiring girl, and from everything I've read on this website, you also seem bubbly, intelligent, & a blast to be around. You've got it going on little lady!! :)
I just read the newest post and I'm so happy the surgery went well. I hope we'll get to see some pictures of the new haircut!
Much love & good luck with everything,
Eva Nora – okc,oki – 05/21/10 6:57 PM hello!How are u Julianna?I Just wanted to tell u that I admire you're braveness and that you are a very strong and smart little girl. Keep up the good work. God Bless U and all ur family. BreAnn – Longview, WA – 05/21/10 6:52 PM I was looking for the Johnny Diaz song "More Beautiful You" when I came across the video dedicated to Julia... I am 17 years old I think the song is definitely fitting for Julia. I'd never heard of her, but I found this very her story inspiring... <3 Kristi Morris – Abilene, TX – 05/21/10 1:02 PM What a great update!!! Thank so much for sharing. I think if Superhero Juliana wants a haircut then donating those beautiful curls is a FANTASTIC idea!! YOU GO GIRL!!
I am so glad to hear she is doing well and rockin' on!
Sending lots of love and hugs your way Juliana!!
Sincerely-
Kristi niki – Philadelphia, Pa – 05/20/10 7:15 PM I came across Juliana's video on youtube and was instantly inspired by her. Sometimes I think i have it bad and then I remember, Things could always be harder. I can honestly say that this little girl is a lot stronger than I am... She goes on with her life like nothing is wrong and I admire her for that. She is truly a child of GOD and he has angels by her side at all times. The love the family has for her is amazing. I have a 7 year old daughter and if there were any difficulties with her health, i know that i would love her the same if not more. I can say, though, that i would probably not have as much patience as your family has.. I have a lot of respect for you, as parents, and the siblings for being there and staying by her side, realizing that she is just a kid like them. A normal child who happens to be different on the outside. But on the inside she is the same as you and I. This message is for Juliana—hello hunny, my name is niki. I am 27 years old. I have a little girl who is 7 and I love her very much, as I know your mommy does. Thats how i know that your mommy loves you very much and is very proud of you. When i saw your video on youtube, I almost cried seeing your story and I havent been the same since. You are a truly special little girl. You are different, sure, but your different in ways that we should strive to be as grown-ups everyday!!! You are very strong and endure a lot of surgeries and stress that we as grown-ups probably couldn't even handle once!!! Your nurse seems to love you and says a lot of nice things about you. You have also touched her life in ways she probably never thought possible. I see you going to school and taking dance classes... I know your probably a wonderful dancer. Keep up the good work and stick to it if its something that you love. Practice makes perfect. I like your website a lot! Not many kids your age are lucky enough to have their own website!!! Wow... a whole website..built just for you!! I enjoy looking at your pictures and i feel like i know you when i see the picture of you waving in the guestbook. I can pretend that your waving to me, right? hehehe. Ok juliana, my entry is getting long...if you would like, I'd love hear from you sometime. I think it would be nice if you and my daughter leelee could exchange letters. She's a nice, kind little girl who would love to hear from you. She kinda reminds me of you! Such personality! Well you have my email address, so if you feel up to it, we would love to know how you are doing. Bye! tatiana – greece – 05/20/10 8:56 AM Hello—please don't cut julianna's hair! I think it looks lovely and she will be sad when it's gone! Linda Horner – Madeira Beach FL – 05/20/10 12:15 AM Nurse Jeanne (Party),
Thank you for your update on Juliana and her recent surgery. I know Tammi and Thom are really busy with all of the girls.
I am glad Juliana is doing so well and is taking more of a part in her daily health procedures, her nicky or micky button feedings and her trach attention as well as other procedures she helps with. I knew she would take more of a part in her daily care procedures as she got older and could understand how to do the procedures with your and Tami and Thom and Kendal's help.
Keep up the great work in your studies and everything you do Juliana.
I know you, your Mom,Dad and Kendal are busy with your new sisters and getting adjusted.
Take care and I look forward to updates on you and your family when possible on the Discovery Health Channel.

Kendra has been a super big sister to you and I know she is teaching you about being a super big sister to your new sisters. You will both be able help teach your new sisters a lot.
When time allows I hope we can see some more updates about you and your family on Discovery Health Channel or The Learning Channel (TLC). I know you and your family are very busy adjusting to all the changes with the new additions to your family.
God has really blessed you and your family in so many ways and I pray His blessings continue. You and your family are so special.

Karina Bethancour Emma – norwich – 04/13/10 11:51 AM I stumbled across this website as i was doing my course for child learning & develeopment & disabilities. I cannot tell you how much it made me smile! Those pictures you have are so sweet & some are so funny like the one with the giraffe, i honestly think that giraffe is smiling!! The one that got me the best was the sleeping beauties. That really touched my heart! You have a BEAUTIFUL girl!! I cant stress that enough!!!!! I want to thank you for making this awareness of her illness & making it so simple to understand. I give you so much respect & love for making her a normal child!!! Well done for that!! She has a right to be a normal child & you've made sure shes kept that right!!!
You should be given awards for what you've done!!! Sham – Singapore – 04/12/10 8:56 AM Hi there Juliana, I once chanced upon a documentary feature about you and your family. I rarely watch videos on the documentary channel but I made this one exception to actually see the entire feature. The show was very moving for me at the time.
Safe to say, it struck a chord in me enough to make me sign up on your website just to post this greeting. I wish you the best in life and my blessings towards your recovery.
I've experienced the world for 22 years and I've realised how unforgiving it can be. I hope you don't ever have to face these challenges, but if you do...do not let it tear you apart. Be a strong person. My prayers to you and your family. Olessya – Russia – 04/11/10 10:23 AM Hello)I have a profound respect for your family!And it's really so because it's wonderful that there's such great love in today's world, full of angry people, unable to love!

God bless you all Brandi – Iowa, United States – 04/07/10 4:56 AM Dear Wetmore family,
I was surfing through youtube videos and ended up finding Juliana's inspirational videos. I stopped by to let you know that Juliana's story has truly touched my heart.
A lot of people have different opinions of what beauty truly is. And in my opinion, Juliana is my definition of beautiful. True beauty shines from the inside out, and Juliana is radiant.
Continue to stay strong throughout your surgeries sweetheart! No matter what anyone ever tells you, remember that you are an inspiring, amazing, magnificent, brave, beautiful little girl. You may be different from everyone else but that is what makes you special and unique. I will continue to watch over your progress and pray for you. Even though I am 19 years old, Juliana you are MY hero.
God Bless little one!! John B – Warminster, PA – 04/07/10 1:18 AM Hi Juliana! I just had to write to tell you I'm also a Phillies fan and I saw a picture of you with your Phillies shirt on and I'm jealous! I hope your new sister is enjoying her new home and I hope you both are enjoying school. Please tell your Daddy "Thank You" for the service to our country and your Mommy that she is a great inspiration! I will keep your whole family in my prayers and light a candle for you at church!
Big hugs to all! cristiana – Rome - ITALY – 04/06/10 1:37 PM Juliana you are wonderful!!
You are the braver person who I have never met. I wish you all the good of the world and thanks for the lesson.

Never forget that. All my love to you and your family!! Christian – Austria – 04/01/10 12:39 AM Hi, Juliana and family.
I just surfed in youtube and more or less stumbled over the videos and the impossible comments from people around the globe. I have scrolled through all the information available and yes, you and your family have a certain strengh, very clear and strongly visible. I want to express respect to you and your beloved once, for having such a good attitude in your special situation. I just want to let you know, others around the globe do care. You will be in my thoughts from now on. I keep my fingers crossed for your future and keep your "chin up" as before. You will make it, certainly.
Best regards from Austria/Europe. Julie Medero – Riverview, FL – 03/31/10 10:31 PM Hello Wetmore Family , Just wanted to see how much I admire Juliana. She is such a brave little girl. I to have a child with Treacher Collins and her name is Brooklynne. She just turned 10 in January. It great to know there are others out there that care about our special kids and have friends and family that love them as much as we love them.
Your a very special Mother and don't forget that ever.
I would someday love to come visit. My daughter has seen lots of her surgery's on tv. and we explaned to her that she has the samething as her's but that julianna's is little bit more worste then hers, but that deep down inside she's the same little girl.
And my little one said, Mommy Thats ok, cause she is pretty like me and that makes us special..
Then and there, I knew she understood that she was different in her own little way and didnt care what others thought.
Well, I hope your having a great day and cant wait to hear from you .
Julie

How very exciting for Juliana and Danica to be able to share their unique experiences with a sister. And how like God that they should be just 2 months apart in age (almost twins!).
Thank you, Nurse Jeanne for sharing Juliana's story with us. As a fellow pediatric home care nurse, I love to read your posts and be reminded of the special ministry involved. What a blessing you must be to the Wetmores. And what a gift Juliana is for you.
God bless you all,

I have just watched the documentary about you on Discovery Channel
and together with my husband I'd like to let you know that you are a very special baby we like so much.
You are very lucky to have a special family and they are extremely lucky because you are a part of them.
We wish you all the best for your life. Heather O\\\'Neal – Lexington, SC – 03/19/10 3:15 PM I have, like so many others, followed your story since the first Discovery show. My daughter is just a few months younger than you. You are an amazing girl w/ so many talents. And so many people who love you! I hope you always know how lucky you are.
Happy Birthday about 3 weeks late!
**Thom & Tami—congratulations on being such determined parents. I imagine that in the face of being told how brave you are, etc, as a parent you don't really have much choice beyond just doing what needs to be done.
But I also know how exhausting it can be just on average, and you have to add in the extra maintenance and hospital trips. Best wishes for keeping up your strength and faith.
It saddens me that people, who seem to be getting meaner overall, feel perfectly ok w/ sending unkind or vicious emails. I can't fathom why they think it's ok to attack a little girl.
I know you're more or less in our area. If ever you would care to come to the Carolina Renaissance Festival, I'm sure we'd love to have you! Mirjam Kristensen – North-Norway – 03/19/10 5:44 AM Happy birthday my little angel Juliana.
i hope you will get a very fun day.i sendt you a present for a wild a go.hope you got it.
big hug and many kisses to you.love you very much. Shiela Shinholster – 03/19/10 12:43 AM Happy belated birthday sweet Juliana! Congratulations on your new sisters as well! I hope you all had a fun day :) Love to you all! Rebecca Eimers – Clio, MI – 03/18/10 11:09 PM Hey Juliana!
I found your story by random chance, and I am truly inspired by you!
You are an amazing young woman!
Happy Belated Birthday!
I pray that God will become the driving force behind your every move!
Much prayers and support!

Congratulations, Lovely, that you now have so many sisters. A big houseful of girrrrlllls and your wonderful Dad!
As always, I often think of you and you and your whole family are in my prayers. I looked at the news film online showing Danica at school and noticed your adorable cheeks, Juliana, that I know are still developing, but still are adorable as everything about you is! Keep smiling, Angel, and have fun this springtime.
(I love you Wetmores & Jeanne! You always inspire me)
Love and a hug from up north,
Karen Victoria Davenport (dying to see pictures of the whole enlarged family now) Lori from the Aloha State – Hawaii – 03/15/10 7:05 AM I just watched Juliana's Story on Discovery. I was truly touched by your little girl and you, her family. I cried not of pity but of such warmth that I could feel through my tv. She is truly God's child and you are a special family. Mom, you are terrific, Kendra you are such a great big sister I know you will always protect her.

Lori Maranda A. Levine – Grafenwoehr, Germany – 03/15/10 5:03 AM I want to wish Juliana a happy and a blessed life.

Just keep on being the best Juliana that you can be and also keep up with the ballet. I too dance. Mostly modern and tap, but I do love ballet. If you ever need anything please ask. Take Care and God Bless! Laura – Cleveland,Ohio – 03/15/10 1:43 AM Like most others that have signed your guest book, I also was flicking through the tv stations and saw the updated story of your little Juliana and she touched my heart. At the time it was recorded Juliana was 5 my daughters age, Juliana is sooo smart!!! I just wanted to let you know that your whole family has touched my heart, and good luck with your new additions I think your gonna need it with all those girls, poor Thom. Now that I am a member I can get updates on the little heart warmer, that is if you have time to get on the computer and update.

Juliana is such a sweet little girl. She has been such a strong little girl. God has given you a beautiful child. I saw the story that you have also adopted a little girl with the same condition as Juliana. Such a lucky little girl Danica is to have such a chance to live with you and your family. My prayers are with your family for strength and blessings and sucessful surgeries on both girls. I look forward to reading more about the girls bright futures....Kendra is a good older sister....she is an angel herself. Thom and Tami you have so blessed with a wonderful family.

I watch her updates on Discovery Channel and I just cry thinking how hard it must be for the family not knowing how the outcome of each surgery is going to be! I also think the family is wonderful for taking in 3 other children that needed someone to love them even though they have a enough stress on them..I look up to them!
Sincerely,
Amber Hadley & Family renee kontos – chicago – 03/15/10 12:41 AM Juliana, you and your family are so powerful!

She's an example for all of us and she breaks my heart!
Take care
love,
Ron Claudine Warner – South Africa – 03/09/10 7:46 AM Dear Tammy,
I saw a documentary on discovery last week on Juliana. Your family’s touched me deeply. I too have two daughters, the oldest Monique is the same age as Juliana and the youngest Micaela is one year old.
The thing that made me most realize that Juliana is just is bright, happy and loving child was the way in which she and Kendra interacted with each other. Juliana was eager to learn from Kendra and enjoyed Kendra fulfilling her duties as big sister in a very loving and spontaneous manner. I see similar interaction between my two girls all the time.
My daughter Monique was born with an abnormal left kidney, and had to undergo several test and an operation at age 5, to re-implant the pipes from her left duplex kidney correctly into her bladder. I understand what it feels like for a parent to lead a child to the operating table and leave her live there in the hands of strangers. I have done it and tomorrow she will be going under anesthesia again, hopefully for the last time, for more tests. I can not imagine doing it for 29 times though. I want to urge you to remain strong and continue your journey to give your daughter the most independent live she can have, she will thank you for it some day. Just remember God never gives anyone anything He doesn’t belief they can handle.
God put Juliana on this earth for many reasons one of them being for her to remind us all that you do not need a normal face by mans standards to be loved, adorned and admired.
May god bless Juliana with love and happiness.
Claudine
Nataliya – Ukraine – 03/09/10 4:53 AM Dear Juliana!

Budimir – Serbia, Europe – 03/08/10 8:38 AM Like many people worldwide, I saw the documentary on Discovery Channel.
I see the Guest Book is full of feelings, wishes and thoughts I wanted to express myself too. So, I won't repeat what's on everyone's minds and hearts.
Big big big hug for the big girl (big both for her age and her personality)!
Happy Birthday, Juliana! anna – Athens-Greece – 03/08/10 8:02 AM Hello Tami,
I saw the documentary on Discovery Channel a couple of days ago. I was deeply moved by your daughter's story. She clearly is a very strong little girl and I admire you and your husband for your determination.
She is in my thoughts and prayers every day.
Keep going...
Sincerely,
Anna Alex Cubretti – Saint-Petersburg, Russian Federation – 03/08/10 5:34 AM Dear Juliana! Please do not fall into despair, you're a little miracle! Let the God help you and lead you to the happiness.

All the best for the future
Med.stud. Vegard O. marina – Ukraine – 03/07/10 4:56 PM I've just learned about Juliana from Discovery Channel. I have very contraversary feelings about this little girl, but the strongets feeling is that i think she's incredible! I just want to wish this little miracle to be a real fighter, no matter what happens. Bridget Devine – South Africa – 03/07/10 11:05 AM Dear Tami & Thom
Last night I was flicking through the TV channels at a venue which has DSTV. I was so touched with Juliana's story. Yes, it is 2010 and this is the first time I have seen or heard her of her life.
I have two children and therefor understand the amount of work and dedication which is needed to raise them. Yours is just extraordinary and special! You have made me more aware that I need to prepare my children better for others who might not look 'like us'.
PLEASE keep your website updated, as this is the only way of me being able to check on her surgerys and progress. She is such a sweet thing and has gone through so much for a little girl.
You are in my prayers.
Bridget Devine

Zachary Ashton Crowell – Nova Scotia- Canada – 03/01/10 10:17 PM Dear Wetmore family,
It takes a lot to be able to raise a unique daugher like Juliana. You have taken the task at hand, and made it the best it could be.
I watched you show tonight, and it made me realize how lucky we are. Juliana's story is an inspiration to all of us, and im so glad you aggreed to have a show, so people know what it is like & what you have to live like day-to-day. She is just as normal as any other child her age, but a lot of people tend to "judge books by there covers", which no one should do. You are a brave family, and I respect that! My hat comes off to your family, and to your beauitful daughter, Juliana :) ! Kattie Granger – Pocahontas, Arkansas – 03/01/10 7:54 PM Juliana, you are a dear and sweet girl,and you are a insparation to all.

I thank you.

I hope that your next surgeries go well for you. It is great to hear that you feel good about your life and have friends and family who love and care about you. I hope that you will not always have pain. I have pain all the time now and it is just no fun!
You are a very courageous young lady! Thank you for sharing your story with all of us!

Love,
Vicki Audrey Blessman – Culver, Indiana – 02/16/10 12:37 AM Hi Juliana!
I am a high school teacher. I teach various art classes (painting, drawing, figure drawing) and art history.
I ran across a photo of you while I was looking for images of bones of the face for my portraiture and figure drawing class. You were just a little baby in the photo and I wanted to know more about you and your story.
Anyway! I've spent hours looking at photos of you, watching videoclips of you (the one of you going to see your dad at the base when he returned after six months was so neat!!)
As I mentioned, I teach art and I can say I have so many things I could say about how beautiful you are. I love your hair for one thing —it is so different in every photo and that just is so cool! In some photos it looks thick and dark and in others it looks golden. The photo of your mom holding you reaching to the dolpin —there your hair looks soooo glamorous!! I also think your eyes are beautiful, too, and I am so happy you can see —and see beauty around you. Your eyes are so pretty -it makes me want to kiss them!! And those eyelashes!! So lush!! So pretty!!
I feel it is very important, Juliana, I mention that, even though I teach art and love finding beauty in the world around me, when it comes to people beauty is not everything and never should be. What matters most is what is on the inside (and I am trying teach this to my 3.5 year-old boy-girl twins). It is important to feel confident, Juliana, but it is far more imporant to be compassionate. This is true for EVERYONE.
I am just so inspired by you and your joy exhibited in your photos and your videos. I feel so blessed to "know you" just a little bit and I hope that you know just how precious you are.
I hope you know that you have something to give to others. Right now it might be inspiration, but tomorrow it might be something totally different. I think you will touch many people in your life and you will lift many people up in more ways than one.
Right now, enjoy being a kid as much as you can!! Enjoy learning at school (I WISH I could be a student again!!!)
Always set goals for yourself and ask God for strength and wisdom to make and reach your goals. Be strong and courageous and bless those around you. God bless you Juliana!! Thank you for inspiring me today —and for many more days to come.
Big hug to you from me,
Audrey the Art Teacher Kelly Hamel – Ponchatoula, LA – 02/15/10 8:56 PM I just wanted to say that you and your husband help give so many people hope!! My brother -in-law just recently had a child born with Spina Bifida. His wife went her entire pregnancy without knowing. She had 6 regular ultrasounds and 1 4-D and it was still undetected. So when little Breighton was born they were thrown for quite a loop to say the least! He was born on 2/10/10. He is still in the NICU at the children's hospital! I read your story and felt so inspired by it that I will be talking to my sister in law and telling her!! I am very happy to know that your little princess is still able to have a fullfilled life! Thank you so much for posting your story and many blessings to you and your family!! Kaysia – Indiana – 02/15/10 4:10 PM Juliana, I was recently on youtube and watched your video to the song "More Beautiful You." That is a beautiful song, and you are a beautiful girl. No matter what people say. I was so inspired by your story and your courage, and I wish you the best in the years to come. You are in my prayers. Hang in there sweetie! God bless you all! -Kaysia Donald morgan – salisbury north carolina – 02/15/10 1:53 PM Juliana,Hope you had a very nice valentines day,thinking and praying for you and your family everynight love your new pictures,i just had to say hi again to see how you was doing,and i wish you all the happiness in he world you are such a very special person.you are stong and brave and have the most loving parents in the world,take care god bless see you soon.

I hope you had a wonderful christmas. Take care. XX. Martine Bleiji – Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands – 02/08/10 1:12 PM Hi Juliana and family,
Wow, as mentioned by some other people before me, there was an documentary about you on Dutch television last night. You are quite something, aren't you?!
I liked to see you sign, because I am a sign language interpreter. Some of the signs you made are the same as here in the Netherlands :)
Your mom and dad picked the perfect name for you! Juliana was the mother of the Dutch queen, and she was a special lady, like you are.
Love from the Netherlands, Martine GContelli – The Netherlands – 02/08/10 10:35 AM Hello dear Juliana ,
First of all, I wish you a happy 2010 :)
I saw a documentary of you as well yesterday on television. It was so emotional for me. It's so great you
have the greatest ,caring parents in the world.I wish you all the best of luck with all the hospital care and a brightful future:))) You are really an angel !Keep smiling! Bye Juliana,
With love, Giuseppe . Natasja – The Netherlands – 02/08/10 8:25 AM Hi Juliana,
Your name is the same as the former queen of the Netherlands. Keep that in mind as you grow older. Queen Juliana was a strong woman that has had to deal with hard decisions, but she always stood tall.
I so do respect you and your parents. To them I would like to say: I admire the strenght and perseverance with which you build a life for your amazing daughter!
Keep it up!
Natasja Ingrid Geurts – Venlo, The Netherlands – 02/08/10 8:17 AM Hi Juliana,
I've just saw a documentary about you. I think you are a wonderful person and it's great you are going to a normal school where you can show all the kids your personal energy. Your smile is so beautiful on it's own way, it shows how you're standing in life. I will follow you on this website. When you will get another surgery I will cross my fingers and burn a lucky candle for you.
Kind regards,
Ingrid
Alicia – The Netherlands – 02/08/10 6:28 AM Hey Juliana (what a beautiful name!)
I just saw your documentary and I have to say how brave I think you are. I have lots of respect for your everylasting smile and your courage.

I wish you and your family all the best. Lots of love

Melissa – South of Boston – 02/02/10 7:42 PM Oh- and if you ever come to the Boston area, there's a ton of fun things to do for families- we'd love to show you around! Melissa – South of Boston – 02/02/10 7:30 PM Hi Wetmore family!
I first learned of your family several years ago; I watched a documentary about baby Juliana.
What struck me the most was the strength and love that everyone in your family has for one another. Both your girls are so fortunate to have you as parents.
I am so glad I found this site. I will check in often. Thank you for sharing your family and Juliana's life with everyone.
I have kept your entire family in my thoughts and prayers every day since I saw that film. I am so glad I found this site and that I can see how well Juliana is doing.
SHe's growing up so quickly! I have two little girls as well and I now understand how quickly time goes by. (I love the dresses the girls are wearing, btw. Very pretty.)
Well, Thank you for sharing your life. Your family and Juliana are a true inspiration to all. Much love, Melissa Sherri – St. Louis, MO – 02/02/10 12:33 PM Hi Juliana!
Can you find St. Louis on the map? We are kind of smack dab in the middle. I have kept up with your progress on the TV documentaries and am continually impressed at what a confident, smart, and FUNNY young woman you are. Take good care—your family is wonderful.
Fondly, Sherri Wassana Kline – Yokota AB Japan – 02/02/10 10:17 AM Juliana I am a BIG fan of yours. You inspired me in many many ways and of course you are my HERO!
Be strong baby you are "almost" there!!!
Russell Silvey – Ft Lauderdale FL – 02/02/10 4:14 AM I have seen two shows about little Juliana's life in the past few years. She is an amazing little girl. She is blessed, beyond words, with a wonderful mother and father.
I think about this little girl quite often, and I am glad that there are so many out there who would bring her well-wishes online.
I wish Juliana the best, as well as her mother and father, who are dedicated to giving their daughter an attempt at a normal life. And dont forget Kendra, the best little sister in the world. :)
Thank you for inspiring me, and teaching me that no matter how big the obstacles in my life are, there is always someone else who's obstacles are bigger. Watching Juliana has put my problems in perspective, and every day i wake up, I wish could have half of the motivation and will to life that she had. Brian – Arkansas – 02/02/10 12:12 AM I watched your show last night on Discovery. You are such a very strong little girl and your family is behind you I think that you can and will be able to accomplish anything with your life. Tammy Read – Noel Missouri – 02/01/10 11:32 PM Juliana I still admire you a great deal.

I have surrender my life to the Lord and God has his hand on me, and I enjoy what God teaches me each day.
But the biggest change came when I saw Juliana a beautiful girl and I say that because God opened my eyes that day, and opened my heart so much I was overwhelmed with compassion and love that I believe she changed my affection for all mankind. Yes you did!

Alan Darbe – Michigan – 02/01/10 3:10 PM Juliana,
It was a balmy 7 degrees this morning. I can't imagine that you would want to leave sunny Florida for the wintry climate of Michigan.
It has been awhile since I looked in on you. Last night, the Discovery Channel (I think) had your 5 year show on. I had not seen it before.
It was amazing to see how well you have developed your ability to communicate.
The show did a could job of showing the effort it takes you and your Mom and Dad to keep on going. I am not sure that I could do it.
God Bless all of You.
Lots of Hugs
Alan Tom Mellish – London, United Kingdom – 02/01/10 1:32 PM Juliana is an incredibly courageous girl, the bravest I've ever seen.

on Discovery Health channel. You are
a wonderful and very brave little girl.
Your parents are so wonderful too. I
truly love all of you and wish the very
best life has to offer for you and your
parents. To me you are beautiful and
I love you and your brave spirit. God
bless you and your parents. Allen Sarah Dolejs – Apple Valley, MN – 02/01/10 12:11 AM Hello Juliana,
I just watched your special tonight. I am so touched by your families wonderful spirit. You have such caring and loving parents. Your sister Kenra is so nice too. I wish you the best in 2010. Stay as sweet as you are!
Sarah,
A supporter from Minnesota Fran Basche – Natick, MA – 01/31/10 10:55 PM Hello Juliana and family,
I'm watching a story about you all on TV right now while in a motel in AZ. I'm waiting to go back home to MA to see my own daughter, her name is Rosie she is almost 14.
I was feeling really worried because while I was on this business trip my Rosie had a seizure. Luckily she is okay; we need to figure out why she had this problem. She has autism too, so her brain works a little bit differently. I guess some people look a little different on the outside, some on the inside. But really, we are all the same.
Watching this show about you tonight is helping me feel brave about whatever medical issues my little girl is facing.
If you ever want to have another girl to write to, I'll bet my Rosie would love to do that with you. You might be a little better at reading and writing than Rosie, even though you are younger than her.
You are a beautiful girl. What a wonderful gift you are to your family. I will continue to be inspired by you and your family.
As parents of kids with special needs, we didn't think we would be on this complicated and sometimes bumpy journey. But there is always joy, and love.
Namaste (that means "the divine light in me sees the divine light in you")
Fran

Tom and Barb McIntosh – Cleveland, OH – 01/31/10 4:16 PM Just saw your story on Discovery Health and wanted to tell you what an inspiration you are! So much to go through for a young person and you're exuberance for life is apparent.
Praying for you all .. may God continue to use you and bless you many many times over! Fran Brookshire – Gray Court, SC – 01/31/10 4:04 PM I have followed Juliana's story on television since birth. I cannot tell you how beautiful she and your other daughter are, too. But, what strikes me to the core is how strong your family unit is. Both Mom and Dad are just amazing with their endless love and devotion. She is so bright, and dance and sports. She is truly amazing. Julianna you were sent here by God for many reasons, and one has been to teach a 38 yr. old single mother of an adoped 5yr. old how lucky I am to be blessed with a daughter. You are truly stupendous!
I have never done anything like this about writing to someone with an extraordinary story before, so know how VERY MUCH you've touched me. William Simmons Jr. – DFW, Texas – 01/31/10 3:31 PM What a precious little girl! Not only is Juliana's life an inspiration to us all, but her parents' unconditional love and determination should be an example for us all to follow.
{{{{ Hugs }}}} Eliana Toscano – São Paulo-Brazil – 01/31/10 8:21 AM I saw your history in Youtube and I trought: "Oh, my God, this mother didn´t think to miscarry." I do not accept the abortion, have two children and I never thought about this. Juliana is a pretty child, with a inigualável brightness! I folloied history in the videos and searched in the Internet. I am teacher in Brazil and education for my pupils not to have preconception and discrimination here. I wait to receive more notice its! Kisses! siroshini – -Nil- – 01/31/10 8:03 AM Dear Juliana,
siroshini here!! i would like to wish you all the best... In life, i will always pray for you.. and i am extremely happy that i came across this web site.. If i could help you with something... i will thank the god that he gave me a chance.. wish you luck. Always smile....
-SIROSHINI- Nessa – Missouri – 01/31/10 12:19 AM I just watched your video on youtube today about Juliana. I want to tell you Juliana, that you are the most beautiful little angel i've ever seen!
I cried thru the whole video because I read that people are sometimes mean to you.
I cannot believe how many cruel people there are in this world, but your courage and strength is such an inspiration. I have to tell you I look up to you, and i'm 25 years old.
I love all the pictures your mommy has put here that show you doing ballet, going to the zoo, playing golf...Don't EVER let anyone tell you you can't do something! Dance your heart out, putt that ball, and smile the whole time.
Sweetheart, God loves you and He always will. Just from your pictures I can see love radiating from you that is unbelievably warm and true. Don't ever let anyone tell you you aren't a beautiful girl. —"There could never be a more beautiful you!!"
God bless you little beautiful angel, and I will keep you in my prayers. Tammy Read – Noel Missouri – 01/30/10 11:40 PM Honey you are sooooooooooo adorable! You ever in these neck of the woods feel free to stop by and say hi.
To your mom and dad I say that I have a special poem that was given to me when my daughter was little ( she is 19 now) that I am gonna post on here for you. My daughter wasnt supposed to see her 1st b-day, doctors wanted me to put her in a home and forget about her, I didnt I stayed strong and determined and I am so very glad that you are also.
God's blessings to all of you Karen A. Fisk – Glendora – 01/30/10 10:24 PM Hi Juliana- I must say that you are the cutest little thing I have ever seen! You are also one of the smartest. There is nothing you can't do! I admire you for all you have gone thru and keep shining- I know it is hard now but it will all be worth it- you are a beautiful little blossom- Kendra- you are the best big sister anyone could ask for. I am a big sister too but I can learn alot from you! Juliana is lucky to have you. Juliana, you have all taught the rest of the world about living!! I can't wait to see you on TV again. love Karen Diane Brown – Fort Drum, NY – 01/30/10 4:08 PM I have watched your journey on the Discovery Channel and just had to contact you and let you know that I consider this whole family to be heroes.

I love Juliana and her family and I am extremely joyful that I came across this site. I wish I could do much more to help you. I will try to do my best. Juliana, I am very happy that you are doing well because that is totally awesome. I will pray that you can continue to do well and I will pray for your doctor too.
So please stay well!!!
Love,
Melissa Jasmiine Rey Lori Lee – Tennessee – 01/29/10 10:36 PM Juliana, I have seen you on tv. I recently heard on a local christian radio station, that someone made a beautiful video with your pictures to the song of "More Beautiful You". I watched it and now I am here. I am an Occupational Therapist in schools here in Middle Tennessee. I could only be so blessed to have you touch my life. I know some people do not understand why you have to do things different in your life, but I always learn so much from working with my kiddos (as I call them) by the persistence and strength they have when they have to learn to do things different. You have a wonderful Mommy and Daddy and family and nurse and I am sure you have wonderful doctors and therapists too! You have such a beauty about you that I love to see! You are a very sweet and precious little girl! I hope to be able to visit here sometimes and learn of your progress and growth. Thank you so much for sharing a part of your life with me! Such a hero you are! Kelly Craig – Cropper, KY – 01/28/10 10:26 PM I have been watching you since you were born. You were a beautiful baby and have grown into an even more beautiful young lady. I can't wait to see what you have in store for the world someday. I know you are going to do great things. Much love from Kentucky! kirstie russell – london – 01/28/10 3:12 PM hi hunii

This world can be pretty harsh.. But its the hearts of strong willing people who make a difference. there should be no shame into thinking life is a bad place to be.
If you find the right people, friends, That's what the world is really about. People like you, where given a gift. Something no one has.
People are jealous of it =)
I'd be your best friend if i lived near you. A girl like you given a chance is this world. I couldn't have asked for anything better~
Stay strong, Happy, Brave, and no fears~ <3
Krissy Annaliese – O h i o. – 01/27/10 11:11 PM Hello Juliana. I happened to come across a video on youtube of you. Pretty little one. ♥
I just wanted to say that you are such an adorable girl, and you should always be proud of yourself. Stay happy. Don't let anyone get you down. And no matter what always be yourself, because you are such a beautiful girl& person. : )

Sincerely
Laney (nickname) Sara Florez – Hanford, Ca. – 01/26/10 8:17 PM I just happened to stumble across this website while I was on You Tube watching a video by Jonny Diaz "More Beautiful You"... I am so touched by Juliana's story... I can't even think of the words to express how I am feeling right now... Just by the pictures I can tell Juliana is a high spirited, outgoing little girl... beautiful, beautiful, beautiful... Amazing... May God continue to bless you and your family... Jemima Lipari – Plainfield, Illinois – 01/25/10 10:33 PM We recorded the Discovery program and watched it with our three children tonight. Juliana is incredible, Kendra has the heart of an angel, you are both breathtaking parents and Jeanne is fabulous.
Thank you so much for sharing your lives with the world. You are, individually and collectively, the most inspirational people we have ever had the privilege to witness.
Carrie Huston – Fort Hood, TX – 01/25/10 9:25 PM My name is Jackson and I am 8 years old. I watched part II of your show, and I think that Juliana is getting a lot better. Her story makes me kind of sad, but also happy that she is getting better. I hope that someday she'll be able to talk and eat properly. She is very brave. Please tell Juliana that I said "Hi!". Mica – Netherlands – 01/25/10 7:41 PM Juliana is such a lovely girl. I really admire you and your family.
I really love to read what Juliana is doing, how she wakes her sister with a pillow :)
Big hugs!! xxx Mica sammy – UK – 01/25/10 4:53 PM You have a beautiful girl. she is a sweet sweet girl. it mass be hard 4 juliana to have a opp on her face. but she is a very beautiful girl i would never change her for the world Jennifer B. Jones – Sumter, SC – 01/25/10 4:29 PM Hi there! I saw the discovery show last night and had to say to your family that I've never had such a strong feeling about another child just as I feel for my children. I love your family and I love juliana! ya'll are in my prayers! jones Ursula Page – Thomasville, GA – 01/25/10 10:35 AM Hi there! I was listening to the Christian radio station talk about Juliana and the slideshow made to the song More Beautiful You and I just had to come and see your site. Juliana is such a beautiful little girl with such a happy and sweet spirit. I am a photographer and I was just thinking how awesome it would be to take your family's pictures and let Juliana play dress up in all the princess tutus and pettiskirts I have. Then, I looked and I guess you are in Jacksonville which is only a few hours away from me. I would love to photograph your family if you would ever like that and make the drive to Jacksonville to do so. It would be a blessing for me to provide my services to your family. You can check out my website at www.ursulapagephotography.com and my contact information is on there. Tonya Creel – Texas City, TX – 01/25/10 2:05 AM I see the face of God when I look at Juliana and her family. Beautiful. jamie shortes – N. Tustin, CA – 01/25/10 1:36 AM Just saw your family on Discovery Health Channel. Juliana's Story touches my heart in a very special way. My first child a son has severe Autism, and is a very loving child despite his challenges. I also have a 23 month old baby girl whom was born with a hemangioma on her face by her eye. It was small when she was born, but grew a lot over time. Lilli had her surgery when she was 7 months old. It was getting too big and too close to her eye. She is also on the Autism spectrum. Delayed in speech and other areas. They are both in therapy and I hope to help them as best I can. Tami you are a very special Mommy. Your an inspiration to me. I hope Juliana continues to thrive and be happy & healthy. She is such a little sweetie. Kristin Rogers – DeBary, Florida – 01/24/10 10:51 PM You have a beautiful family! The love and devotion you share is so evident and uplifting. Should Juliana ever need blood before a surgery, I would be happy to donate mine. I'm O- and can donate to anyone who also has negative blood. I live just 2 hours south of Jacksonville. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. And please give the precious Juliana a big hug and kiss. Tori Salazar – Texas – 01/24/10 10:39 PM I just watched your beautiful daughter on discovery health....what an amazing testimony she will have. You are truely blessed with 2 beautiful girls! Susan Ryan – Sullivan, MO – 01/24/10 9:33 PM Thank you, Juliana, for sharing your story with the world. You are a beautiful, brave, and incredible person. I pray for you often. I'm glad I found your website and can see pictures of you and hear about the things you're doing. I was looking through your pictures and saw that you got to pet a dolphin. How lucky for you! I've always wanted to do that!
Thank you again for your website. I'll be sure to check in often to see how you are doing.

We don't know what to say, but you make us cry happy tears. You and your family are so loving and full of life. We loved learning about you and thinking about what you might be up to, now! God bless you all! <3 <3 <3 Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, N.Y. – 01/19/10 10:11 PM Holy moly!!!!! You've almost had a million visitors!?!?!? I'm sorry for not posting in so long, but it's pretty crowded in here! I was reading "Party's" journal and I have to say that I disagree with Kendra about your being "just a regular kid"—YOU'RE WAY COOLER THAN MOST REGULAR KIDS!!! You and that sissy of yours are out of this world crazy cool kids!! I've always told you that I SEE YOU...I SEE YOU. You're one of the most radiant spirits that I've ever had the privilege of meeting. I miss you—Alicia keeps telling me that she "needs to go visit Juliana & Kendra". I do too! I'm really hoping that we can see you all again soon. Love & goofy smooches,
Yvette stephanie ross – plainfield indiana – 01/19/10 1:50 AM Juliana,

I hope you and your family had a lovely holiday!!
When I looked at your website over the weekend, I heard the beautiful song that Skip Ewing wrote for you! How cool is that? I love the song and I downloaded it onto my iPhone and sent the link to all my friends. I love telling people about you because you are such an inspiration to me. Stay strong and happy, little sweetheart!!
Lots of love,
Jeanine xoxo
Tim Bray – Ohio – 01/18/10 11:33 AM Your story is truly inspiration. With this week being the Sanctity of Human life week, I want to extend a encouraging comment of gratitude for all you have gone through for your child. She is beautiful! Have you ever heard the song, "More Beautiful You," by Johnny Diaz? If not, you should youtube it. Let it be a constant reminder of how beautiful your child is. I know she has a bright future with Godly parents as yourself. Thank you for making this website and sharing her story. She'll be in my prayers. Robin Guyor – Michigan – 01/17/10 8:28 PM Hi, my name is Nicole. I'm 9 years old. I just wanted to say hi to Juliana, and hope she feels better. I know it's not fun having surgery.

I hope all of your dreams come true.♥♥ April Albritton – tampa FL – 01/15/10 11:42 PM Still praying and hope everything is going well , God bless!

Christian Rothenbuehler – Singapore – 01/12/10 11:06 AM Dear Juliana,
Never has a story about a person I have not even met before, touched my heart the way you did. I was watching the documentary yesterday evening and it hasn't left my mind since.
The way you (and your family) are handling the challenges and obstacles thrown at you is nothing short of remarkable and a testimony to the beauty of love and life itself.
I truly hope that you keep walking through your life with the positive attitude and an open heart. And for those days, when the going gets tougher and the pain seems greater, never forget that your courage and strength is a real inspiration for everybody that was priviliged to hear your story.
I wish you love and good health for 2010 and beyond.
Keep inspiring! Love
kattie – Singapore – 01/12/10 1:42 AM I watched the documentary on Juliana's story on TV last night. My heart aches that she has to go through so much at such a tender age. Juliana is indeed a very special child with a beautiful and endearing personality. Her strength, courage and sunshine personality shines thru. God Bless her and all her love ones. Autumn Nance – Wichita, Ks – 01/11/10 11:55 PM Hello!! I saw the remarkable story on TLC and thought of what an amazing family you all are! As parents you seem very involved in her life which is absolutely wonderful to see! Both of your younger daughters also seem to have bonded in a way sisters really should (though I am an only child and can only think of sisters in such a way that they are perfect). My mom is a special education assistant director in the area and i have to say, she was quite interested in Juliana's story. Of course, relaxing in our basement, I too joined in on the TLC special. I fell in love with how much Juliana must go through with all of her surgeries and absolutely applaud her for all the strength she has. I'm sure the love and support of those around her help! While I myself have been slightly nervous over the upcoming "wisdom teeth outing" as I like to call it, this story completely shot down any worry I had about the process. If Juliana can go through much much more than this, this should be a piece of cake and I should not even put a second thought on it. Also, I plan on sharing Juiana's story with my class at school as I know I am not the only one to find her story to be absolutely wonderful! Everyone in Juliana's life is amazing and I want to give it up to all of you. I believe God sent the right people to the right place.
Many prayers and much love being sent your way,
Autumn kathy – Earlsboro,oklahoma, USA – 01/11/10 7:12 PM Hi Juliana !! You are such a special little girl.

Brandy – Omaha Nebraska – 01/03/10 11:37 PM I have just been memorized by this touching story and I am just thankful that I am not the only person going through such a crazy time. My son just turned 2 on Christmas day of 2009 and then 5 days later under went his 9th surgery. I am in the hospital room as we speak praying that we get to go home tomorrow but a fever may keep us from doing so. My son has something called OCC syndrome and something else that I can't spell I can only say it. It is where he has a nose but the inside were you can't see it didn't form correctly so he has a trach for breathing and a feeding tube as well. He just underwent his cranial reconstruction surgery only the 1st of many so we still have a long haul. I wish you the best!

Your beautiful heart and spirit absolutely shine forth in your pictures. And I think the pics of you and your sister are some of the sweetest I have ever seen. God bless you and your family. Erika Koundry – Long Valley, N.J. – 01/02/10 12:14 PM Juliana and family...My husband Tom came across your story while working as a police Lieutenant for the city of East Orange. He came home and shared your story with us. We were all so touched by the courage of Juliana, what a sweetheart. What an amazing family you are and so lucky to be blessed with two beautiful girls. If your ever in N.J. look us up, we'd love to meet you guys. I will continue to pray for your family and have started a prayer chain..with the power of prayer..all things are possible. Take care and God bless, Erika Koundry Katherine Birkett – Boston, Lincolnshire UK – 01/02/10 7:56 AM Hey there Juliana!
I have heard all about all the procedures you've been having lately; keep fighting Juliana!
Are we likely to see any updated pictures of what Juliana looks like now? I would be very keen to see new pics! Arianne Ong – Davao, Philippines – 01/01/10 8:04 PM I've just known everything about this last night while I was randomly viewing videos in Youtube. It's my first time to hear about this Treacher Collins syndrome. It must have been tough for you Juliana, but I'm very glad that you are strong and determined. I can't describe how happy I am to have met a bright girl like you. I just can't thank you enough for changing my point of view in life. Nothing in life was, is and will be perfect, but only through imperfections we see its beauty, such as the love of God and everyone around us.
More power to you and your loved ones. God bless you always! :D Jickson Ng – Malaysia – 01/01/10 2:34 PM I just found out about Juliana when I came across a video on youtube today and almost got moved to tears. Juliana, u're so adorabley! It's really great to see u being happy n in such high spirits! I will keep u and ur family in my prayers, n hope for the best n that u'll keep smiling always. You're an inspiration to all of us!!! God bless u! Michael Soegaard – Denmark, Scandinavia – 01/01/10 12:59 PM Hello Juliana and family. I like to say that I´m new on what you are going through. You must be proud as you have so great parents, who agree on what to do. They even let you speak for yourself as well. You, Juliana, (and your family), are so lucky to have a big place in many peoples hearts, all over the world. God Bless you and your family. Gail Zeolla – Michigan – 12/30/09 12:27 AM I'm so sorry I haven't written, I lost this site on my laptop and finally found it tonight on my husbands computer. I hope you all had a really nice Christmas, I was thinking of all of you so much. I'm so glad Juliana is able to hear,,,what great news!

Happy New Year Juliana and family.
I have yet to watch your documentary.
I have only read your story. The happy pictures speak for themselves. Ross Lerner – Louisville, KY – 12/30/09 12:09 AM I stumbled across this site while researching a medical condition (unrelated). I have been captivated and spent time reviewing the story, posts and pictures. I really don't have any specific to say, and that is not like me, nor is it like me to post messages..especially when registration is required.. :) But, I am filled with a sense of love and awe...and I feel quite humble. G-d Bless your Juliana and your entire family, and may each day bring new success and happiness. nick hook – leeds .u.k. – 12/28/09 4:04 PM saw your documentry on tv a few months ago and was really touched by what your going thru.i hope everything going ok.hope you had a good thanks giving and a christmas(if you celebrate it)our thoughts are with you love lots nick and vicki Harrianne Johnson – Cullman, AL – 12/27/09 9:36 PM Hey, Sweet Juliana!
I think about you so much and wish that some day I'll be blessed enough to meet you in person! I am so glad to be out of nursing school for the holidays. It is such hard work and we all are so tired. A holiday gives us a nice break. It's all worth the hard work because one day I'll be working with precious children like you and that is exciting to me! Children have always been my life...you probably don't remember from earlier posts, but I used to teach elementary school.
I think it is so cool that you can hear so well now with your new implants. You are such an amazing little angel! God has so much in store for you! You are the most incredible little girl in the world to me! God has truly blessed the whole wide world with you and your family, including Party!
I love you, little sweetheart! You are so beautiful!
I know you had a wonderful Christmas! I'm sure Santa left you lots of fun stuff! I used to get so excited on Christmas Eve that I could hardly go to sleep! Then, after I finally fell asleep, I would be so tired from trying to stay awake that I would end up wetting my bed! Isn't that funny?! Thank goodness I stopped! I do get tickled when I think about it though!
I hope you have a wonderful week! You are the most precious little girl ever!!!
Love you bunches and bunches!

P.S. My mommy helped me write this. Please write back soon. Katie Chong – Hong Kong – 12/27/09 2:21 AM Dear Juliana
I just been watching your story on YouTube. You are such a sweetheart!! I'm so happy tou can hear better now. It takes more to endure whatever you've been through and will go through. Your parents are awesome! What a wonderful family you have!!
I wish you and your family a Merry Chritmas and Happy New Year!! May all surgeries will go smoothly and successfully!
Katie Lorraine Pozniak – Valley Village, CA – 12/26/09 6:23 PM Thanx for the wonderful news in your update, "Party". Juliana is blessed to have such a wonderful caregiver as you!
I'm so happy that Juliana's hearing has improved; it will be important in the future development of her communication skills. She is truly a little miracle!
Happy Holidays and a Healthy New Year to you, Juliana, and her entire family. Melissa W – Portland, OR – 12/26/09 4:34 PM Never before has there been a more perfect display of uncoditional love and support than by the Wetmore family. Mom is so nurturing and loving.... as well as Kendra and Dad. So many are touched by your strength and your story. Your dedication and tenderness with Juliana is priceless.... Blessings to all of you. Keep the faith! Rick – CANYON LAKE – 12/26/09 5:21 AM MERRY CHRISTMAS JULIANA!
I MISS YOU SOOOO MUCH!
Hope You, Your Family, And Nurse Jeanne Had An Awesome Christmas.
Luv U Always,
Rick Amy McCool – Iowa – 12/26/09 3:08 AM Juliana, today I watched your story, and watching you cry, scared before your surgeries, watching how hard that was for your mom, I cried with you. You sweet, brave little girl... You have the most beautiful little giggle, and I wish I had the chance to know you.. Stay strong, your are an amazing, beautiful girl... All my love to you... Virginia Seybold – Austin, Texas – 12/26/09 3:05 AM Juliana!
You are such a brave little girl; you inspire me in so many ways! I see you on the television often and it always breaks my heart to see you so sad when you go to the hospital. I wish there were something we could do to take away your fear! I've worked in a doctor's office before and I always worked so hard to make everyone not afraid. But you know what the good thing is? You have an amazing mommy and an amazing daddy and an amazing sister, not to mention some super duper doctors and nurses who all love you SO much, and they will always be there for you! They'll be there for you to help you always. You need never be afraid with them around because they would never ever let anything bad happen to you.
It's the middle of the night, and Christmas is over now. I hope Santa has brought you everything you wished for! I'm super sleepy, so I'm going to bed. Night night, sweetheart! Take care.
Ginny James Leesley – bellevue NE – 12/26/09 12:12 AM (You have an Awesome website) Hello from Bellevue (city next to Omaha).Merry Christmas. I 1st seen the show about Juliana for when she was 1st born, I just seen the 5 years later show tonight. 1st~ please tell your husband "Thank you for serving," (military). & I have to say, he seems like an Awesome father. Lil Juliana is a trooper, a gift from Jesus just like my daughter is & my grandson is. My heart is w/ her not because of what she may look like or not, but because when Jesus looks at her (& you, your husband, your older daughter, me, Cindy, CJ & everyone else) he feels PROUD because we all are "gifts." Keep up the great work mom & dad, we're all here together down here. gaby sotomayor – homestead, fl – 12/25/09 11:24 PM hi juliana! im an 11 year old girl and i just finished watching a documentary of your life. im so inspired by all the things you have done and the strength that you and your family has. wish you the best in school, and life.... MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! best of luck, gaby and her family :) Daisy W – Elkton, MD – 12/25/09 11:18 PM Wetmore Family,
I just finished watching your story on the Discovery Health Channel, and it touched my heart deeper than anything I have ever seen before. The strength and love that your family has is remarkable. Juliana was an angel sent to your family there is no doubt in my mind. I am normally not effected by many things, but that beautiful, amazing, bright little girl of yours has touched my heart deeply. She gives others strength, hope, and is an inspiration.
I wish your family all the love and happiness in the world. She is lucky to have such a wonderful family!
Merry Christmas!
Thank you,
Daisy W. kari – raleigh nc – 12/25/09 10:58 PM Oh my goodness you little angel. I am watching your story for the first time on Discovery health.
Thank you for sharing your story. What an amazing gift you are on this Christmas.
God Bless you, Juliana. God bless your whole family.
Your friend, Kari in NC. Terri DeWitt – Indiana – 12/25/09 10:52 PM Hi all! Happy Holidays! You are truly an amazing family! and Juliana you are a strong and beautiful little girl! Good luck to all of you on your quest, you have come along way and I hope that your goals are well delivered! God Bless you all! Linda Horner – Madeira Beach Florida – 12/25/09 10:19 PM Juliana,
Nurse Jeanne also said that you did not have a big list for Santa and was in more of a giving mood than receiving. Good for you as one of the things Christmas is all about. The first thing is celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ our Savior.
The Lord has blessed you and your family ( Nurse Jeanne too) in so many ways. He has also been the guiding hands for Dr. Wolfe and his team in helping you and all the other children.
Linda Kimberly Caputo – Lovettsville, VA – 12/25/09 10:08 PM Dear Wetmore family,
Merry Christmas! May the Lord continue to bless your family. You all are in my prayers and thoughts.
"The Lord bless you and keep you;the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace."
-Numbers 6:24-26
Love, Kimberly Linda Horner – Madeira Beach FL – 12/25/09 9:42 PM Juliana,
Nurse Jeanne has shared some wonderful news in her recent post. In her posting she said you have had some surgeries recently and can hear normally thanks to the Cochlear implants. She also said that with your implants the connections are better than what you had with your hearing aids and that also makes it better for you to hear.
I hope you and your family and Nurse Jeanne had a blessed Christmas and willl have a prosperous New Year.
Linda Györgyné Zima – Budapest,Hungary – 12/25/09 8:43 PM Sweet Juliana and her family!Best wishes for 2010!!!It's exremely good to see how the family takes care of her!All my respect,she deserves the best!!

Merry Christmas! Alma Carey – Burbank, California – 12/19/09 10:39 AM How about the different types of stem cell growths? I'm not an expert, but maybe the cells can be directed to form the missing parts of the bone, etc, bit by bit? It could possibly be built up like the way sculptors do it.
Has anyone looked into that?
I'm so happy she can hear now!!!
Yayy!

Andre – Windsor, Ontario, Canada – 12/16/09 9:06 AM Merry Christmas Wetmore family!!
I just read your latest entry by Nurse Jeanne. What great news to hear normal hearing is a part of her life now. It is both sad and encouraging to hear about all the surgical procedures. My daughter just turned 8 and Julianna sounds like they are more and more alike everytime I read your updates. Wow would they get along like clones. And more interested in the giving part? Julianna.... you truly do have alot to show this cold old world. Christ bless your holidays!!! ely cardenas – sinaloa, Mexico – 12/15/09 9:39 PM Hi wetmore family

christine Poole – North Carolina – 12/15/09 12:54 PM Dear Wetmore Family,
Your story warms my heart while it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for showing the world the power of love and family. I'm certain you find many days are more difficult than others. But you have reminded me, at at time when I needed to remember, that God wants us to believe in each other. And when the hurting becomes to much, to reach out and be held by those that love us. To Juliana's parents: your courage has inspired me and calms my soul. Thank you for sharing your life with others. Have a blessed Christmas! Kim – Fall River, MA – 12/15/09 8:36 AM Merry Christmas Juliana & Family!! I was so happy to read Nurse Jeanne's update.

God must love u much n u'r family dear....i'm crying while reading a story of u. U'r great...i'm speachless.....there's no word can describe how i feel bout u dear....Love u ^^ Carolina Rentes – Brazil – 12/01/09 5:17 PM Hello guys,
Well, my name is Carol, and as you can see, I'm from Brazil. I jus wanna
thank this amazing girl called Juliana, and also Tami and Thom Wetmore, for always put the news and pictures showing that my favoriter heroin continues to surprise us all, every day. It's been a long time that I follow your story trough the website and the reason is in the fact of she has became my source of inspiration, it gives me strength to keep fighting too. I am now twenty years old, and three months ago I discovered that I have cancer again. It's been a little tricky because it is the second time I study all the year for joining a university, but in the end I am unable to take the exam. This time the depression came hard, and frankly, I thought a lot about giving up all this. But thanks to you Jully, and your parents, I decided to be brave too, treat me, and study even more next year, to one day I become a lawyer. By the way, she already knows what she wanna do when she grows up? Sorry to disturb you Tami, but in the end, I just want to say that your little angel has a friend eternally grateful, living in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil. And finally, I ask you a favor: Give a huge kiss on Juliana, and say it was from someone that despite living far away, is always rooting for her. Thank you again for everything, and a kiss to the whole family. Nikos Ath – Greece – 11/29/09 10:03 PM I just want to say hello. So hello :)
Grats to parents, keep the good work being good parents and so brave. You are heros. Karen Victoria Davenport – New York City – 11/29/09 3:32 PM Hello Juliana,
I hope you and your family and Jeanne had a great TG holiday! I was thinking of you all. Do you have a nice picture from Thanksgiving? I'd love to see one.
Any new members of the family yet?
Our weather isn't that cold yet.

~Olga and family alejandra calderon – colombia – 11/24/09 9:39 AM hola familia wetmore soy alejandra y soy de manizales, colombia la verdad la historia de su hija es hermosa me encanto cuando conoci de ella, la verdad juliana es un ejemplo a seguir para muchos jovenes y personas que se dejan derrotar ante cualquier obstaculo, gracias a todos ustedes por compartir la historia de su hija con el mundo entero por que esto servira de incentivo y ganas de luchar a muchas personas. un saludo para todos desde colombia deseandoles lo mejor en esta lucha incansable que es la vida. Dios los bendiga Clinton Grant – South Africa – 11/24/09 7:43 AM Dear Juliana and family. I think you are an amazing family. I have been watching the documentry on tv and although I find it very heart rendering it gives me peace that you are such wonderful people. Juliana, seems to overcome her condition with her wonderful character and her family by her side. While I watch I can see that she is going to have an amazing life as she seems to touch everyone in such a special way. To the family, I truly believe you have been blessed with this little girl. God bless you all. Cheers—Clinton! Lotta – Bullaren Sweden – 11/23/09 8:46 AM Hello dear Wetmore family!
I have been watching the documentary about Juliana and your family, and I have to say Juliana; that you are a brave little girl, and you have a fantastic family as well!
I have a 3 year old daughter who was born with a cleft lip and palate and to see her going through her surgerys are very difficult so I can only imagine what you are going through! I can only say that you are all an inspiration for me and makes our few surgerys a piece of cake when I think of all that you have been through!
So I will wish you Juliana and your lovely family all the best and keep inspiring so many people as you possibly can!
All the best Sincerely
Lotta Isberg, Sweden Barb – Hoquiam, WA – 11/22/09 10:16 PM I watched Juliana's story on TV this weekend and I was shocked to see that there was someone out there dealing with almost the same things my son John has been dealing with. John was born with no bone on the right side of his face, it is not Treacher Collins but the effects are the same. We have been through so many surgeries in his 17 years that I cannot even count. We have been through bone and skin grafts as well.
I was watching Juliana’s first year of school and remembering that John’s first years were the same as hers. John has now been with these same kids for 12 years of school and they are very protective of him, he has a ton of true friends. We had nurses also, he got rid of the nurses at the age 11, got his g-tube removed at 12 and he just got his trache out last April.
I just wanted you to know that it is never easy. It never gets easier to let them go into surgery. It never gets easier to hear people gasp as you walk by them. You will never forget the pain that you have went through all these years trying to do the right thing BUT you will always know that it was worth it. At 17, John is very smart, he is an honor roll student and has been mainstreamed in school since he was 7. He has accepted who he is and what he looks like is his life.
Feel free to contact me any time.
D Suarez – Virginia – 11/22/09 12:13 PM I wanted to let your family know how strong all of you are. I saw your episode on T.V. yesterday and I was really touched by it. I believe that the whole family will do just fine in the future and love will get you through anything and everything. Your story has inspired me to be closer with my family, because at the end of the day that is all you have. Barb – Iowa – 11/22/09 4:01 AM You and your family are a blessing! You show everyone the true meaning of love, hope, and devotion! How amazing! You show others daily, that life is a gift, and that with love... anything is possible! My god continue to give you "Little blessings" and large ones also! Juliana... you are an amazing spirit! You show everyone that life is great.... and you give so much love... and hope to all! Keep it going angel!!! You are sooo perfect!!! Thank you for sharing your story with us. Jennifer Liz\\\'s mom – Southern California – 11/22/09 2:23 AM I wanted you all to know that I've been so moved by Juliana's story. She a beautiful and remarkable young girl. I have never seen a family so loving and giving UNCONDITIONALLY. That is such a blessing and inspiration to so many others. You daughter will inspire other families to face their challenges head-on. My daughter Liz was born with Cystic Fibrosis and we had challenges with her health, countless surgeries and many many LONG hospital stays. I know that hardship of these challenges. Please know I and may others will pray for Juliana and your family to stay strong and remain healthy. Thank you for sharing her story with the world. I saw her on TV recently and I researched her on the internet. GOD Bless—Jennifer Hollie – Orange Park, FL – 11/21/09 11:52 PM I was at Van Zant park today with my girls, ages 6 and 4 for a birthday party. I think I saw Juliana on the playground. It's probably been a couple of years since I last saw her story updated on the news. If that was Juliana, please tell her that my girls would have liked to meet her. They saw the merry-go-round and stayed on it for about 20 minutes straight. I thought they were going to get sick from all the spinning, but they didn't. Whew! It was such a nice day out, wasn't it? I had never been to that park before and was surprised at how big it is. I think we'll go back sometime soon. Josemare Pinati – Brasil – 11/21/09 10:35 PM Oi,eu tenho 16 anos,vi a história de Juliana e me emocionei.Estaria aqui bem distante de vocês mas estarei sempre orando,rezando por Juliana e por tadas as crianças desse mundo!
Juliana:Desejo que você
Não tenha medo da vida.
Não há céu sem tempestades, nem caminhos sem acidentes.
Só é digno do pódio quem usa as derrotas para alcançá-lo.
Só é digno da sabedoria quem usa as lágrimas para irrigá-la.
Os frágeis usam a força; os fortes, a inteligência.
Seja uma sonhadora, mas una seus sonhos com disciplina,
Pois sonhos sem disciplina produzem pessoas frustradas.
Seja uma debatedora de idéias. Lute pelo que você ama.sou uma menina que sabe que todos os dias quando acordo não tenho mais o tempo,mas tenho muito tempo:temos todo tempo do mundo.Todos os dias antes de dormir,lembro e esqueço de como foi o dia:Sempre em frente,não temos tempo a perder.Nosso suor sagredo!
Somos tão jovens!Juliana saiba que você é muito especial para todo mundo.Estarei aqui torcendo por você!Beijos fica com Deus! Samantha Wilson – Indianapolis, IN – 11/21/09 4:50 PM Dear Wetmore family -
Congratulations! It makes me happy to see that you have such a strong family. It inspires me to become who I want to become. I want to help those like Juliana once I graduate from college.
I am a junior at IUPUI in Indianapolis. I am a biology major in hopes to becoming a geneticist. I saw your documentary on Juliana on discovery health today.
I just wanted to say that I am amazed at how brave and how strong Juliana is at such a young age and how she stuck through all of the surgeries and the hardships since day one.
I really believe that she has a big purpose in her life, and you're definitely helping her realize this by making it easier for her to live.
I would like to actually get to know you and the doctors that you work with in Juliana's case. I have loads of questions. I'm sorry if that seems weird, but I am really interested in how the Syndrome came to be.
You're welcome to e-mail me any time.
Congratulations on having such a strong family. She will be in my thoughts and prayers to keep continuing to push forward. Mary Elshaw – Ohio – 11/21/09 4:25 PM What a blessing you are to the world!! Amazing parents, a supportive sister, and your heart of gold....WOW! You have been an inspiration to our family. Your bravery and your beauty have brightened our day Juliana!! You'll remain in our prayers and our hearts. Keep up the great work at school and write back if you can find the time. Mary Elshaw~ Zoey – New Orleans – 11/21/09 4:17 PM Juliana ... such a pretty name for a beautiful little girl. I just watched you on TV and was captivated by your charming personality. I really wish that people would not call you "the girl with no face". That's not true. You *do* have a face...and it is your own, unique face. It may not be exactly the same as other people's faces, like your Mom or Dad,'s but that uniqueness, combined with your sweetness, makes *your* face very special. I think you are truly a beautiful child, full of goodness and love—and what's "inside"of a person is the most important thing about them, not what clothes they wear, the money they have, or how they look. Take care, angel. Love, Zoey. melissa wheat – illinois – 11/21/09 4:02 PM To Juliana: you are a beautiful little girl. Hopefully this will all be done one day with the doctors and the hospitals. I hope you have a truely wonderful life.
To Mom: you are an inspiration for every mother in the world. I'm watching Juliana on discovery health right now and my heart hurts to see what you and your family has had to go through. But as I told Juliana she is truely a beautiful little girl. God bless you and your family. You are a real hero for all who have kids. Chasity Hall – Bowling Green KY – 11/21/09 3:43 PM I am truly amazed at your story. I wish you and your family the best. Gigi – Europe - Austria – 11/21/09 7:58 AM Hello Family Wetmore,
I just want to wish you and your wonderful daughter luck and happiness for the future. Your story is amazing!
Greetings from Austria.

Cree Crawford Oscar Cedano – Anchorage, Alaska – 11/20/09 4:52 PM First of all let me say that I am a fan of your love and dedication.
This is a report of another patient whos 3/4 of skulll had to be recreated after being eaten by a bacteria. The point to it is that the front part of her cranium could be created by using Biomet Microfixation and by using a material called polymethyl methacrylate. I am attaching the link to his story. It is called: The unbreakable timmy Turner.

I hope this can help one day.
Oscar Salina – Edenton, NC – 11/20/09 10:57 AM You are an amazing mother. It brings tears to my eyes watching you have to let her go (into surgery). Also her big sister is absolutley wonderful. I have two children of my own, and the love and understanding she has for her little sister is something few mothers are blessed with. Juliana has touched so many. Your family is so beautiful. Susan Dubur – New Jersey – 11/19/09 11:19 PM Dear Tami and Thom:
I just watched the show on Discovery about your family and your wonderful kids. You are a truly inspiring family. The love you share is awesome and proves to me that you know that life in all its precious forms is just that, precious. May God bless you abundantly for making the right decision about Juliana's life. May He strengthen you and continually provide for your family. I was deeply moved by the show and could not stop crying, only because you renewed my faith in the human race. So many people would not have been so brave as you. I will keep you in my prayers and please know that our God is watching over you and is well pleased with you.
Take care and God bless you all,
Susan

Love,
Jeanine
xoxo
Dearest Tami,
I saw Juliana's story a few nights ago and I had to write to let you and Thom know that your beautiful family is in my thoughts and prayers. As the mother of a 12 year old girl, I am in awe of the strength and fortitude you have displayed on Juliana's behalf. What impressed me most about Juliana is her indefatigable spirit and boundless energy. She also appears to be quite confident and secure in who she is, an obvious tribute to your parenting. I wish you all health, happiness and continued success with the trials that lie ahead. I look forward to your blog updates on Juliana's progress.
Much love to you all,
Jeanine Emily – St. Louis, Mo – 11/17/09 11:48 PM I saw your story for the first time last night. I cried the whole time, and with those tears prayed for God to watch over you and your family. The strength you all carry on with every surgery and obsticle you encounter is amazing. It left me wondering if I have strength like that.
There are several reasons your story touches me, I am a mother myself. However when I was a child I had a friend, Caroline. She had an incredibly similar defect at birth. Instead of doing genetic testing they told her mother it was probably something she did early on in the pregnancy. I couldn't imagine a docotor giving me that guilt the rest of my life as I sat by my daughters side with each surgery. Caroline is now in her late 20's, as am I. I still remember having sleep overs together when we where young. She was a very good friend. While I haven't seen or spoke to her in many years, I still remember how amazing she was. It is amazing how far medicine has come.
I shared your story with my mother today, she is still in contact with Carolines family. I hope to share your story with them as well. Perhapes one day your families can speak and finally have someone that truely understands, first hand.
Much Love and Many Blessings.
-Emily Richmann Ritesh Nair – New York – 11/17/09 9:17 PM Hi Juliana,
I did not hear about your story until today, and as I read through it, I could only cry and pray.
Your story is not only one of courage and preseverance, but of character, love and reality. Many of us get exasperated with the little difficulties that we face in life, and I own up to some of them myself. Today, I hang my head in shame when I see your courage, and my heart swells in hope when I see the love around you.
There are many people who have you in prayer, and I will surely be one of them. We love you! God bless! Carley Shannon – Grand Rapids, MI – 11/17/09 7:06 PM Hello, my name is Carley and I have never heard of Julianna's story until today and I am incredibly touched by her story. She is such a beautiful young girl and I feel blessed to have found out about her journey. Tami, you and your husband are phenomenal people. You have such a great and strong family. Thank you for sharing your story to the world. My thoughts are with you.
Heath Stinson – Las Vegas Nevada – 11/17/09 3:44 PM Hi Juliana,
My wife and I just watched the rebroadcast of your story last night. We just felt compelled to write something. You are such an inspiring person as well as are your parents. We just wanted to say that we are so happy to see that you are doing GREAT!! You are a beautiful little girl and we are so glad to see your wonderul pictures and updates. Jacqui Odell – Alabama – 11/17/09 2:07 PM I watch Julianna's story every time I see it is on. She inspires me more every time I see her story. I take something new away with me every time. I would love to see a facebook page so I can always keep up with Julianna. We love you!! ann-maree jarrett – Utah USA – 11/17/09 12:31 PM Howdy Juliana!
I saw your story on the tv last night. I was very touched and moved. Juliana your inspirational. I wish you all the love happiness and God's blessings for a wonderful future.
Ann-maree Olga Snipes – Laurinburg, NC – 11/17/09 12:24 PM Hi Dear Family!
Yesterday watched your story on Discovery channel. From the very beginning I was shaking with tears, I kept saying "Bless her heart" throughout the programm. I am so touched with your courage and strengh I don't know if I could keep my sanity. I would give my face, my blood—anything to help your baby, I feel so sorry that she had to go through so much pain I want to check on how she's doing, would love to put her on our Xmas list!
Sorry if there's mistakes, my 1st language is Russian and I am still very emotional under impression of your story Kevin Wood – Phoenix, AZ – 11/17/09 12:26 AM I just finished watching the Discovery Health special about Juliana for the second time, and once again I feel more deeply touched than any words can ever describe. When they showed you clinging to your mom and dad before you went into your big surgery, the tears started flowing down my face—again. You are such a courageous and strong little girl, and you have such strong and loving parents.
I wish so much I could just give all of you a great big hug and tell you how much I love and appreciate all of you for sharing your touching story with all of us. Juliana, you truly are an inspiration to all of us, and your wonderful spirit and zest for life are proof to me that there is a Loving Spirit of the Universe and that it flows without interruption through you.
Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers always. And thank you for creating this site to keep those of us who love from afar updated on your condition. Many Blessings to you and your family. With much love—KW Christine – Kansas City, MO – 11/17/09 12:10 AM Wow!! I had never heard Juliana's story until tonight. I have a rowdy two-year-old, Westin, and on this show Juliana had her 2nd birthday. I saw her sweet little face and body, so much like my baby, and her awesome mom loving her so unconditionally that I just cried and cried and wished I could hold her, too. My mind was in bed with my sweet and wild boy who gives me a run for my money. I take for granted sometimes how easy my life really is. It was the providence of God that I stopped on that channel tonight, of that I am sure. What an inspiration! Juliana, you have a great mommy and your story has moved me so deeply. I will not forget easily. I will pray for you, Angel, and all those who love you. If for no other reason, God put you here for this—to prove He is real and all around us. stephanie mauldin – panama city florida – 11/17/09 12:02 AM I am laying in bed watching discovery health and am watching Juliana's story with my sister. This is the second time I have seen it and the second time I have cried. I have a son and a daughter and when Juliana is in the hospital getting prepped for surgery and she's upset and reaches up for her daddy it just hits me. I want to go pick my daughter up out of bed and hold her. You and your husband are inspirations for us all. Getting delt a difficult hand can sometimes tear families apart, but you are both wonderful people and obviously very strong. Congratulations on your two beautiful children and thank you for being an inspiration to us all. God bless you. You will always be in my prayers and I will always be watching for updates on Juliana's story. And if you are ever in the area I would love to meet your lovely family. Keep up the good work. amy beth – michigan – 11/16/09 11:40 PM Dear Juliana-
I love your photo of you wearing the blue tutu! I'm sorry you have to go through so many surgeries, but I can tell your family loves you very much and you are very strong people. I look forward to reading up on all the fun things you're busy with. You're a great kid! Have fun! Deana – Punta Gorda, FL – 11/16/09 11:37 PM Tami,
I was moved to tears by the story of your beautiful family. You are everything a mother should be...and so much more. Just as you are so lucky to have your precious girls, they are lucky and blessed to have you as a mother. Your family has made an emotional impact on me that will last forever. Thank you.
Deana Kendra Buckmaster – St. Augustine, Fl – 11/16/09 9:22 PM Hello there! I recently saw your family's amazing story on the Discovery Channel, and I was especially interested to hear that one of Juliana's sisters was named Kendra as well. There aren't too many of us out there, and I just wanted to say how impressed I was with the unconditional acceptance Kendra had for her little sister. It's a wonderful thing. Best wishes to all of you, and God Bless! kim ford – Nashville, Tennessee – 11/16/09 9:10 PM Just wanted to say I was very inspired by your story. What an amazing little girl and she has a wonderful family. Kera Brazier – Tennessee – 11/16/09 9:02 PM Amazing family! We too are a military family. (Army) You all are so brave and selfless. Letting the world into your home and into your private lives as well as serving your country. There are so many positive things to say about each one of you that I just don't know where to start! :) My daughter (8 yr old twin) is wanting to say hi to Juliana so badly. And her big sister too! So :::Waving HELLO to Juliana and Kendra::: from Emilia. :) I love your daughters' faces and smiles and their body language... you can tell they adore each other. I am in awe of all that you have been through and what is/will come but know that you have many thousands of people, myself included, praying for you and yours. You are amazing. You ALL rock! Thank you for your service and for letting us get to know your amazing daughter and her journey. Your strength is awe inspiring. ((love)) Jenny Williams – Millville, NJ – 11/16/09 8:54 PM Dear Julianna,
I feel as though I know you personally. GOD Bless you and you are in my prayers always. I think you are a beautiful little girl, inside and out.
I just had surgery on my spine, so I know it hurts, but I am being brave like you!!!!!
I hope you continue to have a great life, and I want you you to know, I always keep up with how you are doing.
My love to you and your family. Erhan Ozbýyýk – Antalya - TURKEY – 11/16/09 2:37 PM PEOPLE ARE OFTEN UNREASONABLE
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may just never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it's all between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

Tersia Tegmann – Douglasdale, SOUTH AFRICA – 11/16/09 6:02 AM Hi Wetmore Family

Tersia & Hendrik Shelia Lyon – Oklahoma – 11/15/09 5:55 PM You are right where you need to be, Miss Juliana. Blooming where you have been planted by God. You have touched my heart. God bless you and your amazing family. Penelope Boucher – France – 11/15/09 3:22 PM Hello—I just saw Juliana's story on Discovery Channel. What a beautiful, independant, kind and strong little girl you have and furthermore, it is absolutely lovely to see the strong family bond. Keep up the good work.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
Sarah Siesing – Jacksonville – 11/15/09 1:23 PM I saw you and your family at Nemours on Nov 2nd. I wanted to run up to you and give you a HUGE hug! I feel like I know you thru the TV shows and website.
My daughter has Partial Trisomy 18, and she was born with a cleft palate which caused moderate to severe hearing loss. She wears a BAHA just like Juliana! Same color and everything!
You are such a inspirational person. I want to thank you for that. I wanted to thank you in person at the hospital (I recognized Juliana and you right away) but I wasn't sure you would want to be bothered while you were trying to get in to see the dr.
Anyway, God is doing wonderful things with you and I wish I was as strong as you are in handling what he has given us! Jessica Minahan – Salem, OR USA – 11/14/09 5:27 AM Tami, I just want you to know that you are a wonderful and beautiful example of what true inner strength and love are! Juliana is the confident little girl she is because of you. Sisterhood is such a magical thing, and seeing your two girls together in the pictures is very touching. My two girls are 6 and 2-1/2. I watched Juliana's story back when she and my daughter were only 2, and I have had Juliana in my thoughts ever since. I was pleased to find this website. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Much love to you and your family. Steve Brewer – Fort Bragg, NC – 11/13/09 12:34 PM Hello! I saw your Discovery program on AFN last night and felt like I was seeing my own daughter. See, I am in the military just like your daddy and I am currently deployed, so I miss my little girl. She is special, too, because she was born missing half of her heart and has been through 13 surgeries. She gets scared at the hospital, too, but always pulls through. She tries to make the nurses disappear with her magic princess wand! Sometimes it even works.
I just think you two are a lot alike, and I even had a dream last night that the two of you met and became friends. She is 4 years old and has a big brother who loves her, but she is definitely the boss of him. I'll bet you are like that, too.
My best wishes to you and your family. abigail almi – Jakarta, Indonesia – 11/13/09 8:13 AM hai, just take a looked into your web, also have been viewing some of juliana's video on the internet.
i happens to look on the video where juliana was prepared to have ct scan, and my tears run.... i have a daughter, 2 years old. i know exactly how it feels to not able to do anything when your beloved one in that situation, i can even get mine to sit and stay still for her hands x ray, without her crying...
just want to let you know, God is good all the way.. my pray is with you all. God bless you... You are the example of God's love... unconditional... Sandrine Kayonga – Johannesburg, South Africa – 11/13/09 8:08 AM Juliana's story touched my heart and may she be surrounded by love always.It's beautiful to see how she's cherished by her family and her community.Kendra is a such a great big sister and a precious little girl.Nurse Jeanne is equally wonderful.You are a lovely family, an amazing group of people and your story truly moved me. Liezel Barrow – South Africa, Port Elizabeth – 11/13/09 6:30 AM You go girl...and your sister is just as awesome. You guys are in my thoughts and lots and lots of love from sunny SA. Will follow your progress.
Love
Lee Andre – South Africa, Pretoria – 11/13/09 1:56 AM Wow, dear Juliana and family, your family just got a whole lot bigger. I am an adult, strong, fit and blessed with a lovely wife and two amazing children. You and your family just humbled me with your strength and courage. You are such a beautiful part of this awesome creation of God. Thank you for sharing your life story. You are cool and inspiring. Lyndol Lyons – Cape Town South Africa – 11/13/09 1:46 AM Mr and Mrs Wetmore.
I am in awe of the two of you and take my hat off to you and your family .Julianna's story has touched my heart so deeply and has truely humbled me. You have taught me to be greatful and appreciate what I have. My son was born with cerebral palsy and I often found myself questioning "why", I have now realised that God places the heaviest load on those whom he knows can carry it. Love and light to you all. Tamika – Jamaica W.I. – 11/12/09 11:12 PM Hi Juliana baby, I came across your youtube video and I cannot stop looking at you. I printed a picture of you at work and showed you to my co-workers and I sat for minutes just looking at you. When I came home I decided to subscribe to your website because you are constantly on my mind, just wanting to know how you are doing.
I am trusting in God that very soon you will get better because you are a special and beautiful child; full of happiness and life...Keep it up baby girl :) I love you.
I really want to know what is going on with you now. Each time I read something successful about you I feel a sense of relief, that you are making it. I cried when I looked at you last night because all I was seeing was a little girl who deserve to be happy and life a normal life...and guess what baby girl with God's help you will :)
Keep strong and always pray to God and He will make all things possible for you and your family.
I hope we can be good friends and remember that you are a sweet little girl and God, your family, the world and I love you very much.
Whenever people say rude things to you, remember that you are larger than they are at heart, because you are brave enough to face your challenges not succumb by it. You an OVER-COMER and many people wouldn't dear survive what you have been through, but you have been through much and still going strong.
Cheers to you Juliana...hats off to you. Bubupower – Poland – 11/12/09 11:11 PM Hello Juliana.
I wish You everything the best. I want to be your friend. Be strong because You give us happiness and beauty. You are part of us. Remember, many people love you. Sandee Lloyd – Virginia – 11/12/09 9:07 PM I also saw your video when I was looking for "Beautiful You" on Youtube. And what a blessing. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You bring beauty and hope to a world that I sometimes wonder even knows what real beauty is anymore. I can't wait to meet you someday! It may not be in this life, but in Heaven. I'm sure I will have to wait in line behind a lot of other fans. Jesus loves you little girl and I know He is proud of you. By the way, I LOVE the Thing One and Thing Two costumes. I dressed my little boys up as Thing One and Thing Two when my youngest was your age, and I went as Cat in The Hat! cyhn – Illinois – 11/12/09 6:32 PM Juliana,
You are a very VERY beautiful little girl, and very popular too. :) I love seeing you in pictures, and am SO proud of you for being so strong! You have a great spirit, and a very amazing story. I hate it when I see something mean said about you on websites, it's not fair, and it's not true! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!Stay strong. :)
-Cyhn. Irem Alatas – Ankara, TR – 11/12/09 4:44 PM When I first saw Juliana and her family on Discovery Channel, I was very much moved by the fact that you are doing something that I would never have the strength to do. I admire your courage and patience. Juliana is such a fighter. She is powerful, brilliant, and inspiring. Her charm and beauty go way beyond what appearance can offer. Keep on doing you're doing and keep inspiring others to be brave. Akemi Fukarimoto – Tokyo – 11/12/09 1:42 PM Konichiwa Juliana-chan!

Annie – Home – 11/06/09 5:52 PM Juliana, I just want to say, I think that you're absolutely beautiful. :) Never let anyone tell you otherwise. You're fast becoming a heartthrob at my house, especially with my younger cousin.
Keep living.
- Annie Kathy Hall – Minooka, IL – 11/06/09 3:56 PM Hey, my Sweet Pea, how are you? Are you giving Nana Colleen a run for her money? If you don't know what that means, ask her :)...or mommy...they'll explain it to you :). I bet Nana has been huggin' the daylights out of you and Keni...and you've been giving it right back to her! :) Give her lots of love for me, too...she was soooo happy and excited to be going to see you all. Take care, my sweet (and sassy :) little Ana...Sending lots of love from all of us here in the country! (...and go "easy" on Nana, she's gettin' old, you know...:) ha-ha
Gramma Kathy :)...(just kidding about the "old" part...Nana will kill me when she reads that! :) Nath – Luino (Italy) – 11/05/09 8:41 AM Ciao!
We are two girls from northern Italy. We "met" you thanks to TV and then we searched for informations about you in Internet.
You immediately jumped into our hearts.
We think you are a really nice and strong girl!
A big HUG by Nathalie and Greta from Italy ^____^
Good luck! Brianna – Indiana – 11/04/09 11:06 PM Juliana, you're a strong girl. You're just like any other girl! I saw pictures of you dancing, playing... you're amazing! You are beautiful the way God made you.

-Brianna Childers Marcia McKeever – Portland Oregon – 11/04/09 8:52 PM I have watched Juliana's story on The Discovery channel. I fell in love with her. She is a vivacious,spirited little girl as I'm sure you are well aware. Every once in awhile I will have a pain from one of my health problems and I think of Juliana and all she has endured. I think to myself if the little angel can get through so can I.
Thank you and your family for sharing Juliana's story with us. It has been truely inspiring. Giorgi Stefania – PORTO POTENZA PICENA ITALIA – 11/04/09 5:18 PM DOLCISSIMA MERAVIGLIOSA GIULIANA MAI SENTITO TANTO AMORE E VOGLIA DI VIVERE.

The program I watched only went till you were two. you are in ours prayers always... Katie Carver – Ringgold,GA – 11/02/09 8:17 PM hello,
my name is katie i am 15 yrs. old. I go to Heritage High School. I am doing a Genetic Disorder Awareness Project in my biology class and i picked TCS. I picked this because I heard about Juliana and saw her picture and thought that there are some people in this world that don't understand what the real issue is all they see is a girl that looks different on the outside and they laugh and snicker. And i think thats wrong. I know that God has done what he did for a reason. And i believe he wanted me to choose this because he wanted me to help change the face of this cruel world. I suppot everything that is happening and i really just want to know if there is anything that people really need to know about TCS i will not exploit anything about Juliana or do anything that y'all don't want to be done. May God be with with you and you family.
Siencerly,
Katie Kim Roberts – Bishopville MD – 11/02/09 3:55 PM Happy Autumn and I hope everything is alright. Have not seen any new posts since the last doctors visit. Is everything alright?
Hope you had a nice Halloween...who did Juliana dress as? Dora? SpongeBob? Tinker Bell?

I miss hearing about the girls...xoxo Chris Sapp – South Florida/Brunswick Georgia – 11/02/09 3:45 PM I'm writing to say that i always watch Juliana story on the Discovery Health Channel.

-Devin Rondeau Scott MacTaggart – PEI, Canada. – 10/23/09 10:32 PM Hello,
I have just heard about Juliana and her story tonight from a video shared on Youtube. I just want to say that her story—along with her family's, touched me deeply. I was surprised, and quite happy to see that there was a website dedicated to Juliana's progression. I'll be sure to visit every once in a while to check out any updates.
Juliana, you are one strong little lady. I'm sure that the many surgeries and visits to the doctor are not much fun, but you keep holding in there. The world is a beautiful place, and it is very lucky to have such a beautiful spirit brought into it. Karen Victoria Davenport – New York, NY – 10/22/09 10:54 PM Hi Juliana!
It has been a while! I hope you are fine and enjoying school and dancing.
Hello to all of you Wetmores and Jeanne and your dog! I look forward to an update (please).
You are always in my thoughts and prayers,
Kisses and a NY hug,
Karen Victoria Travis B. – Denver, Colorado – 10/21/09 11:40 PM I was moved and privledged to get a chance to see Juliana's exhuberant tribute to a brave little girl on youtube. And I feel compelled to offer all my hope and prayers with you and your amazing family. This gift that God has created is nothing more then a miracle and makes her more special then any of us can ever be! Juliana Cotini – Brazil – 10/21/09 5:38 PM Hello, Juliana
Just to say that I loved your pictures, you and your sister are very beautiful and smart girls.
I hope we can meet some day.
God bless you and all your strong family.
Kisses from your new friend!
Juliana ;) Natasha M. – Northern Colorado – 10/21/09 12:44 AM Juliana,
You are a beautiful gift from God. I believe that through you, many people will see God in a way they never have before...they will see you as a blessing and a miracle you are. I believe that God will use you to teach others about beauty, about what is truly precious in life. God has given you wonderful parents who see you for the priceless, shining jewel that you are.
I have a little girl that has many health problems and has spent a lot of her life in the hospital. I know what amazing teachers you young children can be to us adults who are suppose to have so many answers yet, often, have so few. You teach us that not knowing is ok. When we make the wrong decision, you kiddos teach us forgiveness in a way that only children can. You kiddos go through more surgeries, hospitalizations, procedures, therapies, etc. and you teach us what it is to be strong. For that, Juliana, like my daughter, you are my hero. God bless you.
Our prayers are with you and your family,
Natasha M and Family Ingnes Mailand – Cologne, Germany – 10/20/09 2:22 PM Dear Juliana,
you´re a wonderful, strong girl, don´t give up and fight for your life.

Gramma Colleen said you made it through this surgery with flying colors and when mama asked if you were ready to go home, you said, "Yep!" Your buddy Lauren knew you'd be alright and that everything would be okay...when I told her you were out of surgery and okay, she looked me in the eye with those big blue eyes, and said, very calmly, "I know, Gramma." ...and then this great big grin spread across her face, and we just hugged. You just "keep keepin' on", Ana...give a big hug to Mom and Dad and Keni and Nurse Jeanne (group hug!:), and have them give you one from all of us!
Love you bunches, Sweet Girl...
Gramma Happy (Kathy), and all the Hall's and Quirks Michelle – Wisconsin – 10/18/09 8:14 PM I remember seeing Juliana's story on TV and I was very touched by everyone's strength. As a mother of three I can only imagine what life must be like. However, I came to find out from watching your show that love is love, no matter what. She is your child and she seems happy and very loved which is something that some children that are born with no abnormalities do not receive. Juliana is lucky to have her family and you are very lucky to have her as your daughter. She is beautiful!!! Kristi Morris – Abilene, TX – 10/18/09 12:39 PM I was just thinking of you guys. Hope the weekend is wonderfully filled with lots of laughter and love!!
Sincerely-
Kristi Paco Campos – México – 10/17/09 7:52 PM Hi Juliana!! you are a very brave girl!!

We love you!! Mark Parry – Ilford, Essex, United Kingdom – 10/17/09 5:40 PM Hi, I was browsing YouTube and came across your video. I have a baby who is 6 months old and I look at her as an absolute blessing, in the same way that your parents do about you. The most amazing thing about having such a wonderful family is that you will ALWAYS be given unconditional love, care and respect. Juliana you are a truly wonderful person for conquering such a steep mountain and I will be praying that after each trip to hospital you will recover quickly. May you always be happy and healthy and I hope that you know what an inspiration you are to everyone who ever has the pleasure to meet you. All our love, Mark, Poonam and Little Lucy x-X-x Kelyn Barahona – Honduras – 10/16/09 11:12 PM Hi!!! You are an angel Juliana.. Don¨t give up!!!! You are a miracle!!!!! God bless you, and your family too..... I hope, you have a long and happy life, because that is what you deseve... XOXOXOXOXOXO lyndsey radford – London England Uk – 10/15/09 12:42 PM Dear Wetmores,
I was just reminded of Juliana by seeing a youtube video. I'd seen her previously on a TV program.
I remember feeling her amazing spirit and also the loving spirit of her sister. Life must be very tough at times but she will learn so much, things that the average person cannot see.
Please remember that for every mean person out there, there is also a gentle person just around the corner ready to love and embrace you.
You will teach the world a lot and it is a gift that you are here with us.
Much love to you and your beautiful family.
Lyndsey x Murx – California – 10/15/09 12:48 AM I was linked here through your Youtube video. Juliana, you are an amazing little girl! I wish you and your family the best. Gail Zeolla – Michigan – 10/14/09 9:59 PM Hi Tammy, the girls are getting so big, it's hard to believe it's been 3 years since I saw Juliana's story and was so thankful to have found your website for her. I hope she is doing well,,,have wondered if you have adopted the other little girl yet you wrote about. I'm sure that's a long process. Hope and pray things are going well for all of you, I read more than I write, but keep you in my prayers all the time. I was just telling a friend of mine about you last night actually. Have a good night and love to your daughters, hope they are having a good year in school,,,,gail and tony from MI Harrianne Johnson – Cullman, AL – 10/14/09 9:24 PM Hey, Sweetheart! What have you been up to lately? I want you and your fantastic big sister to know that I think the two of you are so cool! I love your pictures together! You both are so incredibly beautiful!
I hope you've had a wonderful week at school! My school week has been really busy. I have lots of reading and lots of homework. School is fun to me because I'm learning so much about being a nurse. I wish I could be a nurse right now, but I have to go to school just like you and your sister until I learn everything I can. I will finally be a nurse by the time you turn 8 years old if you are 6 years old right now! I am so excited! I can hardly wait! Only a little more than 1 1/2 more years! YEA! We'll just be learning lots and lots at the same time, won"t we!
I hope you have a wonderful week!
I think about you everyday and love you, Pretty Girl!

This in fact is true love and it is true at least what my father has told me, there is no love greater than the love you have for your own child. You inspire me and this should be a lesson to all the abortions because a child is a sacred life a life made from God himself. Tell Juliana i said hi for me and God Bless You im sure you've heard it a lot of times and im glad Juliana has you and your husband and brothers and sisters as parents. Monique – Jacksonville – 10/13/09 11:26 PM Hello Wetmore family!!! I has been waaaay too long but I still think of all of you often and check for updates. I hope all is well.
Hugs to all and take care. Alma Carey – California – 10/13/09 8:56 AM Juliana,
I want you to know that I think you're a very lovely girl.
I am trained in art and I have learned that there are many ways to see beauty.
There is a nice painting by Picasso called "Girl With a Boat". Maybe your parents will agree it's a nice picture to have.
I hope your dancing is coming along well. Take care of yourself and don't forget to have fun.
All the best,
Alma

Kiss from Naples Terri – Ravenna ~ Ohio – 10/06/09 6:47 AM Juliana, I just seen you for the first time on youtube. Just wanted to uplift you kiddo and tell you not to pay heed to what the demons (or mean people) say. God will surely deal with them. Just keep in mind Psalms 91 honey & read it outloud everyday. Anyone that has Christ in their heart can see ALL the beauty that just RADIATES in your spirit, soul and face!!! God definately has wonderful plans for your life, just look how it started... putting you in the arms of two angels known as your Mom & Dad. God Bless <*)))>< WallyPaty – Mexico – 10/04/09 8:56 PM Juliana.
You are such a brave girl and an example for life. You are a beautiful light tha shines the earth with its presence. God bless your parents. Linda Horner – Madeira Beach FL – 10/02/09 10:43 PM I am so glad you are doing so well after your recent surgeries.
I know Dr. Wolf and his team have helped you so much over the years and they will continue to help you to the best of their abilities. I feel that God is guiding Dr. Wolf and his team during your procedures.
I hope the school year is going well for you and Kendall.
Linda Tammie Deso – Greenfield, Ma – 10/02/09 9:20 PM Hi Juliana, your story is inspirational. I have twin girls who just turned 5 like you. One of which has bilateral hemifacial microsomia and many other diagnoses. She has had 15 surgeries thus far, and faces another next month. My daughter Ally and I watched your show a few weeks back together and she was thrilled to see a new friend with a trach like her. Ally wanted to invite you to her birthday party a few weeks ago, but I had to explain they you did not live close by. I wanted to send off a quick note to you and your parents to say thank you for sharing. The toughest job in the world is to be a mom and dad, but the most rewarding is to have such special children in our lives. Lots of love and best wishes you are remarkable. Ally and Katie loved seeing you website. We have a small one set up for Ally if you would like to get to know her more www.caringbridge.org/allydeso. You can just click on the website and put in allydeso to reach it. Juliana is blessed to have such a wonderful support system. Tammie Deso Don and Deb – Massachusettes – 10/02/09 5:29 PM Juliana, we just want you to know that you are beautiful, and full of love and spirit. My wife and I pray for you every night before we go to bed. We know with god's help, everything will turn out just great. I think your mom and dad are wonderful people. If you need anythng, please let us know. We will try our best to help. God bless you and your family.
- Don and Deb Peggie Staples – Port St. Lucie,FL. – 10/02/09 12:30 PM Dear Tami,I truly believe the Lord has a plan for Juliana in this life.I also feel the need to discuss Kendra and her needs.
On your episode about Juliana I noticed poor Kendra being pushed to the side time and time again.I know it must be difficult to evenly divide your time between the girls (but I have experience in this area,)you might be sacrificing Kendra for Juliana.Juliana is no longer a baby and should be given a little more space so you can spend quality time with Kendra who is approaching teen-hood all alone.
It is clear in your video that Juliana can not stand for you to pay attention to Kendra.She can not stand to share the limelight.That is not good for a child's development-even a "special" child as is Juliana.Please read this with an open mind and heart.I am speaking for Kendra because I was Kendra!There is never a day that I don't hurt.Never a day that passes that -even though I am a 48 year old woman-I have a peace about my childhood .I didn't find that peace until I was in my forties.After years of self destruction and struggle,I can finally think of my mother and smile.Please know I am not criticising just hoping to shed a little light.God bless you and your family!
Sincerely, Peggie Staples jimm brown – Grant pinches bedroom – 10/02/09 12:01 PM hey juliana just wanted to stop by again and say well done. my friend has a daughter who suffers from your condition and i just wanted to say its so hard and your so brave. i love you x grant pinches x Harrianne Johnson – Cullman, AL – 10/02/09 8:08 AM Hello, Beautiful Sunshine! I hope you've had a fantastic week at school! 1st Grade is so much fun and you are such a smart girl! I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking about you! You have touched my life in such a wonderful way. Remember, I'm in nursing school and decided when I first "met" you what kind of nurse I'm going to be. I want to work in a children's hospital with precious little boys and girls just like you. I know surgeries are scary and you hurt a lot when you wake up, but I want to be the kind of nurse that will be there to hold and rock children when they're afraid or don't feel good. I want to love them and make their lives a little bit easier while they're in the hospital. My daddy was a wonderful doctor and I remember how much he loved his patients. They were like our family. I thought my daddy was the coolest man because of the love he had for everyone! I will be in school for about another year and a half but will be so excited when I get out! Anyway,always remember how precious you are to the whole wide world. You are our #1 Sweetheart! I love you, little one! Lindsey – Athens,GA – 09/30/09 9:26 PM Hey! Wow! That really is an amazing story!I am eleven years old and I just saw her video on you tube for beautiful you by jonny diaz. I LOVE THAT SONG! Well anyway, I have a cousin that is Juliana's age and I think they are alot alike. If you have ever been on caringbridge.com my cousin had lukemia and just passed away a year ago. Her name was Kayla and she wasn't that much younger than me. I only saw her once and we clicked like we had been friends for YEARS! I loved her so much, Just like you love Juliana. You are blessed to have a sweet little girl like her. It is crazy how fast these little guys grow up!:o) Well God be with you! karen lindsey – youngsville n.c. – 09/30/09 7:14 PM Hi Juliana and Tami, I watched Juliana's amazing story for the first time this past Saturday night on discovery health.She is just an adorable child.I have a grand daughter thats 7 this past June, and she has a little sister and she is now 15 months old. I know school is one of your favorite places isen't it? My granddaughter use to take ballet. Now she has moved on to piano lessons. Her daddy is in the military also. They live in Georgia. I really enjoyed all those beautiful pictures of you and your family.I work at a hospital in the surgery dept. So I am all to familiar with your having all those surgeries.You are a special little girl to me. I would like to send you a special gift if mommy and daddy says its o.k. let me know mommy. May God bless and keep you all in his care always. I am praying for all of you. love and prayers, Karen Paul Maruska – St. Paul Minnesota – 09/30/09 4:37 PM Juliana
You are such a beautiful child. Your story is such an inspiration to our family here in Minnesota. Thank you for showing us what life, love , and happiness are all about. I have a little girl your age and you inspire me to be the best daddy I can be.
Paul nikimelnar – athens, greece – 09/29/09 10:51 PM i have kept track of this website for some time now and decided its time to sign up!!. julianne you are a lucky girl, you have the true love of all the world , so you will grow up to be Full of LOVE- a wonderful person. we love you and pray for you......... And for your whole perfect family..... Lots of kisses from athens, greece! Philip B. – Fresno CA – 09/28/09 2:08 AM She looks like a very happy little girl. i enjoyed this website. Its was very uplifting to me to hear this story. At first i felt pity like every one else i'm sure. But seeing her she doesn't sound any different then my neice nephew bouncing off the walls. But she will make her own desisions in time. And for now you guys are doin a very good job. God bless all of you in the future. lex – Los Angeles, CA – 09/27/09 10:53 PM Juliana's story not only touched me on a positive level for how courageous and brilliant of a little girl she is, but it also caught my attention on a professional level.
Tami, as seen on the documentary, you mentioned your concerns regarding feeding and eating by mouth. I saw the assistance of a Speech and Language Pathologist for speech and nurses for medical concerns throughout her surgeries and ongoing recovery. However, I cannot help but ask if you have taken Juliana to see an Occupational Therapist ? If Juliana has not already been seen by an OT, I highly recommend it to further her ability to function in feeding/eating.
I wish the best for Juliana and your family.
Juliana, you are a strong and beautiful girl. I am so proud of you! Looking forward to hearing more updates about school and so forth.
Lex
Kelsey Watkins – La Verne, CA – 09/26/09 11:04 AM First I'd like to say what a strong, courageous, and beautiful woman you are!
I have for some time been slowly losing faith that there were very many truly decent anymore. Your family's story has given me hope. I am in awe of your devotion to one another and your continued optimism after such hardship. Watching your story brought me to tears multiple times (I eventually just put the box of Kleenex in my lap!) and even now as I'm writing this I am once again crying because I am so profoundly moved.
Thank you for sharing your family's devotion and enduring loyalty. You have changed my faith in people and I cannot thank you enough for that.
From the bottom of my heart I say thank you,
Kelsey Watkins Rasheeda Holliman – 09/26/09 9:45 AM Sorry about Juliana's I hit the wrong thing you have just a wonderful nurse I see everybody always talk about mom and dad but your family is a team and a wonderful team at one day I hope I get a chance to meet you and you can play with my daugther she is such a sweeet girl and you are gone to have to show me how to talk with my hand I know just a little bite and I mean a little bite you gotten so big so fast know wonder why you have mom pulling her hair out lol anyway I'm gone to pray for you and you make sure you pray for all us the world needs your pray you are true gift from god and for the team so I say go team and keep up the good work god bless you and your team Rasheeda Holliman – Still at work – 09/26/09 9:32 AM Hi Juliana's it's been some time since the last time I had a chance to write but don't worry I was pray for and I ask you pray for me to you are growing up so fast and time is flying by how is school going I Arlene Lemmon – Billings, MT – 09/26/09 2:52 AM Your family is such an inspiration to me! As a mother, your faith in the Lord speaks such volumes it brings tears to my eyes! Juliana is a beautiful little girl! She lets her light so shine that it's evident to the whole world! I am keeping Juliana and the rest of the wonderful Wetmore family in my prayers! You are all so amazing! Jill Routon – Phoenix Arizona – 09/26/09 2:39 AM I just want to say that you are an amazing family. I was really feeling sorry for myself tonight and telling God all about when I came across a program on Discovery Health reguarding Juliana. It totally changed my attitude when I saw all that Juliana has gone through, and what a positive trooper she is. I know in my heart that God has amazing plans for her life, and I look forward to watching her grow into an even more beautiful woman. Whenever I start feeling my self pity again, I will think of Juliana and try and be the strong and positive person that she is. She is my inspiration to look past my problems and see the beauty in things. Thank you for sharing your lives with so many, and for helping so many by your example of faith, joy, and strength! Dawn and Sarah – michigan,usa – 09/26/09 12:16 AM Watched the awsomely made program on the accomplishments of juliana"s and the whole family"s and had to write to say to you the mom and dad you two are so wonderful and have been blessed and so has juliana with all that your family has and continue to create her face and go about it carefully for her health and future and the connection with her needs.We say Hello to you Juliana sweetheart, and thanks to your parents you are going to be an awsome adult, I pray much for future operations that go very well for you Juliana and hope you have plenty of just being you time in between them.I wish to see a big smile in her future.Lots of Love Dawn and Sarah. Mike Donahue – Celebration, FL – 09/25/09 11:06 PM Greetings,
I can identify with just a tiny fraction of Juliana's ordeal since I just went through my 9th surgery since 2000. But, I'm OLD! (61) and should know what's going on. We seem to live relatively close, and we'd love to help if there is ever anything we can do. Of course we will add her to our prayer group at church, which links to many others in the Orlando area.
Juliana is such an inspiration to all of us, but also reminds us of the terrible pain she must go through. Your love and devotion are what make her life. That is truly inspiring in a time in our Country when so many are taking the easy way out with EVERYTHING! She is truly blessed to have you for parents, and she is in your life for a reason.
Mike Donahue
Celebration, Fl Cathy Steffes – Fond du Lac, Wisconsin – 09/25/09 10:54 PM Hi Juliana! I would LOVE to sign with you sometime! You are the most beautiful little girl I have ever met.

I have a friend in St. Augustine. That isn't too far from where you live! Isn't that cool? Take care, Little Juliana! We love you and will always pray for you and for your family. Elaine Coyle – Mahopac, NY – 09/25/09 10:54 PM Juliana—you are such a beautiful little girl inside and out!

Angeline Pillon – Windsor, Ont – 09/17/09 8:12 PM Juliana is a really amazing little girl, to have been through so much and still be as energetic as she is. She's so brave and is an inspiration to me. I'm up to nine surgeries now at fifteen and I'd like to say thank you to Juliana. Her story has given me so much courage and I support her all the way! She really is a beautiful girl. I guess i should say it: Thank you Juliana for being such a bright and cheerful little girl!!! Nancy Henry – Baton Rouge, LA – 09/17/09 4:22 PM It is so amazing to see how far little Juliana has come. I am praying for you and your family, and have been for quite some time now.
I was just wondering if Juliana would be a candidate for a face transplant. I have seen where many people have been benefiting from the procedure.
Many Blessings!
Nancy H. Miz T – Elgin SC – 09/16/09 10:14 PM I just caught your baby's video on YouTube. This girl is going to be an inspiration...and the love your family has for each other and for God Himself is awesome. Elsie Garcia – Miramar, Florida – 09/16/09 7:49 PM Hi, I met you (mommy) when Juliana was a tiny baby at PICU at MCH. My son Randy who has Aperts Syndrome had also had surgery with Dr. Wolfe and we met. I am soooooo happy to see Juliana's pictures. They are such happy children despite going through so much. I will continue to follow her story as it too gives me hope for my son. I truly admire your family. I am very proud of her older sister and how she reacts to other kids by saying it like it is that her sister is just a kid like everyone else. I would love to see you again whenever you come down to Miami. Thank you for the inspiration that you have given me. It is so hard at times but through the smiles and laughter of these kids we can get through anything.
Hugs!
Kathy Johnson – Marina, Ca. – 09/16/09 12:43 PM Hello Juliana,
I'm a new friend into your life and I live in Marina California which is by all the fancy golf courses that Tiger Woods plays & wins at Pebble Beach, maybe you've heard of that location.??
I just want to tell you that I think you are really a special little girl, and a walking miracle and you are very BRAVE..!! I love brave people..!! they are my hero's..!! Tell you Momma and everybody hello, and I will be back in touch with you, ok..Bye bye honey. Kathy Johnson jimm brown – james thompsonville – 09/14/09 7:06 PM you are a inspiration. i saw your show on tv and thought u looked fantastic. Harrianne Johnson – Cullman, Alabama – 09/14/09 6:25 PM Hey, Beautiful Little Sunshine!
I hope you are just having a ball at school! I'm working hard in nursing school and have lots of homework! It's really a lot of fun to me though! I love to learn just like you! I really want to hear all about your school and your most favorite things to do in school. I bet you love coloring and counting and playing at recess! Those were my favorite things in 1st grade. I know you love books by your picture on your website. I REALLY love to read and look at the pictures, too!
I am a clown and got to do a birthday party not long ago. It was a cowboy party! Everybody had cowboy hats on. They even had a barn with real horses! It was too cool! I even got to feed one of the horses baby carrots! He tickled my hand when he got the carrots! It was so funny!
I think about you every day and wonder what fun things you are doing. You are such a gift from God to the whole wide world! Wow! You are a super star, Girlfriend!!!
By the way, I think you have the greatest sister and mommy and daddy in the whole wide world!!
You are snug as a bug in a rug in my heart and I'm sending you bundles and bundles of love!
Harrianne aka "Oopsie Daisy the Clown" Lianne – Ohio – 09/13/09 6:30 PM Hi Juliana,
How is school? You must be in about 1st grade now right?! I saw your newer show on Discovery Health in the spring and really enjoyed it.
:) Lianne Natalie – Boynton Beach,FL – 09/11/09 6:40 PM Hi,
Your daughter is a beautiful creation in this world no matter what anybody says she always will be!
Thanks,
Natalie Kristi Morris – Abilene, TX – 09/11/09 3:00 PM Hey Superstar!! I hope your week went super!! I've been thinking of you. Sending lots of love your way :)
Sincerely-
Kristi Vicky Ang – Singapore – 09/11/09 2:15 PM Hi Juliana, I came across your video online and I think you are so brave and beautiful!
I am not sure if you know where Singapore is, but you should ask your teacher when you are in school, we are far far away and it's always sunny here. :)
I would like to send you some cartoons that you might like, because my company does children videos which includes many fun videos that has alot of dancing!!! Do email me your mailing address, and hopefully you can get them soon!
Continue to be brave and have lots of fun in school, I will always log in to check on your recovery!
Love,

Nana told me you started back to school yesterday! Good for you!!! I know how much you love school and your friends. Nothing...and I mean "nothing"...keeps you down for long! You are so strong! Like Lindsey (Lauren's older sister) says, "If Juliana can put up with________(fill in the space :), then I can surely do this!" (whatever it is she needs to do). You just keep "keepin' on", my sweet girl. I know Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you. Lauren just started first grade, too...and little Melly started pre-school. Her teacher signs everything to her so she'll be able to "talk" to you better than anyone in the family next time we see you! :) I can't wait to hear all you're up to from Nana Colleen. You keep me laughing...and inspired, Ana. Give Keni a big hug for me...and Mommy and Daddy, too. And tell Nurse Jeanne, "hi", too! So much love from all over the world surrounds you, Juliana...God made sure you were well taken care of!
Sweet love from all of us in the country in Minooka, too, Babe...

Katie and RJ Vicki Fitzpatrick – Orange – 09/06/09 9:47 AM Hello Pretty Girl !
I haven't written in a few months because we moved and I've not spent much time on my computer. I've missed you and I've missed some of the exciting things you did these last few months. Graduating from Kindergarten...WOW! And it sounds like you have had a very busy summer. And now school's started again. And you are in the first grade. Well, that's really neat. You're so smart and you're growing up so fast! You're a wonderful, beautiful, smart little girl Juliana and I so enjoy hearing about your life and all the things you and your family do. I am one of your biggest fans and will be for life! You inspire me. You make me feel good. When I look at you I feel so much love in my heart and that feels good!
I'll be keeping up again regularly and can't wait to hear what the latest happenings are in yours and your family's lives. Have a good week.
Love,
Vicki Anne Grimmer – Orlando, FL – 09/05/09 11:51 AM Hi Juliana!
How are you? I hope you and your family are well. I have been thinking of you, and I know that God has a very special plan for you! He created you, He knows you and He loves you very much. :)
Here are some Bible verses for you! (NIV)
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart" Jeremiah 1:5
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:13-14
"Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.'" Matthew 19:14
Have a good day and God bless you! :) Françoise – France – 09/05/09 5:11 AM Hi Juliana!
You little girl and your wonderful family are a true inspiration for me!
Big hugs from France

Qaiser Siddique – Helsinki, Finland – 09/05/09 12:57 AM Your decision to keep the baby is the first and best moment for Juliana's life, knowing her parents love her much before then she was born.

Giving her all the love she deserve and sharing her childhood memories with the world !
When ever she will read all this and see all the pictures and videos , She will find nothing but love for her from all the parts of the world.
I consider Juliana to be the Luckiest Girl of this world, having so many friends and well wishers all over the world at this age. I wish I could See her on TV one day on some kind of talent show, I bet all votes will go to her !!!!

I am excited to see so many things happening for her, and I will continue to keep up now that I have found her site.
Nothing but warm and wonderful wishes- Love from Dandridge Chuck Miller – Oklahoma – 08/30/09 7:17 PM I wanted to tell you that I really admire you. My situation was not quite like yours, but when I was young, I had some things that seemed to set me apart and make me different from others, and it was difficult to deal with. Reading about you, I see that you face the world as it is, without letting fear tie you down. And you give the world a chance to accept you just as YOU are, by showing everyone what you are made of and what you are capable of doing. I hope you will always do this. I am glad you and your family have decided to share your story. Thank you! Eleonora Keller – Zurich, Switzerland – 08/29/09 7:02 PM Hi Juliana,
I'm not quite sure my English is good enough to express my admiration for your and your family's strength and beauty.
So I would simply like to join all those people around the planet who wish you luck and all the best for your future.
And well, with a whole world praying for you..what could possibly go wrong!
lots of love from the heart of Europe,
yours Nora John Anne – S.Korea – 08/29/09 5:51 AM Hi, Juliana~
A thousand thanks Baby~ You and your family make me feel more something.
Watching TV, I found your lovely story.
Your 'lovely' Parents and 'lovely' sister and 'lovely' neighbor shake my soul.
I thought YOU, baby Juliana may be an angel GOD accredited. The angel makes people feel and act love, mercy, share, thanks, ... There are your family and Jacksonville citizen, 'Crom Club' members by you.
Your MOM & DAD are not only best parents but also very respectable persons.
I sincerely hope and pray that GOD always be with you and your family and neighbors.
I believe YOU WILL BE GOOD and BE BETTER and BE BEST as your mom & dad said.

I like the Beatles and One of my favorite songs is 'BLACKBIRD' (In my country this cute little bird is known as MIRLO)...
I want to dedicate this song to you, dear Juliana with all my heart:
BLACKBIRD
(Lennon & McCartney)
Blackbird is singing in the dead of night
Turn this broken wings and learn to fly
all your life
you´ve been only waiting for this moment to arrive
Blackbird is singing in the dead of night
Turn this sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
You´ve been only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light on the dark black night
the end
This is a song of freedom, love and hope; everytime I hear it I dream and I wish that every people in the world is going to take wings to fly to make all our dreams come true.
If you want to hear this song, dear girl, it is in THE BEATLES WHITE ALBUM and it is a precious and acoustic one. I Hope you will enjoy it!!
Love and kisses for you, Juliana!! seth mcneely – Charleston, West Virginia – 08/28/09 6:52 AM Hello, Juliana!
How are you?
I hope your happy as can be sweetie.
It makes me so happy to see that your happy in your childhood.
I may only be fourteen, but you actually make me look forward to being a parent for some reason. Just the love and caring that your parents have for you makes me want to have a child and make them feel as special as you mother and father have for you.
I have a little sister just a few years younger than you named Rayne. When I see her I think about you and your older sister, and I use you as an example to my little sis. Well, I use you as an example for me really. Just seeing how happy you are and how strong you can be lets me think that if you can go on as strong as you are then I can too.
Well sweetie, I hope you have a fantastic life ahead of you with many grand adventures.
-Seth
Chuck Miller – Norman, Oklahoma – 08/28/09 5:08 AM You are an amazing young person, Juliana.
The other day I ran across an article someone had written in which he made some very unkind remarks about Juliana. Right now, I am in the process of writing the sharpest rebuttal I can manage. I don't know if you see a lot of this kind of garbage, but even just one is way too many. I can send you a copy of my own article when I finish it if you'd like.
God bless you all! Carlos Bellegarrigue – San Salvador, El Salvador – 08/27/09 11:35 PM Quiero compartirles unas palabras del Gran Maestro Jesús: "Dejad que los niños vengan a mí, no se los impidan, porque de ellos y de quienes son como ellos es el reino de los Cielos"; ¿quien no quisiera tener el corazon y la alegria de vivir que muestra Juliana en cada foto? he visto todas sus imagenes y la alegria de vivir se puede hasta respirar en cada imagen (mi favorita es la de las sombrillas); tengo 38 años y tu, a pesar de tener solo 5 ya has sido una maestra para mi vida...JULIANA, YO QUIERO TENER TU ESPIRITU E IRRADIAR LA ALEGRIA QUE TU IRRADIAS A TODO EL QUE TE VE. Carlos Bellegarrigue – El Salvador – 08/27/09 11:15 PM Desde que supe esta historia, me quede maravillado del coraje y el increible espiritu de lucha de esta pequeña; Juliana es un canto a la vida, a la felicidad, al deseo de soñar, a la superacion, al amor, a la misericordia de Dios, a la paz ante la tormenta, a la valentia ante la adversidad y para mi una verdadera inspiración; no hay ninguna limitación existente para el ser humano, las limitaciones las ponemos nosotros...Una preciosa niña que no dudo que en el futuro sera una gran mujer...Y unos padres que decidieron decir SI A LA VIDA Y AL AMOR.
Juliana, espero algun dia poder conocerte en persona.
QUE DIOS LES BENDIGA Y LES DE PROSPERIDAD TODA SU VIDA...Y ANIMO!!! Harrianne Johnson – Cullman, Alabama – 08/27/09 8:26 PM Hey, Precious! I hope you have had a wonderful week and got in plenty of playing. I love all of your sweet pictures! I can tell how much you and your sister and mommy and daddy love and adore each other. One of my favorite pictures is the one at the top left where you are in your pajamas looking at a book. I used to teach first grade, so that picture has such meaning to me since we loved to look at books and learn to read! Books are so exciting! I am staying busy in nursing school these days and have lots of homework, but I love school now, too! I can't wait to hear how you are spending your time these days. You are so very special and incredibly beautiful! I love you, sweet girl! Alyssa Johnson – Tampa, Fl – 08/27/09 12:01 PM Dear Juliana & family,

love from louisiana, Karla Barbee Jill Williamson – Woodland Hills, CA – 08/10/09 11:50 PM Let me just say that Juliana is absolutely precious. Angel girl and lovely family. Her progress from birth to now is just amazing. I have seen the show on Juliana several times and always am so amazed at her. She is so lucky to have such amazing parents...you are truly wonderful people. Julia – Florida – 08/10/09 6:48 PM Hi my name is Julia. I have a 10 year old daughter who seen your daughter on TV. My daughter asked her grandmother for her help to make Juliana something very special. We live local and I thought it was very sweet that my daughter cared so much and came up with something she wanted to do for Juliana all on her own. I spoke with Juliana's doctors office today and explained the story briefly. The doctors office told me the best way to reach you to get the information I need for Juliana's gift was through this web site. Please contact me through my email so that the information about the children are private and not posted for everyone to see. I need special measurements of Juliana for her gift and I would also like to share a little story with you and Juliana about my daughter and who she is. We were so glad to see Juliana's surgery went well and she is doing good with her recovery. I am a cancer survivour and I know how hard hospital stays can be. My heart and prayers are with Juliana alway's. We look forward to hearing from you! God Bless! Julia Kellie Taglioli – Edmond, OK – 08/10/09 3:35 PM On more than one occassion now, I have watched programs on TV about Juliana. Watching her go through all these surgeries (and knowing there is more to come) just breaks your heart. I have a 3 year old and it kills me when she's upset or sick. As a mother, you want nothing more than for your kids to be healthy, happy and safe. Juliana's story and your families strength, support and love you have shown this little girl is an inspiration to us all. I pray that her surgeries continue to be a success. Laura Blackledge – McKinney, TX – 08/10/09 12:04 PM I watched Juliana's story on TLC the other night and was amazed at her courage. She seems like a wonderful little girl. I am so glad to hear that Juilana is doing well. I hope that her surgeries are a success. She is just such an inspiration to us all. Jen Metzger – New Jersey – 08/09/09 10:07 AM I just saw the episode on Discovery Health when Juliana had the ribs put into her skull and the jaw extenders. It was from 2005 (??) To come here and see the pictures of how truly amazing she looks and the fabulous progess she's made is heartwarming. Good luck to you and to Juliana to keep plugging through this. We never know why God gives us what He does but you all are doing a wonderful job in His eyes. Bless you! Kristi Morris – Abilene,TX – 08/09/09 9:49 AM The other night Discovery played Juliana's story; this particular one was when she was celebrating her 2nd bday. The story is so powerful and full of love and hope. Then i started reading her website this morning- its truly amazing to see how far you guys have traveled- how far you have come. My thoughts, prayers, and love are with you. I am hoping this message finds everyone home; safe and sound and feeling better. I am so sorry Kendra had to come early from camp.
As always—sending lots of love!!
Sincerely,
Kristi Emi – Barcelona, Spain – 08/09/09 9:34 AM Hello Juliana!

I don't know if this message will be relayed to you, but I just wanted you to know that you touched my heart forever. I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming feeling to want to meet you, to give you a big big hug! You are an amazing little girl who has the power to change the world- I know you have changed me. My prayers are with you and your wonderful family. You are an amazing, wonderful, beautiful beautiful little girl. Make sure you have extra fun this summer and be very careful! Thank you, God bless you sweetie Lori Wagner – Pittsfield, Maine – 08/09/09 12:22 AM Hi Juliana and Family,
I watched your special on TV the other night, and just wanted to say that you all are truly amazing!!! I just found your website, and plan to read all of it tonight.
My thoughts are with you all...take care and best wishes:-)
Lori Jessica – Maine – 08/08/09 11:42 AM Hi Juliana! You are a beautiful little girl with a very loving family. God has blessed you! He has also blessed us to be able to get to know you. Thank you for sharing your story with the rest of us in the world. I hope you like first grade this year. I also have a little girl going into first grade and she is very excited.

Your friend,
Justin W. Gary Sterner – El Cajon, CA – 08/08/09 12:58 AM First I want to thank Thom for serving. I salute you and your family for your courage and commitment.
I'm truly touched and inspired by your love, courage and strength during your journey through such trying circumstances. You are all blessed with an unwavering spirit and soul most people never see, let alone have.
Thank you also for sharing your lives with the world. Your continued encouragement and love really shines through your little princess's.
I'm also saddened by the reasons for the screening requirements. I find it difficult to imagine anyone so cruel and heartless enough to submit a vicious attack on anyone, especially someone with any kind of challenge. Please try to stay focused and not spend too much time on these empty souls.
Give each other great big bear hugs & kisses from Pop Pop & Linden (My 2.5 YO grandson). Best Regards, Gary rosa lopez – 08/08/09 12:57 AM Juliana you are such a little angel and im glad to hear you are doing better. God bless you and your family. Ayana Bell – New Iberia, LA USA – 08/08/09 12:43 AM I just wanted to say that I have so much love for little Juliana and her family. My heart was so filled with emotion when I first saw Juliana on Discovery Health channel. I am so glad to hear that she is such a courageous young lady and I deeply pray that God will give her everything she needs to be a happy, healthy and strong child. Know this always, you are a beautiful child and you are worthy of all the love in the world! I will continue to keep Juliana in my prayers. May God bless you and your family always and keep you surrounded by positive and loving souls. Jennifer Freeman – Georgia – 08/08/09 12:32 AM Juliana,
I saw your story for the first time tonight and boy all I could think was how amazing you are.You are truly an angel from above! I could identify with some parts of your story. My little boy, who is six, was born with a cleft lip and palate and so we have had to endure some craniofacial surgeries and trips to the Atlanta craniofacial center. So mom and dad , I got so emotional because I do know how hard it is to let them go into surgery. KNowing it is the best thing for the child and at the same time wanting to take him and run away from the doctors. I am going to keep you all in my prayers as I know I couldnt have gotten through what we have had to endure without God's love ,mercy and grace! I will definitely keep up with your progress! And Juliana, you are truly beautiful and special! Sincerely,Jennifer Ketura – orlando,fl – 08/08/09 12:29 AM I'm praying for you and you should thanks your mom and your dad and your whole family and nurses. and I'm 11 years old. Kim Simoni – Chicago, IL – 08/08/09 12:24 AM I watched Juliana's documentary again tonight after having seen it several years ago, and my roommate and I were curious about her progress. We both were just completely impressed with her energy and stamina! She is a powerhouse! And Kendra might have to be given the "BEST Big Sis" award.
God bless your whole family and all the medical personnel who have worked so closely with your family for all these years. I think your family is truly blessed. :)
Take care and we will look forward to more updates when you have a moment between piano, and soccer, and camp, and softball, and sleep overs and all the stuff us girls love to do!
Kim S. Kandy Harshbarger – Modesto, Ca – 08/08/09 12:12 AM What a trooper!!! and an unbelieveable family. Julianna is a beautiful little girl...You both have 2 beautiful and special little girls, I only wish that GOD were as good to me as he was to you. You have a special story I have followed from the beginning. Hard to belive you all have come so far. Its just wonderful!! I cant wait to continue to see both of your girls grow up. Lindsey Foulkes – Colorado Springs – 08/07/09 11:28 PM Hiya, Juliana and the Wetmore family!
My 10-year old daughter (she's going into the 5th grade this year) watched the Discovery Channel program about you. You know what she said? She said "Man, I wish I was Juliana's friend. She is so PRETTY! And she's not that hard to understand, you just have to get used to it!" Kinda cool, huh? She said to tell you that you will have SO much fun in the 1st grade and that school only gets more fun from there. And you know what? She's right!
I work as a Special Education teacher and wish all my kids and families were as fun as you and yours. If you're ever here, we'd love to take you to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo to feed the giraffes—you should see their long tongues!
Have a GREAT year in school and kiss your family bunches. They rock my socks!
~Lindsey and Mikayla Robert C Dean – Newport,Or – 08/07/09 9:37 PM You will be in our prayers daily.
God bless you. Regina – Williamstown, NJ – 08/07/09 9:25 PM I just saw the documentary on Discovery when Juliana was 21 months old. I can't even begin to tell you how much you have all touched me tonight. I have a 21 month old son who was sleeping upstairs as I watched the special. When they took Juliana away from her mom to have the surgery, I started crying hysterically. I can't even imagine how hard this is on Juliana and her family. I am so grateful that this special was shown because it made me realize not to take anything for granted. I was so glad to come online after the show and see updated pictures of Juliana doing well. I look forward to following her progress now and I am so glad she is doing well in school. I pray that everything will continue to go well and that her family continues to stay strong as does Juliana. Part of me is heartbroken this little girl has to go through so much at a young age. At the same time, she has taught so many of us so much more about what love is and how to appreciate life in general. She is a true hero and God Bless her now and throughout her entire life. Adrianne – Virginia – 08/07/09 8:39 PM I saw Juliana's documentary when it first aired. Recently, when it was shown again, I was reminded of how wonderful your family is. Time seems to have flown and Juliana is a young lady already! The family looks great and I hope you all are enjoying your summer. Best wishes! Lanjessia – tx – 08/07/09 7:18 PM hello its Lanjessia
How is Juliana from surgery?
tell Juliana that I say she is beautiful in every way of her life and that no one can judge by the way they look!
..
U love, Lanjessia

I have seen you on TV and you are such a doll! I taught elementary school for a long, long time and am now in nursing school to become a registered nurse. You remind me so much of my youngest granddaughter, Campbell! You have such a sweet spirit! I hope some day to get to meet you in person. When I finish with nursing school, I want to work with adorable children just like you and Campbell! By the way, I am also a clown...a sweet girly-girl clown with ruffles and bows on my costume. My clown name is Oopsie Daisy. I have pink hair! Doesn't that sound funny? If you would like for me to send you my girly-girl clown picture, let me know! In the meantime, keep lighting up the world with your presence! You are one amazing little girl! You go, Girlfriend! Much love! Kim – Fall River, MA – 08/06/09 8:31 AM I always knew you were a superhero Juliana! Nothing can keep you down. I guess when you have a super family, you are able to do super things! I am looking forward to new updates and how you will keep your mom on her toes as soon as you get back on yours!
Stay beautiful!
Kim Becky – Cincinnati, Ohio – 08/05/09 11:13 PM Juliana,
My eight year old son, Jacob and I are so happy you are doing well after your procedure. You have been an a role model for our family and we look forward to hearing/seeing more about your successes. Thank you for sharing so we can be inspired.

Keep fighting pumpkin
Tami Just know My prayer are always with all of you
Sheila :> Chanin Tussing – Mason, Ohio – 08/04/09 10:13 PM SOOO glad to hear the wonderful report of your infection and surgery. I'm sure you will be so much happier at home.
I just learned of you the other night when I saw your show air on tv and have to say that I can't help but think about and pray for you frequently. You are such a wonderfully brave and inspiring little girl! It is so nice to see you and your family's faith shine!!
I have a daughter Lexi that is about to turn 6 in September and can't help but see the similarities in your mannerisms on tv and the things your mom writes about—like stubborness!! :) Lexi will also be a first grader this fall and is sooo excited about it. Although she is in the "Hippo" class and would much rather be in the little "brown bunny" class!
God Bless you and your family!! I will be checking back often and will continue to pray for you, your family and medical team!
Hugs & Kisses from Ohio!
Chanin Heather Bellamy – USA – 08/04/09 3:39 PM I just read that you're in the hospital fighting an infection, Juliana. I hope your operation went smoothly and that you are recovering comfortably and that you feel much better soon! I know you don't like to be in the hospital, but all of it is just so you will be able to live a better life. You're beautiful just the way you are but your mom and dad and the doctors want you to be able to breathe and eat like everybody else does. I hope you get there one day and you'll no longer need the trach or the feeding tube. I watched the show about you recently—it was so wonderful to hear your voice! I'm very glad you are talking now.
Many prayers. Alan Darbe – Michigan – 08/04/09 1:48 PM Juliana
I just read about you infection and I want you to know that I will pray for you and that you will be back to that 100 mph that you Mom and Dad love.
I also pray that your sister gets back to her normal self as well
God Bless You,
Hugs and Kisses

Yumi Coyte – Vienna, VA – 08/03/09 11:31 PM My son, Lucas (12) and I watched your documentary last night and was moved by your bubbly character, your Mommy and Daddy's courage and love, too! As a parent of three children, I can feel your Mommy's pain when you tightly hold onto her just before your surgeries. As parents, you want and will do what you think is best for your children, even if that may hurt them. You have a FABULOUS Mommy, a SUPERB Daddy and a WONDERFUL Sister, Kendra! We pray your infection clears up very soon and Kendra feels better real soon, too!!! lisa farrell – weston florida – 08/03/09 10:04 PM juliana,

Rowan (my 9 yr old son) and I saw your show last night and just wanted to add our support to the multitude here!
Hope you get over that infection ASAP and there are NO complications with today's procedure!
We anxiously await your news!
Much love,
Shelli and Rowan Beverly Watson – Covington, GA – 08/03/09 2:27 PM Hey Juliana -
I watched you on TV last night. You are such a brave and sweet little girl. I just read about your surgery that you are having today. I know in my heart that you will be feeling as good as new in a day or so... You will be back in school and having so much fun with your friends. I have a little grandson named Andrew that is just a little older than you. He is 7 years old. Today is his first day of school. His mother has home-schooled him in the past so today is his first actual day in a real school. I am hoping that he is having as much fun as you have in your school. Julianna, you are an angel and God has blessed your family by giving them an angel like you. I will be praying for you everyday and will continue reading your website to get updates. Good bless you and your family.... Michele McIovr – Union Grove, AL – 08/03/09 2:09 PM Hey. I'm Michele and I'm sixteen years old (well, I will be one month from today). I watched Discovery Health's feature on Juliana yesterday afternoon and, just like everyone else, apparently, fell in love with Juliana Wetmore. Your story is inspiring and Juliana's life is nothing short of miraculous. For Juliana, God has made every person special and not without a purpose. Never should you believe that you are excluded from that. For Tami, know that even in Middle-Of-Nowhere-Ville, Alabama, our prayers are with you. I wish I could do more for you and your family, but, for now, prayer is all I've got. God keeps his hand on your family and we all love Juliana :) I wish you the best of luck and all of the blessings God can give.
God Bless,
Michele Kitty Ann McIvor Carolyn Moore – Richardson, Tx – 08/03/09 11:55 AM YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL! I love you Darlin! My husband (Bud) and I have been praying for you and your family since watching the documentary on your little life last night and we've fallen in love with you. Your strength and endurance are God given and YOUR little laughter....well I must say....NO ONE has any right to say Anything how they have had to endure such frivolous things all they need to do is watch you and how you've done so beautifully. I and Bud are BELIEVING GOD for a Complete Miracle for you and your family in every part of your lives naturally, spiritually and financially. God IS STILL GOD and HE IS STILL THE MIRACLE WORKING CREATING GOD IN ALL OF HEAVEN, EARTH AND THE BEYOND! Years ago my little brother was born without liver ducts/ bile ducts and so many other things that he was not suppose to live. He was given 3 hrs at the most. Well that was 45 YEARS ago! GOD CREATED ALL the things missing in him and all his life he has preached The Word, Sung and ministered to the lost, laying hands in healing ministry, etc. His website is TDministries.org for Evangelist Tommy Drumm. My husband, Bud, is a Viet Nam veteran who God brought back to life in the jungles of Viet Nam......so I Know GOD can DO ANYTHING.....we just have to BELIEVE and HE said HE would do it! I will continue to check in with you and your family. HOLD STRONG AND FAST in GOD and we continue to pray for every hand, person, thought/decision be directed and sent by God to you and your family. Kerre, Keara – Gainesville, VA – 08/03/09 11:39 AM We are so sad that Julianna has to have so many operations. We hope that she will be ok and have fun at school soon. We are praying for the whole family.

She is a wonderful little girl and an inspiration.
She has the most important thing in the world that every person should be so lucky to have. She has LOVE and a wonderful family!!!!
I want you to know you are in my prayers and I will pray the infection and surgery go well.

Take care of your self now too.Drink lots of blueberry tea or cranberry tea. It will help ward off the strep.

WhiteHawk – Detroit,Mi – 08/03/09 12:03 AM WOW!!!!What a great kid!!!!It is so special to see a kid so happy and not grouchy all the time. You sign so well that one day maybe you could teach me. I am much older and I have to wear a special mouth piece for my TMJ. I am 49 years old and not as brave as you. You go get them little angel and you show them how to do first grade really really well. Jean – Wentzville, MO – 08/03/09 12:02 AM I was watching Juliana's inspirational story on Discovery Health. She is truly an amazing child, and you are both amazing parents. I was so sorry to hear she she is back in the hospital. I will definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers as she goes in for surgery tomorrow. Amy – Northern Florida – 08/02/09 11:57 PM Hello,
I am sitting her watching your show 5 years later and it is bringing back many memories. I was the big sister (Kendra) in your family and my little sister was burned at 13 months old. She went through many of the same surgeries as Juliana. I read she has an infection in her back expander. My sister had the same problem with her scalp one. I healed fine although the scar is a little worse than it should have been. I feel for you having to fill the expander's. I remember my mom doing them and she always cried after ward. I also feel for Kendra, as I know how it feels like your being left out, scared of your sister making it in surgery, and dealing with mean people in school who tease your sister. My family never dealt with things exactly like your family is. We did make it though, I am now 33 and my sister is 30, my parents are still married and even had a little sister that is now 22. All of these surgeries and rough times are worth it. Juliana can end up a beautiful person inside and out. My sister, Shaunna, is actually very conceited now and it is the best to see her self confidence. I wish your family the best of luck and happiness now and in the future! May God bless you all!
Amy B.
Julie Lewis – Brooklet, Georgia – 08/02/09 11:54 PM What an amazingly brave and strong little girl Juliana is!

Nancy Terrell – Upstate New York – 08/02/09 9:03 PM To Tami, Thom and your two little angels:
I just saw Juliana's story on the televsion and was so moved by both your little angels strength and your family's strong bond, that I felt it only appropriate to send a message of love and hope to you. I pray that both little angels feel better soon. My prayers are with you all. God bless.
Lilian Perschetz – East Windsor NJ – 08/02/09 8:29 PM Dear Juliana, Tami, Thom & Kendra, Our prayers and thoughts are with you and all your family!! Dear Juliana and Kendra get well soon! Christen Gagnon – Panama City, FL – 08/02/09 7:43 PM Hi Tami and Thom, it's Sunday Aug 2nd 6:30pm and Julianna's back surgery (the expander) is on TV...It prompted me to write. I don't know you guys at all, so many times the Lord wakes me up to pray for you all. I pray Juliana will recover faster from surgeries than any other person undergoing surgery (smile) I do pray the surgeries will eventually stop for Juliana, I'm so hoping all this will plane off for her soon. May she and her sister have a blessed and wonderful 2009-10 school year without many bumps in the road. You are loved in Panama City, FL—Christen G. pam Bebon – Savannah, Georgia – 08/02/09 7:41 PM Wetmores:
I love you so much for your love and encouragement of Juliana. I must say, she is totally an inspiration to me when I think I can't go on any more, all I need to do is think of our ANGEL and I am back on my feet again.
Through my prayers, as well as those of countless others, I am tugging God's sleeve to keep our precious one in his sights and help her through this next journey.
Thank you for keeping all updated. Payers and Love to all of you—Nurse Jeanne too!
Love yas,
p Betty Lewon – San Diego CA – 08/02/09 7:14 PM Juliana & family,

Gisela Kingsbury – Canada – 08/02/09 2:23 PM Our hearts and love are with you. Bill and Gisela Teri – Des Moines, Iowa – 08/02/09 1:57 PM This doesn't usually happen—but today I felt very led to visit your site. I usually only visit once a month or so to find out the latest news.
Today, I felt God saying, "Go see about the Wetmores" And I saw your prayer request about Juliana and Kendra.
Just know that God must be stirring up people to pray for you!! So, I'm on my knees now for you and your whole family. May He protect, heal, and bless you all. Linda Horner – Madeira Beach FL – 07/31/09 10:20 PM Juliana,
You and your family have had a very busy summer with summer school,your surgery or surgeries and other family activities and now you are about 3 weeks away from the start of the regular school year.
Will you be attending a special school or will you be attending a regular school attending regular classes with some special classes mixed in?
I like the idea of special needs children being in a regular classroom as much as possible and getting assistance or extra help when needed. I think this helps the other children learn about speciall needs and helps them to deal with children with special needs and treat them as normally as possible.
In Your case while in your normal classroom sessions you are also a teacher along with your teacher in teaching your classmates sign language.
I wish you and Kendal the best of luck in the new school year.
Linda Kristi Morris – Abilene, TX – 07/26/09 3:02 PM Hello Wetmore Clan and Nurse Jeanne!!! I hope the summer is going well. Just wanted you guys to know I was thinking of all of you with loving thoughts!!!
Sending lots of love your way!
Sincerely-
Kristi Alberto – Colombia (South America) – 07/25/09 8:04 PM Hi Thom, Tami, and specialy Juliana, first I want you to know that I admire you both Tami and Thom, because made a very wise desicion of letting Juliana to continue living; and you Juliana because you are part of a few people that is greacefull of live, living it always looking at the most beautiful part of life. Finally I wanted you to know that here in Colombia, Juliana, Thom and Tami, you all have a friend and again thanks for being an example of truth living.
p.s: excuse me if there are any mistakes in the spelling jeje. Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, NY – 07/24/09 5:01 PM Hey there my tall glass of sassyfrass. I have to think of new and improved silly terms of endearment. Pretty soon you'll be telling me "that's SO annoying!!" like your friend Alicia. Yep...you'll cross over to the dark side just as she has and won't find me so funny anymore. I think I have a few years until that day comes so—tell mommy to squeeze that booty for me!!!!!!!!!! Alicia is NOT amused anymore when I give hers a pinch!! We mothers can't help ourselves!! You're all too delicious to pass up! I miss you guys so much. But remember what I've always said—you don't ever have to walk around when I'm there...I guess as you get taller you can just ride piggy back my darling girl.
I love you muchisimo!!
Yvette Samantha Gush – CA – 07/22/09 3:19 PM Dear family,
I wanted to send some words that would help encourage. I'm not very good at writing my feelings other than in poetry. So I wrote this:
May God bless the patient hands that give a loving touch,
Sometimes it gets hard and it’s hope that you may clutch.
May God bless the patient minds when life may seem unfair,
There are often times that it may seem the loads to big to bear.
Not only were you blessed with a gift that first birthday,
A gift of will and strength he gave to help in every way.
These gifts he gave to you with your loving heart in mind,
He knew that you would always love and be so very kind.
May God bless the patient love that heals from inside out,
To bless your family and any time you have a doubt.
May God bless all of those around that help you make it through,
Juliana, best of all, our prayers go out to you.
Bless you all!
With love, Samantha
www.samanthagush@mac.com cid – Miami, FL – 07/21/09 12:52 AM I just want to say I hope God helps you guys out and in the end it'll work out I know.
I feel bad this happened to you guys but I'm happy that she's alive, and as I've read, happy and doing well :] I believe God does things for a reason and he's got a plan for your daughter and it's a good one.
You guys should add a PayPal option as well but that's just a suggestion.
Take care all of you. Laura – Canada – 07/19/09 3:51 PM Hi Juliana:
Just to let you know that there is someone up north praying for you and thinking about you. You look so pretty in your outfits. What a blessing you are.
I am a mom of 2 girls so I remember when they were little and how I loved putting them in pretty dresses like you have.
Keep Strong!!
Laura :) Ann – NY, NY – 07/19/09 11:52 AM Dear Juliana and your mommy and daddy! When I saw you on TV for the first time, I thought it was amazing that you didn't give up on your little girl. As the mother myself, I understand and respect your every decision. Parenthood is a difficult thing, but you have a very brave and bright young lady to raise and I wish you all the best in your life ahead! Not every person with no visible health problems would be able to handle such circumstances with Juliana's grace and positive attitude. I looked through the pictures on your web-site and it appears to me that Juliana's appearance has improved drastically, but I understand that this is not yet the end of your medical journey. Your web-site also says that you are planning to adopt a Ukrainian girl with Treacher-Collins syndrome, which is a great thing to do, because she will never be able to have a normal life if she remains in Ukraine. If it wasn't for people like you, she would, probably, spend the rest of her life in the nursing home for disabled and conditions in the post-soviet Nursing homes are often deplorable... God Bless you for all what you have endured so far and what is to come ahead! Ann. Sonya in FL – Central Florida – 07/17/09 3:38 PM Hello Wetmore Family,
I just finished watching Juliana's Story for the second time. I just had to check and see how she's progressing. I'm so glad you had a terrific year in kindergarten, Juliana! You will love first grade! (I taught first grade for 23 years, but I'm in second grade now!)
What I especially noticed in the show was how sweet and tender Kendra is! The pictures on this site further confirm the girls' love for one another. Kendra, your sweet spirit is evident in your smile and demeanor.
Mom and Dad, you are doing so many things right! What a precious family you have. You are all a wonderful inspiration to others. May God continue to bless you all!
Sincerely,
Sonya Diane Bawcum – Macomb, Mi – 07/16/09 2:56 PM Hi Juliana!
I've only written one other time, but check your progress regularly. My two granddaughters, ages 6 and 4 are over today. I was checking your site when they asked who is that? I told them a little about your story and they both wanted to leave you a message.
From Lily age 6:
I think you look pretty even though you had to have surgery. You look very nice and very kind. I want to be your friend.
From Emma age 4:
My name is Emma and I want to be your friend. I want to put a heart on your website. Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, NY – 07/16/09 5:33 AM Hey there my little...er, actually, my long legged sassy girl!! Sorry I haven't written to you in such a long time...your buddy Elias has me dizzy! I was very entertained by Mommy's update. Especially the part where she says you'll have "no excuse to not listen"!?!? Please thank her for such a knee slapping, LOL!!! How many times have I said I can picture you just taking off your "ears" even easier once you don't have the headband and informing her that you didn't hear her!?!? " what was that?" "come again??" "oh, were you talking to me??" Oh wait—haven't you ALREADY told her that you're "not listening now...I'll listen LATER"!!??
LOL indeed.
I love you so much sassyfrassy,
Yvette joanna – NY – 07/12/09 12:34 AM I remember seeing Julia's story a few years ago. I am happy to see that she is making progress.
Looking at her photos and seeing how involved you have made her in everyday activities brings tears of joy to my eyes.
I realize something tonight .....that beauty is not what "society" defines it as....it has a bigger meaning...not what they display on the cover of magazines. Julia is truly beautiful!!!! She is lucky to have such caring parents. Good job guys.
May God bless you, you are all in my prayers :)
Joanna. Kathleen Burton – Kansas – 07/07/09 4:56 PM I was just cruising through the youtube videos when I saw one about this little girl. I have never heard of such a condition.
It is so beautiful to see that the family loves her as well as her doctor.
Lianne – Ohio – 07/07/09 9:56 AM Tami,
I didn't know that you had an older daughter. I thought that you had Juliana and Kendra. Well I hope you had fun at the Great Wolfe Lodge. Where is it?
Well Have a fun summer Juliana!~
Lianne diana sturdevant – salamanca, ny – 07/03/09 12:22 PM Hello Julianna and family, my daughter and I have been following your story since the beginning. You are truly an amazing little girl. Keep up the good work and have fun in school this year. God bless you and your family...........diana and paris amber peterson – dunn, nc – 07/02/09 2:54 PM hello juliana :)!

love always,
amber <3 :) Kathy Hall – Minooka, IL – 06/29/09 3:49 PM Hi, Sweet Pea! Just talked to Gramma Colleen and she said you're on your way home right now from Dallas. I'm sure you had a great time with all your friends there, but it's always nice to get back home, too. Remember how I said once that you and Lauren seemed to like to do things at the same time? Well, you sure do! She had pneumonia, too...right about the same time you did! She's doing good now...can't keep either of you down for very long. :) It sounds like you and Mommy and Daddy and Keni are all keeping really busy this summer. Keep having fun, Ana! We love you and all send big hugs! Keep "keepin' on"! :)
Gramma Happy and the Halls & Quirks Maddie – Massachusetts – 06/28/09 4:40 PM Hi Wetmore Family!
I am a 13 year old girl from massachusetts. As Marielle mentioned below, there is a slideshow on youtube of juliana.
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W42qczXqsI )
I made that to spread awareness of Juliana's condition and I hope that's okay with you, I apologize for not asking permission. Anyways, I just wanted to say hello and see how you all were doing.
Sincerely,
Maddie veronica molina – juarez chihuahua – 06/27/09 3:34 PM hi juliana and family, happy birthday, and also congratulations cause now you are in first grade.
Marielle – Bergeijk, NB, the Netherlands – 06/26/09 9:03 PM Hey Juliana ;-)
I've seen this very nice slideshow video on YouTube and I already reacted overthere but than I found out your page!
I think you are one of the most brave young women I ever met in my life! Euhm well ... I never met you personally but okay ;-)
My cousin's name is Karina and she has Treacher Collins Syndrome too so I do know how hard things can be! She has it in a less "worse" case stage but she already had 23 operations on where 2 nearly killed her 'cause she has only half sized the throat as a "normal" person has and the anesthesia causes a swollen throat ... You can imagine what nearly happened ...
Karina is also mentally delayed, has ASS (Classic Autism), bladder problems and a slight stage of rheuma and she's 35 so only 1.5 years younger as I am ...
She has Hyves but that's in Dutch, nevertheless you can see her face ... http://www.kriemeltje.hyves.nl ;-)
Maybe personal question, but are you still having surgeries to improve things and make it possible that things will be more functional for you like swollowing and so on? (maybe I'm just too direct but just curious)
I wish you good luck and I certainly will come over again to follow your things which keeps you busy!
You're just very brave and handsome!
Love,
Mareille :D miguel – Japan / Philippines – 06/26/09 10:42 AM Hi Juliana,
I hope you are doing well everyday. Always keep up the good work and study hard ok? I am your older brother from Japan. Take care of your parents and ur sister ok. I will email you again. I Love You my little sister...
-miguel Nkemka – Danville PA – 06/26/09 9:41 AM Id just like to say think I think this story is truly amazing. I watched the program about her on t.v with my best friend and her mom and i couldn't stop watching. I love how strong your family is and it's just encouraging to know that you never give up. I'm only 18 years old, but, I love people that have positive out looks on life, and for that, i thank you all. :] Cecilia van der Pol – Amsterdam, The Netherlands – 06/26/09 7:31 AM Dear Juliana and family,
I am really touched by your story. I can't imagine what you've been through with all the surgeries.
I belief what your mother says is the truth, you can become anyone en anything you want! I wish you all the luck and I will continue to read the journals.
By the way, I wonder, does your insurance covers for all the surgery costs en eventually maybe for cosmetic surgery?
Lots of love and greetings Cecilia Francine Sartor (MizSartor) – Detroit, Mich – 06/24/09 3:32 AM Hello Juliana,
I watch the show everytime it comes on, just so I can check up on you and your family.
But mainly you, I love you so very much lil gurl.
Francine. Andre – Windsor, Ontario, Canada – 06/23/09 9:38 PM Hey Wetmore family! I regularly check the site for the latest news so I was glad to read Mom's latest post. Graduated Kindergarten eh? Juliana you're just a life force that shows no sign of slowing. Your attitude clone (my daughter) is clearing grade 2, and my oldest daughter graduated high school this June. (Yeah mom, where did 10 years go eh?) You have so many fans out there, you should seriously consider creating and selling a compilation DVD of TV broadcasts, home video, info, etc., to help pay for some travel costs you have to cover. How great it is to watch this family grow through it all. Take care, Christ's peace go with ya. Gail Zeolla – MI – 06/23/09 7:34 PM Hi Tami family and nurse Jeanne, Loved reading your update on all that's been going on. It seems like just yesterday that you went to this confernece you are going to in Dallas, where is the time going? The girls are getting so big, just want to tell you we think of you all so much and hope you have a great trip, congratualtions to Juliana for finishing school this year too. Hope you all have safe trip, love and prayers always, gail and tony from MI Adam Deutsch – Faribault, MN – 06/23/09 5:18 PM I saw the television show on TV, and it made me cry. I feel so sorry for the poor girl. I wish her the best and my prayers will always be with her.
Adam Damon – Virginia – 06/23/09 4:35 PM I can sympathize with your pain as I too have had several procedures to fix a shoulder. Recovering from surgery is an incredibly excruciating experience. I cannot image how you have been able to withstand so many, other than to say you are the most brave a girl I have ever seen!
No matter how bad it seems during recovery, you will always pull through and be stronger for it. Michelle Smith – Maine – 06/23/09 10:09 AM Tami, How wonderful to share a fraction of your world with you and your girls. I completely admire your strength and courage. The happy chaos was great. Maybe next time you come to Maine it won't rain everyday! Not that it didn't stop you from letting the kids dance in the puddles! YOU ROCK! Stay strong, stay sweet, Love Michelle Reagan M. – Walnut, CA – 06/23/09 1:00 AM Hey, little girl! For some reason, it's like God reminded me to check up on you tonight! My little niece, Avery, just graduated kindergarten, too! I was sooooo proud of her, I cried like a cooky auntie. And when I read what your mommy said about your graduation and saw the picture, I started to cry AGAIN, as if I were YOUR proud auntie!!! Say "Hi" to your mommy for me! 'Love you!
—"Auntie" Reagan Steph – Delaware – 06/22/09 11:26 PM Tami,Thom,Julianna and family
I watched both of the shows and I was very touched by Juliana's story and how she has over come so much in her life.
I truly believe that God does not give us more than we can handle in life also you both must be so blessed with your daugther her light shines through she is so beautiful and amazing.
I will pray for your family and may blessing too.
I have a son who lost oxygen at birth and now has a learning disability at first I could not figure out why it had to happen but through his years I have found out he is special in his own way and I do know the Lord would not have given us more than we could handle in our life there must have been a reason for everything.
I want to thank your husband for serving our country.
Vanessa – Natal - Brazil – 06/22/09 10:41 PM Hi Juliana!!! your story inspire all of us!! God bless you!!!
i know He has big plans for you
greetings from Brazil Maria Jose Bustillo – Tegucigalpa, Honduras – 06/22/09 2:55 AM Hi Juliana, i did read your story, and you have inspired me!
I know god loves you a lot and your friends and family are a prove of it.
I don´t know you, but i already feel proud of you.
Keep it going! and never give up!
I´ll be around..
Hugs, ... MJ Miss Ericka – 06/22/09 12:38 AM I love when you guys are on TV! We always get phone calls from people we haven't talked to in a long time letting us know they saw Ms. T. Kerri Keeler – Connecticut – 06/22/09 12:00 AM I watched the 5 year special last night about Juliana, while my 4 and 2 year old girls were asleep. I watched her do her little signing with her little-girl hands and fingers, and I thought, what a sweet little girl she is, just like my girls. This morning, I talked to my 4 year old about Juliana a little bit. Soon my daughter will be in kindergarden, and I'm sure there will be all sorts of kids that look different from my daughter, that she will meet in the days ahead of her. Juliana is a little girl JUST LIKE YOU, I told her. Juliana plays with dolls, and she dances, and she does all the same things that YOU do, I said. But Juliana looks a little different than you do. She deserves to be treated kindly, the way you would treat EVERYONE else, and would want to be treated yourself. Well after we discussed their differences and similarities, my daughter asked me if I could "call her up so I can talk to her" LOL Well, I told her, I don't think you could understand her very well over the phone. But I was glad to see my daughter Gina's enthusiasm of WANTING to meet Juliana and play with her and just be her friend.
I want to wish your family all the best life has to offer, Juliana is a special girl with a great supportive familiy. May all her dreams come true :) Andrea Tilton – Raleigh, NC – 06/21/09 11:43 PM Hi Tami,
I heard this once:
"God does not call the equipped.
He equips the called."
this reminded me of you...
Blessings to you and your family.
XOXOXO
Andrea suzelle haas – New York City – 06/21/09 9:42 PM Hello Julianna and Family!
We are a family of four... Suzelle, Rochelly, Tyler, and our puppy Lilly.
We saw your TV special and were completely amazed at how special your whole family is! We love the courage you all have, and we were so touched by all the love Kendra shows Julianna every day...
There are no words to express how deeply inspired we were to learn of your story. Julianna's little giggle made us realize that through the tears, this little person's laughter was the loudest emotion!
Tyler would like to say:
Hi Julianna, I am 8 years old, and I also love to dance and play my piano. I also take ballet like you do. I think you are beautiful and if we ever met, we would be great friends! Since you are soooooo smart, maybe you could help me with my math! It is not my favorite subject, I would much rather dance and draw or play my guitar or listen to music!! I would especially like to have a playdate with you. It's too bad we live so far from you. We will keep following your story and we want to know how well you are doing, and what new things are happening in your life.
Julianna and Family, we as a family will continue to keep you in our prayers that your surgeries will continue to be successful. We know they are scary, so we will pray for quick recoveries and courage for you. Tyler would also like to tell you that she really admires Kendra and the way she is such a great big sister to Julianna. Tye also thinks Kendra's style is cool.
Goodbye for now and love from NYC!
Tyler, Rochelly, Suzy, and Lilly! Teena Ridenhour – Charlotte, NC – 06/21/09 9:00 PM You are one incredible family. What an inspiration to the world. I only wish I was half as brave as you Juliana. I know God has BIG plans for you...You are one special girl. I think you are beautiful :) Rachelle Petersen – Fayetteville NC – 06/21/09 1:07 AM Hello Juliana,
I love you Juliana. I think about you all day long. Your soul is truly brighter, stronger, wiser, more radiant and more beautiful then the rest of us. You are unbelievably brave. I hope this world doesn't disappoint you and I pray that you will always be surrounded by those who love and protect you. I am blessed and grateful to have had the chance to know you and love you.
Drew D – Omaha – 06/20/09 10:06 PM When Juliana is old enough I hope she can read this and take it to heart:
Dear Juliana,
You have been given a tough challenge; something that most people won't ever be able to imagine. With personal strength and the support of your family, you can achieve anything. Having lived with such a challenge will only make you stronger in the end.
Believe in yourself and don't let others bring you down. You can overcome anything... I believe this. The world is yours!
-D Andrea Tilton – Raleigh, NC – 06/20/09 9:14 PM Hi Kendra!
I think you are awesome!!!
XOXOXO
Andrea Andrea Tilton – Raleigh, NC – 06/20/09 5:23 PM Hi Juliana!
I love watching you on TV. I have seen you several times, and I love to see what you are up to. What I find inspirational about you and your family is the Grace with which you handle everything. It's so nice to watch you learning new things, and having fun, and loving each other. I look forward to seeing you on TV again soon!
love, hugs and kisses, Andrea william mander JR – Macon, Ga – 06/20/09 5:13 PM Your story was on Discovery Health & we caught this! We are very blessed to have seen your story & have heard about this gift(girl) sent to this world. God definitley had a plan for her to be an example of how women do not need to give up on pregnancies at risk and just abort life!! We wish to keep up with her and support your cause. Our little girl Kaylee is now 15 months old and was born in March as well! Fred Campobasso – Orland Park, IL – 06/20/09 2:01 AM I heard Mr. Wetmore's concerns about kids getting nasty as Juliana gets older. While these concerns are valid, and concerns I myself have as a parent, I'd say not to dwell too much on those thoughts as you have two remarkable young ladies that support each other; that in itself mitigates most of the impact of any ill will directed towards your daughters. It's comforting to see the bond that exists between the girls, you both must be so very proud of them. Without intending to sound obsequious, you have 2 awesome kids, congrats and keep up the great work! Also to Mr. Wetmore, thanks for your service! Amanda MacKenzie – Chicago, Illinois – 06/20/09 12:04 AM Hi Juliana and Tami,
my name is Amanda MacKenzie and I am 23 and a Registered Nurse. I just wanted to say that I think Juliana is a very brave little girl and I admire her so very much. I also think that Tami, you are a wonderful mother and I can only hope to be as good of a mom one day as you are. I am so touched by your strength as a family and your love for one another. I really do admire all of you.
God Bless you all,
Sincerely,
Amanda MacKenzie Leslieann Lee – Plainfield Indiana – 06/19/09 9:07 PM Words can't fully express how much your family's story has touched me. Thank you for sharing! I'm blessed to see the courage and love that the family as a whole exhibits...and was really impressed with the strength and bravery Juliana shows—what an awesome girl she is!! :) Kylie Capobianco – Ramey, PA – 06/19/09 1:49 PM Hi,
I watched your show on Discovery Health last night. I also have 2 daughters. Your two reminded me of Morgan and Alayna. Both of your girls are so sweet! Alayna was born very sick and she gets physical and Occupational therepy because she lost oxygen when she was born. She has some motor skill delays. She will be starting kindergarten in the fall and she will have an aid to help her. Alayna has turned out to be the most helpful and caring child. She never wants anyone to feel left out; I ask her who is her bestfriend and she says "all of them", that is her answer whenever she has a choice about anything! I still hold her, and want to carry her. I read on here that you do the same.
Juliana's story has really meant alot to me. It brought up so many feelings and memories. I have added your family into my prayers. I know as a mother how precious our kids are to us. There is nothing more important. You are a wonderful mother and I cannot tell you how much watching the show has meant to me. Thanks for sharing it! Sondra – Port Huron, Michigan – 06/19/09 1:31 PM Thank you, Tami & Thom for sharing your inspirational stories and your two beautiful, talented, girls. You two look beautiful in your matching dresses sitting in the rocker. That's a priceless photo. Juliana you are a very unique person. You are such a joy and brighten my day every time I see you. You are so lucky to have an awesome big sister to watch out for you, I always wanted one. Now, when I get down in the dumps I think "would Juliana sit here moping? ... nope", and I pick myself up and get going about my day. I watched your Documentary last night, it was wonderful. You guys are amazing, through good times and not-so-good times you all stick together and all I see is love. It doesn't get better than that!
Thanks for sharing ... Sondra Lee Melissa Marie – Alexandria, VA – 06/19/09 12:00 PM When you're beautiful on the inside, you can see that on the outside. I see nothing but beauty when I look at you, Juliana! You're also one smart cookie.
I am so glad I didn't turn in early last nite and was able to watch your story. I'm rooting for you and your family all the way. You've greatly inspired me as I go through my day. Rebecca Swindull – St. Augustine, Florida – 06/19/09 11:51 AM I saw Juliana's story for the first time last night on TV. At first I was shocked by the pictures of Juliana when she was first born, and my heart filled with grief for your famly. However, after merely 5 minutes of watching the program and seeing the pride you (Mr. & Mrs. Wetmore) have in your little girl, it became evident to me what an amazing little girl Julianna is. Even through the TV screen, her inner beauty was radiant. What a neat, strong, awe-inspiring little girl you two have! She has more strength and courage than I do at 23 years old. Julianna's story and sweet spirit touched my heart & I will pray for you and your family from here on out. The Michael C. Chapman song is so true—the finger prints of God are all over your little girl and she is truely a beautiful creation of our Lord. God bless you and may He give you all strength as you continue in your incredible journey. Thank you for being such an inspiration Julianna! Jaisely Dean – Southeast Arkansas – 06/19/09 11:37 AM I saw Julianna's story last night on television and I am amazed with your little girl...she is so intelligent and well adjusted, a true hero for sure! I am looking forward to hearing more about her precious life. Give her a big hug from her friend in Arkansas! God Bless you all!! :) Kristin Wong – Topeka, KS – 06/19/09 11:19 AM I saw the show last night and wanted to send my best wishes your way and I will be keeping you all in my prayers. What a strong family you have and Juliana just projects her strength, it is obvious. Thank you for sharing her story. I look forward to keeping up with her progress. What a little miracle she is!! Libby Boulais – Indianapolis – 06/19/09 10:58 AM Dear Juliana,
Our family watched your 5 year show last night and were touched by your courage and sparkling personality. You are so lucky to have such a strong Mommy and loving Daddy, and a loving and caring big sister.
You will always be in our thoughts and prayers.
God bless! Christine Schnatterer – New Castle, DE – 06/19/09 10:49 AM Juliana has such a beautiful brave face and a wonderful sense of self. She will be in my heart and prayers forever and I will look forward to following her progress. She is blessed with a wonderful supportive family and I just wanted to say how beautiful her pictures are. I love the dance recital pose and I can relate to the ones with the rigid external distraction device in place. Our son, now age 20, was born with a severe bilateral cleft lip and palate. He has always had a strong sense of self. His sister, our firstborn, was born with the most severe type of craniofacial anomaly and because her brain was severely affected, she could not live. So when our son came along we were so thankful that his brain was not affected that it was easy for us to accept his facial differences. I want to congratulate Tami and Thom on some pretty amazing parenting skills. You are setting an excellent example of courage and support for all. I can look at Juliana's face and see into your hearts. Elizabeth Snow – Boston, MA – 06/19/09 10:25 AM To the dear Wetmore ladies, along with their hero father,
Hello! Like many of the other commenters here, I had the opportunity to watch your story on the Discovery channel last night. Your strength and courage in the face of difficulty is entirely admirable. And all of the while I was thinking to myself: what about piano lessons for Juliana? And I was so happy to see that, according to a roughly recent post, Juliana has been beginning piano lessons. How wonderful! :o)
Juliana is quite the special young lady. Her resilience is amazing to see. And to see the way that her sister cares for her is a wonderful blessing as well. And how wonderful that you gave the doctor an odd look when he'd proposed that you might consider ending such a precious life, especially in a time where life is only "valued" if it's "convenient"!! I will keep your family in my prayers, and am looking forward to hearing about Juliana's next update. Perhaps sometime we could hear about her musical progress.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Brandi Martin – Wylie, Tx – 06/19/09 9:37 AM Hello Wetmore family,
I watched Juliana's show last night on discovery channel and was moved beyond belief. I have a daughter who is 8 years old and was born with cerebral palsy. She has endured many surgeries, rude comments, and stares. It is so hard to be brave in the face of monumental struggles. Sometimes I lay awake at night and cry at how mean some kids and adults can be to my daughter. All children seek from us is love and acceptance. Why can't people see this?
I am amazed and filled with awe at how you both meet these challenges with love and hopeful optimism. You have raised a beautiful child who shines from the inside out. My son who is 10 years old watched your show with me and he felt an immediate connection with Kendra. He is my daughters special hero and protector much like Kendra is with Juliana. Every pain she feels, he feels and every heartbreak she feels, he also feels. They are very close. I am lucky to have have such wonderful children.
I just wanted you to know that every time you feel scared, alone, mad, or sad, there are others like me out there who have been through similar challenges. I feel for you and pray for your family. Life is full of hopefulness and miracles every day.
Ginger Fetterman – Bismarck, North Dakota – 06/19/09 2:49 AM I just saw a documentary of Juliana on the discovery health channel, I am just amazed at the progress that your family has made and journey that you have undertaken. As I sit here and write I try to imagine what it would be like for our family to walk in your shoes, we have 5 grown boys and a special gift of a daughter who will be 16 months old on the 21rst of this month, and I cannot fathom the life you have.
There aren't many words I can say to describe what I am feeling accept to say Juliana is indeed a beautiful stong little lady, and you are truly blessed to have her, God must have known how special you and your husband are to give you your special daughter. Juliana will be a hero of mine, I am not sure that I could endure what she has in such a short life, she is amazing.
Good luck and God speed in healing for your daughter as she goes through her journey with the doctors, I would love to see where her life leads her in times to come. Way to Go Juliana, and congratulations on your graduation from Kindergarten. Enrique_Himself – Paso Robles, CA – 06/19/09 2:43 AM Hey,
I just watched the show "Born Without A Face: 5 yrs. Later." Like an hour ago. I just gave my life to Christ and I remember when I used to complain about how much I hated my life. Now seeing your daughter's story, and to just see how she doesn't complain about her situation, just touches my heart. Remember that she is still a miracle because she was born alive. I know that God put julianna in a good home. I'll keep her and your family in my prayers. You should check out "Life without limbs." Its a touching story. You can check it out on "Youtube."
God Bless!
-Enrique Garin Dee Dee Anderson – Richmond, VA – 06/19/09 2:33 AM I just saw the documentary tonight for the first time and I cannot tell you how much it blessed me. Your family's strength speaks volumes for your faith in God. This was encouraging to me.
My continued prayers for your family and I pray God's continuous blessings for your beautiful girls.
Donna – Piedmont, SC – 06/19/09 2:18 AM I just finished watching your story about Juliana's journey so far. She is just so precious...I want to learn sign language so bad!!! We have a special blessing in our family too. The doctors told us she wouldn't live to be 8 years old but she just turned 29. God had other plans! I just wanted to tell you all that you are doing a great job with Juliana and I look forward to keeping up with her progress. I truly believe that God is already using her and can't wait to see how He will use her in the future.
Donna Russell Travis Coombs – Reno, NV – 06/19/09 2:13 AM Dear Juliana,
I was introduced to your story on the Discovery Health channel.
As a father of 2 daughters aged 2 and 4, I wanted to communicate to you my sincere admiration and appreciation for your spirit and zest for life. I am sending my prayers to the Lord for your well being and speedy recovery for any future surgeries you may have to endure. You are a miracle, and have touched my heart in a very special way. May God bless you and your family. You are an exceptional person and are destined for exceptional things. I pray that you are able to maintain your vibrant spirit and positive outlook on life. May you find peace and happiness in life as you deserve nothing but the best in everything that you do. God bless you!
Very sincerely,
Travis Coombs Kimberly Stuckey – Jackson, Mississippi – 06/19/09 2:11 AM To the Wetmore's,
You are indeed an extraordinary family. It is obvious that your strength comes from above. I encourage you to continue to share your story, and surround yourself around positive people. May the grace of God continue to encompass you in his wings. Be blessed! God loves you and so does your Mississippi family!!!! April Hill – Carthage, MO. – 06/19/09 2:09 AM I applaude you Tami and Thom, for remaining strong in your commitment to each other and to your family. Too often, marriages can not stand the strain of having a special needs child, with Juliana being a particularly tough case. I am so very happy that you two are still thriving in the midst of adversity. I just watched the '5 years later' show, and I was amazed at how much Juliana has progressed and how much she knows and how well she functions. I watched the first episode a while back, and the change from then to now is phenominal, she communicates so well. She is truly an amazing child, and a lesson for everyone. She is happy despite her challenges, which are much harder than what the average person might encounter. She is a wonderful role model and surely when she is older she will become an inspiration to other special needs people, she proves that anything is possible. Good luck with all that you do, and also Thom, with any future deployments you may have. Thank you for your service. I look forward to seeing how Juliana progresses. heather – Anaheim, CA – 06/19/09 2:03 AM Juliana and her sister are growing into lovely girls you must be so proud. I admire your family's will to make you children's life the best it can be. God Bless Sarah Lail-Johnson – Blythewood South Carolina – 06/19/09 1:39 AM Hello,
I have watched the story on the t.v. Set and I have read things about the situation on the computer. This is a very sad story and I will keep the family in my thoughts and prayers. God has a bigger plan for Juliana than any of us could begin to fathom. . I wish the family and Juliana the best of luck in life and in everything that you do . .
*FROG* Fully Rely On God
Jacqui Odell – Daleville, Alabama – 06/19/09 1:28 AM I have been to many places, seen many people; read many stories. No one has ever inspired me like Juliana. I would adore being able to meet her one day, if that's ok. I just want to give her a big hug, and thank her for inspiring me and giving us so much hope. Every time I see this precious girl, I simultaneously smile and cry because she invokes so much emotion; so much love in my heart. I am so glad she is here. Jimmy – Baltimore – 06/19/09 12:48 AM Juliana is truely beautiful.

You have gone through a lot and Dr. Wolfe and his team have really helped you so much and you and your family and nurse Jeanne can also be proud as it is a team effort of all of you.
You are doing great. Keep up the good work.
Linda

Best wishes to all. Jessica Jankila – Sandstone, Minnesota – 06/18/09 11:05 PM Myself and my daughter (age 9) just watched your special about you and your daughter's surgeries with the shoulder skin graph. You are an amazing strong mother with a beautiful special daughter and an older daughter that is so loving and helpful. It must be emotionally hard that your girl has to endure such surgeries and that you are alone when your hubby is serving. My daughter has Apserger's Syndrome and ADHD with Sensory Disorder also and I understand the need to do everything possible to help your child. I wish you and Juliana and the rest of your family the best. God bless you all. Hope Juliana heals well and goes back to school a trooper! Sincerely, Jessica and Alyssa. kelley Gagnon – Boston,Mass – 06/18/09 10:57 PM Dear Wetmore Family,

You are a wonderful mother and it is so wonderful how great you are with your daughter you can really see your never ending love for Julianna. I wish you and your husband the best for your family and two beautiful daughters. Please know Julianna is in my prayers, thank you so much for sharing your story.

Elisa Santillan – Mexico – 06/15/09 5:12 PM Hi Juliana!! Here at my work we are all so happy of seeing you grow up, and we all know without a doubt you have one of the biggest challenges of human beings and that is to teach people how to see beyond the flesh... Teach everyone to see with their spirit Juliana, we all know you can do it!!! You have or heart and our prayers, let us know if you ever need something from us, we will be proud of making you smile!!! Iris – Shanghai – 06/14/09 8:36 PM Hi everyone. I found your website while I was searching for photos of cheek reconstruction, and I've been so inspired by the patience and sweetness Mrs. Wetmore describes, not just between herself and Juliana, but everyone in the family. Although I feel a bit strange sending wishes to a family I've never met, I really do wish you all the satisfaction and prosperity you can bear. bianca reynolds – Killeen, TX – 06/13/09 12:01 PM hi! im so sorry about the unfortunate events that have happened in your, and your angels life! she is such a strong angel! my daughter is 7 months old and had her first surgery about 2 weeks ago, it was heart breaking. and i know how you feel :( i wish you and juliana the very best of luck and she is so normal... i wish to encounter such a wonderful girl one day in my life.

It was probably about 2 years ago that I first found out about you guys. I think that all of you, especially you Juliana, are an inspiration. Its amazing to see how strong all of you are as people and you have touched my heart in such a wonderful way. You really are a little angel Juliana!
Best wishes to all of the family and my thoughts and prayers are with all of you!
Love
Craig, 18 Ashley Gilbert – Mesa, AZ. – 06/01/09 1:46 AM Hello! I have been following your families story with the rest of the world and I truly think you are wonderful people. You could have taken the "easy" way out when you were pregnant, but chose to give this little girl life.
I noticed that there is now a new episode of "born with-out a face" but I do not have Discovery Health Channel anymore. Is it on the internet anywhere? I can not find it. I would really like to see the update on Juliana. Alvin Phair – Northern Ireland – 05/31/09 9:13 PM Hello again Wetmore clan!
WOW! Just watched another programme on Juliana, the second since I saw the 'Born without a face' film.
I am astonished at how brave you all are, this film leaves no doubt as to what daily challenges are encountered and as a family, you triumph!
A person could go on writing about individual scenes that captured a moment but I think the winning scene for me is hearing Juliana speak!!! Exquisite....!
All our love: Alvin & Family X0X0X0
Vikram Udyawar – Dubai – 05/30/09 12:52 PM I just read about Juliana. My friends and I send our love. :)
*hugs* little Juliana.
-Vik Crystal – Seattle – 05/27/09 3:50 AM I just saw clearly God's glory on this little girl and the whole family helped to make it shine even brighter! Your extraordinary faith in Jesus is a true blessing in many people's lives. God makes no mistake. I am sure, He is doing great things in Juliana's life. We saw it, and we will continue to see many more miracles. Our flesh will fade out very soon, our physical is just so temporary, what will remain is our souls. We can't fathom how much love Jesus is pouring on Juliana. She is His princess. Lord Jesus, show your glory in this family! Shower them with your countless blessings! May their lives in you be countless blessings to many souls! Please continue to protect Juliana as she is growing up. Teach her to lean on you totally and be faithful like mom and dad! Amen.

Gramma Happy (Kathy), Grampa Maynard...Erica & Pete, Meg, Lindsey, your buddy Lauren, and Melly Thomas Nielsen – Denmark – 05/22/09 11:28 AM Hello Juliana
I saw a program about you last night on tv. Just wanna say what a strong and lovely girl you are. I wish you and your wonderful family the very best future. Charlotta – Stockholm, Sweden – 05/22/09 9:38 AM Hi! I just saw the latest (I think) documentary about Juliana and wanted to see if I could find any more info on how you all are doing. I think you have a fantastic and very brave girl, and I think you're very strong and brave too. I can not even begin to imagine how it feels to carry your scared, crying child in to the operating theatre, knowing she is going to be in pain when she wakes up. You truly inspired me, being as strong and selfless as you are—the natural respons would probably bee to run, to pretect your self and your child from the pain, but you look above it, above yor self, and do what you belive to be the best thing for her in the long run—even thoug it probably brakes your heart at times. I hope that, if I am lucky enough to have children some day, that I can be even half as good a parent as you are. // Charlotta Angela – Miami, FL. – 05/21/09 7:19 PM Hey Juliana,
I just wanted to stop by after I saw a very inspirational video of you on youtube.
You are the bravest girl I've ever seen and your story made me realize that I have to thank God for everything he's given me and to not complain for any minor issue I could have like scoliosis.
YOU ROCK JULIANA <3
Love,
Angela [: Linda – Sweden – 05/21/09 6:23 PM How many documentaries have Juliana been in?

Have a really nice day, i wish you the best of best :)
Regards, Steffen. Christina – Sweden – 05/21/09 5:28 PM Hi,
I just watched the documentary about Juliana. I was really touched by her story. I my self have three boys (age 7, 5 and 2) and I cant imagine the struggles that you have been through. Seeing your day to day battle makes me realise how much I let the trivial things in life take time from whats really important. Careing and loveing eachother. I sincerelly hope that all is well with you and that the operations still to come are a success.
/Best regards from the north of Sweden Natalia Galaz – Concepción, Chile – 05/21/09 4:33 PM Family,
I live in Concepcion Chile, in Southamerica, and I'm doing a practice in the hospital because I study Phisiotherapy. I met a girl called Martina in the hospital, she is so sweet! Since I couldn't get enough information about her case in the hospital, I started investigating about Treacher Collins. This is how I met Juliana's story. Really amazing!
I want you to know that I really admire the sweetness and the angel that Juliana, just as Martina, transmits. I think you're really special people. I think you have so much to teach people all around the world!! Because you're very couraged and you have so much love in your family.
I'm sure that you will continue to have many exits in your lives, just as the many exits you've already achieved. And I can also prove that your family is really fortunate, because you've got people that admire you and that love your family so far away from home!!
Thank-you for sharing a little bit of your story with us.
From the other side of the world,
Natalia jane hall – uk – 05/21/09 6:49 AM hi guys,

today I'm very happy because the sun is shining and I decided this morning to let you all a little message from France. This morning I took my breakfast on my terrace, I smelt the beautiful perfume of all my flowers, I watched one og my trees ( I don't know its name even in french looool ) its a pink tree sweet as a feather....but it rests beautiful just 2 weeks in the year...And I thought to you...And I thought we have a lot of luck to be on earth...The life is so short, it's so amazing to come on earth, it seems to be so improbable to have the luck to come on earth...
I'm so happy to be on earth with you...
Many many many many....kisses to you and all your family from me and all my family

XX Michael Dalzell – Sunderland - United Kingdom – 05/16/09 3:25 AM Hey guys!
How are you all doing!?
After I recently saw the program about Juliana, here in the UK, I felt compelled to say Hello!
I admit, when I watched the program, I shed a tear or two. Not from sympathy or pity, but from the sheer amount of love between yourself and your family! You see other families on TV, and that “spark” is just not there as it is between your family.
You are an amazing girl Juliana, and you have many friends worldwide who are thinking of you.
Since my family and I saw you on TV, we have lit a candle for you each night, and send positive energy to yourself and your family.
Take care Juliana, and keep being amazing—but most of all, enjoy your life and aspire towards great things!
Love and Bright Blessings,
Michael Sally Anne Walter – uk – 05/15/09 6:45 PM if anyone here has a problem, just look at Juliana and it kinda puts your own problems in to 'perspective' don't it? I f she can overcome her problems, I am embarrassed I let such 'MINOR' things bother me!!!!!!!!
Thank you Juliana hunny.
LIVE A LONG TIME AND BE HAPPY HUN.XXXXXXXXXXXXXX Sally Anne Walter – berkshire. UK – 05/15/09 6:37 PM I think we could get on great. Wanna chat?
My problems are small compared to yours but u have 'overcome them'. WTG.xxx Sally Anne Walter – berkshire UK – 05/15/09 6:31 PM Your daughter is a perfect example that anyone can overcome ANYTHING! She is such a gorgeous young lady (inside and out) how could anyone judge by appearance?
If you ever come to the UK Heathrow, Terminal 5...... please come to tickets and ask for Sally. 'The lady with the long hair and the 'blue' fingernails.
I would love to meet her. She is absolutely the most lovely girl i have ever seen (even if it is only on tv!).
It would be great if you could come to UK to educate people, because ..working at the airport ..I see so MUCH prejudice! I think it is lack of education. She could help.
If it isn't possible, no matter. please give her my regards and my utmost respect.xxxxxxxxxxx.My number is (in UK) 01753-824504.
i WISH HER A LONG AND HAPPY LIFE.
Beauty is on the inside!!

Paul – UK – 05/14/09 5:53 PM Hi Juliana. Like lots of others here in the UK I saw you on TV tonight—you're a celebrity! You know I have to lie down when the doctor takes my blood so I don't pass out. So when I heard of the operations you have had, I wanted to say hi and that I think you are a very brave and special person. You have a great family too. I hope you are enjoying your first year at school. Have a great summer!
Hugs
Karen Ankers – Stoke-on Trent, England – 05/14/09 5:37 PM Hi Juliana and your lovely family.
I was moved beyond words when I watched last night's programme aired on UK's Channel 5. To see the way Juliana embraces life and all that there is to learn and explore, well it reminded so much of my own 5 year old daughter.
You are all truly wonderful people—a shining example to all of us. From the bottom of my heart I wish you well and will be following your progress as you grow and develop.
Sending you much love and hugs.
Karen x x x x Faren Gambrill – London, UK – 05/14/09 5:20 PM You are an absolutley amazing little girl Juliana. My wife Maria and I wish you and your family the best of luck with everything that you do. God Bless x x x Emma – UK – 05/14/09 5:13 PM I first heard about your remarkable little girl a few months ago. I work as a Nursery Nurse/Child Life Specialist on a children's ward, and a little baby boy with Treacher-Collins syndrome was admitted, so I did a little internet research to better understand his condition.
I was incredibly moved by Juliana's story, and this evening, I watched the documentary that aired on Five television, here in the UK.
Juliana, you are such a beautiful, brave, wonderful little girl, and you have a fantastic big sister and a lovely Mummy and Daddy.
Thank you for sharing your story with us—Juliana is an inspiration. Sally Johnston – Yorkshire – 05/14/09 5:08 PM Hi, My name Sally and I have just been watching a documentry about you and your family. I have a daughter named Milly who is 7 yrs old and she thought you were lovely and said she would love to be friends with you.
I hope everything is going well and keep up the good work at school.
God Bless you all
Love sally & Milly xx caitlin – BELFAST UK – 05/14/09 4:51 PM Hi Juliana and family! I am 13 and from Belfast! I watched a documentary on telly last night and it has touched me. You are such a brave girl Juliana! I hope all goes well in the future! xx Caitlin David and Denise – York, UK – 05/14/09 2:52 PM What can we possibly say that everybody below hasn't already said. You are a wonderful family with two lovely girls who are both an inspiration to us all.
Having four daughters of our own, one the same age as Juliana, the documentary last night tugged on every heart string . She is a very brave little girl who thankfully is surounded by so much love, particularly from her big sister ,who is equally brave and clearly protective of her little sister.
Love to you all xxx Gavin Cotton – UK – 05/14/09 2:34 PM You are all truely amazing and very special people, I just can't find the words..... Richard Cox – Bridlington, U.K. – 05/14/09 2:07 PM Hi there! Like many others I saw the programme on Juliana last night here in the UK. I just had to comment on an extraordinary little girl. Juliana is truly awe inspiring and an inspiration, as parents you must be very proud, of both your girls.
I suffer from a minor facial deformity caused by cancer and radiotherapy when I was six, but Juliana made me feel very humble, and ashamed for the times I've felt sorry for myself. It's a cliche, but very important to remember beauty really is only skin deep. And it's impossible not to see Juliana's beauty radiating, touching everyone she encounters—myself and many, many others included, though we are far away.
I am happy to join your website and hope to follow Juliana's and the family's progress.
Love to you all
Richard Helen – UK – 05/14/09 1:47 PM Hi Juliana and family!
Warmest wishes from across the pond. Here in the UK we saw the second documentary last evening and I just wanted to send my fondest wishes to Juliana and her loving family.
It was a wonderful documentary and I was blown away by Juliana, who is such a gorgeous, spirited and warm little girl despite such adversity. It really was a very humbling experience to watch and the Wetmores are an on-going inspiration to each and every one of us. We could all become better people if we took a little of your courage, bravery and positivity with us.
I'll be sure to keep up with her progress and wishing you all the very best for the future. What a wonderful family and a thoroughly beautiful little girl. Juliana your little giggle is just wonderful to hear!
xxxx Paul Baucutt – UK – 05/14/09 1:29 PM Just caught the show in the UK.
What a fantastically brave girl Juliana is with a fantastic loving family. Mandee – Florida Keys, USA – 05/14/09 10:44 AM Hi y'all I am very impressed with how active Juliana is. She is growing up fast, I read that her surgeries are doing well and its nice to hear. Your a beautiful girl despite your differences. Keep your head up kiddo. I admire anyone with any type of disability and maybe one day after I have children of my own hope to adopt a child with special needs. Hope you have a good day/night and I'll come back some other time and leave a message. SMILE! :-) Jacqui Sanders-Jones – Slough, United Kingdom – 05/14/09 8:50 AM Hi Juliana.
I saw your programme on TV here in the UK and we are so proud of you.
My daughter is called Cerys, she is 10 and she has Treacher Collins Syndrome too. She thinks she is the only one in the country who has it because we never see any one else with TCS.
It is brilliant that wonderful you and your fantastic family can help make people more aware about children that are created much more specially than others; children like you and my daughter.
Good luck with everything you want to achieve and remember that your good friends and loving family are the only people that you need to spend time worrying about.
With many kind regards and love,
Jacqui & Cerys Sanders-Jones in
England. lee-ann macmillan – scotland – 05/14/09 7:49 AM hey guys, just thought i'd drop a line to say hi, so hi !! last night was a good night for me as i watched the programme about juliana, i found it superb, and would like to say how much of a special and very very clever little girl she is, also how lucky she is to have such a great mum and dad and also a fantastic big sister.........
take care
leeann xoxo Laura Brown – Vilseck, Germany – 05/14/09 7:24 AM Hello Wetmores!
I'm an American like you but I currently live in Europe, as you can see by all the new entries a program about you aired on a British channel last night. I have two children, and although our lives are worlds apart they share something with your children which is sometimes we have to wait for Daddy to come home too. Juliana's story moved me so deeply. I related mostly as a mother, just seeing all this beautiful little person has gone through. I feel so blessed by my children and by knowing that God has sent Juliana to such a wonderful family that loves her so much. I was very impressed by your oldest daughter as well and how mature and caring she is. Your story made an impression on me that I will never forget. God bless you all. tracey – England – 05/14/09 7:20 AM Until yesterday I had never heard of the remarkable, spirited and courageous little girl that is Juliana. I was moved by not only Juliana herself and her infectious giggles, determination and bravery in facing so many operations but also that of your whole family, especially when Thom was posted overseas that the whole family sat together and did the kids homework with Thom helping via internet links—some other families can learn a lot from you all. I am glad that today i know of Juliana and i wish your entire family all the best in your future.
with kindess & admiration to you all.
Tracey x Stacey James – Nottingham,UK – 05/14/09 5:39 AM Dear Wetmore family,
My name is Stacey and my partner is Lee.We watched your updated documentary last night and were amazed at how well you are all doing.And how brave you are,Julianna! Well done for being so good for the doctors.
We are expecting our 2nd baby boy in september and like you, our son has been diagnosed with a cleft lip and palate at his 22weeks scan last week.We have been advised to have an amnio test as our little boy also has a bubble on his brain,which may indicate a problem with chromosone 18,which is linked to Edward syndrom,Downs Syndrome and Treacher Collins Syndrome.
I am waiting until I am 34 weeks before having this test as I dont want to risk anything else going wrong.Lee and I love our new baby boy,which we have decided to call Simon,regardless of what happens next.
Watching your documentaries and reading your information and posts on your website has been inspirational to us.And if you dont mind,we'd like to lean a little bit on your bravery and strength to help us get through the next few months.
All our love,
Stacey and Lee James. carly wilkes – Derbyshire- UK – 05/14/09 3:30 AM Me and my Fiance watched the programme of your beautiful little girl, it really moved us to see how much pain and suffering she most go through but she still is bubbly and lovely 5 year old girl. Our thoughts are with you xxx Anthony Akalon – Liverpool, UK. – 05/13/09 8:41 PM Hello Princess, my little nephew and I have just finished watching a programme about you, and I felt compelled to write to you, to remind you (as if you needed reminding) that you are a real life angel, and an inspiration to all you have shared your story with. You're in our thoughts Princess, as well as our hearts. God Bless. Esther Pepper – England – 05/13/09 6:13 PM Dear Juliana
It's me, from England, thinking of you. Email me if you like.
love from Esther
epepper@btinternet.com Malcolm Dyer – Plymouth, Devon, England. – 05/13/09 6:08 PM This evening my wife and I watched a T/V programme of your lovely little girl's trials. It was very heart moving and we marvelled at how amazing she approached all that painful surgery.
The other thing was how wonderful your schools are at conditioning the children to accept Juliana with so much love... We both cried... I do hope that the future will prove even better for her and her surgery treatments paul fairhall – Scotland, – 05/13/09 5:17 PM Tami, Tom, Kendra, Juliana,
I just sat watching your story on tv here in the uk. What an inspirational family ! Tami and Tom you have every right to be proud of both your daughters !
Juliana, its great that you shared your story with other people—just reading some of the guest book you can see that there are people who share some of your problems and just seeing your story makes them realise that beautiful people always shine through. Be good to your mom and daddy and your sister because they are very special people too just as you are.
Paul.
Paul Field – Newcastle upon Tyne UK – 05/13/09 5:08 PM You are an amazing child. You are a real diamond. Your strength and courage astound me. You and your family are in my prayers. I will be following your progress with keen interest. God bless you all. You show the world what true family spirit and love is. Words really don't describe my admiration for you all. Jo de Villiers – Essex, UK – 05/13/09 4:55 PM Hi Juliana and family, I have seen two programmes on the TV now about you—and i wanted to take the time to say what an inspiration you all are to people in far away places. Your story has touched me so very much—i think you are the bravest, and one of the smartest little girls i have ever seen! I too have a daughter, Isabel, about your age, she is 6 years old and it would have been lovely if you could have been friends. God bless you all, with love Jo x Katrina McLerie – Culloden, Scotland, Great Britain – 05/13/09 4:35 PM Hi there
I hope that you are all well.
I would just like to let you know that you are all an inspiration. I have followed Juliana's progress through different television programmes and am totally amazed by the strength, determination and sense of humour shown by Juliana.
May god bless you now and in the future.

I live in France (Nantes, near the sea) and I'm 27. Me and my boyfriend Christophe wish to have a baby soon. We have a lovable cat, named Lumo.
I hope you will understand me because my english is not so good !
I discovered your story on You Tube and for me it was a very strong moment. Many people in my family are suffering from rare diseases (for example my daddy has a Wegener) and I can understand how difficult it is to go to hospital for important surgeries and things like that.
I can tell you one thing : you are a wonderful little girl, and I hope you will have all the happiness you deserve. Since now I will read all the news sent by your mum and your nurse.
Lot of kisses to all the family and be strong ! Your new friend Magali. elisabeth – 05/11/09 4:56 AM Hey Juliana and family,

I pray for you and your family! With lots of love from Hungary xxx Anikó:) Frank Rabinovitch – Orange CA – 05/06/09 12:26 AM Dear Thom and Tammi
I have been praying off and on for your sweet little daughter since I read an article about her in November 2004. But today is the first time I have read any updates, so what has been a life-full of challenges and blessings for you has passed in a blur for me—almost 5 years' worth.
I am full of praise to God that Juliana is doing so well, and we will continue to pray that the Lord will sustain and bless your family—including your new little one.
Juliana is a dear child and I am thankful to Jesus for her.
God bless you,
Frank Vicki Fitzpatrick – Orange, CA – 05/04/09 10:32 PM Hi Juliana, Kendra, Mom and Dad,
How's everybody doing these days? Summer is just around the corner and I'll bet you all are getting excited about that. School is fun but not having to go everyday is fun also. Are you making any special plans for the summer? This year is going by so quickly, isn't it? And everyday that goes by, you two beautiful little girls get prettier and prettier and smarter and smarter! You are so blessed to have each other, and hopefully soon, you'll have another beautiful sister. Well, I just wanted to say hello and see how you all are doing. I think about you so much and I love, love, love you all. And I thank Almighty God that you and I are on this planet at the same time and that you unselfishly share your lives with all of us. Thank you. Until next time.......
I love you!

your freaky godmother—Yvette Lisa Cartelli – Brooklyn, NY – 05/01/09 7:50 PM Hi Juliana.
I wrote you a note in the guest book last week and realized that I said I have been watching your story for a couple of weeks when I meant to say a couple of years!! I didn't know about this website until recently and I have been checking here everyday since my first note to see for new pictures and to read everyone's kind words and well wishes. I, like all those people who write to you, have a special place in my heart for you. Your story has touched me so much and at first I was very heartbroken but when I see that you are a happy, healthy child, I know that you will be ok. You have a wonderful family who loves you very much and a very caring big sister. Hi Kendra!! And from what I have seen on TV, wonderful doctors. I can't wait to read a new update from your mother on how you are doing.
You are in my thoughts and prayers!!
Thom, just wanted to say, thank you for your sacrifices you have made for this country. I greatly admire you and all who serve in the armed forces! Stay safe.
God Bless you Tami, Thom, Kendra and Nurse Jeanne.

Jessica – Florida – 05/01/09 5:00 PM Hello Miss Juliana!
My name is Jessica. I saw your pretty little face on TV the other night. Once I heard about your story, my heart was broken and I felt so sad, but then I saw how bright, smart, and very brave you are! I'm not even that brave! I know sometimes things may seem sad, yucky, or scary, sweetheart, but everything will be okay and just ask your Guardian Angel to hold you tight! You are always in my prayers, sweetie! You've got tons of people that love you and care about you! Juliana, you are my hero!
Miss Kendra,
You are such a kind and caring big sister! You are such a sweetheart! I know that sometimes things can get difficult for you, too, honey; seeing your little sister sick can be hard at times, but she will be okay. You, like Juliana, are also very brave! Keep up the great work, Kendra!
God Bless,
Jessica Kathy Hall – Minooka, IL – 05/01/09 12:21 PM Hi, Sweet Pea! Oh, gosh, how I've missed "talking" to you! I think of you every single day, and catch up on how you and Keni and Mommy and Daddy are doing from Gramma Colleen, but it's about time I stop in and say "hello", isn't it? :) Everybody is doing good...even little Melly is going to "school" now and she's only 3!...she goes to speech therapy twice a week and her teacher signs, too! Thanks to your sweet mommy, Melly's mommy learned how to sign a long time ago (to help Lauren!). Who knew it would come in so handy!!! God really does work in mysterious and wonderful ways, Ana! Well, keep "keepin' on", Sweet Pea, and tell everybody, "hi", including Nurse Jeanne, and give them all big hugs from all of us in Illinois! We love you,, Sweetie!

Your struggle has really touched me and I'm writing today to give you assurance that the gift of your life and presence is especially wonderful.
People all over the world are watching the youtube.com videos and learning about the condition you have and how you're doing just fine with it.
What makes you different and noticeable in other people's eyes is how you touch our hearts.
Happy late birthday, little girl, I plan to check in on you from time to time to share in your inspiring story, and share it with others.
To your Parents: bravo for being just as normal and great american family as this little gal deserves, and to your sister, you're quite terrific too! Continue to be a proud big sister and friend. Your job is important here, too! Auree Gay-Strickland – Florida – 04/30/09 1:47 PM I was just checking in to see how the adoption process is going. What blessed little angels to have a mommy like you.

I THANK YOU FOR TELLING HER STORY AND APPRECIATE YOU FOR IT. SHE WILL FOREVER BE IN MY PRAYERS..... Kim – Fall River, MA – 04/29/09 10:47 AM Hi Juliana, Just checking in to see how my little friend is doing. I check at least once a week anticipating a new posting by mom or nurse jeanne. I've been reading the guest book too, and see a lot of advise on what to do when people make fun of you. I have something to add to all that. I was picked on really bad when I was in middle and high school. There were a few groups of girls that were just plain nasty to me, making fun of my appearance, following me around and taunting me. I hid in the bathrooms quite often hiding my tears. All this happened to me and I'm physically "normal". So just remember that kids pick on everyone, don't feel singled out because you look different. Keep your head high and ignore them. I'm now 32 years old, and most of the girls who picked on me are not living the best lives. I'm happily married and don't think twice about the bullying.
You are a beautiful girl, and you will have plenty of friends that will see that and help you get through the tough times with the people who just don't understand.
Stay strong baby!
Kim Julianna – Colorado springs – 04/28/09 11:44 PM Hi Juliana,
I'm Julianna,im from colorado an i heard about your story an it touched me. I thought it was amazing that your name is so close to mine. If people ever try to put you down just tell them there just jealous because there not you. You,Juliana, are unique in your own way an i want you to imbrass the beautiful young lady that you are. An never let anyone put you down. Your a strong beautiful girl who knows how to handle herself. Take care an if u ever need anything im here for you. Much love Julianna Erin Pallares – Dallas Texas – 04/28/09 9:19 PM Hello Julianna!
You are an inspiration to me! My husband flies P-3's in the Navy too and I remember seeing you in Jacksonville when we were stationed at VP-30. He has to go on another deployment soon, so I have to be strong like you were when your daddy was gone for 6 months!! I have been following your progress and have been watching your shows on the Discovery channel and I am so glad you are sharing your story because you have so many positive things to share with people around the world! I'm glad I found this website and look forward to all your updates!
Love,
The Pallares Family Lisa Cartelli – Brooklyn, NY – 04/28/09 9:19 PM To Juliana and family,
I have seen your story the first time it aired a few weeks ago and recently saw the update. I first want to tell you Juliana, that you are a beautiful angel with a wonderful spirit and so bright!! You parents are amazing and have tremendous strength and courage. I know it must be very difficult for them each time you have a surgery and for you as well. I am a mom too and I can feel for them. I wanted to write to you to let you know that since seeing your story you have been on my mind and in my heart. I hope that God continues to grant you the courage and blessings he has given you as you continue on your journey. I want to continue to hear about your progress. You are a special little girl, please don't forget that and you have many people who feel for you as I do. I have read their comments on this website and others. I hope that whether you chose to go for more surgeries or not, you are happy in your life.
God bless you and your family!! amanda nunez – Poughkeepsie, NY – 04/28/09 8:49 PM I am a 20 year old student in college. I was recently watching the discovery channel and saw your story. I was moved beyond words and I am amazed at how far she has come. She is an inspiration to many, including myself. You are beautiful.
"What makes you different, makes you beautiful. What's there inside you shines through."
Truly,
Amanda
JESSICA RABASSA – MIDDLETOWN, CT – 04/28/09 8:30 PM My heart goes out to this wonderful little angel and her family. I wish I can help out in anyway. I wish I were a wealthy person, where I would donate money, no questions asked. With todays advanced medical technology, this little angel will be just fine. We'll see her at her prom looking as beautiful as ever, and the entire family will be thanking God and the doctors for everything. There's always a reason for everything that happens in life. Take care, and God Bless you!!! Stephanie – Miami – 04/28/09 6:31 PM Hey Juliana and Family
WoW, I would have never came upon this website if it was not for a post in a blog that i read about you. After reading your stories and everything, we have a lot of thiings in common. First off, I was born with only one eye. Can you guess who is my surgeon... YES the wonderful Dr. Anthony Wolfe. He is AMAZING. I have been with him for 15 years and still counting. I have done 30+ operations (since i was maybe three months old).My last surgery was about 2 1/or a 2 years ago. I have cut back surgeries for a while now. I want to finish off my college education and then maybe go in for my last surgery to get rid of some of the scars that i have left from my arm and my face. My dad always told me that there are people out there that look a lot worse than me and suffer a lot more than i do. That is the way i based my life on when im being teased and stuff. Yes, kids still look at me wierd and call me names, but guess what, i always ignore because i know that i will never see them again. So yess, Dr wolfe is a great man, he will leave you with a face so beautiful that when you look at yourself for years to come, you will notice a big change in your overall apearance and you will thank him and GOD one day that you will live your life with a good sense of self esteem and morale.
If you want to know more about me or you want to see before and after pictures dont hesitate to ask me at my email Sara – lancaster pa – 04/28/09 5:42 PM I'm Sara's mother. She would like to write Juliana a letter. On her profile it gives a birth date of 1963. This is done for safety's sake , her age is 7 years old.
Hi Juliana, I wish I could meet you in person you are a very brave little girl I think you are a nice girl. I hope you are happy every day of your life .
love Sara Nicole Ressler – Bismarck, ND – 04/28/09 5:27 PM I saw the Program about Juliana for the first time when she was 2 or 3 and this past Sunday, April 26 I saw the one where she is Five.
Five already!
It is amazing to see the progress she is making!
Just wanted to tell you, you are doing a wonderful job with her!
Remember to count your blessings, with her you have a lot of them!
Give my love to Kendra also, she is an amazing big sister!
I enjoy seeing her grow up!
Keep up the great work!
Jose Contreras – Valdosta, Ga – 04/28/09 2:57 PM Hi Juliana. My name is Jose Contreras, I saw a show on the Discovery Chanel about two nights ago and I must admit that you are one brave little girl :D
Your parents and little sister do a great job with you!
I stopped by here because you have changed me in a way, when I saw your program for some reason tears started to come out of my eyes, I dont know why, I was very sadden I suppose but you are making me see the world like I havent before. I dont know what I would do if I was in YOUR situation, I really dont or if one of my future kids had this, what really impressed me was your attitude and your intelligence :)
Your story made me realize how dumb and foolish I have been towards my little sister and brother. She is 5 and he is 11 and I dont recall ever playing with them until yesterday, its all because of you :D
You have tough me to love my family like I really should.
Dont listen to the people who might make fun of you because of your situation, I have tasted that before maybe not at your level. (I had very bad teeth throughout middle and high school) But I know how some people are, ignore them and pray that one day they might change their ways towards the LORD :)
You are one beautiful angel of God. He loves you and me very much, only he knows why he does things sometimes we cant understand.
I hope you are happy and loved everywhere you go....
~Jose Contreras Carlos Iansen – Lyndhurst, NJ – 04/28/09 10:16 AM I'm not so good with words or showing any emotions, I'm far from being known as a good guy when most people i know think I'm a nobody. I am a retired gangmember who have never cared about anything or anyone including myself, at times i wish i just never woke up. I saw Juliana with my wife the other night and she has made a huge impact in my life, a grown man cried..I have a huge not caring attitude that has stoped me from moving foward into now, Juliana's is my turn around in life..I cry as i try to describe what i feeling inside of me, my heart has been touched Juliana is my god !!! Juliana's family makes me want to hug my mom, dad and tell them i love them, you guys made me take a second look at myself and i finally woke from this shadow i been hiding under..I thank you guys for having the strenth to show the world what love really stands for...L.O.V.E wow thats a strong word i never understood and now i do. i promisse i will change my ways for you Juliana no more mister bad guy... Dad Mr Wetmore i have to admit you are my hero i never had a hero and you stand for everything that hero should be...now i would like to say a little prayer....
May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, superficial relationships, so that you will live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression and exploitation of people so that you will work for justice, equality and peace.
May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation and war, so that you will reach out your hand to comfort them and change their pain into joy.
And may God bless you with the foolishness to think that you can make a difference in the world, so that you will do the things which others tell you cannot be done.
Your new friend Carlos Iansen Annette Feliciano – Queens, NY – 04/28/09 1:19 AM Hi Nonali-Nonala! (yup,that's your nickname). Yesterday I saw the second documentary, and I confess, I was saddened. It was a difficult test. But as I look at your pictures now, I can see you've come such a long way. I rejoice for you sweetheart! I rejoice for those special gifts God has given you, both in the natural and in the supernatural. Say hi to all, ok? Hugs and Kisses!, from your friend forever, annette Leo – NJ – 04/28/09 12:24 AM Hi Juliana and family,
I gotta tell ya, i have never been so choked up before in my entire life. I can't get you all out of my mind. I can't even begin to imagine the pain Juliana endures each and every time. She is so strong. I just wish there is something I can do to take the pain away. I keep wanting to see that Juliana is ok. I have twin daughters of my own and recently found a small cyst on her chest. My wife and I decided not to go thru with the removal and just to monitor the size because we cannot put our 2yr old thru it.. I cant even be in the same room as the doctor when they give my daughters shots. I dont know how you do it, but Im so happy to see a happy child in there.
There is something so dear and special about Juliana that I cannot get her out our our minds. We will continue to pray for you Juliana and your mom and pop to always contine to have the strenght to carry on.
I wish Juliana and family all the best.
Please continue to keep us all updated on Juliana's progress. We love you Juliana Wetmore.
Madison, Penelope, Suzi and Me Veronica – Whittier, CA – 04/27/09 11:36 PM I recently saw the documentary about Juliana. I am a school psychologist that resides in California. I work with children that have a wide range of disabilities. Your family has touched my heart in a way that I cannot even explain. I often complain about minor things in my life but watching all the difficult surgeries that Juliana has had to go through makes me feel ashamed. As I began to watch the episode I was intrigued to find out more but I soon began to cry, and cried for the most part of the documentary. Throughout my day at work today I would often think about Juliana and her family and would begin to tear up. I was not crying because I felt sorry for your family but because you all have this strength and courage that keeps you going. You are truly an inspirational family. I hope that you continue to work with Juliana at home and advocate for her. Juliana is a beautiful child! I wish you the best with future surgeries and will continue to keep you in my prayers. Thank you for sharing your story with all of us! Sury Alvarado – Miami, Fl – 04/27/09 11:11 PM I just want to say that I saw the show last night and I admire Juliana I think you guys are so blessed and she is a wonderful girl. I hope that she has the strength and courage to keep on with everything that is coming to her, I know is not easy but she's strong. I will pray for her and well I work at Miami Children's Hospital, I have never seen her and I hope I get to see her some day and meet her because she is wonderful so I would love to meet her. Wish you guys the best, I hope I see you soon! Laurie Becker – Wisconsin – 04/27/09 9:44 PM Dear Wetmore Family,
I just watched your newest show this morning. I am so amazed by your faith and resilience. Juliana is such a wonderful little girl. My heart aches for each new surgery she goes through. She is already beautiful as are the rest of you. Adrienne – Los Angeles, CA – 04/27/09 7:30 PM Juliana:
I saw your program last night. I will pray for you to have the strength (both physically and mentally) to overcome the challenges you face. Vanessa Harris – Chatsworth, CA – 04/27/09 6:28 PM I saw the program about Juliana and I think she is such a blessing. You and your husband have done a great job with her and so have the other kids. Juliana is a sweet, beautiful little girl. She has a big heart to share with the world and I pray that she is continually blessed in every way and the rest of you as well. May God bless you all always. Vanessa Mercado – Sanger, CA – 04/27/09 4:53 PM Hi Juliana,
I saw your story last night and I was so amazed on how beautiful your spirit is. My children watched also who are 11 and 9. They had a lot of questions and they too saw what I saw, a beautiful little girl loving life. You inspire me and my family to live life to the fullest. Your parents and big sister are wonderful people and may God bless your family always. You are in our thoughts Juliana. Love the Mercados Virginia Norton – Chicago, IL – 04/27/09 4:17 PM Last night (4/26) I saw the documentary about Juliana. I was doing okay until about half way through the program, and then I began to see how difficult those surgeries have been for Juliana and I have not been able to stop the tears every time of think of her. Its hard to express what I'm feeling because there are so many emotions. The joyful spirit of Juliana and the devotion of all those involved in caring for her from her precious mother and steadfast father, her supportive sister, to her night nurse, to her doctors, it is really something to behold. It's so easy to complain about minor inconveniences, but the grace and courage in difficult circumstances this family demonstrates puts me to shame. In spite of the obstacles, you have all managed to be your best. I will pray that you have the strength you need every day to carry on, because not only are you sustaining your family, but you are actually lifting up the rest of us by your example. Thank you for being willing to share your life with us so that we can learn from you! Dy Parnel – Washington – 04/27/09 11:20 AM I saw your story last night and I think that you are all incredible people. I will keep you and Juliana, as well as her sister, in my prayers and thoughts. Your daughters are truly blessed to have parents like you and you are truly blessed to have daughters like them. Milton West – Haughton LA. – 04/27/09 3:57 AM To a truly Blessed family , to be graced with the miracle of God's gift of life , "Little Juliana" . I'm sending you some inspirational reading . I know that you will be astounded with this book as much as I see in your family . It is a book worth reading over and over again . The title of the book is called "The Shack" by Wm. Paul Young . You can Google the title for a link . May I leave you with this quote by Charlie Russel .... " you have to have a basic understanding to know
where you cannot go. This is the edge. You cannot step over this edge. The edge was a way back there
behind me somewhere, I thought. But I've been going ahead and finding, no, the edge is a way out here somewhere… So I'm exploring out there in the unknown"
I'm bookmarking your site for future visits. Respectfully Submitted
Milton West Andrés – Costa Rica – 04/27/09 3:51 AM Juliana I think we're a very beautiful when I saw your story I cried and smile, but not unlike the cry of joy that you are a very happy girl and you have a good future for the people love and that is important so is the family the family is unconditional love I'm from Costa Rica (Central America) I write songs and I sing a song that one day I would sing or at least give me a simple song that I wrote all my love for you. Juliana big kiss and Lord our God

Give you a big kiss chocolate from Costa Rica my land.
your #1 fan Andrés Salas. Erica – San Antonio, Tx – 04/27/09 2:33 AM Words cannot explain the beauty, hope and Love in your family. Sometimes things dont always turn out how we expect, but God truly has an angel watching over you'll. Tami, your a beautiful strong loving mother, and I admire your will to take care of your family with such grace. I hope I can be a wonderful mother to my children as you are to yours. You have two beautiful little girls with much creativity and passion. I wish you'll the best, with all the future surgeries and struggles that are too come. Good luck to kendra, your husband and the strong fighting intelligent daughter Juliana that you'll have raised. My heart and blessings go out to your family!
Happy early Mothers Day!
Erica Monique :) Heather – Pittsburgh – 04/27/09 2:27 AM I wanted to write to you tonight mother to mother, Navy wife to Navy wife, and as a mom who has a child that as I put it has bumps to jump in life. I seen your family's story on t.v. tonight and felt compelled to write and say you are not alone. It is difficult enough to be a Navy wife with children but to add a child with special needs it truely takes a strong person. My youngest daugher has Mozaic Turner Syndrome and although she seems to be ok thus far we still have hurdles to face. As much as I wanted to tell you that you are not alone it is also nice to know that myself. So I thank you and your family for bringing your daughters condition to the public.. I will keep you in my prays. Stay strong and know that even of you weren't intending to you gave someone else strength.. Jeff – Nevada – 04/27/09 2:26 AM Hello Julianna.. My wife and I saw the discovery channel episode as well. You sure do sound smart! The sign language is impressive. We taught our two little girls just a couple things when they were about 1 so they could communicate what they want with us.. Anyways.. Your family is in our prayers Juliana! Your dad is an awesome guy defending our country and your mom is a fantastic mother.You are so loved. By your family, by us, and by God.. Bless you guys.. Keep being beautiful! :) kaitlin – Texas – 04/27/09 2:09 AM Hi there~
I have been following Juliana and have to say I am so moved! What a loving and sweet family you have! I have an online hair bow business and really wanted to send Juliana some hair clips. I have a 4 yr old and know all girls need some girly, flowery hair clips! I watched the first TLC special and really wanted to send some then but couldn't find an address. Now I found you guys online and would LOVE to make some girly stuff for Juliana. So, please go to my site and pick out some things-www.ellasbowtique.com. I have tons more stuff not listed yet so if it is easier to tell me what colors Juliana wears I can make things to match. Also, I don't have them listed right now but I do much bigger bows than shown. You can email me via the site or ellasbowtique@yahoo.com. I think you'll need a hair bow holder too so let me know which one you like. I am a military wife (we're in the Army and stationed at Fort Hood) and can appreciate the challenges you guys face on that front! God bless and keep up the good fight! I will keep you all in my prayers! Kaitlin Carpenter Liliana Huerta – Chicago – 04/26/09 11:56 PM I just saw the update on the Discovery Channel and I was so happy to see that Juliana is in school and learning and interacting with other children and that she's made friends.
She is such a brave little girl and I hope she continues to be just as brave in the future.
Good luck to the whole family and what a great big sister she has! Maureen kraus – wilkes barre Pennsylvania – 04/26/09 10:54 PM Oh my goodness I can't belive how big you got. The last Time I saw you on TV you were on a little rocking horse looking all happy. Wow time flyes. I hope school is going good for you 1rst grade is a lot different then kindergarten I bet. My little girl linnae is 5 months younger then you and she is in kindergarten. She had an operation in June 07 to remove a large strawberry birthmark from her shoulder she was real scared just like you. Your a brave girl so keep up the good work and don't let anything stop you from being the best at anything you try. Linnae wants to be a Dr when she grows up. Daryl LaRocque – English Speaking Island- Dominica – 04/26/09 10:46 PM I do hope that she does really BIG things in her future, and continues to live a happy life filled with love. There is just something so cute about Juliana that is beyond her natural exterior.. She looks so happy in her pictures with the family Charlotte Grady – Milford, Texas – 04/26/09 10:37 PM Juliana,
You are such a brave little girl and such an inspiration!
The world is a wonderful place. Keep learning as much as you can about everything.
Charlotte "Galloping Grannie" Grady Susan Cotter – Oldtown, Idaho – 04/26/09 10:28 PM Juliana:
I just wanted to tell you what a brave young lady you are! I was a law enforcement officer for many years and never have I had to be as brave as you and your family are right now. My husband and I were also in the Navy and know how difficult things can be when someone is deployed. I am very proud of you all!! I will pray for continued strength through the difficult times and may the love you all have for one another continue to grow stronger with each passing day. You are a beautiful family inside and out!!! Kimberly Giambrone – Gainesville, FL – 04/26/09 10:01 PM Hello,
I'm watching the update right now and it's so good to see Juliana! She's made such progress. Keep your faith strong.

I am 21 years old and whenever i have a bad day, I think of you and know that if you can go through so many surguries and you are only 6 years old, then i can make it through my day. I would love to meet you in person because you are such an amazing little girl. Cant wait to recieve more updates on your progress. God bless you and your family.

Cyndy Cook, Akron, Ohio! – Akron, Ohio – 04/25/09 3:56 AM I first saw Juliana's story several years ago on TLC and I have often wondered how she was doing, so I was very pleased to find your website! I am so happy that she has made such amazing improvements and continued to grow and thrive. My husband and I have 4 children of our own and I can only imagine what it is like for Mom and Dad to have to muster the strength to push on day after day. If this had to be, thank God, little Juliana has parents (and a sister) like you. With such excellent doctors and surgeons, it will be exciting to see what the years to come will bring for Juliana. stacie nichols – Evansville, Indiana – 04/22/09 8:53 PM Juliana,
You are so beautiful. I read your story and I am amazed by you. Your spirit really has enlightened me & you are truly an inspiration.
With Love,

Sincerely-
Kristi Mandi – Montana – 04/21/09 1:53 PM I first heard about your story a few years ago when I tuned in to TLC. I was touched then and I continue to be touched an amazed now. Juliana, you are beautiful, inside and out. You have a light that has reached the hearts of so many people. The love, faith and support your family has shown has inspired me to let people know how important they are to me. From the bottom of my heart, bless and thank you!! Alan Darbe – Michigan – 04/21/09 1:48 PM It has been a while since I checked up on you. As you know, time can slip away so fast. I am amazed that you are learning piano! That is absolutely wonderful. I have tried lessons but I am tone deaf. I love music, but can't tell one note from another.
I was surprised to learn you just had your fifth birthday. My grandaughter did as well (March 12).
It would be great if there were ever an opportunity for the two of you together.
Lots of Love
Alan

Cindy Tereza Cerqueira – Ottawa, Ontario – 04/17/09 1:12 PM I'm happy to hear that Julianna's surgery went well and I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures. I look forward to journal updates every month. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. All the best for Julianna and family.
Take care,
Tereza Kristy Smith – Rockford Il. – 04/17/09 12:03 AM Hey Juliana,
Carl and I are so happy to hear you came through yet another surgery with no trouble. You are such a trooper. Our daughter Kylee is recovering from a major surgery she had done on her hips and pelvic bone. She is 5 years old and was very scared about it at first, but when we told her about you and all of your surgeries she knew everything would be ok. She has been a trooper just like you. She has to learn to walk all over again and is in that proccess now. You have been an inspiration to her. God can do great things so that being said our family will continue to keep you and your family in our prayers! You are a beautiful young lady and god bless you. Vicki Fitzpatrick – Orange, California – 04/16/09 12:15 PM Hello Juliana!
So you got to go to an amusement park! Wow, I love all the fun you can have at an amusement park. And before long you'll be tall enough to ride ALL of the rides in any park, just like big sister Kendra. I hope you're feeling better now that you've had a few days to get rested after your surgery. Boy oh boy! You're already pretty and you're just getting prettier and prettier every day! You and Kendra are such great sisters. I wish I had a sister like Kendra! I don't have any sisters—just a brother. Wouldn't it be fun to do the things that Mary Poppins does? Mary Poppins is pretty neat and fun to watch. Well, you take care little angel. I love you!

Karen Victoria Damien – Paris France – 04/10/09 6:40 PM Hello Hello Juliana,
I'm in late for your birthday !! One month !! OOHHHHHH... So i wish you a lot of good things each day. Because each other day is a Non-Birthday day. It's very important, like your birthday. Make party, make projects, because Non-Birthday day it's like your birthday. Enjoy all.

Actualy I'm kind of jealous that you are so happy that's way because somethimes I'm not happy when I look in the mirror. SO I decide to thinking of you because you are my hero! <3
I'm only sixteen years old! I hope that you and your family are happy!
See you! mariel zakrajsek – Glendale, California – 04/07/09 6:39 PM Hi Baby Girl,
Last night I offered a very special prayers for your upcoming surgery. If I'm not mistaken you are scheduled to have another surgery tomorrow, right? Well.... I have a little poem for you to take with you.......
"May You Always Have an Angel by Your Side"
May you always have an angel by your side. Watching out for you in all the things you do. Reminding you to keep believing in brighter days. Finding ways for your wishes and dreams to come true. Giving you hope that is as certain as your guide. May you always have love and comfort and courage.
And may you always have an angel by your side. Someone there to catch you if you fall. Encouraging your dreams. Inspiring your happiness. Holding your hand and helping you through it all. In all of our days, our lives are always changing. Tears come along as well smiles. Along the roads you travel, may the miles be a thousand times more lovely than lonely.
May they give you gifts that never, ever end: someone wonderful to love and a dear friend in whom you can confide. May you have rainbows after every storm. May you have hope to keep you warm.
And my you alwyas have an angel by your side......
We love you little darling Juliana and you always be in my prayers. Just close your eyes if feel any pains and God will take those pains away from you. God loves you and you are sooo very special girl. Remember that we are all here for you to share you pains and hapiness. Hang in there sweety, a lot of people loves you.

Kathy Hall – Minooka, IL – 04/06/09 12:21 PM Hey, Sweet Pea!
Just want you to know how much we all love you and that we will all be thinking of you and praying for you on Wednesday. But that's then...right now you keep having a great time with Mommy and Daddy and Sissy on your mini-vacation! If I've learned anything from you, it's to enjoy "the moment"...let go of the past and don't worry about the future...God gives us the "right now" and you do that so well. Love you, Sweet Pea...you're always in our hearts...and so are Mommy, Daddy, and Kendra...and Nurse Jeanne, too...big hugs and kisses all around.

I just wanted to say I love you so much and I pray every day that your misery will be as small as possible! I think with age you will find great faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and you will understand it is good you were born and that you are here to serve a very special purpose. Remember as you get older and other children get mean to you that you are special and beautiful! I pray that some day you will be Miss Teen America! I think you will do it! Love, Cathy.

Your story touched my heart.I hope you have a long and very happy life.
You are very beautiful!Good luck to you and your entire family and friends.
Thanks From Austin Colvin NC
Susi – Sweden – 04/02/09 6:23 PM What a lovely website you have here. I learned about Juliana last summer through You Tube, and wanted to read some more about her and about her condition (I'm a nurse, but there is sooooo much I don't know about!). I'm sorry to read she had such a bad birthday, but I hope she enjoyed the later part of it at least.
She seems to be a sweet and fun-loving girl, and it's great to see what a loving and caring family she has.
I'll be back to read your updates. Have a great weekend!
God bless,
Susi
Anne Grimmer – Orlando, FL – 03/31/09 12:57 PM Hi there!
Happy belated birthday! I have been following your story for a few years. I can't believe you are 6 years old already!
God bless you and your family always. :) Vicki Fitzpatrick – Orange, CA – 03/30/09 9:23 PM Happy Day Juliana!
How are you doing this week? Have you memorized Supercalifragilisticexpialido-cious yet? That's a really big word isn't it...and it's even hard to say sometimes. But you and Kendra will get it and I'm sure it's fun trying to say it with each other. You sure do look pretty in your Dainty Flower picture. I especially like that picture of you. You're just growing to be such a big girl. And you are so lucky to have Kendra for a big sister. It will be really nice when your new sister comes to live with you. Then there'll be three of you! Well, I just wanted to say hello. You and Kendra are just the most beautiful girls in the world! I'll write again soon. I love you pretty girl.
Vicki Cestmir – Ostrava, Czech republic, Europe – 03/30/09 12:39 PM Happy birthday, Juliana. Kristi Morris – Abilene, TX – 03/30/09 9:38 AM Hey Wetmores and Nurse Jeanne!!! Just thinking about you guys and wishing you all a wonderful week!! :)
Sending lots of love!
Sincerely-
Kristi Linda Horner – Madeira Beach FL – 03/29/09 11:12 PM Juliana,
Happy belated birthday. I know your birthday was not the best this year as you had some tests scheduled from what your Mom said, but I hope the celebrations after the tests made up for the discomfort during the tests.
I did see on your website that there was going to be an update on The Discovery health Channel on your progress after 5 years. I missed it and I hope it is repeated.
I have seen from from the programs about you from when you were born and from the photos on your website that Dr. Wolf and his team and God's help has done incredible work on you.
Stay strong and keep the faith. Your strength and determination gives a lot of people encouragement and strength. Mariana – Santos, Brasil – 03/29/09 8:00 AM I was reading in an adoption site and saw "Wetmore" beside a beautiful girl picture. I already knew Juliana's story and this site, and i was always so happy that she is loved this much. And now, you are going adopt another TC girl, and it made me cry until my eyes melted. She needs you as much as you need her. These 3 girls are going to make your life a chaotic mess and destroy your living room, just as it has to be with 3 children :D
Thank you, Wetmore family, for being wonderful people that make this horrible world seem a little bit better. You are little light spots to inspire others.
Wish you all the best and a lot of patience with the adoption papers.

:) thomas carver – Portage, IN – 03/28/09 1:40 PM I just wanted to say how thrilled we all were to see the new show on Juliana. We're so happy that's things have been moving along well for her, and we are amazed by your whole family's strength and love. It is so heartbreaking to see Juliana's fear before surgery, but we know when she gets older she will be thankful for what her parent's forced themselves to do to help her. To Thom, thank you so much for protecting our country, and for your sacrifices being away from your loved ones. We hope you all stay well, and that Juliana continues to be the same wonderful girl we have come to care so much for. Our 6 and 7 year old daughters love to see Juliana's pictures and love her cute outfits. We hope there will be more TV specials and updates here so we can follow Juliana's journey. God bless you all, and take care!
Tom, Deb, Madison & Mackenzie Carver Lawan Jenkins – Bangkok, Thailand – 03/28/09 6:04 AM Hi,
Just watched the cable tv and they presented the story about Juliana. I am touched and admire your family loads as you guys are so strong. Juliana is such a lovely girl and she is very lucky to have such a great family to give her all the best.
Wish Wetmore family all the best and stay healthy. Love from Thailand. xxx
LK Jenkins Kay – New Hampshire – 03/28/09 4:26 AM I just stumbled upon this website today, and I wanted to say that Juliana is a strong, beautiful little girl, and I don't know if I would be as strong were I in her place. I also have a great amount of respect for her family and friends. May you all continue to be strong, and I wish you the best.
Blessed Be,
Kay mariel zakrajsek – Glendale, California – 03/26/09 11:05 AM Hi Baby,

Connie Sheila Mohler – Miami Shores Florida – 03/26/09 9:10 AM Happy belated birthday Juliana
I was out of town and just got back yesterday
I missed the new show on Juliana
So hopefully they will show it again
Sheila :> will sims – georgia – 03/25/09 10:16 PM my little girl was born around the time Juliana was born and I remember her story and seen it on tv 5 years latter. she stole my breath away and I was so happy to see her and how well she is doing. I did a google and found her web page and now I can check on her. I wonder if she has a my space page?
me and my family loves you Juliana! Valerie – Kansas City, MO – 03/25/09 11:28 AM I saw the update show for Juliana on Discovery Health on Monday night. We wish your family the best. Juliana is a doll, and Kendra is a great big sister. We admire your strength as a family, and give thanks to Thom for serving in the military and supporting our country. Your family is great, and I'll pray for Juliana as she continues to go through her surgeries for as little pain as possible and for her to not be so frightened.
Emily Gillis – Boulder, Co – 03/25/09 10:41 AM Hi My name is Emily Gillis, I to was born with a daformaty mine is a club foot. So in away I can symathize with Julianna and all that she has gone through. I spent a good chuck of my childhood and teenage years in the Denver Childern's Hospital. When saw your program and what Julianna was going through I had alot of sympathey for her. Because it reminded me of what I went through. I am now 32 yrs old and I am still having surgeries done on my foot.
Julianna I know whenn you get older there are going to be some kids at school that will be mean and nasty but just keep reminding yourself that you are beautyful and that you are a wonderful person. So don't let anyone tell you can't do something if you put your mind to it you can do what ever you wish for.
Your friend,
Emily Gillis
Boulder, Co. Christina Wolf – Milwaukee Wisconsin – 03/24/09 8:25 PM I saw your story last night and Juliana reminded me of our daughter Emma (5 years old) and her struggles with Pierre Robbin Syndrome. This is when the childs lower jaw is under developed. Emma spent her 1st month of life in the NICU and has had 2 craniofacial surgeries to correct the problem. Emma's condition is not as "severe" (sorry for lack of a better word) as Juliana but it was so inspiring to see her story. I think Juliana is a wonderful and beautiful little girl who has a lot to offer the world. God bless you and your family! Christina Wolf curt webb – Houston Tx – 03/24/09 2:42 PM My fiance and I were watching your special on TV the other night, and I must say we were blown away! What an amazing child you have!! She is such a little sweetheart!! She was so cute with her big sister, and she seems to be such an incredible delight!! Your little princess truly is a blessing from God, and she is beautiful!! All the love in the world here from Houston to you!!
Barbara Kane – Texas – 03/24/09 10:24 AM I saw the first special on tv and was excited to see the the new special. Juliana has been in our thoughts. I was only able to catch a minute of it. I think she looks WONDERFUL!
My son is a one of a kind kid with a problem all to himself and along with it came physical/cognitive challenges. He also was born with craniofacial problems as well. My son Matt came home with a g-tube and trach and we are happy to say most of his surgery is behind is. I know it is a long road, but she is great. I just wanted to let you know how great it was to see how she is doing now. :) Kim – Fall River, MA – 03/24/09 9:30 AM WAY TO GO JULIANA! I was waiting for the new documentary to come out and I finally got to see you in action again. I can't believe how big you are getting!
My heart broke when I heard Juliana cry before surgery. Even the bravest adult would be crying like that if they had to go through 29 surgeries. My heart then melted with joy when I heard Juliana laugh. She is such a spunky silly girl. I hope you are able to get her to the point of eating an breathing normally. I know that Juliana will have enough self confidence to make it through life with her disability. She has the best family behind her. Kendra is amazing too. What a great big sister, watching out for Juliana all the time.
Thank you for sharing Juliana with us. I feel like I know her personally and I care about her like she is part of my own family. I look forward to the updates and stories of what silly things Juliana is doing. Hanna – Sweden – 03/24/09 7:42 AM Hello Juliana!
I'm writing on a project in school about TCS, and would like to have pictures in it. Am I alloud to copy one of the pictures om the website?
hugs, Hanna Christi1979 – Peoria,AZ – 03/23/09 8:35 PM Hi Juliana,
I saw your show on TLC the other night and I just wanted to tell you that you are such an amazing little girl! You're beautiful on the inside & out and you're so smart for your age! Thank you for being an inspiration to us all! God bless you & your family! mariel zakrajsek – Glendale, California – 03/23/09 7:41 PM Juliana, we love you so so much. My 5 years old daughter told me that she wanted to see you and give you a big hug. I think you are so adorable and amazing girl. You are always in my prayers sweetie. Your family are so much blessed of having a child like you.
You're such an angel sent from heaven above to touch everyone's heart. When I saw you crying before your surgery, I can't help it but cry too and just wish that I can hold and hug you and be on your Mommy's side to give her moral support. I'm stunned with your strenght and courageousness. Hang in there little angel and everything is going to be fine....God is always with you. You are one of the luckiest girl... you know why??? because you are so close to God's heart. You afe his SHINING ANGEL! You are so loved by a lot of people. And to your Mommy and Daddy, I admired them for doing a marvelous job! And to Kendra, you are such a wonderful sister to Juliana, very caring and sweet too. Jeanne, bless your heart for taking good care of Juliana! I am so grateful of having a chance to know Juliana. Take care Sweetie! Marc – Philadelphia, PA – 03/23/09 7:15 PM Both my wife and I were introduced to Juliana's story for the first time last night and we were astonished on what a remarkable child you have. I have to apologize for our initial tears of pity, but once we got a brief glimpse of what an unbelievably outgoing and amazing child you have, we knew that you were blessed. Thank you for sharing Juliana's story; our thoughts and prayers will forever be with you and your family. God Bless Amanda Simpson – Statham, Ga – 03/23/09 6:40 PM My name is Amanda and I am 26. I have three beuautiful children. I have one boy and two girls. My son is seven, and my two girls are six and one. My son also has Treacher Collins Syndrome. He is a very bright little boy also and he just loves Juliana so much. He talks about all the time and how pretty she is. We both think she is very beautiful.
With all of our Love,
Amanda, Andrew, Sara, and
Annaliese Yvette Rodriguez – Puddin Land – 03/23/09 12:19 PM Hey you 2 delicious little magpies!!! We all watched you last night and as usual you're all ridiculously amazing. I'm a little miffed by whoever edited the program though, because I remember talking to your mom while on the way to Miami—and she said it WAS NOT that bad!!! They totally used the worst 5 seconds of footage during the storm!!! I guess it makes for more dramatic story telling? As if your life isn't dramatic all by it's own self!?!? Blah, blah, blah! Anyways...you and sissy are more lovable than ever!!
And I wish Elias had that Mama of yours around during homework time—she's the best.
Yvette
(...Taylor LOVES Kendra's haircut) Stella – Toronto, ON – 03/23/09 12:04 PM To the Wetmore family,
I only discovered your website a few weeks ago and been following the updates on Juliana. I believe this is fate that lend me here.
I cry every time I visit this website, 'cause I understand how hard is to see your own child going through so much especially in such a young age (I have 3 young children of my own). But I know all of you are strong and God is with you every step you're taking.
Tammy, you're truly every women's role model and you have given me a lot of inspiration. My heart go to you everyday.
Take care for now & God bless,
Stella Lisa Beck – Seminole, FL – 03/23/09 9:53 AM Yes, I watched "Juliana—5 years later" on TV last night. There was lots of crying, just like there was when I watched Juliana's original story (both tears of happiness and sadness)! How precious Kendra and Juliana are! What an inspiration your whole family is to others. Now that I have found this website, I will be checking updates regularly, and praying for you often. I know that God is using this beautiful little girl's life, and the lives of her family, for His glory. Jo Ann Travis – Dallas, TX – 03/23/09 9:50 AM Dear Tammy, Jeanne, Thom, Kendra and Juliana,
Hi! I watched you story on the Discovery Chanel last night. I was very impressed with your positive outlook, perserverance and fortitude. You have a dedicated medical team. I know you love Dr. Wolfe. He must be an amazing surgeon. I wonder do you know any of your anesthesiologists? Anesthesia is my job. Please remember that we are there to take away pain, not to cause it.
I will be praying for you. At our church we put down the first names of anyone we want to be mentioned/prayed for during Sunday morning Mass. I will put you on our list. I love your web site. I will be following. Best wishes,
Jo Ann Travis. carrie kaplan – new york – 03/23/09 9:42 AM Let me tell you ,she is smart,real smart. I saw the 5 years later on Discovery health last night. I am so happy she ismaking good progress.
I am so hoping that on the next time we see her taht her tube and trach is removed then we can really hear her speak. I felt like crying when i saw her speak,and sign words .
Your great parents.
Your ny friend;
carrie Karen Alford – Warminster, PA – 03/23/09 9:23 AM I saw your family's story for the first time last night and you were the first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning. Juliana and Kendra are both such special little girls and are blessed with wonderful parents. You are all truly an inspiration. I look forward to keeping up with all the progress in your lives! Juliana—try to sick with piano—I quit lessons when I was a liitle girl and twenty years later I still regret it! jeff and pat carter – 03/23/09 4:16 AM hi sweetie. we saw your story on the tv last night(3-22-09) we both cried our eyes out.you are truely one of god's angel's.bless you and your family.may god keep you and your family safe and well.thanks for your dad also for his service to keep us safe.you are the heart of the lion and the comforter of our hearts.

Val Prather-Stricherz – Fort Worth, TX – 03/23/09 3:29 AM Hi, I just watched the documentary of Juliana at age 5. I saw the first documentary last year. You are all so beautiful and loving, and I can't wait to see Juliana transformed into the best version of her precious self. She's so spontaneous, funny, & easy to love...
Seeing and hearing her cry before surgery made ME very upset- I can't imagine how hard it is for mom and dad. I think of your family often and will look forward to updates.
Blessings! Jennifer – Florida – 03/23/09 3:14 AM I hope you guys are enjoying the hot weather. Its probably a little cooler in Jacksonville than it is in Tampa.
I watched the new documentary tonight and I was so touching. Juliana is so gosh darn adorable, it kills me. I've been keeping up with the site since the first documentary aired. You all are such a strong a resilient family. Congratulations on the upcoming addition to the family.
My prayers are with you. Good luck with any upcoming surgeries. I hope the girls are doing great in school! Miss Ericka – 03/22/09 11:56 PM We had so much fun watching everyone on TV tonight!
See you soon!

I have enjoyed watching the progression of your surgeries in your pictures...it's so amazing what can be done these days.

I feel so blessed that our families have become such good friends. I truly can't remember NOT knowing you and that crazy mama of yours and I thank God everyday for having you all in my life. You continue to slay me in all your glorious and NEVER ENDING mischief. Your voice is getting so strong and beautiful and I'm beyond proud of you.

love,
your freaky godmother Yvette valerie vecchione – Springfield, PA – 03/21/09 2:47 PM Happy (Belated) Birthday Juliana!
Also a happy belated St. Patrick's day!
I'm sorry that I have not posted an entry in a while. We're in the middle of our PSSAs. (Pennsylvania System of Schools Assesment) on top of our regular schoolwork, and things have been busy for me! Okay, I know I've said this a lot, but the money IS coming. We have been busy with lots of other things and that is one of the many items on our "To Do" list. But, rest assured, it is coming.
Once again, happy birthday!
~Val~ Karen Lochte – Alta Loma, CA – 03/21/09 1:03 PM Hi, Wetmore Family~
I'm so eager for updates on you folks that I check the website 'most every day. I love hearing about the "normalcy" that goes on, such as tantrums and fear of ducks, as well as the surgeries and procedures. All of these help me know what to focus my prayers on each day.
I understand that quite a bit of money is needed to adopt your third angel....is there a way to donate some, small as it may be, and bring her into her new family sooner?
Thanks so much for keeping this website up. You encourage me daily! Michael Jenettwe – 03/21/09 4:31 AM Hey Juliana..
Happy belated birthday, sweety. You're special and everyone who leaves you messages here knows that too. You are so strong and i don't know if i could ever be as strong as you are. My heart goes out to you ..i cringe at the thoughts of surgery on me but you made it all look alright even though i know that the pain is a little too hard for you to handle for your age. Never let anyone bring you down okay?..Alot of people loves you.. people like your mum..your family and even strangers like me too.. I hope you well..and may god bless you and your family.
Stay Cheerful Always..
Love,
Michael.
Kiia – Texas! – 03/20/09 6:06 PM Wow! i ALWAYS Thought I'd Be The One Inspiring YOUNGER Children Than I. I'm 15! But Yet, Juliana Has Inspired Me! She Gives Off The Message Of NEVER GIVING UP! You've Inspired Me, Also. I Know Many Women And Men Who Would Have Just Thrown Their Child (If They Were Like Juliana) Away A LONG Time Ago. But You Are A REAL Woman. Your Husband And Your Other Daughter Are Soldiers Too! Yall Are A GREAT Family. It's Just Amazing How Yall Are Holding Up! Juliana Is Beautiful Inside And Out. i Love This Site! This Family! And YOUR FAITH!
Everytime I Get On My Knees To Pray, Juliana And The Family Is In MY Prayers! When I FIRST Heard About Her, I Thought Maybe It Was A Joke. But When I Looked Up The Site And The Names And EVERYTHING, i Began TO Cry! I Began To Pray Too Because I Know That GOD Puts Things In Our Lives To Make Us Stronger! Your A STRONG Woman. I Just LOVE Seeing Her In The Pictures In Her MANY CUTE Oufits! I Don't Even Know You Or Even The Family AT ALL But Just Know, Lil Miss Kiia Here Is ALWAYS Praying For You And I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE To Meet You & Juliana ONe Day! I'd REALLY Love That.
Take Care! & Keep Up The Good Work! :D
Love,
-KiiaX0X0<3 Andre – Windsor, Ontario, Canada – 03/20/09 4:23 PM Wow another birthday already?! I've followed your adventures now for a good chunk of years. My oldest just turned 18 on March 18. My youngest is 7, and Juliana, you's 2 together would make quite a force to be reckoned with! How does God bottle so much attitude in these little kids!? Well Happy Birthday and our prayers are always on this beautiful family. And Mom, your comment made me laugh, I say "Listen here sister..." quite a bit too!! Kathy Hall – Minooka, IL – 03/20/09 10:14 AM You know what, Ana? Sometimes Lauren and Melly both do the same thing that you do...sometimes they'll say "no" to their "ears", too...I guess once in a while it must be nice to have a little quiet from all the noises...not mommy's voice...just the mixed-up noises of the world. Lauren and Melly can't describe it for me yet, but from the little I've learned I know they don't hear exactly what I hear even with their "ears"...someday, you'll all have to explain it to us, okay? I'm so excited to hear you're going to have the Baja implant! I did a little research on it and am so happy that it will help you! I know it's hard having so many tests, Ana...you've had more in your 6 years than some of us have had in our whole lives!...and we all have a "bad day" sometimes :). (You should see what a baby I can be when I go to the dentist!!!)...next time you'll do fine, I know it. :)
We can't wait to finally see your new "story" on the Discovery Health Channel this coming Sunday, Ana!...we'll get to see you and Kendra and Mommy and Daddy (and maybe a peek at Nana Colleen! :)
We love you, Sweet Pea...hugs and kisses from all of us to everyone there...you're in our thoughts and prayers everyday, and we'll especially be praying for you on April 8th...
Gramma Kathy and Grampa Maynard...
Pete, Erica, Meghan, Lindsey, Lauren, and Melly Amy Henderson – Palm Harbor,FL – 03/20/09 12:07 AM Happy birthday Juliana! Six years old already! Hope all your birthday wishes come true! Take care! audrey – Norwalk, CT – 03/19/09 10:58 PM Dear Juliana,
Happy, happy birthday to a beautiful little girl who is an inspiration to us all. God bless you and your family! You will forever be in my thoughts and prayers.
audrey
P.S. I love the matching dresses!!!! Vicki Fitzpatrick – Orange, CA – 03/19/09 7:15 PM Hi Tami,
I always direct my messages to Juliana, however I wanted you to know that you are all in my prayers everyday. You, your husband, Kendra, and Jeanne are very special people. God only blesses special people with gifts like Juliana. I've never met any of you before but I have so much love for all of you. And Juliana has wrapped herself around my heart and she will always be there. God bless you with His strength, His patience, His peace, and His love. And thanks for taking the time that you do to let us all know how Juliana and the rest of you are doing.
In His Love,
Vicki Vicki Fitzpatrick – Orange, CA – 03/19/09 7:06 PM Hi Sweet Little Princess!
Wow! I was just reading some of the messages that people send you and, you know what? Many, many people love you and Kendra, and your Mommy and Daddy. And EVERYBODY thinks you're a pretty brave little girl. I don't know of a whole lot of other six year olds that are as brave as you are! Other little girls and boys see how brave you are and they want to be brave like you. But those ducks were were a little scary. They were kind of pushy, weren't they? They just come right up and take the food right out of your hands, don't they? But Ducks don't get to eat any pudding. I hear you got to eat some pudding! I love pudding. My favorite kind of pudding is chocolate. What's your favorite? Maybe Mommy will make you and Kendra some yummy pudding and you can share it with Daddy too. I hear you are a little chatter box. That means that you talk a lot. I'm glad to hear that and that's really good. But always remember to listen to Mommy and Daddy because they know when we're supposed to be quiet and when it's okay to talk. I really like your Dainty Flower picture. You look sooooooo pretty in it. You have beautiful hair! You and Kendra are both very pretty little girls and you both have really pretty hair. And you both have the prettiest smiles! Keep smiling pretty girl. We love to see you smile. Gob Bless you Juliana! I love you....
Until next time,
Vicki nancy alloway – NJ – 03/19/09 12:08 PM Happy Belated Birthday Juliana! You were born a full month before my niece Amanda. You both remind me of each other! I have a little story about ducks. When my niece Rebecca was 3 years old we took her to feed the ducks. They chased her all around the park while she was screaming. She didnt realize they werent going to hurt her until she fell down in the grass. They turned around and walked away. Maybe you will have better luck next time feeding the ducks. Sending much love to you and your family from NJ!!!! lisa hart – adona arkansas – 03/19/09 12:01 PM My husband seen your video on youtube and it has deeply touched our hearts we watch it daily.. my 5 year old daughter seen it as well and said "wouldnt it be awesome if we could help her"!!!!! so trust me you will definitely be hearing from us again. the picture of you holding your hand up like a "rock on" sign, my kids do that all the time and got excited when they seen you doing that.... you stay brave and good luck with everything ¢¾¢¾¢¾ Arlene Williams – Michigan – 03/19/09 9:33 AM Stumbled on your video on You-tube and was in awe of the courage and love shown by this wonderful family. This is what God speaks of, we are all so very different yet so much alike. I will pray for Juliana & your family that her surgeries will be a successful and as painless as possible. As a mother of 3 & grandmother of 3 I know the immense love that your family feels. GOD IS LOVE!!!! Pamela – Vandling, PA – 03/18/09 4:39 PM You are all amazing!!! May God continue to bless you and yours. Thank you for showing us true love and strength—some things a lot of families never have. Amazing site, amazing little girl, amazing parents and nurse. Thank you for sharing Juliana's story! Tereza Cerqueira – Ottawa, Ontario – 03/17/09 3:08 PM Hi my name is Tereza, I find Julianna's story very inspiring and I enjoy reading the updates in your journal. I recently heard that you are in the process of adopting a nother child. Congratulations. you seem like a very strong family unit. I am sure you will be a great family for this child. Say hello to Kendra and Julianna for me.
PS I am looking forward to seeing more pictures of your family.
All the best,
Tereza Sergio Cuccurullo – Naples Italy – 03/17/09 11:07 AM My dear Juliana, just yesterday night I read your story.
I think sincerely that, despite your illness, you're very lucky girl. Your parents are fantastic people..very brave.I'm sure they are very happy to see you growing up every day...step by step. Now, after your parents experience, I think when other parents around the world throw away their babies in rubbish...
Usually I don't have a prayer very often..but for you and your family I'll have many prayers every night from now on.
A sweet kisses from Italy
Sergio and family Larry Taylor – UK – 03/17/09 8:21 AM I'm sure you get told this a lot, but you are an incredibly brave girl. Everyone who knows you should be very proud of you. Im just an average guy with a family i hold precious. So be happy in your life and know that people all over the world admire you and wish you well, to you and all your family, Good luck.
sys – St. Louis MO – 03/17/09 5:35 AM wow I couldn't figure out the login thing thought it was the wrong password at first haha im silly. So I hear Princess Juliana is a ballerina! I watch ballet videos on the internet and stuff about it, very hard work bein a ballerina. Maybe I could get some pointers. Piano too wow flexible all the way to her fingertips!!! Keep up the good work. :) I can play when the saints go marchin in and thats it! To many buttons for me. Jess – Dubuque, IA – 03/17/09 3:18 AM Hi, sweetie! I just thought I'd drop a line to say that I think you (and your family!) are completely amazing, and I hope that things continue to go so well for you.
It's awesome that you're taking ballet and piano—I always wanted to be a ballerina, but never got around to it (I'm 20 now). Piano is so great, though, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
You've probably heard this a million times already, but your story is so touching. It's such an inspiration, and it's made me realize that there still are good people out there, even though the world's not always the nicest place.
Anyway, hope you're doing well!
<3 Jess Jessica – Tyler, Texas – 03/16/09 4:51 PM Hey sweetie! I just want to say God bless you and that you are a beautiful little girl! You really are a princess, hunny, unique and special in every way!
Keep up your dancing and piano... I did both as a child and I love them!
I'm praying for you and your family.. God bless you all! Glenda Colombo – Buenos Aires - Argentina – 03/16/09 10:10 AM Hi Juliana! so nice to hear you are taking ballet!! I did take a few classes when I was young and I really enjoyed them.
You and your family are an example to keep going.
I'm sure everything gonna be better and better.
Lot of kisses from the south of the planet!!
Glenda Mike Chambers – St. Louis, MO, USA – 03/16/09 2:44 AM Juliana, I just read that you're starting to take piano lessons. Very cool! Stick with it, I started when I was a little younger than you. (I was 4 or 5, I'm 25 next month) It'll be hard at first probably, but trust me when you get older it's great to know how to play. All your friends will be jealous because they have no idea how to. :) Mike Chambers – St. Louis, MO, USA – 03/16/09 2:36 AM Juliana seems like such a sweet girl. Have you ever considered putting videos online too? That would be awesome.
Also, happy birthday Juliana! How is she dealing with the TCS? When she's older enough that would be very cool if she had her own personal blog on here too. I know she's only 6 now.
It's sad that you have to screen these guestbook posts. Some people just feel better about themselves by making fun of the misfortune of others. Lauren Robinson – Woodstock, GA – 03/15/09 10:50 PM I came across your story on Foxnews.com and I was so intrigued. I saw the link to your blog and checked it out. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Juliana. You are truly a remarkable little girl who has already accomplished so much!! I hope you are going to stick with the piano lessons because playing is such a wonderful gift. I wish I had stuck with it. Please know that you are a true inspiration and I wish you the best in your journey. Your mother says you have self-confidence and that is all you need!!! Thank you for being such a remarkable little girl. Stick with the piano and keep on dancing!!! Tyler B – Oklahoma – 03/14/09 5:13 PM I am so glad to see you have a web page ! I saw your story a few years ago on TV. you have always been in my prayers since. I am so glad to get a chance to watch you grow up to be a wonderful little girl thru here. Look at that hair !! my , my how you are growing ! I am so amazed at your strength and will. To mom and dad , you are so strong and I have such respect for you. PS that pic of you in your dance outfit , what a HAM !! :) Again thanks for leting me be a apart of your web page to see your progress. Nic Corr – Yorkshire, UK – 03/14/09 7:10 AM I can't remember how I came across your story but I am so pleased I did. What a truly remarkable family. Juliana seems to be a tough little cookie, having been through such a lot and still such an adventurous happy little girl :-)
I teach children who use Makaton signing and can understand how much difference it can make. Have you ever seen Mr Tumble? Its our children's signed programme in the UK called 'Something Special'—here's a link if you want it http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/somethingspecial/mrtumble/
Thank you so much for sharing your story, I look forward to reading more updates.

xxx soph – Australia – 03/13/09 11:36 PM Hey Juliana!
I just wanted to say that you are a great inspiration to me.
I have a facial condition also, called Moebius Syndrome, but it is nowhere near as critical as yours.
The fact that you are happy and healthy is amazing, I think that is the greatest thing ever, because everything seems better when we take everything in our stride and don't focus on the bad things all the time.
Your parents sound amazing!
Never let anyone put you down, you are beautiful.
Take care, and always know that there are people all over the world who are thinking about you and loving you.
Soph
xoxo ¢¾ Emily – Maryland – 03/13/09 6:42 PM Juliana!!! How grown up you are (:
Such a sweet and beautiful girl. Im so excited that you are doing ballet! I did ballet when I was around your age! I hope you like it!
Take care all
Im praying for each and every one of you!
God Bless kyla – Edmonton, AB – 03/13/09 5:41 PM What a lucky little girl to have such wonderful parents! Your family is an inspiration and role model to me and so many others. I read in an article about Juliana that God doesn't give more than we can handle. It's something I keep in mind while I count my blessings raising my autistic son. You are all so strong and loving; the world needs more people like your family. Elizabeth – Wesley Chapel, NC – 03/13/09 4:42 PM Hi, I just saw your story on utube and cried because of how much love your family has for each other. God has blessed each one of us with a special blessing and yours is Juliana. She has to be the cuties things. Is she 5 or 6? I didn't read when she was born, sorry. I have a son who is 5 and he is into everything. I'm sure Juliana is too. She looks like she is having fun in her pictures. My God give your family strength and courage to do what is right for Juliana and keep the faith. In His Name.... Love, Elizabeth Alekasandra – Moscow – 03/12/09 9:58 PM My Dear Juliana!You've got amazing stong will and I'm sure it would never leave you!God give us trials cause we MUST overcome them.Trials are given only for stong!You are strong!And i m thanking God every day that i can walk i can hear and see this beautiful world!It's really a miracle that we are here!Just trust in God and don't lose ground.I m sure You can!All would be Good!And please keep always love and kindness in your heart cause the power of love is endlessness! Andréa – Brazil – 03/12/09 4:56 PM Happy Birthday Juliana!!:)))
I just happened to come across your videos on youtube, and wow!! You're such a strong little girl!! Keep it up no matter what, because there will always be people supporting you anywhere you go, ok? You're truly a princess, Juliana, believe it!
Just a teenage girl from far away who wanted to say hi ^_^

Alvin Phair – Northern Ireland – 03/11/09 10:16 PM HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY JULIANA!!!!
Hope you were spoiled rotten!
My family & I send you birthday wishes and our love.
Alvin & Family Ozelle – New York – 03/11/09 5:06 AM I saw this story on Youtube and it really touched my heart. Juliana is a blessing to your family. She is here on earth to serve a special purpose and she is a beautiful person. Your family is strong and by God's grace you will overcome any adversity you may face. One's strength is determined by their ability to overcome life's obstacles. I see the love and togetherness of your family and Juliana is blessed to have wonderful parents like yourself and Thom. I will continue to pray for your family and Juliana. Keep God first always and God bless your lovely souls. Vicki Fitzpatrick – Orange, CA – 03/10/09 10:54 PM Helllllloooooo Juliana!
How are you, big sister, and mommy and daddy doing? Hope all is well for you all. I'll bet you had a great birthday celebration with all your family and friends. I thought about you and celebrated your life also because you are such a special gift from God. Just knowing about you and your family blesses my life so much. Thank you for letting me share in your life! I can't wait to hear what's been going on in your life since your mommy wrote in February. God bless you...and Kendra...and Mommy...and Daddy. I love you pretty girl.
Until next time,
Vicki Raychel C. – Texas – 03/10/09 9:43 AM I cried so hard when I saw one of Juliana's videos on YouTube.com. She's such a special little girl, and you and Thom are so wonderful for standing up and facing the troubles to take care for Juliana the way she was made. Very touching. I am expecting my first child on Mother's Day, and I will do anything for him/her until the very end. I wish you all the best and you are in my prayers. jose miranda – USMC, Camp Pendleton Ca – 03/07/09 3:48 PM I happened to come accross this story two days ago and since then I have been reading on Juliana and the motivation that Wetmore family has had. My family and I send you the best of wishes. I am looking forward to watching the progress for Juliana not only on her surgeries but on her skills on the piano, ballerina and whatever futre interests she may have.
Jose Dogstand – London, England – 03/07/09 8:33 AM This is the first time I've dropped in here Juliana, and I'm really glad I have done.
Happy birthday to you firstly. I guess you must be six now. I have two little girls just like you. One is a year older and the other a year younger.
Since Cameron and Tille first heard about your story, they have like the rest of us been fascinated with and inspired by yours and your family's determination meet all the challenges life has thrown at you. We often talk about you and wonder how things are for you, what new procedures you have had done, whether you have started school etc.
They'll be pleased to know that you are doing well and enjoying childhood, family and friends like any other kid.
Take care little lovely
Graeme Mrs. Kathryn Gaddis – Robins Airforce Base, Georgia – 03/06/09 10:42 PM Hello!

I want to tell you how amazing you're whole family is, I admire you all so much. Especially Julinana, she seems like such a sweet little girl, and so strong and confident, you're so lucky to have her.

God's not through with you yet...He's just gotten started! Love is coming to you from all over the world, Sweet Pea...keep "keepin' on"...God bless you on your birthday and here's some more love from the Quirks and Halls in Illinois. :)

Wow! You're 6 years old! You are quite the young lady now. I'm sure you and your family are going to have a great celebration and that your Mommy will tell us all about it. My birthday is the day after tomorrow but I'm a little older than you are. I'll be thinking about you as I celebrate my birthday. How are the flowers you guys planted doing? Are they getting big? I'll bet you have a favorite. I wonder what your favorite flower is? I hope you are enjoying school. You're quite a busy little miss with school, piano practice, tending your flowers, and now a big birthday!
Well you have the best day ever today celebrating with Kendra, Mommy, and Daddy. Happy Birthday pretty girl. I love you.

Noel.G Alison – Florida – 03/02/09 5:57 PM I am still young, (11), but when I saw you Juliana, I said, "Holy Moly!" I had never seen such a pretty little girl! It is true! I thought you were cute! And I looked to see if you had a website, and you did so that made my day. I live in the Tampa area of Florida, if you are familiar with it I am not sure. Also, how old is Juliana know? She has grown soooo much since I heard about her! Also, how old is Kendra? Hope you guys are doing well! Peace out!
~ Alison Mandy Martell – Clearwater FL – 03/02/09 4:19 PM Hi beautiful girls! Stopped by today to say hello. We are about to begin a 5 week TDY with my hubby, Anna's daddy. We are so excited to be able to use Skype. I loved hearing that you are able to talk you daddy on your Skype too. Makes being so far away so much easier. When J returns home, I hope we can make it your way for a visit. Sending our thoughts and love. Have a great week! Betty Chan – Hong Kong – 03/01/09 11:18 PM As far as I remember, Juliana's birthday is coming? Happy Birthday! Hope she always enjoy her every moment!

Gracias Juliana... Daniel – Shawnee, Kansas – 03/01/09 7:10 PM Hello, I saw your story on TV and i thought that you are so inspiring.

john terlingo Natalie Weaver – Charlotte NC – 02/27/09 5:37 PM Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that you are such an inspiration to my family. Four months ago we had a sweet baby girl named Sophia. She was born with multiple birth defects to her face, hands, feet, and body. None of her doctors have ever seen anything like her.
I saw your site a week into having her, it gave me strength. I knew that I could get through this thanks to your positive words and wonderful pictures of your daughter and family. You are a great mother! Thank you for being an inspiration to my family! Angie Ayala – California – 02/27/09 5:07 PM I just wanted to say that I admire little Juliana and her family so much! The strength, faith, and love you show is incredibly moving. You are all in my prayers and may God bless you. No matter what anyone says or thinks, Juliana is a blessing to the world, and her life has a special meaning and purpose, just as everyone's does. God bless you guys. Auree Gay-Strickland – Florida – 02/27/09 5:05 PM What a beautiful spirit and such a strong little fighter too. God bless you and your family. cara Bounds – Londonderry NH – 02/27/09 4:50 PM Glad to see Juliana is doing so well. (and Kendra too!)
Kendra was at my house quite a while ago.
My cousin is Michelle Smith. I actually met Tammy at Michelle's house years ago, I think she was pregnant with Kendra at the time.
I picked up Kendra and Michelle at the airport years ago when Kendra stayed in Maine.
I keep Juliana in my prayers!
Cara Bounds
Londonderry NH Socorro Zaragoza – Sanger, CA – 02/26/09 3:25 PM As an Aunty of a handsome young boy with TCS, I am so proud of Juliana. By simply clicking on to your website you have showed me strength I have never imagined. Just as my nephew, Juliana, you are truly a blessing! Ana Ramos – Manchester, TN – 02/26/09 11:54 AM Juliana, I just need to let you know that I'll keep you in my hearth for the rest of my life because you and your beautiful family inspire me.

Brittany B – Alberta , Canada – 02/25/09 11:33 PM Wow, I must say Juliana is one amazing talented little girl. You must be so proud.
Juliana, I am a dancer as well, I am still a teen and I've been dancing about 11 years. Keep up the dancing, you will go so far. Your mommy and daddy are so proud of you! Keep up the great work, you are forever in all of our prayers! Vicki Fitzpatrick – Orange, California – 02/25/09 2:31 PM Hello to the pretty princess and her family!
How are you all doing? Are you still practicing your piano Juliana? I'll bet that someday you will be a great piano player and will play for many people. Because you have so many gifts and playing the piano is just one of them. Are you still waking Kendra up with a pillow? I guess when you decide it's time for somebody to get up, you want to make sure they get up! I can't wait to read the newest entry in your Mom's journal. I love hearing about you and your big sister, and all the activities of your family. Keep smiling pretty girl. I love you!
Vicki Taylor A – Washington – 02/24/09 1:17 AM I was reading some of the other guest book entries and I think its amazing how someone so young can touch and inspire so many hearts. I loved reading about your story! Kristi Morris – Abilene, TX – 02/23/09 10:08 AM Happy Monday morning! I was just thinking about you guys and thought i would write. Not sure what your weather there is like, but it is suppose to be a beautiful day here with crazy warm temps. I hope you guys have a wonderful day!!!

Great to see Juliana is taking all in her stride, one tough little cookie that girl!

And you are a princess, keep dreaming and smiling to life, cause you deserve it. My baby thinks shes a princess too, she has to eat in a princess plate, with a princess cup, princess pijamas and pull ups. Take care and lots of kisses for you from Viviana and me. Ewa Leidesdorff – Sweden – 02/21/09 9:22 AM Dear famili Wetmore and Juliana,
today I see a program on tv in Sweden, about Juliana and it really touched my heart. So I wanted to know moore about Your famili and search and I find this site.
You are a amazing famili and I know in my heart that it will goes very well for Juliana.
She is amazing girl and she have a great sister and famili by her side.
I give the famili Wetmore and Juliana all the luck in the future and sending lots of hugs from Sweden Lisa Grady – Dundee, Scotland – 02/20/09 7:07 PM I have followed Julianas story through youtube videos, searching websites online etc then i discovered this website. Juliana is a very beautiful girl who seems to have such a lust for life. My heart lifts every time i look at photos of her. I laughed so much when i read how she likes to wake Kendra up by hitting her with pillows lol, my daughter likes to wake me in this way too, she is 8 years old and far too stubborn for her own good lol. I love seeing how Juliana has grown, how she seems to let nothing faze her. You should be very proud of her and there is no doubt in my mind that you are! Don't worry about the haters on youtube etc, they fear what they don't understand. Juliana, you are beautiful, you have such an energy around you that it's impossible for it not to affect others! ps, keep annoying your big sister, thats what little sisters are for lol shhhh don't tell anyone i said that ;) paul kerr – 02/20/09 5:30 PM It's great to read the updates and know that you're all doing well. I continue to be in awe of Juliana's courage—she's an amazing girl!!!! Kristi Morris – Abilene, TX – 02/20/09 9:47 AM You Rock Kendra!!!! Sticking up for your sister!!! Woo hoo!!!
Thank you for the update Jeanne. I can't believe how big Juliana is getting and that gorgeous hair!!! :)
I think children need to be educated by teachers and parents both that everyone is different and to embrace the uniqueness of the person next to us. Go Wetmore Girls!!!!
It sounds like Juliana has made so much progress and handles it like a rock star!!! Kick butt baby!
Have a wonderful weekend!!!
Sending lots of hugs and love-
Sincerely,
Kristi
Rebekah – Colorado – 02/19/09 11:44 PM Juliana looks so great. I have been following her story from the very start. I know her little cheek is in process but honestly she looks so great, and she has always looked happy. Way to go Juliana. What a fighter. Kathy Hall – Minooka, IL – 02/19/09 8:00 PM Dictated and writing this for Lauren: Hi, Ana! I like you...you are very special to me. I like Kendra, too. I like your mom! I hope you're having fun in Florida...it's really cold here. My gramma is very, very happy. We looked at your pictures and they are pretty. We got a new computer with a webcam and pretty soon I'll be able to call you on it! That will be neat! I hope you are coming to my house again soon...I miss you!
Bye for now...Lauren :) Debbie Boutilier – Halifax, Nova Scotia – 02/19/09 1:05 PM This is my first time on the site. I seen Juliana's documentry a few years back & have wondered many times what has ever become of her and her family. I will now "check in" on a regular basis.
To her parents...God Bless you. You have been so strong through all this & I know many that would have given up a long time ago. God has presented you with a special gift. Everyone can & will learn from your experience. You have many strong supports in your pursuit of happiness and well being for Juliana. Your guardian angels are with you at all times, to help guide you. Best of luck with everything! XO
To Juilana... one of the strongest little girls I have ever laid eyes on. I LOVED seeing the pictures of you and your sister. You are a beautiful princess. Purple is my favorite color. You look so beautiful in your purple dress! You are a very lucky little girl to have such loving, caring parents ...and a sister you can wake up early in the morning with a pillow fight...Hahahaha~ You would be such a ham to have around! God Bless you sweetie and be a good girl...
Chat to you soon!
Debbie Boutilier
XOXOXO Louise Ericson – Gothenburg, Sweden – 02/19/09 7:18 AM I saw the documentary yesterday and I was deeply touched by the strength and courage that your daughter shows. A reamrkable girl. It was fantastic to see her and Kendras close relations. Real sibling-love with big L!
My son was born with a mild craniofacial disorder/synostos called Metopica Synostos, he underwent an operation of 4 hrs when he was 5 months old. It was fantastic to see how much the craniofacial experts/surgeons could and will continue to do for your daughter! I hope they will send the next documentary i Sweden as well.
Best regards from Louise (with son Eric who is 3 1/2 yrs old and daughter Ebba who is 6, just like Juliana is soon) Roseline Rosberg – Sweden(Trelleborg) – 02/19/09 6:28 AM Hi,
Last night me and my family watched the documentary about Juliana, it touched our hearts... What a brave and beautifoul girl!The bond between the sisters brought tears to my eyes,,,
All the best to your family!
//Roseline Shiela Shinholster – Woodstock, Ga – 02/18/09 9:04 PM Hi Juliana! I just read Nurse Jeanne's latest entry and checked out your new pix :) I love your pretty dress and you are doing so great with your surgeries. Stay strong, the best is yet to come cutie pie! Love to you all! Tracy – Ruthven, Iowa – 02/18/09 7:55 PM Juliana,
I see that you have a BIG 6th Birtday coming up soon. Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! :) to you. You are getting so bid. Has your mommy picked out a name yet for your new baby sister? Kathy Hall – Minooka, IL – 02/18/09 3:33 PM Hey, Sweet Pea! You are growing up sooooo much! And your new picture is so beautiful! Have I told you lately how awesome I think you are? Well, you are. You just keep "keepin' on" through everything, and I know it can't always be easy. Um...but there is one little thing I need to talk to you about though...what's this about you beatin' Keni up with a pillow to get her up in the morning? You little stinker, you!!! I have a feeling she laughs or you wouldn't be getting away with that (from her or mommy!!! :) Be good, Peanut, and why don't you try kissing Keni gently awake some morning instead...bet she'd be so surprised she'd fall out of bed! :) Tell Mommy and Daddy and Keni, "hi" for all of us and give them big hugs and get a big one back for yourself...we love you, Sweetheart. Take care and God bless.
Love, Gramma Happy

Susanna – Sweden – 02/18/09 3:05 PM Hi!
I'm just watching a documentary of your youngest daughter, and became curious how here life was today! I'm glad to see that she still seems to be a very cute, fun and cool girl! it is, like we say in Sweden, a real "Sunshine history" (you feel happy inside when you hear about it). I think your family glows of love of eachother, and the way the older sister takes care of the little one is just so sweet!
well, good luck to you all!
(english is not my native language, so excuse me if I spell or use the grammar wrong) Therese Nybeck – Sweden – 02/18/09 3:05 PM Hello. I hope that everything is good whit Juliana and the rest of the family.

Nancy Connie Halvorsen – Schoolcraft, MI – 02/17/09 8:20 PM Hi Juliana and family,
I appreciate reading your updates and seeing your pictures. The way you and your family handle life with its ups-and-downs is truly an inspiration! Thank you.
Connie Karen Victoria Davenport – New York, NY – 02/17/09 2:21 PM Hi Sweet Juiana,
I was glad to read the updates and see your new picture. You sure look adorable in your dress with your hair ornament.
I hope you are having fun in the Florida sunshine. We are having a lot of sun and blue skies, but the cold weather continues up here.
Much love, and hello to your family and Jeanne and the dog,
Karen Victoria xox Kim – Fall River, MA – 02/17/09 9:53 AM Juliana, you keep amazing me everytime I read a new update or see a new photo. I think you are absolutely beautiful! I look at your photos and see a normal spunky little girl who loves to play and dance! I would love to meet you, I know you would keep me on my toes at all times! You should be thankful that you have such a great big sister too.
Kendra, what a strong girl you are too! Your little sister will always need you to be a strong big sister. I love how you told the other kids that Juliana is "just another kid" when they were picking on her. You are right, Juliana is just another kid that looks a little different. Stay strong and brave!
I look forward to the new documentary! I can't wait to see Juliana in action! Ian Born – Sherwood, Ohio – 02/17/09 3:40 AM I just wanted to say that I wish the best for Juliana and her family. I cannot imagine how difficult this must be for everyone, however love will prevail. I'm an undergraduate student and I am planning on pursuing neuroscience. Hopefully I can contribute something to humanity in doing this.
There are many people who care about you Juliana, I don't even know you personally but you have my love.
Ian Linda Horner – Madeira Beach FL – 02/16/09 9:42 PM Juliana,
Glad you and your family and your nurse Jeanne are doing well.
I am looking forward to the results of your up comming surgery (ies) your Mom mentioned in her last post within the past couple of days to help smooth out your left cheek.
I am also excited about the arrival of your new sister. This may take awhile for all the paperwork to get worked out but you and your family and nurse Jeanne need to pe patient and let God do his will.
Your nurse Jeanne has been with you for so long that many may consider her a family member and maybe she should be. I kind of think of her in that way as being an aunt to you and Kendall.
Your Mom also mentioned piano lessons that you are taking. Keep up the good work in your dance and piano lessons.
I am looking forward to more updates regarding your progress in your upcomming surgeries and arrival of your new sister.
Linda Horner juliane – BRASIL, CURITIBA-PR – 02/16/09 7:20 AM my dear you are the pollock to be more special that already touched my heart I would like to know you and I think we have this opportunity. you made me see that we can overcome any obstacle and be winners, his mother is a queen for giving all you need for a princess and you fight for life and show the world what it is to be happy. God bless all your days. a big kiss from your friend from Brazil. Vicki Fitzpatrick – Orange, California – 02/15/09 8:29 PM Hi little Princess!
I haven't written in a while but you've been on my mind. You are such a blessed little princess to have the wonderful family you have. Your big sister Kendra is a real sweetheart, isnt' she. And I hear you're learning to play the piano! You know, I play the piano and when I was your age, I sometimes didn't like to practice. But my mom made me practice and I'm so glad she did. Because if she hadn't made me practice, I might have given up and stopped playing. When I grew up, I had four sons and at night, I would play for them after I put them to bed—sometimes I'd play until midnight! I'm so glad I never gave up because it brings me much enjoyment now. I know it will you also, even if it is when you get older. So, even when you don't want to practice, listen to your Mommy and do it anyway. I'm glad to hear that everything is going well for you, Kendra, and Mommy and Daddy. It has been very busy here at our household but I will write you again soon. I love you pretty girl!
Vicki Kristi Morris – Abilene, TX – 02/15/09 1:48 PM Hi there!! That was a good Juliana story with her waking Kendra up- I got a good chuckle out of it. Its good to hear everything is routine for the moment. I find that a routine helps me feel stable and a little more secure at times. love the "princess parade"- all little girls are princesses!! :)
Thank you so much for the update.
Always thinking about you guys! Sending lots of love your way-
Sincerely,
Kristi Andre – Windsor, Ontario, Canada – 02/15/09 1:18 PM Hello to the Wetmore gang!
I have to write today after reading your latest update. I have a 7 year old daughter who also believes she is a princess and proclaims it to me. I think the self worth you have instilled in Julianna is the same I did, and I hope is the ground work for the self values. Sometimes the stories you share are clones of my own! I found it very touching how Kendra wakes her sister up with such care, and her tolerance of pillow whopping awakening by her sister! God bless you all. And keep it coming. robyn holmes – Las Vegas – 02/15/09 11:07 AM Hi Wetmores!
Love the update! We think about you all the time!
Jeffrey Brister – Mililani, HI – 02/14/09 11:49 PM Hi Wetmore Family,
I just wanted to drop you a line and say that even I don't know you personally, I think of you often and am inspired by your strengh and love. Seeing Juliana continuing to improve and live her life happily is such a great thing!!! Cheers!!!

Chris Wileman Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, NY – 02/13/09 10:03 PM Hey there my yummy little jelly bean! Can you please get Mommy to watch the INCREDIBLES!?!?!? I've always believed that your family was the inpiration for that movie and have said so many times!!! Remember, way back when I used to post messages on caring bridge? I can't believe she hasn't seen it!!! You have so many powers that you're 2 characters...Dash & Jack Jack and Kendra is totally like Violet with her protective force field!!!Come on Tami!!!! Get with it!!! It's not like Juliana & Kendra keep you THAT busy. Blah, blah, blah...busy, busy, busy...that's all I ever hear!!! Sit through a whole movie—just ONCE...PLEASE!!!

valerie vecchione – 02/12/09 7:36 PM Hello Wetmore Family!
I'm very sorry that the money hasn't gotten in yet, but we've been a bit busy lately. I was just making sure you know that we haven't forgotten! Don't worry, it's on it's way.
Always in our prayers,
~Valerie and Laurie Claire Horner – England – 02/11/09 4:12 AM Juliana seems to be popping up a lot in my life recently! For one I follow reeces rainbow and saw that you had commited to adopting Chrissy (I didn't want to say anything on here until you made the announcement!) and I'm SO excited for you! I was really suprised actually because I'd been interested in Juliana since she was really young and when I read the information on reeces rainbow I knew it was you straight away! Three days later it just so happened that there was a documentry about Juliana on the TV which I just so happened to catch when I was flicking through the channels!
Good luck for the future and I hope all is well in the Wetmore house! Lots of love and God bless you all! Claire x Jonny – Wisconsin – 02/10/09 2:40 AM One of the few things that can make me tear up on the spot is Treacher-Collins syndrome. It amazes me that the families and people with it themselves can make ends meet, emotionally and otherwise, against such cruelty—both the cruelty of people who don't understand and the cruelty of nature for allowing this to happen. You guys have been dealt a bad card and you're dealing with it with more grace than I ever could.
Thank you for sharing your story. :] It's great to know that there really are strong, inspirational people in this world. Despite not knowing you personally, I'm very proud of what you've done and are doing. I wish Juliana luck with whatever comes her way. She deserves happiness, and I'm glad that she was born into such a loving and supportive family. :]
Love, luck, and thanks,
Jonny Jennifer – Granada Hills CA – 02/10/09 12:59 AM Hi Juliana....You are an inspiration to me! after watching the tv show about this sweet child i decided to become a pediatric nurse! Im now in my second year of training and I couldnt be happier!

I think you all are doing a great thing with Juliana. She will have skills way above most people with all the effort and care going into her. She is a lucky girl. Alan Darbe – Michigan – 02/09/09 11:13 AM Hello Wetmore Family,

I work for a local early intervention program and we just received an intake on a child with TCS. I had never heard of it, so I looked it up on-line. You are everywhere.
I haven't read your entire website but I will. You are a beautiful girl, both inside and out. I love your pictures and I hope to see many more on your site. I really like the ballet pictures.

I'm not sure exactly what I'm trying to say, but you inspire me. I hope that when you're older you can look back and appreciate every thing your parents and sister have done for you. You are truly blessed. I wish the world wasn't as cruel a place, and that people didn't judge people by their appearance. But they do. I hope that you're are happy with yourself.
Your Fourteen Year old 'friend',
-grace Leeanna – SC – 02/05/09 7:42 PM Dear Juliana,
I was passing on youtube when I found you. I think you are a miracle from God, and he will use you in special ways. I think your family is doing wonderfully, and your will to fight inspires me to continue fighting whatever comes my way. I hope you succeed in everything you do. God Bless you and your family.
jaymes – Tiny town Montana – 02/05/09 5:46 PM Juliana you take my breath away. You are a walking miracle. I pray that you have the strength to endure the road ahead of you. And if you ever feel overwhelmed know that you have two strong supportive parents on your side at all times. You deserve all the happiness you can handle, and from the look of things you are well on your way to it.
Much love. Mandy Martell – Clearwater FL – 02/04/09 1:29 PM Tammy, Its Mandy (Hollis). We wanted to stop by and say hello to you all. We were so touched about the 3 gifts for Christmas!

You continue to amaze us—we keep you all in our prayers every day, just wanted to say hi, we love you and hope you are healing more and more every day Juliana, and hi Jeanne, hope you are also doing real well. Love and prayers for all, gail and tony in MI J Pamo – Sydney Australia – 01/30/09 9:09 PM Hello Wetmore family
I was so moved by the you-tube video that i came to the link to find out how this is possible.
To share your gift with the world—thank you.
Your daughters are gorgeous and that is evident in the bright smiles of every pic.
I really don't know what to say other than, I know that the reason your family has been blessed with Juliana is because there would have no better family for her. Your family has continued to strengthened throughout your sad times and not many can attest to that when an event of this magnitude strikes them.
So, congratulations and happy 2009 and god bless and no pity here just marvel and in awe of all that you have endured.
JP

mark clements – Norwich UK – 01/30/09 3:01 PM Hi, i just wanted to leave a message after seeing the documentry on Juliana last night.
I've suffered from depression for many years and often get down about my life but after seeing what Juliana and you all have to go through each day it truly put things into perspective for me.
You all have so much courage and positivity when it must be so hard for you.
I will be thinking of Juliana and wishing you all the best and hope everything works out ok for you all in the future.
Will check back often to see how Juliana is getting on, and good luck with the adoption :) Sarah-Jane Morley – Leeds, England. – 01/30/09 10:34 AM I would just like to say how much courage I think you all have, I saw a documentary about juliana last night and was so touched I told all my college friends about her. What she has been through would be hard for someone my age (17) to go through alone let alone going through it while just a child. I would just like to let you know that I am hoping and praying that all the surgeries will have the wanted effect and that she will one day be able to live a life all her own.
All the best wishes and love,
Sarah x x x Chase Marcham – Nottingham – 01/30/09 5:09 AM wow, amazin family, amazing girl, amazin surgeons. Saw the documentary on five and was taken back, not only by the families will and strength but by the surrounding communities aswell. All the best for Juliana's future and may her amazing spirit continue to reach out and touch every part of this world. Debbie Mckenzie – Tullibody, Scotland – 01/29/09 7:27 PM Hi to all the wetmore family, i have just finished watching julianas documentary and was moved to tears.She is an inspiration to everyone i cannot believe everything she has gone through at such a young age and yet she is still such a happy child. Im 26 years old and have two young daughters and i do my fair share of moaning and complaining about silly meaningless things and after seeing your documentary it just puts it all into perspective. Juliana (and Kendra) are two very beautiful and happy little girls, you must be so proud of them both, your family is so strong and your love for each other is very clear to see you are an inspiration. I will be checking regularly now to see how your amazing daughter is doing.
Much love for you all, Debbie xxxxxxx Jean Stearn – lancashire england – 01/29/09 6:31 PM Hi the Wetmore family,
I have just watched a documentary about you all and i just felt that i had to congratulate the whole family you are all remarkable.
The one thing that came over very clearly is the abiding love that you have for one another and how strong you are for one another,im sure at times you fears seem all consuming but you carry on.You have my deepest love and respect if there is ever anything that i can do please just let me know.
Love hugs and kisses to you all.God bless,jean
joseph williams – stonehaven,scotland,uk, – 01/29/09 6:29 PM hi im a 31yr old man and i was drawn to tears by how brave Juliana and your family as a hole are.the documentary i watched she was i think 4 yrs old but not sure how old this documentary was.ill keep one eye on your website to see how things are going,but shes a special kid and a real fighter and everything will be fine.good luck and ill keep glued to this website.joseph williams Gemma Hands – Oxford – 01/29/09 6:04 PM I've just watched your documentary on FIVER and at first I didn't think I could watch, I thought Julianas story would be too sad, but my I'm glad I did.
You are an incredible family. Your stregnth, unity and sheer love is something to be marvelled. You are an inspiration to all.
Julianas beauty shines through and I'm sure all who spend a moment in her presence will see the same. She's precious.

Amapola Kathy Hall – Minooka, IL – 01/28/09 9:30 AM Hey, Sweet Pea! Just stopping in real quick to say "hi" and let you know I haven't forgotten you...that could never happen...I think of you every single day...and Lauren asks me every day if I talked to you :)...for some reason she seems to think I do...funny girl :). Anyway, that little something I promised you? Well, I haven't forgotten that either...I'm still waiting for something to jump up and say "this is for Kendra!" to complete the deal, and then off it will go in the mail...probably in time for your birthday (instead of Christmas as originally planned...silly isn't it? :). I know you don't mind...you're all waiting for something far more special to arrive! Can't wait either! Praying every day for your little sister to come soon...take care, my sweet little girl. Give mommy and daddy and Keni big hugs for all of us...we all send our love, Sweetheart...
Gramma Happy :) and the gang Heather – Seneca, Illinois, USA – 01/27/09 3:03 AM Hi Juliana! I just saw the video on YouTube that's part of a documentary.

Kayte – Sydney, Australia – 01/25/09 7:48 AM Juliana, I have just watched a show on the discovery channel on tv, and your story was featured. You were only 3 years old then, but your beautiful spirit made me smile and I wanted to see how you were doing. I think you are pretty fantastic. I like your dancing pictures the best :D Karen Yax – Lapeer, Michigan – 01/23/09 2:52 PM Dear Juliana, I think you are beautiful! I also think your parents and your siblings are blessed to have such a special, strong and courageous young lady in their lives. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that all 3 of your gifts were exactly what you wanted! Stay strong, little lady-you have lots and LOTS of people rooting for you!
From the Yax family in Michigan Jacqui – Aberdeen, Scotland – 01/22/09 6:07 PM Just wanted to say that your web page makes very interesting reading! Our son, Marc was born in March 2008 with a probable diagnosis of TCS. This has since been confirmed by DNA testing. We have been informed that he is the only one in the Grampian Region in Scotland with it, so local support groups are non-existent!! He is our one in a million and we are very, very lucky to have such a special little boy! Before Marc was born, we had never heard of TCS and having done much research came accross your web page! Thanks once again! Denise – New Jersey – 01/21/09 3:12 PM Hello Juliana and family. I saw the picture on this web page. They are so cute. You and your big sister with those cute little dresses on in the chair is one of my favorites. Your story warms my heart and I am so glad to see you in sports and dance. I am an exercise instructor and exercise and sports are great for kids and adults. I will keep reading the updates and I wish you all the luck. You are a brave little girl and you have a wonderful family. A big internet hug from Denise in New Jersey. Have a great winter. Spring comes so soon and Thats a good time of year to see the beautiful flower and you are a beautiful flower. Rebecca – UK – 01/19/09 8:08 AM To Juliana, and all the family!
Happy New Year! Hope it will be a good one for you all.
Was just checking the updates and looking at your photos. I wanted to post just to say that this is the cutest picture ever! (http://www.julianawetmore.net/pictures.php?id=82) You look so beautiful, and such a little cutie! I hope you continue dancing for a long time, it's such fun! All the best for this coming year, and the homecoming of your new sister! (which will hopefully be very soon)
Love,
Rebecca xx Katie Matthews – Spain – 01/17/09 3:27 PM Happy New Year to you all. I have followed your story Julianna from when you were born,you are truly an amazing,bright and brave little girl! My middle child is called Joe and his best friend lives in England and his name is Ashley and he also has Treacher Collins Syndrome. He will be nine this year and has had many operations,although not as many as you ! He has now had his Trachy removed after a jaw operation and he has requested to not have anymore operations for the time being ( he's been given the opportunity to have ears fitted). It's great news that your going to be a big sister,how exciting! Help to look after Mummy as she'll probaly get tired,I did when I was having my third boy!! Nathalie Kleinendorst – Spijkenisse, The Netherlands – 01/17/09 9:07 AM I wish you all the best for this new year.

That say’s a lot about you all respecting here and her wishes!!

Happy new year to you and what a year it is shaping up to be with a new sister on the way! How neat this will be for you.

YOU HAVE THE REALITY LOVE, JULIANA...I LOVE YOU! Rachael – Devon, England, UK – 01/12/09 7:14 AM Hello Juliana and family. My name is Rachael, and I'm 19 years of age. I saw a documentary about you and your story, and I was so touched by it. I know so many others were too. You are an incredible little girl, and I can imagine your family are so proud of you. You've touched so many people all over the world, even over in England! I saw the photo of you at Sea World and I was so jealous! You look like you had a wonderful time with the dolphins! I hope that you are well, and that you have a wonderful new year. I send my love to you and all your family. Tracy – 01/11/09 8:48 PM Congradulations Juliana, you are going to be a big sister. What fun you will have, try not to be too bossy. You will get to play mommy too. I'm sure mommy will need your help taking care of the baby. You are getting so big. Tell Kendra HI! :)
psy.co – Czech Republic – 01/11/09 6:38 PM God bless to you. Wish you good luck. Martin geny – Mexico – 01/10/09 6:58 PM juliana Wetmore God bless you Angie Rodriguez – Hollywood, CA – 01/10/09 1:14 PM Greetings, Wetmore Family! Since seeing Juliana on TLC, I have searched for her online with hopes of finding more information—and here it is! I am so inspired by this little girl (and her Mommy, Daddy and Big Sis) and just all of the love and happiness that you all have. I personally know many families with less complicated problems who cannot figure out how to just be happy like you all have. KUDOS, Mom- you have figured it out and are doing a fantastic job! As a woman, I know that we are the glue that holds a family together, and you are an awesome role model for myself. I haven't had the luck that you have, with being able to get pregnant, but when I do (God willing), I hope to do what you are doing- just raising a couple of great kids with an awesome partner. And Dad, you also are the most caring and sensetive, loving father I've seen in a very long time. Your strength shows in your family... any woman out there would be lucky to have a guy like you! Kendra, you are just plain ol' amazing. You really impressed me with how cool you are with having a sister who seems to get a lot of attention- I would think that'd get old after awhile, but you don't let that get to you. Also, you are a hero for saving your sister when she pulled out her tubes that day when she got really sick... don't forget that you are a hero, ok?
As for Juliana: kid, you are gorgeous, and don't let anyone EVER let you think different!! (I especially love how you've grown your hair long, very pretty.)
Thanks so much for making parts of your lives available for us to check in on—it gives me hope. Sometimes this world seems like a big, cold place and Juliana is like smelling roses within it all.
I wish you all good health, happiness and love—not that you need it!!!! You are in my prayers.
Angie
P.S. If you guys ever come to Hollywood, ring me- I'd love to be your tour guide! Xoxoxo Emma Brun-Hayne – Toronto Onatrio – 01/10/09 12:40 PM Hey Wetmore Family!
I just finished watching your special on TLC and I can honestly say I am so touched by your story!
Juliana, I cannot imagine how hard it must have been to go through the operation room as many times as you did- you are so brave!! You are a huge inspiration because you have shown so much courage and determination that everyone should look up to. Don't let anyone ever tell you that you're different, and after hearing your story I don't understand how anyone could think you are anything less than beautiful. I wish you all the best, and I will always admire you.
Yours truely, Emma Brun-Hayne Juliana M – Colorado – 01/09/09 9:43 PM Dear Wetmore Family,
I was being silly with friends and searching my name on youtube to see if there were any videos of me, when none were found I clicked on a clip from the TLC special that you were on. I am so touched by your story! You are truly an amazing family to hold on to and stand by such a precious little girl. Juliana, I am honered we share a name and I am in awe of you. To experience all that you have experienced in such a short amounnt of time and take it so well is such an inspiration. You are truly my hero for humbling me and making me feel as though I have something to live up to. I saw on some of the pictures on here that you dance, I am a ballet dancer and am off to study it in college next year. I hope you love dancing and I hope that it brings to you the joy it has brought me. You are an amazing girl and do not let anyone ever try and tell you anything different! I hope all is well and that it continues to be well! God bless!
-Juliana Michelle
p.s Keep Dancing! Linda Horner – Madeira Beach FL – 01/09/09 9:23 PM Juliana,
Hope you and Kendall are back into the school routine after the Christmas/winter break.
I am looking forward to updates and further documentaries on your recent and future surgeries. You have come a very long way. The work Dr. Wolf and his team has done and continues to do is amazing.
You and your family are also amazing with everything you all have been through. God has really blessed you and I pray he continues to do so. I know he has been guiding Dr. Wolf and his team in treating you and the other children that Dr. Wolf and his team have helped and continue to help.
Hang in there with your treatments and surgeries. You have gotten so much better and I know you will continue to get better.
I am also looking forward to more news about the arrival of your new sister. Is she younger or about your age?
Well got to go for now.
Take care.
Linda Kirstyn wright – Orange Park, FL – 01/09/09 5:54 PM Hey there, Wetmores! Just wanted to say hello! I check this site often to see how you all are doing. I am so excited for your new addition! That is wonderful! We have had a new one too -#4 in Feb. of 2008. So now we're even with 2 girls and 2 boys. I did the three gifts with my kids too this year! I read the idea in a magazine—and loved it. We talked during homeschooling about gold, frankensence and myrhh, and I really felt it kept our focus on Jesus. I thought that was funny you did that too! I have a blog at www.homeschoolblogger.com/disneymom4 if you want to keep up with us! Take care, and know we're always praying for you! -Kirstyn Wright John LaGooshe – Louisville, Kentucky – 01/09/09 9:35 AM I was inspired when I saw Juliana's face. I suffer from the same disease, and she made me realize I can lead a normal life. Andrew Webb – Lillington, NC – 01/08/09 5:42 PM You are amazing! All of you; friends, family... all of you. Tap and plays, you can do it. :) I hope that you all had a great Christmas. I really dig the idea of three gifts, three wise men. It's all about Jesus. Somewhere in time that got lost. :( Happy New Year, too! You guys have any plans or goals special for this year? Mine is to be a better Christian and to bring as much joy as I can to those around me.... and to figure out what career to pursue. I wish you the best and outside of generalization, if there is anything I can pray with you about let me know. A good friend told me once that however big my problem, God is bigger. Take care for now. God Bless! Heather – Chester, SC – 01/08/09 2:43 PM Hey Juliana and Family,

Heather Klawer Vicki Fitzpatrick – Orange, CA – 01/08/09 11:39 AM Hey Pretty Girl!
How are you doing, little Angel Girl? Have you gone back to school yet? I know everybody at school really missed you while you were gone. Wow! You're getting a new little sister! I'll bet you all are excited about that. You and your sister will have another sister to play with! And then there will be 3 pretty little girls in your family, instead of 2! I've been thinking a lot about you and what great little girls you and your sister are and what a great family you have. I wish I lived closer so I could come and visit you and we could play. But for now, I like to write to you and let you know that I love you and think about you all the time. Have fun and I'll write again in a few days.
Love you sweet girl!
Vicki
By the way Tami...what a GREAT idea about giving three gifts at Christmas! I'm going to pass that along because it's so easy for the kids to get all involved in the commercialism of a very sacred day, and that seems like a great way to keep Jesus as the focus. God Bless you and all your family. DavidMcD – Kobe Japan – 01/08/09 7:28 AM Dear Wetmore family,
So often we see such tradgedy and sadness on the news it is easy to loose heart. When I saw the documentary about your family I was really touched.You have such a kind and loving family it is an inspiration to everyone. It is great to see some of the good in this world. Wishing you all the strength and support,Prayers and best wishes.

Lynn J. King – 01/08/09 1:03 AM You are an incredible family! You have opened your hearts to a little girl who otherwise might have had difficulty being placed with a loving family. Wishing Julilana a speedy recovery from this latest surgery! sheryl jokisch – texas – 01/07/09 10:47 PM I just got finished watching the television program about your story. While I was watching, all I could think about was my granddaughter who is two years old, and how much joy you must give your parents and other relatives who love you. You were a blessing to me as I watched your story, and I wished that I could just hug you through the television. You are lucky to have such amazing parents and sister. paul kerr – 01/07/09 10:11 AM Wishing you all a loving and peaceful 2009! Great news about the new addition :-))))

Amy Kathy Hall – Minooka, IL – 01/06/09 3:49 PM Happy New Year, Sweet Pea! You are so our little hero! Gramma Colleen says you are doing great...nothing can keep you down for long, can it? Having daddy home is grrrrrrrreaaaaaaaaaat, isn't it?!!! :) I know you and Keni (not to mention Mommy) were missin' him like crazy. It's nice for all of us out here to know he's back home again, too! I know it was a wonderful, extra-special Christmas for all of you. You just keep feeling better, Peanut and every day will be a good one...you'll be back in school with your friends and having fun. Lauren sends her love and so do Meg and Lindsey and Melly...tell Keni, too. We have something going out to you soon...as organized as I am it might make it to you by your birthday :). Give your Mommy a big hug and tell her we're so excited for her (we've been praying for a long time and it looks like her wish is finally coming true!)...and hug your daddy, too. We're so happy he's home with you all. We love you, Ana. Take care, Sweet Girl...be good and feel better. Love to Mom, Dad, Keni and Nurse Jeanne...

I want to wish you and your family the best for 2009.
I found a video on the internet and was amazed by your story.
You are by far the most courages girl I know.
I don't know if you believe in angels but I'm sure that several are watching over you and your family.
And if you are ever in need of something or you are feeling a little down, you only have to ask them for help and they will come to your aid. Tonight I will send lots of love and energy and light to you, my little angel Juliana. Because you deserve it.
Greeting, Els

It has gone by fast
Sheila :> Gail Zeolla – Redford, MI – 01/02/09 12:56 AM Oh Tami,,,little does this little girl know she is about to become a part of such a wonderful family. How old is she? How did you hear of her and choose her? I'm sure you have a great story behind that. I hope Juliana is feeling better from her surgery and will be back to school soon. I love your idea for Christmas gifts to the girls too, you continue to be such an inspiration to so many, I will never forget the first time I saw Juliana's story, I'm so thankful for this site and your time you give to let us know how she and the rest of the family are doing. Sounds like you had every square filled in your calendar last year! Hope you make time for yourself on some of those squares too, Happy New Year to all of you, and Nurse Jeanne, love, gail and tony MI Nancy Brimberry – Charlotte – 01/01/09 3:13 PM Yay!!! A new sibling!!! Can't wait for the day to see a picture of all 3 girls together! Blessings and congratulations. Millie Drolet – Mount Pleasant, South Carolina – 01/01/09 2:11 PM Happy New Year! May 2009 be filled with love, life, and much happiness for you and your family. Congratulations on the upcoming adoption of your little sister. I'm sure you and Kendra are very excited; now you both get to be the big sister! Rifat – Singapore, Singapore – 01/01/09 1:03 AM Hello, my name is Rifat Hidayat and I am 15 years old, and from Singapore. I am very touched by Juliana's story when i heard about it. I am really glad that she has the most faithful and caring family. I hope that Juliana will continue to be strong as she is loved by many. It is just past the new year so i would like to wish, on behalf of Singapore, to Juliana and the family, a very merry christmas and a wonderful new year.
Cheers,
Rifat Hidayat Lianne – Ohio – 01/01/09 12:03 AM OK, it's a minute late... but I wish that nobody in your family is in the hospital to battle a sickness, although you are all SO healthy!! I hope that your 2009 will be fun, exciting, happy and ofcourse fun with the sister that Juliana will be getting. I hope and know that the 365 days of you life that you are going to use are going to be the best of the best with the wishes that have come true and the hope and faith that will be going on later in the year. I hope that your family has a great 2009
Happy New Year!! Kathy – Toronto, Ontario, Canada – 12/31/08 10:46 PM First I'd like to say that I respect you both as parents for not ending the pregnancy of Juliana. At first people think: "What kind of life will she have?" when they see a baby born like this, but the parents and other family members can make a life for the child, where the child can be happy. Your photos show us that you are doing that. I think your daughters are both sweet and they are so cute in their little dresses and outfits (like Thing 1 and 2 Lol). They look happy together. I also know the gut-wrenching feelings you must have felt throughout this whole situation, when they first told you there was a problem, when she was born, when she needed the tube, and throughout all the surgeries. You are all so strong to endure but I too believe that we can't do it alone, we get strength from our Creator too. Thank you for sharing your website, I found it by seeing a video on YouTube about Juliana and then I searched her name. It is good that you are putting this on the web so people can be aware of Treacher Collins Syndrome. It is not something that's commonly known. I hope that your sweetheart is not in too much pain from her latest operation. Frannie – Texas – 12/31/08 11:34 AM Juliana, I hope you and your family had a great holiday!!
.elias. – Guadalajara, México – 12/31/08 1:06 AM Hi everybody, i would like to say that i´ve never felt this before in my life, so much love and humanity from all this people who have been part of juliana´s story. Juliana Wetmore is an angel, a lovely girl, im really far away from where she lives, i dont even speak the same lenguaje, but meeting his story, goals and future goals makes me want to send her a big hug and wish her the best for his succesfull life (cause it will be) i would also like to know for every advance or step that makes juliana get closer to her goals. i´ll be here for anything you need =) its an amazing web site for an amazing girl. good luck and read you soon.
.elias.
P.S. sorry about my english redactation im still working on it. =) Lianne – Ohio – 12/30/08 10:28 AM Juliana, I hope that you and your family had a wonderful Christmas.
I can't wait to "hear" another one of your mother's funny stories about you and Kendra. (Well they are only funny when Juliana is having a good time, or when she takes all of your time while you aren't in the hospital so that you can't update:-))
Hope All Is Well!! Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, NY – 12/30/08 4:27 AM Hey there my yummy little dumpling, how goes it? I hope you've had a good night and are feeling well today. I know you've had a tougher holiday than most , and will be up to your usual tricks in no time!!! I was so proud to "share" your beautiful voice to my mom on the phone. She loved hearing you sing. Thank you for that!!!Oh my sweet darling, I can't get enough of you! Give Kendra my love.
...please tell Mommy to watch Steel Magnolias already!!!!
oxoxo, Freaky Vicki Fitzpatrick – Orange, CA – 12/29/08 9:28 PM Hello again Juliana!
Just thought I'd send a smile along to you. I hope the New Year brings lots smiles and giggles from you and your family. Smile pretty girl—I love you!
Your friend,
Vicki Megan – England – 12/29/08 4:34 AM You are such a brave little girl! If I had the same problem as you have I would never be able to cope.
I hope you have a lovely childhood and grow up to be kind and intelligent.

Nancy Brimberry – Charlotte – 12/27/08 11:21 AM As the others have said, I was thrilled to find your website to see how much Juliana has progressed!! What a sweetheart! Thank you for allowing us to be a small part of your journey. It is a privilege. I pray your Christmas was blessed and that 2009 will be full of many more blessings. oxox Joyce Freire – Miami florida – 12/27/08 10:33 AM Hi
Merry Christmas Wetmore Family. I hope everyone is doing well. You are constanely in my thoughts. I hope the new year brings many blessings as you have blessed us over the years. Tami and Tom, you are my mentors as people, mom,dad and friends. I hope to hear from you on your next Miami Visit. Much love your friend Joyce Freire Shannon O. – Salem, OR – 12/27/08 1:02 AM Like lots of others signing your guestbook lately, I, too, watched the special about Juliana on Discovery Health. I immediately wanted an update, so I was very glad to find your website! You are absolutely amazing parents and I wish you two, Kendra, and especially Juliana all the best in the future!!! Crystal Williamson – Southern WV – 12/27/08 12:17 AM I just saw the special on the Discovery Channel and sought out for an update online and I'm SO glad to have found your website. Juliana is a Beautiful Girl and you are a beautiful family! I will remember to keep you all in our prayers. I am so glad to see the progress she has made since the special was recorded. Valerie S. – Arizona – 12/27/08 12:09 AM I also saw the special about Juliana today on the discovery channel. Thank you for having this site because I wondered after watching it how she is doing today (the info said 2005 I believe) and I see she doing well :) neidi – Corozal,Belize – 12/26/08 11:44 PM hi i saw your story on discovery channel i know you been through a lot, so u really touch my heart because i do have a baby girl that is one year old. I know now that we need to start appreciate life more these days julianana. therefore i wish u the best in life and keep on being that survivor of life and also take yourself as agift from God and compassion and testimony of God. My family will always keep you in mind and heart. warren – cary north carolina – 12/26/08 11:08 PM Hi Juliana your looking prettier every day keep up the good work. Lianne – Ohio – 12/26/08 9:34 PM Juliana, I hope that you and your family had a Fairy Merry Christmas. I read the RAINBOW MAGIC books and I think that you and Kendra might be interested. They are about fairies, and I do get mine from the UK since they are "ahead" in the series. They were the first publishers and the US kinda' followed. Your mother could get you the books from the US since you would be starting out, but when I had been reading the series in Australia, my mother thought it would be nice to not get "behind".
valerie vecchione – springfield, PA – 12/26/08 8:11 PM Merry day after Christmas, everyone! I hope Santa was good to you! Wishing you a Happy New Year!
p.s. Laurie and Nick say hi and Merry Christmas!

Your daughter is an amazing, wonderful kid. I looked at the pictures and got a big laugh out of the thing 1 and thing 2 shirts as that is what I call my two daughters.

(www.christianabohorquez.com) Cyndi Belcher – Liberty, NC – 12/23/08 7:56 PM Hi, My name is Cyndi and I wanted to say how inspirational your story and life is. I was sitting here with my 7 year old daughter Haley and she was watching the video with me about Juliana's beginning and her initial comment was what a cute little girl. I wanted to share that with you because that shows us how understanding young children can be compared to adults. Juliana is a beautiful little girl and hope to see her progress as she gets older. I have 5 children and feel so blessed to have them myself.
My family and I want to wish your family a wonderful blessed Merry Christmas.

Lianne – Ohio – 12/22/08 7:45 PM Tami, Juliana, Kendra, and Thom,
I hope that your family has a "Fairy Merry Christmas".
I have been reading a series since 2003-4 called "Rainbow Magic". I think Kendra and Juliana might like the series if they haven't read them yet. The author is "Daisy Meadows".
Kim – Fall River, MA – 12/22/08 11:56 AM Merry Christmas Wetmore's!
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and I especially hope that your New Year is full of blessings!
Juliana, I know that even though you are "sassy" as I've read in the guest book, but Santa knows that your heart is big and full of love, and no matter how sassy you are, you are a good girl. Hope you and Kendra get everything you wanted from Santa.
I got one of my wishes already, we had a huge snow storm over the weekend, so we'll have a white Christmas here in Massachusetts! Alan Darbe – Michigan – 12/22/08 11:53 AM Happy Holidays to the Wetmores!

Hi, my name is Ludwig Frankovski. I am a 24 years old free working artist. I make different creative works: electric music, paintings, drawings, portraits and much more (www.bilderbatzen.de). Athough i always try not to think "usually" and know familys, where also some kids are other, i cought myself at it, when i got to know you from "YouTube". That was yesterday. Now i admire you because of your courage and your love for each other. I really enjoyed your website and for me the most beautifull picture was the one from june 28, 2007.
My best wishes for the future and sorry if i made any mistakes. My English is also not so good. Maybe we will meet someday and i can make a picture for you.
Greetings, merry Christmas and a happy new year Ludwig valerie vecchione – Springfield, PA – 12/21/08 12:52 PM Hello!!

chiapas,México Francoise – France – 12/19/08 6:08 AM Hi Juliana!
I want to wish you and your family a very happy christmas with a lot of presents (I know that you don't love dolls or other teddies but there are many other presents for you).
You are a wonderful little girl and your family is wonderful too! Crystal – Walterboro South Carolina – 12/18/08 11:48 PM Dear Tami and Juliana,
I just want to say, thank God there are still some people out there that don't believe in abortion. Juliana is a very special little girl, and I am so pleased that such a child like her has such supportive parents. It is great to know that all people in this wicked world don't turnto abortion to solve their problems. I pray that God will richly bless you and your family and that He will give you the strength that you need to endure all that you have to go through. I am praying for you all. Tiffany Hakimianpour – California – 12/17/08 2:02 AM Dear amazing Juliana and her amazing family,
Juliana, I hope you read this or your mother reads this to you because I want you to know just how special you are. Ever since we watched your documentary in class, you have changed my scope on life to say the very least. You have it more difficult than all of us, and yet handle your life exceptionally. Your family is so helpful, loving and supportive of you that it brings tears to my eyes. You can do anything in life and without a doubt, succeed. Your strength is one of a kind, and as I am doing my applications for college and browsing through your picture gallery, I am seeing how incredible of a person you are becoming.
I also hope that any future surgeries you choose to undertake will be less complex because of all the amazing advances in science, medicine and technology! I always say that G-d made us the way we are for a reason, and if He thought we couldn’t handle it, He wouldn’t have created us in that way.
You are SO adorable!
All my love and joy for the holiday season!
Tiffany Hakimianpour Drew – Union, South Carolina – 12/16/08 6:09 PM Hey Juliana im Drew, well I found out about you when I was looking for the cri-du-chat sydrom on youtube and I found your video. God must have showed me it for a reason I just wanted to let you know im praying for you and you are one BRAVE girl I know if I was in your shoes I would never be as brave as you are wish you all the luck. Drew Jay Conrad – Surprise Arizona – 12/16/08 5:23 PM I have been thinking about you, wondering how you are? I wrote to you a couple of years ago. I'm so glad to see that you are still such an inspiration to everyone, and looks like you're taking ballet lessons...how wonderful! You are such an inspiration to me. Have a wonderful Christmas. Jay Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, NY – 12/16/08 1:21 PM Good afternoon my delicious little gumdrop!! You're such a sassy little kid that I can never wait for updates about your mischief. Mommy always LUUUVS to tell me that Elias has "infected" you with the sneakies and to keep him away from you. HA!!!! Naturally, I always inform her that once you've got the sneakies...it's TOO LATE!!!! Anyways—I'm pretty sure you had a tough case of the sneakies when you and Spanky met, so I'm sure I don't know what she's talkin' about. Now—be a good girl and go hide Mommy's phone or something sneaky like that.
toodles!
Yvette
hmmm...did you both get the sneakies from me? WHO KNOWS?!?! get her keys too. Sharona Mossazadeh – Beverly Hills, California – 12/16/08 3:57 AM Dear Juliana,
You are such a brave girl! I am very proud of you and hope that you will hang in there. You have a great family who loves and cares for you very much! After I watched a documentary about your difficult life, I truly felt inspired that a strong girl like you could get so far. I can see that you are improving very much in the last couple of surgeries and you’re looking even prettier day after day! I know that your treatments and surgeries are very difficult, but think about how much more beautiful you will become. Soon all this stress will be over and you can continue living your joyful life!
If you are ever in Beverly Hills, please let me know and I would be glad to give you a tour of our city!
Happy Holidays!
Love,
Sharona Mossazadeh
P.S. – I was looking at your gorgeous pictures and enjoyed seeing you happy in all of them! I really liked your Halloween costume with your sister! Thing 1 and Thing 2…how clever!
:D

Ronit Kumar – Beverly Hills – 12/15/08 10:26 AM Dear Juliana
After hearing about your story I was filled with many reactions. I was glad to hear that the condition you had was not life threatening. I'm amazed at how far the doctors have come and what they have been able to do for you. I sincerely hope that in the future life will turn out to be easier. I fish you and your parents the best of luck.
- Ronit Kumar Benjamin Phillips – Beverly Hills, CA – 12/15/08 10:18 AM Dear Juliana and family,
Your story has inspired me and I'm sure many more across the world. The happiness I saw in your day to day actions almost brought me to tears. You are so strong to go through all these numerous treatments and surgeries, and look at all the progress you've made. The progress you have made is incredible and may have seemed impossible at your birth, but it is working. Also, realize how incredible your family is. Your parents are some of the best parents I've ever seen, they are so proud of you and you deserve it. Your sister is just as amazing. Make sure you love them with everything you can. Also, the doctors taking care of you are some of the best in the world so make sure they know it! You're story is amazing! I wish the best for you and your family! Thank you Tom for your service to our country! I hope you return home safely soon!
Have a wonderful holiday!
Benjamin Phillips =) Ethan Gabbay – Beverly Hills – 12/15/08 3:12 AM Dear Juliana,
I am sure that you must be proud of yourself for being so strong and getting through all of these surgeries so well. I can tell that you are very lucky to have such great parents and so many people who care about you.
Scientists and doctors are making so many advances that I am sure that sooner than you think you will be finished with these difficult surgeries and you can spend more time having fun like most other children your age.
Even though it isn't fair that you have to go through all of this, I appreciate how you and your family are sharing your experience with the world.
I have learned a lot from this website and I wish you and your family very happy holidays. Emmanuelle Hodara – Beverly Hills, CA – 12/15/08 12:44 AM Dear Tami,
Your story is incredible. I am absolutely amazed at everything you and your husband have done for your daughter. You are truly fantastic parents. Your story is inspiring and it has made a great impact on my life. For the first time, I realized how lucky I am to be a healthy individual. I am able to value what I have always taken for granted such as the simple abilities to eat and breath freely.
I am thrilled about the progress Juliana has made ever since she was born and understand how much courage it took from both your part and hers to make it to this point. I hope everything will continue to stay so positive and I will be following up on your story. :)
Much Love and Happy Holidays,
Emmanuelle
David Wang – Beverly Hills, CA – 12/14/08 6:22 PM Dear Tami:
I was truly inspired by your story. When I saw the documentary of your family, I saw how strong you and your family are. I know that your family is facing a very difficult situation in your lives, but as time goes on, I KNOW that everything will get better. No matter how much the struggle a family is facing, if the love that binds the family is very tight and strong, any struggle can be tackled. The road that lies ahead of your family is a very bright one. No matter what Juliana's appearance is, everyone in the world loves her for who she is. Everyone knows the struggle your family is facing and that your family is very strong!! Just keep walking that bright road and stay strong!!
Yours truly,
David Wang
P.S. My little sister says "hi!" to Juliana!!
Erica Hendry – 12/14/08 4:10 PM Dear Tammy,

Joseph Martin – Los Angeles, CA – 12/14/08 2:11 PM Juliana!
Yours is a truly inspirational story. I watched the documentary of yours and was very, very touched by how well you are doing.
I know it's been about two years since then and I am bowled over by how much you've accomplished! Keep up the great work! It's great to know how much you are doing (you have a great gallery!), so be strong and smiling!
Dear Tami,
I was very touched by your daughter's accomplishments. What i thought was another biology journal turned into a very heartwarming story that did much to change my view of life and people.
Thank you and good luck to you, your family and Juliana.
I will continue to keep up with Juliana's story.
Good Luck!

God is so big that he uses his angels from earth to show his glory, you are one of those angels and your purpose is to take his wonders to all nations in the world. Thank God for your life.

Chrissy Lila Elias – Oakland, California – 12/12/08 2:40 AM Dear Juliana,
You are an amazing little girl and very adorable. You look very cute in all of your pictures and it's lovely to see that you seem to be having lots of fun out and about. I would just like for you to know that you are being sent lots of good wishes from us over here in California and that you are very loved. I hear that you like the Little Mermaid, I think that is one of my favorite Disney Princess movies, but you dear, are the true princess.
Lots of love,
Lila Nathalia – Brasil – 12/11/08 5:39 PM Ao ver as fotos de Juliana fiquei muito comovida!Acredito na real possibilidade de toda pessoa que nasce com uma condição biológica diferente da nossa, se desenvolver dentro dos padrões esperados pela sociedade e que vale a pena apostar no amor e na dedicação. Patricia Mack – Lake Worth, Florida – 12/11/08 2:33 PM Thank you for your website. I check in periodically and read your updates. I love to hear of Juliana's accomplishments and see the updated pictures of your family and how fast they are growing.
My son is 4 and he now sits on lap and we talk about Juliana and how beautiful she is and I answer questions he has about her and her surgeries. He reminds me "we need to pray for her tonight."
Thank you for keeping your site so updated. Such a young girl to be so loved, cared for, and prayed for by so many people. Thanks you. Scott – East Tennessee Mountains – 12/09/08 9:29 PM My family and I stumbled upon your story via randomly surfing the web.
As the parents of 7 awesome blessings from Heaven, we stand in awe at the path that has been chosen for you. In an age/society where so little value is given to human life, we (collectively, as a family) wanted to say "Thank You" for choosing life on Juliana's behalf. You are amazing people, and it's been an honor to be given the privilege to have a small glimpse of your family.
Is Juliana an only child, or do you have other children as well?
Merry Christmas,
Scott & Leisa Rogers Julie – 12/09/08 8:57 PM Dear Juliana and Family,
I would love to start out by saying how inspirational your story is to me. For an AP Biology class we studied genetic disorders, and the disorder that I was able to research was Treacher Collins syndrome. I was shocked that this disorder affected so many people in so many ways, and I had never even heard of it. You are a beautiful girl and know that everything that your going through will only make you a stronger person. Thank you for sharing your story with the world and God bless you and your family.
Sincerely,
Julie
Bobbye Wood – CINCINNATI, OHIO – 12/09/08 5:06 PM Dear Tami & pretty girls—
My Mom has followed your story from the beginning, and I seem to recall that she has spoken to you on the phone at least once, Tami. Her name is Betty Jauch, and I have a brother, Rich, who has grown up with moderate TC. Of course, the entire family has grown up with TC, because it is all of our responsibility to educate others how important it is to know that all kids are just beautiful kids, no matter how they may look or communicate.
My brother has a little girl now, Brionna, who is 5 years old, and she has very mild TC.
I have some sad news to report, Tami -
our Mom passed away November 25, 2008. She had emphysema, and the disease plus the side effects of the meds finally took her life. I know she followed your family's stories and shared whatever insights she has gleaned over the years. And I hope she shared her wild sense of humor!
You know the most important one—a TC child has the same chances of success as any child who doesn't happen to live with TC.
I'll be checking in regularly—Keep up the great website!
Bobbye Wood, Cincinnati
Kristi Morris – Abilene, TX – 12/09/08 11:14 AM I love the latest picture! The family shot is awesome!!! Thank you again for sharing. I hope you guys are doing wonderfully. Sending lots of love to your home :)

gabby – ny,ny – 12/05/08 7:08 PM Hello Juliana!, how are growing up so fast? I was wondering how you were doing after this recent surgery? You sure are a brave soul and a beautiful young lady! I wish you and your family the best and dont go too hard on your sister you sassy little lady.
P.S. Could you put up some post surgery pictures of what Dr. Wolfe has done recently? I am a Pediatric Surgery Major and am very interested in your case.
Thank you very much Merry X-Mas, God bless, and lots of love from Gabby in NY! Dean Orman – San Diego, CA – 12/05/08 4:41 PM Hello Wetmores (and Nurse Jeanne)!

Tammy, I know that Thom coming home will help out with all the work involved with the two powerhouses you have. Please know we appreciate the sacrifice all of you make when the Navy wants him somewhere else.

Helene – Vienna, Austria – 12/04/08 5:17 PM Hello Juliana!
You are a really special girl! I come from a very small country in the heart of Europe. Arnold Schwarzenegger is born here. You have something in common with him. You are as strong and brave as he is. I've had 2 surgeries because I have very thin bones, they crack very easily. I know, what it's like to have an operation. At first it hurts. But it is such a good feeling when you start to learn new things with your new body. So, if you have pain, then think about Arnold Schwarzenegger. And remember, that you are a famous heroine and much stronger than he is. So keep it up! A strong believe in your own power can increase the healing process. Sorry about my language. I'm sure it is full of mistakes, but my mother tongue is German, you know. Anyway, from now on, you have a new fan who believes in you! Gail Zeolla – Redford MI – 12/04/08 2:31 AM Hi Tami, I just watched the video of the song "Don't you know your beautiful" and of course thought of your Juliana. I'm so sorry she is in such discomfort, you have all been through so much, I sure hope and pray this works for you. I can't wait to hear your news, could another one be on the way? :) I'm so glad Thom will be home tomorrow, and pray Juliana heals quickly and perfectly and you all have a blessed holiday season with many blessings to come. Love and always thinking of you and holding you all in our hearts and prayers, hi to everyone, gail and tony J. King – 12/02/08 9:05 PM Wow, your husband is coming home from his deployment on Thursday!!!! How great for you and your girls! Looking forward to hearing your big news! Alvin Phair – Northern Ireland – 12/02/08 6:25 PM Hi all Wetmore clan!
Big thanks for the recent updates Nurse Jeanne and Tami, always great to hear that Julianna's operations are a success.
Whats this exciting news that you have to tell us Tami!! Would it have anything to do with the little girl from the Ukraine!
I have been watching the First Coast News stories on their website and I was amazed at their recent update, but not surprised, there is so much love and strength in your Family, I suppose it was only a matter of time before it reached out to others.
All our love, Alvin & Family x0x0x0x Blaskó Veronika – Budapest – 12/02/08 11:38 AM Hello Juliana and the Wetmore Family!!!

Your freaky godmother, Yvette Linda Horner – Madeira Beach Florida – 11/25/08 1:21 AM Juliana,
I have been checking your website from time to time and you Mom and nurse Jeanne have been giving updates on your progress and surgery updates. From what your Mom and nurse Jeanne say your most recent surgery had a slight bump in the road with a correction being done after the the main surgery. According to nurse Jeanne(Novemenr 11 or 12 posting) and your Mom that was necessary and you are feeling much better. Keep up the good work!
Dr. Wolf and his team are certainly being guided by God's hands in their work on you and the many other childen they help.
I am looking forward to future shows showing your progress. Khalid and Maha – Bahrain – 11/24/08 6:21 PM Heey Juliana!
We cant believe how cute you are! We fell in love with you the moment we saw your pics

Hope you are recovering well! I joined this site so I could give you some advice... when I was younger, I had a balloon put into my leg, also. (I know yours is in your arm). The saline injections got pretty routine after a while, so you shouldn't worry. Nothing a lollipop couldn't fix!
Julia Suzanne Henrich – Coon Rapids, MN – 11/21/08 12:56 AM Hi, Juliana! I finally decided to register with your website so I can send you messages!

Kristi Jenni Stone – Moody AFB, Ga – 11/13/08 10:33 AM Glad to hear that everything went well. We look forward to seeing new pictures.
God Bless,
Jenni and Autumn Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, NY – 11/13/08 9:39 AM Hello my delicious little cupcake. You're going through so much right now and I wish that I could be there with you. I was just thinking about you getting your hearing implants during your next surgery. Mommy expained that the way it works is that you won't need your "headband" anymore. They'll just attach to your little ears. Hmmm...that means that you'll be able to just slip them off as if they were jewelry, right? All by your OWN self? I can't wait to hear about how you just "tune" people (Mommy & Nurse Jeanne) out by just taking off your "ears" when you're not interested in the conversation.
"WHAT!?!?" "COME AGAIN!?!"
"BEG YOUR PARDON!?!?"
"DID YOU SAY SOMETHING!?!?" "OOPSIES!! I GUESS I TOOK MY EARS OFF BY MY OWN SELF, SO YOUR MOUTH IS MOVING, BUT ALL I HEAR IS...'wuh wah wuh,wah' (Charlie Brown's teacher talk)". Oh, I can just see it—you going right on reading a book or something and seeing them waving at you. Then, you point to your head and shrug those cherubic little shoulders of yours. You ROCK my world so much, I can't stand it.
...don't be shaking your little finger at me (Tami)!!!

Your freaky godmother, Yvette Georgia Marler – missouri – 11/10/08 7:15 PM I have been looking for updates. She and the family are in my prayers. This beautiful little girl has really inspired me and is a blessing to read about her progress. Thanks mason – DePere, wisconsin – 11/09/08 9:19 AM Hello, Wetmore family!
Juliana has made a lot of progress since she was a baby. shes blossoming into quite the delicate little flower. Michael – Muenster, Germany – 11/08/08 7:47 PM Hello!! We just found out about your story and we were really touched by it. We wish you the best.
Many kisses
Michael & Dialekti Amber Lee – Bay Area – 11/08/08 5:12 AM Hello Wetmore Family!!
My name is Amber and I am blessed you have shared Juliana's story with others and everyone is able to see the blessing God puts in our lives.
I happen to see Juliana's story on Discovery awhile back and hadn't seen any updates till now, and I am happy you all have a website. I have a niece and a cousin with genetic disorders; my beautiful niece Myla has Down Syndrome and my little angel cousin xoaquin has Monosomy 18p Syndrome. I have really seen these "genetic defects" —not my words—as miracles, a great blessing to our lives. I hear too many ill informed people not understand the gifts we have received with not just "our" special babies but with every child. I am in awe with your families strength and love and Juliana's beauty. Our family has gotten through hard times with God by our sides and just unconditional love and patients.
God Bless!
And prayers will be with your family for her next surgery! Kelli J. – Grand Rapids, Michigan – 11/07/08 11:33 PM Juliana's story is that of a true fighter and she should know she is an inspiration. I will remember to pray for her as well as your family. God bless! Alan Darbe – Michigan – 11/05/08 4:42 PM I hope that things are going well for you and your family. I hope you will find time to let us all know how you are doing.
Love and Prayers,
Alan Scott Sobie – Ukraine – 11/05/08 1:29 PM Dear Juliana and family,
Greetings from Ukraine! We are a missionary family here and we have five children who are eight years old and younger. Juliana is their HERO and they talk about her as their friend, pray for her, admire her, and ask, "Papa, Mama, when will we get to meet her and play with her?" We are so excited about the wonderful plan that the Lord has for her life! Thanks for letting us be a part! And if you're ever passing through Ukraine... :-)
God bless you! We love you, Juliana! Love, Scott and Oksana and David, Dasha, Diana, Dalina, and Damara Angela – Wilmington, DE – 11/05/08 12:42 PM Hello Juliana!! I'm so excited to have found an official website where I can keep tabs on your progress!! I saw you on t.v. only once and I fell in love with your personality!!! I'm glad to see that you are enjoying life and living it up to the fullest!! You are a beautiful person and we love you here in Delaware!!! Jessica Miller – Pennsylvania – 11/04/08 11:56 PM Hi Julianna and Family . Ive been following your story for a long time. Me and my family are so proud of all your accomplishments. Your a very special beautiful girl . You remind me so much of my daughter kirstyn shes 10, whos also been through alot of facial surgeries. Keep smiling. We'll be thinking of you chloe moore – middleburg fl – 11/04/08 8:29 AM hey julianna , we just wanted to tell you that we are so glad you are in our lives an that we will always be your friend as long as you need one. may god be with you on your next surgery an we will be praying that all goes well!! love chloe an kendall christine feldmann – New Jersey, Rumson 07760 – 11/03/08 7:34 PM It is wonderful to know that Juliana is doing well. I hope that she continues to grow and flourish to a beautiful young woman.
Yours Truly,
The Feldmann Family Mishi – Seville, Spain – 11/03/08 3:48 AM Juliana I know you're possibly very young to read this but I hope Mom or Dad do. I just wanted to stop by to tell you that I'm absolutely touched by your story. I sort of know what you're going through, I was born with a facial "anomaly" too. In my case it's just a cleft palate and lip (and I thought it was a big deal, ha!). I found your case looking for information about my condition and felt so touched after reading your story!
May God give you the strength to go through all of the remaining surgical procedures, mine are over, or so I decided. I just had some 12 surgeries during my childhood years and a couple more in my teens. I know you have more surgeries in your future calendars so be very strong and have faith in what your doctors and caring parents are deciding for you.
And NEVER pay attention to what the others say, specially kids...
I'm so glad I could know more about you thanks to this site... I thought you were younger! taking a look at your ballet pictures and the rest of your online photo album makes me so happy!
You're a wonderful, beautiful and feisty little girl!
Have faith in the future, never loose it, we never know what it might bring to our lives ;D
Lots of love, good luck, and hugs from Spain!
(and sorry for my terrible English!) Kristi Morris – Abilene, TX – 11/02/08 12:27 PM Superhero Juliana-I hope you are kickin' some butt down there in Miami!! :) I am thinking about you and sending lots of love and strength your way baby!
Sincerely-
Kristi Lianne – Ohio – 11/01/08 7:28 PM Hi Wetmore Family,
I am so glad to hear that you guys are atleast fine, although I can't wait to hear from Tami.
I hope that Juliana's surgeries and doctor appointments are going "Smoothly" and that things are looking on the "good" side
November 1st, 2008 7:28 PM EST Blaskó Veronika – Hungary-Budapest – 10/31/08 4:34 AM Dear Wetmore Family,
My name is Veronika (24 years old) and I am from Hungary. When I saw this website I was amazed!:-) Juliana is very brave and I wish her all the best!!!! You, as the parents, are wonderful, and it is soooooo good how you support your wonderful little baby! If I can help you in something, just please let me know!!!! I will read this site as often as I can! :-) Karen Victoria Davenport – New York City – 10/30/08 8:39 PM Hi Juliana & Co.!
I am so happy to get just a little update!!! I hope you all are doing really well. I love you as always and think fondly of you. May God Bless You all.
It is cold here already. I miss the balmy summer!
Love & Kisses,
Karen Victoria Sarah-Anne Turner – A small town in South Carolina – 10/29/08 8:47 PM Hello Wetmore family! I'm an 11th grader and currently have biology class where my teacher told us of Juliana's story. After reading a couple of news articles from at least two years ago I wanted to know more about Juliana. What can I say? Wow! Juliana is an amazing little girl and such an inspiration! She definitely has a way of making you step back and think "My problems aren't so bad after all." I've only read a few of the blog entries and glanced through the picture, but she really is an amazing and adorable girl, and she has the best parents any child could ask for! I plan on checking the site regularly now to stay updated on Juliana and I will keep all of the family in my prayers! Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, NY – 10/28/08 9:51 PM Hey there sassy pants!! Our (only) computer has been HOGGED by the ninja monkeys so much lately that I haven't been visiting here as much as usual. You're always in my heart and on my mind of course. We miss you terribly and can't wait to hang with you & Keni. I need new pictures of you with the freaky brothers & sisters. Well, gotta go now—my voice is tired of yelling "GO TO BED!!!" I need to go upstairs and do my best Mommy Dearest!!!!!!Yeah right—I'll probably fall asleep before they do.
Nighty night and "GO TO BED!!" to you too!!!
I uu oo, Yvette Kathy Hall – Minooka, IL – 10/28/08 8:35 AM Hi, Sweet Girl...just want you to know we're thinking of you and will have you firmly (but gently :) in our prayers, as always, as you and mommy head out to Miami next week. We love you, Ana! God is with you, brave girl, and with mommy and daddy and Kendra...and before you know it, Papa and Nana will be there with you, too, and it will be Thanksgiving!
Love and God's blessings on all of the Wetmores...and Nurse Jeanne, too...our prayers are with you.
Kathy and Maynard
Pete, Erica, Meghan, Lindsey, Lauren and Melanie Kristi Morris – abilene, tx – 10/27/08 2:41 PM Just thinking about you guys :) i hope everyone is doing well.
Lots love-
Kristi Carla Haines – Denver, Colorado – 10/25/08 10:52 PM Hello Juliana! I have thought about you and your mommy and daddy so many times after seeing your story on tv. Also, a few years ago, we met you briefly at Disney World. Your mommy and daddy were taking you back to the hotel as you had had quite a long and exciting day. You came to my mind tonight as I was browsing the internet for a birthday gift for my granddaughter. She will be 4 November 12. Her name is Kaylie. I wanted something special for her as she is hearing impaired. She also has Treacher Collins Syndrome. She is so special just like you! She also has a sister. Delaney is 6. Kaylie loves animals! She loves to sing and dance. She just started school and is really learning to sign! Just like you, her Papa and I believe that she is a true gift from God! She will be having surgery on November 7 to place the screws in her head for her hearing aid. So she will have an early birthday party on Sunday. My family sends its' love and prayers to you and your family!
Kaylie's Grandma Rick Doctrow – San Francisco – 10/25/08 12:25 PM I hope Juliana and the entire Wetmore Family is doing well. I get nervous when there are long periods between updates.
I think of Juliana every time I hear about the Phillies so I've been thinking about her a lot during the World Series. I would love to see her throw out the first pitch at one of the Florida games! Michelle Smith – Phippsburg Maine – 10/24/08 4:47 PM Hey girls!! I have'nt heard from mommy in a while, so that makes me think you are keeping her very busy. I think of you all and hope you are safe and healthy. Hope to talk to you soon. Love Auntie Chell kate kenner – Cincinnati, OH – 10/24/08 12:12 AM What a doll!!! Checking your website is the highlight of my week! Juliana is a ray of sunshine...a breath of fresh air! Hope you all have a wonderful week! Karen Lochte – California – 10/20/08 9:55 PM Go Phillies! And go, Juliana! I'm so proud of all you and your sister are doing. Connie Morrisroe – 10/20/08 1:22 PM Wow, I am so happy to see that Juliana is doing so well. I've seen both her specials on the Discovery Health Channel and I am awed by her resiliency and spirit, although I can't say I'm surprised. I have a child with special needs also, who was born with VACTERLS Association and had lots of surgeries to correct various organ, spine and limb malformations. The children cope in a way that puts us adults to shame.
Sending a hug from one special needs mom to another, and prayers for Juliana's continued health and a successful outcome for her upcoming surgery :) Shannon – Ozark, MO – 10/20/08 11:45 AM Hello to Kendra & Juliana: Wow, what a great website you and your family have. It's so nice of you two to share so much of your lives with the rest of us. I was so nice to read about how much the four of you love each other. I have a daughter of my own and I'm sure she would love to have an amazing big sister like Kendra or a fun little sister like Juliana. You two are not only beautiful, brave, smart, silly, talented girls, you are children of God. What a blessing you are to your parents. Just by reading what your mommy writes EVERYONE can see how proud she is of her two girls and how much love she and your daddy have for you both. Thanks again for sharing your lives with us. Oh, and cute hair cut Kendra (sleeping beauties photo) and what a beautiful ballerina you make Juliana! God bless you both, and your mommy and daddy. C M P – Cheektowaga (Buffalo) N.Y. – 10/20/08 11:35 AM Dear Sweet Juliana—You don't know me, of course, but I have been following your story for a long time. I have a little granddaughter named Hannah who is very ill, and in both of you, your spirit, heart, and Soul shines through. You are beautiful and will always be in my prayers.
Connie Paoletti
Karen Victoria Davenport – New York City – 10/19/08 8:35 PM Hello there, Sweetness,
Just a quick hello. I hope you are doing very well and that school is fun. And that you are enjoying dancing and all the other activities, too.
Hello to your clan.
Love & Kisses,
Karen Victoria jack phillion – Shelby Twp., MI – 10/18/08 9:25 AM Juliana and Family -
We haven't written in a while as we have been busy getting our girls off to school (one to college and one into the 4th grade), etc. although we have been frequently visiting this site to see updates and how things are progressing. All appears well and we wish all of you continued strength throughout the surgeries and forthcoming challenges. The girls are both truly gifts brought from God—as is your families love, strength, dedication and determination for each other. Your story is so inspiring to others—your such a bright spot!! Take care and we wish all the best. God Bless to you -
Love -
Jack, Tracy, Kristen & Alexi Kathy Hall – Minooka – 10/17/08 12:23 PM Hey, my little Sweet Pea! How are ya, Darlin'? Gosh, I miss you so much!!! And I miss your sweet Mommy, too...and Keni. :) Last night I was sitting at the kitchen table between your buddy Lauren and Baby Mel (who's not such a "baby" anymore...after all, she's 2 now! :), and they were showing me "signs" for Grampa and Gramma and Mommy and Daddy and all sorts of other things and I told them they were going to be able to talk to Ana really well next time they saw her! I need to get practicing! They go too fast for me...:(
Well, Sweet Girl, just wanted to stop in and say, "hi"...Nana keeps me updated...she says you are quite the TV Star! :) I bet you are!!! I love you, Ana...tell Mommy, Daddy (when you talk to him :), and Keni, and Nurse Jeanne all hello for all of us here in Minooka...WE LOVE YOU and think of you every day! Be good! :)

Pete, Erica, Meg, Lindsey, and Melly Gail Zeolla – Redford, MI – 10/16/08 7:46 PM Hi Tami—just checking to see if everything was ok with Juliana today. Tony and I were having our coffee this morning and I told him that Juliana had a tissue expander in her shoulder with her surgery she recently had and he was kind of taken back and asked me what made me think of her right then, and I told him, I was just thinking of her and had a tissue expander with my mastectomy reconstruction and I just couldn't believe she had one in her back, I asked him why he was so surprised I told him that because we think of you all so much, and he said, "it was just so weird because I woke up and she popped into my mind and I was wondering how she was doing before I even woke up the whole way and then you brought her up!" So, we prayed for God to be watching over her this morning" it was kind of strange so just wanted to see if everything is going ok, and let you know we sure do care about all of you and think of you more than you know, love and hope Thom and Kendra and Nurse Jeannie are all doing well too, gail and tony, redford, MI Lisa LeCours – myrtle beach, sc – 10/15/08 9:09 PM I can't wait to hear you latest update. I check on your web site almost everyday. I look forward to hearing your latest accomplishments. I can't get over how brave you are. Take care and good luck in school.

You will need to be very strong every day of your life to face the future, but i can see you have a wonderful loving family and friends that care for you. be happy and enjoy life and the most important thing people are more than a pretty face! your beauty is inside.
a lot of kisses! carolina Jocelyn A. Sulit – Philippines – 10/15/08 11:12 AM BTW, I'm an Occupational Therapist working in Singapore as Behavioral Therapist... and I just love being with the kids! I was really touched by your story! You are such a lucky girl, and must be proud to have a loving family.
I love you, happy Juliana!
Teacher Joy :-) Jocelyn A. Sulit – Philippines – 10/15/08 11:06 AM God is so good and very timely! I was having this feeling of so much insecurities in life, I didn't go to work today as I was so down. But God brought me to your site and just seeing your photos, I can say that you have a happy heart. You are young but you're such an INSPIRATION! paul kerr – Holland – 10/15/08 9:22 AM Hi there Juliana.
I'm just dropping in to see how things are going with you. I hope all is well. I hope also that you're enjoying and doing well in school. You keep that up!
All of you take good care.
Love,
Paul Angela Argueta – NAS Jacksonville – 10/14/08 10:28 AM I saw you guys in the naval hospital on Friday of last week. My middle daughter was scared of Juliana. I felt bad because she reacted in a bad way towards Juliana. I hope this did not make her feel bad. I came home and did some research on Juliana to find out why she looked the way she does. I had heard about her, but did not know much. I do daycare and one of my parents mentioned her to me. I wanted to be able to explain to my kids why she looks the way she does.
I also had a question about how Juliana copes with being so special. Does she get sad or upset when people react like my daughter did? I applaud you for doing all you do for your daughter. It takes a really strong family to do the things you guys do for her. She looks adorable and really sweet. My daughters want to know when her birthday is. They wanted to know if they could give her a present. My middle daughters birthday is this month, so birthdays are on their minds.
Thanks,
Angela Maggie – Middleburg – 10/14/08 7:29 AM Hey Pretty Girl!!
I haven't written for a while, however, it doesn't mean that I haven't kept up on you and checking out your web site. You are still my favorite little girl outside of my family! I hope everything is going well for you and Kendra. I know you guys must be extremely busy with all the sports and dancing you girls do. Does Mommy still have time to take her sign language classes?? I am sure you are helping her with that.
Take care Pretty Girl,
Ms. Maggie AR – Bangkok, Thailand – 10/13/08 2:09 AM Hi Juliana and your beautiful family, I watched your story on local cable TV in Bangkok. I'm so very admire your family for everything you do for Juliana. You are strong family. I'm so appreciate on Kendra for her kindness and support to her sister. This story let me know how the power of love can help you to pass and progress this. Jing Rakboonyuang – Bangkok, Thailand – 10/12/08 12:36 PM Dear Juliana and family...
I just saw your story today (14 September 2008 ) and her adventure and all family is touch my heart...and make me tear... I must open my PC and seach about her...I wanna know how is she now and I found this site :) I can't imagine how hard of everyone in the family must face...but I think it must very hard time. I agree with ur word "God had a bigger plan for Juliana". Her life can inspired many people.
and for Kendra... she is a great sister...The way she talk and the way her treat her sister is touch my heart... and I believe that she is Juliana's guardian angel :) Pls tell her...she is my little hero ;)
Strong, Brave, Love and Faith are the words that I think about your Family. :D
I'll pray for little Juliana and everyone in the family...
GOD bless all of you,
JING
Manida – Bangkok, Thailand – 10/12/08 7:06 AM Hi Juliana and lovely family, i'm Thai person who just happened to see your story. It was touching. I'm happy for Juliana that she has the best family. :)
paige thomas – hilliard ,ohio – 10/11/08 10:29 PM we just want to send you all our love and support, from the cooper / thomas family
steve, paige, stevie ann ,sarah and layne Mariana Buzzato – São Paulo, Brazil – 10/11/08 8:37 PM It took a "little" time to this history come to Brazil, ppl started to see Juliana in august and I saw Juliana just yesterday, and I felt really sensitive about it. I'm pretty sure if I could, I would help you at anyway, but, I'm only sixteen.
I can tell you something, she born to be ALIVE!
Some people say bad thing about it, but I'm not agree with it...
You guys have nothing with it, but, I'll tell you something, my boyfriend's mother tried to abort him more than three times, and he's here, alive like never, 24 years old.
It's not the case of Juliana, but, it's just to you understand that, like my bf, Juliana is a gift from God!
To show for this people that they're happy as they are, and still have people saying that their own life's are a big s***!
Juliana is the sweetest thing that I've ever seen, is true, i'm pretty sure she have such a big heart, and she's here to show people, specially at times like these, that beauty is not everything!
Thanks for the attention :)
P.S.: I really wish to keep a contact with you guys Rebekah D. Needham – California – 10/11/08 3:35 AM Hi..I have signed your guest book before..I am praying for Julianna and Kendra to get along well again..it was so touching when they got along so well..Julianna, you appreciate that big sister of yours...she is very sweet..but Kendra, try not to be too bossy either..little sisters don't like that.
Tami, I know you are very busy, but I would love an update soon....can you believe it's October already?
What are Kendra and Julianna's middle names? Alex Santiago – San Juan, Puerto Rico – 10/11/08 12:55 AM Juliana is so lucky to have you as her family. I have two daughters of the same age as Juliana and her sister and seen the pictures of Juliana and her sister I can see THE LOVE in her sisters smile and eyes when they are together. That’s the same love I see in my older daughter when she looks at her sister.
You are blessed with love. Not only Juliana is an angel from heaven but her sister too.
A big hug for you all, from a friend in Puerto Rico.
Alex Santiago
Gail Zeolla – Redford, MI – 10/08/08 4:27 PM Hi there Tami and all! I've been thinking about you all so much and was reading about Juliana's surgery and the vocal piece she can use now. I hope her surgery is healing well, and everything is coming together for her real well, and will be back in school soon. Just wanted to keep in touch and tell you, you are all in our prayers always, hope everyone is doing well, and that's really cool that Tom can talk to you and the kids via skype, that is really neat, the first I ever heard of that was on Oprah's book club, so happy you have that, love to everyone, gail and tony, redford MI mary – Gladwin,Michigan – 10/08/08 11:43 AM Like many others, I discovered you on D.Health. I was amazed at your family, the strength, and the wonderful little girls you have. The story doesn't tell the entire picture, I decided to find you online, and this website is beautiful! Every life is a gift. And Juliana is a precious gift put here by God,perhaps to help doctors learn about Treacher Collins,and with her strong spirit, I think God placed her with the best parents on this Earth.I must commend the navy for taking the expenses and also I loved reading about the sibling rivalry!! She is growing up!I dont know if you realize what truly amazing parents you are, and Kendra is a fabulous big sister. I can't compliment you enough, and will check in from time to time...to see how she is doing.Thank you for allowing me to comment, and I will keep you all in my prayers.Many Bessings to a very wonderful family, Mary Tara Johnson – Maine – 10/07/08 1:37 PM Hello, Beautiful Girl! They aired your program again the other day, and it reminded me to log on here and see how you have changed. I can not believe how far you have come!!! My two little girls, who are 10 and 5, LOVED seeing what a brave girl you are, and I hope they learned something about getting along with each other from you and Kendra!!! ;-)
We continue to keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers, keep up the good work, Sweetie!!! Erica Noble – London, England – 10/07/08 5:49 AM I watched your programme a couple of years ago and often wondered of Juliana's Progress—a true inspiration to everyone who meets her i am sure. Such a brave girl xxx Wendy Kane – Tampa, FL – 10/06/08 11:31 PM Juliana,
What a beautiful and strong family you have! I watched your story on tv this weekend with my 9 week old son Linus. I will tell Linus about you someday when he is old enough to understand. I am so proud of you and hope you know how much everyone admires you. You are one of the most beautiful and brave little girls I have ever seen. You will accomplish everything you want in life. You will be in my thoughts and prayers and I look forward to seeing what you do as you grow up. Have a great day!

Thank you for having the courage and the compassion to be transparent with us. I can't imagine how many people you have touched with your love and unstoppable spirit to embrace life together.
May God bless your marriage abundantly so that the girls always know how much daddy and mommy love each other. May God continue to bless your beautiful daughters with the love which radiates from both of their hearts. You can see it in every frame of the video. They are loved and they know just how very loved they are.

*Anny* Tammy Hitzemann – Spring Hill, Florida – 10/04/08 8:16 PM I have wrapped myself up in so many petty little details of raising two sons, ages 14 and 16, for too long. Things like driver's licenses, acne, dating, etc. Really stupid things in the scheme of life. Watching you, Juliana, on Discovery last night has changed my life, and for the better.
I can't stop thinking about you since I first saw you on the television. You are amazing and so are the people in your family. Tami, you are my hero.
Sincerely,
Tammy Hitzemann
A new and improved mom. Veronica Djokic – Metamora, Michigan – 10/04/08 5:01 PM Hello Julianna...YOU ARE MY HERO!!! I saw a program last night on Discovery Health about your life and I am extremely amazed at what a strong young lady you are. I keep thinking about you all day long and my deepest desire for you is to to keep showing the world that you can overcome anything. You appear to be conquering the world in your pictures (so nice to see you)! I have fallen in love with the pretty girl in this story (that's you) and I have vowed to myself to keep you in my prayers everyday. You are an inspiration and I hope joy fills your heart every day! God bless you and your family! You are a sweetheart! Lisa LeCours – myrtle beach,sc – 10/04/08 12:08 PM I saw your story on TV last night & just fell in love with you. I have thought about you all last night and today. I have 2 children of my own. I just think you you are a very strong beautiful child. I would love to meet you one day if you ever take a vaction to SC. Kep the website going so I can check on your progress. Good luck & best wishes to you in the future!
Love, Lisa Jeff Josh & Jessica Traci Curry – Garden City, Kansas – 10/04/08 11:57 AM Saw your story for the first time last night on Discovery Health. What an amazing little girl you are! God Bless you and your family...it's great to hear you are doing so well. You are so brave, and and inspiration to many. Stay strong and brave!
Traci Curry Carolyn Morrison – Coppell (Dallas), TX – 10/04/08 11:28 AM Hello sweet girl and family,
I just learned of your incredible life on Discovery Health last night.
What a blessing from Heaven you are!!
Praise God for your Mommy and Daddy's strength and determination, and yours too.
Love to you all! Kimberley – Newark, OH – 10/04/08 2:31 AM Hi, Juliana! I came to know of you through the Discovery Channel documentary and have followed your story ever since. Discovery is airing your documentary again, so I am sure you are getting a lot of e-mail and guest book entries! I just looked through your picture gallery and I can't believe how grown up you are. Gosh, Discovery's way behind on you, young lady. I have to say, I am jealous of your ability to dance. I'm afraid I have two left feet, not graceful at all. But, God has given me other gifts and I'm thankful for them. We all are unique—that's why people are all so interesting. Well, I am sure you have lots of e-mails to go through, so I'll keep this short. Mom, dad and big sis, Kentra: I've not forgotten you! :) Your family's love just radiates. I know you deal with all the normal "stuff" in family life, plus the medical issues Juliana deals with, but I know God's blessed your family. You all have a fan in Ohio. :) Joseph Williams – Brooksville, Florida – 10/04/08 1:56 AM Just letting you know I will keep your entire family in my prayers, and am very touched by the way you guys pull together...if half the families in the united states has 10% of the strength and unity your family has, we would be in a better place...Give Juliana a Hug from me...I am 36, and disabled due to complications from Diabetes...and know how frustrating certain medical situations can be, all we can do sometimes is put trust in doctors and in God...your strength as a family is inspirational to me....Thank you for sharing your story with the world....God Bless...also I felt it was so touching how much her older sister is so caring and understanding...even as i write this response her name slips me, and im sure that hurts that she feels left out sometime...god bless her as well! Nick Borrego – Roy, Utah – 10/03/08 11:58 PM Hi Juliana!
I just wanted to tell you what a great inspiration you are and have been for me. Years ago I watched your documentary on TV and ever since your inspiration has carried with me as a constant reminder of what makes life TRULY beautiful. I'm truly grateful to be able to send you this message, as you have been a hero of mine for so many years. You are so very strong and brave.
I will always wish you the VERY best and you should always know you have a friend in Utah!
Sincerely,
Nick
erin faz – san antonio, TX – 10/03/08 10:20 PM Just saw your documentary on Discovery Health. May God bless you and your family, Juliana. You are a beautiful and brave child. May you always know that. Lori – Salem, NH – 10/03/08 10:04 PM You are an incredible little girl. God bless you and your family. Michael Mendiola – Jacksonville, Florida – 10/03/08 9:27 PM Hi Juliana! My name is Michael and I'm one of the corpsmen who was in the treatment room with you. Remember me? I just wanna say that you really inspired me and I hope that we can be good friends. I wanna be there for you for every visit you make. And I'll learn sign too so that we can talk to each other. I also wanna tell how proud I am of you and how brave I think you are. So I'll see you next time ok? Take care. Alan Darbe – Michigan – 10/03/08 2:58 PM It is always heartening to hear how things are going with all of you. I don't know what Skype is, but I hope that many members of the military are able to take advantage of it.
I remember the days when, the telephones were too expensive to use, so snail mail was all there was.
I appreciate that you wish Thom were home, but at least you can communicate very often with him. December is getting closer and he will be back before you know it.
My very best to all of you and can't wait to hear more from you soon!
Alan

Are you guys getting ready for Halloween? I know it's a little early, but everyone on my block has their decorations up already and it's almost impossible not to get in the spirit! (Well, maybe that's Christmas, but I guess you get what I mean!)

I am glad Jace has an older sibling too. I can't wait for him to smile. Just to know that he is happy. He is really sick with a cold. I don't know how you handle all the stress. The nurses are nice to have around. I hope julianna surgerys go good, it's so hard knowing whats to come. We still haven't met with his surgeons yet to find out what they are going to start to fix first, but it's nice to read about Julianna and to see how strong and happy she is. be strong and god bless. judi Piotr – Sevran, France – 09/25/08 12:10 PM Hi !

I'm still SO blown away by what an impact you have on people all over the galaxy. As always, you're in my heart every moment of every day.

kisses and hugs from mexico valerie vecchione – Springfield, PA – 09/11/08 8:07 PM Hello Juliana and Family!
The first few weeks of school have been so crazy I haven't been on the computer so often. But on this certain day I knew that I needed to visit the site. I hope you and your family are doing well, it's good to hear you are recovering from your surgery. (I know, I haven't been on in a while and I know it's been some time since your surgery.) I have to go now, but I'll be back on soon!
~Val~ Kathy Hall – Minooka, IL – 09/09/08 5:46 PM Hey, Sweet Pea! I'm havin' a hard time keeping up, between you and your Gramma Colleen! :) I just want to know that you're both doin' okay and feelin' frisky, as usual. It takes an awful lot to get either one of you down for long, though, so I think we'll be okay...I'll have to ask mama for her input to get the real story! Somehow I don't think Gustav or Ike kept her running quite as much as ANA! :) What d'ya think? Should I ask Keni? I know you really want to be going to school...how's that working out? Are you back yet? I sure hope so 'cuz I know that would make you very happy. Tell mama I watch the weather channel every day, making sure you're all ok...makes us feel "connected" to y'all down there :). Take care, my Sweet Girl...be good and give mama a big hug and Keni, too, and have them give you one...we love you all and miss you. Keep "keeping on", brave girl...and tell daddy, "Hi!" for us, too!
Love you,
Gramma Kathy and the whole gang
(Lauren sends her usual message: "...bigger than the whole world." :) Natasa – croatia-zagreb – 09/09/08 1:06 PM we are a family from Croatia and we are touched by this story. We wish you all happiness and health 4 your family and a very big kiss to Juliana, we pray 4 you!
XOXOXOXOXO Annette Feliciano – Briarwood, NY – 09/09/08 1:21 AM Hey, Juliana, little dove, I can't begin to tell you what you mean to me! You're my littly Nonali—that's the name I probably would have given my little girl, if I had had one, and your sister is such an angel also! Such good girls to be proud of!!! When I saw you in 2007, I felt so blessed, so priviledged to have met you. You filled my life from then on, truly. In that moment as you and your parents were waiting for the next operation, while you were being prepped to the point of tears—your silent tears, from that moment, I was swept away. And the moment, when you threw yourself into the nurses' arms without hesitation, as if helping your dad, well, that blew me away also. You will always be in my prayers for a lifetime! I have pictures of you in my opening screen-(is that what you call it)? I especially like the picture where you are holding your umbrellas...Then again,I can't pick,they're all beautiful. I also love the picture of you and Kendra. It makes me cry at times. You Julianna, are the reason this world is still spinning...Love to all the family and to nurse Jeanne, who reminds me so much of my grandma, Myweh! Annette Feliciano, NY Barbara – Jax, FL – 09/08/08 5:03 PM She is too cute! Glad she is enjoying school and her dance classes. Hope Dad returns safe and sound from his deployment. Kat – 09/06/08 7:09 AM Heya Juliana!
I just wanted to say, I hope your surgery and all is going well for you. You are an incredibly brave and amazing girl and I am thinking about you. Stay strong angel and never give up!
Love Kat

Alessia – Torino, Italia – 09/05/08 9:35 AM Hi Tami,
I want to tell you that I admire so much how you and Juliana's dad are together and united... a big kiss to you and your baby girl... Jenni Stone – Moody AFB GA – 09/02/08 4:02 PM Glad to hear that Julianne is doing well. As to be expected. From all the things that you write about her she sounds like a srong, driven little girl.
Thanks for the updates. I know life is busy when your husband is gone.
Sometimes I want to put a stamp on my daughter's forehead and ship her to her daddy hehe.
My husband gets home next month and I am looking forward to the help.
Have a wonderful week.
Take Care,
Jenni and Autumn Karen Victoria Davenport – New York City – 09/01/08 8:36 PM Hello there Lovey-Dove!
i am sure happy to read the update from your lovely mother. How wonderful that you are now talking! that was sure a nice surprize for me to read!!!
I hope school is fun this year. I guess you'll be having the surgery later and in a different way. That is very good news.
I hope you are having fun as usual. And I hope you all didn't have a lot of flooding or anything with the storm called Fay.
You and yours are always in my prayers.
Hello Tami, Kendra, Thom, Jeanne & the canine!!!
Love and a hug,
Karen Victoria Lianne – Ohio – 09/01/08 9:42 AM Tammi and Juliana,
I am so glad that Juliana was able to go to school on the first day. I glad that everything is so far going OK even if that means that Dr. Wolfe added another proceture(the tissue expanders). That was probably a good thing though. heather mash – Sugar Grove, Virginia – 08/31/08 11:21 PM It is so nice to hear how Juliana did with her surgery. Our family is so proud of how strong your family is. As I read the last few journal entry's to my husband, he thought it was so funny how Juliana has been acting up. It's nice to know that we are not the only family with that problem. We have a 5 year old daughter, a 4 year old daughter, and a 3 month old son. Needless to say, we do not get time to rest. Our 5 year old has been great at home, and acting up at school wanting to do little girls' hair, and our 4 year old is doing great in school and acting up horribly at home. Go figure. We have two "diva's" at home ourselves. They both pick and fight, and instigate each other constantly. We hope to see the new documentary soon whenever it becomes available on t.v. We always look forward to new updates.
much love for the Wetmore family,

My name is Renee, 40, and I'm from Colorado. I was born with Mobius Syndrome and cannot smile or close my mouth all the way. Juliannas story always inspires me to forget that and just LIVE.
Julianna, you're such a special and amazing little girl. You LOOK beautiful to me and so many other people. Please remember that when someone says something stupid and hurtful. Remember that you have hundreds of people sending you a great, big hug.
You continue to inspire us with your strength. The world needs more little sweethearts like you. Thank you for being here and thank you to your parents for loving you and never giving up.
BIGGG Hugs,

I know you are such a strong girl that you will come through this one like a trooper just like always.
Whenever I feel like things are tough and I don't want to deal, I think of you and how strong you are, also you are just so darn cute that I forget my problems and smile.
Thank you for that! Lisa – Gloucester, NC – 08/18/08 11:14 PM Juliana & family:

How is this lovely day treating you? I'm tired as ever, lazy as ever, but I bet you and your sister are up and running! You're really getting to be such a big girl! Kendra, too! I hope you behave, though! Just because your growing up doesn't give you the excuse to misbehave! Have a great day!
~Valzie~ Sheila Mohler – Miami Shores – 08/17/08 8:06 AM Hi everyone
Will keep you in my prayers as Juliana goes through her surgery
Sheila Yvette Rodriguez – the zoo – 08/14/08 10:14 AM Hey there, my little monkey. I'm really missing you guys right now. I wish you lived next door to us so that you could keep your fellow ninja monkey Elias in check. Man, that kid is in serious need of of a "Juliana slap"! He can be the sweetest little boy on the planet, melt your heart...and them WHAM!!!!!! I find the gogurt wrappers from a week ago that he ate behind the couch!??!?!? What the?!?!? Hmmm...maybe I DON'T want you keeping him in check. You'd probably be right at his side, showing him REALLY good places to hide things. But, being a girl, you're SUPER SMART. So, naturally—you'd never get in trouble. You'd just GET HIM busted everytime...like his sassy sister—your other ninja monkey buddy Alicia.
Anyways my darling, I'm thinking about you CONSTANTLY and sending you extra love in a "to go" container for the coming weeks. Now—get back to rockin' the world. EE Amanda Jimenez – New Jersey – 08/14/08 2:44 AM Hello Wetmore family!
My name is Amanda and I'm 18 years old. I came across Juliana's story accidentally through youtube and found it to be truly inspirational and touching. You have two BEAUTIFUL young girls and their bond is amazing!
I wish the best for your whole family. All my love =)
-Amanda Melodie – Texas – 08/13/08 4:07 PM I saw it a year or so ago and then again recently. When I watched her documentary it broke my heart to see such a tiny little girl in pain. It caused me to pull my son out of bed just to love on him.
I am glad to see that she is doing well since the doc was filmed. Ballet even, thats amazing.
I am praying for her and your whole family. Juliana is a gift from God and I know she will continue doing special things in her life. valerie vecchione – springfield, PA – 08/13/08 12:31 PM Hello, Juliana!
How has your summer been? School will be starting soon, sadly, but I hear that you enjoy it! Good for you! I hope that you and Kendra are getting along! Have a great day!
~Val~ Kathy Hall – Minooka, IL – 08/13/08 8:32 AM Hi, Sweet Girl! Just want you to know we're sending lots and lots of love and hugs to you from Illinois! You're such a strong and amazing girl, so this time next week, no doubt, you'll have one more surgery down and behind you. Give your sweet mommy and Keni both big hugs for us, and nurse Jeanne, too...you're all in our prayers (especially, daddy, too!)...and you, Sweet Pea, be good and give Dr. Wolfe a "high-five" when you see him! :)
Love you "bigger than the whole world"...Pete, Erica, Meg, Lindsey, your buddy Lauren and Melly...
Grampa Maynard and Gramma Kathy valerie vecchione – Springfield, PA – 08/12/08 5:35 PM Hello Juliana,
I wanted to let you guys know that I am so happy that I have done something good. I enjoy fundraising for you, I am doing a round of fundraising in the fall and sometime in december we will send you the money. I know for certain that we will have over 100 dollars. We made sixty two dollars at the raffle event and fifty nine seventy nine and the lemonade stand, and the money is still coming in! I always feel proud when someone at school looks at pictures of your family in my locker and says "Who's that?" I love to explain to them about you guys and give them the website. Many people go on your site at my school because I have told them about you. I hope all is going well and good luck! My busy summer is coming to an end and I have to start getting ready for school!
~Val~ Rachel – Cowbridge, Wales – 08/11/08 5:09 PM I just want to let you know that...
Your daughter, Juliana, inspires me and helps me to keep going forward and not look back!
I'm 17, and have two pins in my jaw, just as she did, except they are on the inside, in my cheek pouches (one in each pouch), and I understand the pain that she has to go through when they are distracted/twisted >.<
They are going to come out by the end of November :)
Anyway, Juliana is more important...
I think she is a brave, little girl, to be going through many many operations, especially at the age of 3!
Her sister, Kendra (I think, sorry), is amazing too!
Looking after her all the time, keeping her happy, playing with her, being with her all the time...it's amazing!
I really don't know what else to say except that you two (as in, parents) are being very lovely parents!
I love it when you wrote 'This is our child, no matter what...'
I'm very glad you didn't (Sorry, I hate this word too) abort, her :)
She's so lively and has a lot of energy and is a bright, young, girl :)
God Bless each and every one of you in the Wetmore family! x
You're all stars, shining with God!! :) conrad mason – Hertfordshire. England – 08/08/08 11:38 AM Juliana hi, after following your story, since you were born, I am truly impressed by your strength and natural ability to inspire those around you.
You have inspired me to greater things both spiritually and practically. That God works through you is pretty obvious.
I am a 57 year of age grandfather with three grandaughters, they all send you their love and I of course send you mine with thanks for being there, it is always good to see how you are doing. Have fun with your dancing!!
Love to you and your very special family
Conrad xxx Tracy Burfield – Cottesbrooke, England – 08/07/08 7:21 AM Hi Juliana and family,
I have been reading about you on your very impressive website! It has been fascinating looking at your difficult journey but am very impressed how you have coped with your difficulties (Mum/Dad a huge credit to you).
I have a little boy called Harry who was born in November 2007, he was not diagnosed with any problems prior to birth, however after birth he was diagnosed with having Treacher Collins. We are very lucky as in his case it is very mild, i.e cheek bones not formed properly, slightly receded chin, malformed ears, hearing impairment. Harry is now 8 months old and absolutely fantastic. He now wears a baha soft band, which has made a vast difference to his so far short life. I would love to send you some pictures of him if you will let me. Fingers crossed for your new operations—hope everything goes as planned.
Love to you and your family
Tracy, Trevor, Jade, Paige and Baby Harry valerie vecchione – Springfield, PA – 08/03/08 12:32 PM Hey Wetmore Family!
Well, I'm back from vacation in Brigantine Beach, New Jersey and I made sure that the first thing on my agenda when we got home was to come on your site! looked at all of the pictures of Juliana and Kendra over and over again and I was so happy that I will finally be able to begin fundraising again. I have so many things to do! School will be starting soon for me and I have to get ready. How will I be able to find time to breathe? But no worries, I always find time to pray for Juliana!
Have a blessed summer and schoolyear!
~Val~ Sandra Hanan – Chicago, IL – 08/02/08 6:03 PM Hi, My name is Sandra and I hail from the northern Chicago suburbs. I wanted to say that you are two incredibly strong, courageous, and loving parents with two of the most beautiful girls. Kendra seems to be a very good big sister to Juliana. Juliana does seem to be a force to be reckoned with!! :) She's so strong, bold, and curious about the world around her. She's come so far, too, with the surgeries!! Your story is one that has really touched me. Best Wishes to all of you in the times you may still have to encounter in the future and always. :) jack phillion – Shelby twp, MI – 08/02/08 11:50 AM Juliana and Family -
Our family sent you a note of admiration and love last month and we'd like to send you additional messages going forward. We are all very interested in your continued progress and really enjoy the updates. Your latest pictures with you and your sister at Myrtle Beach look as if all were having some summer fun. Great !! We understand you have an upcoming surgery and wish you all the best in advance. You are a very brave little lady and your family is one the rest of the world should adore, admire and wish to be like. Love is a very powerful healer and your family certainly has it plentiful. Take care for now and if we can ever be of help or assistance in any way—please let us know. Talk with you next month and good luck with your surgery.
Jack, Tracy, Kristen & Alexi -
P.S. Also what is the name of your dog—as we read this in your guestbook articles? If ever in our area, let us know as we'd love to meet you and your family. Again—all the best. Haxq – Ireland – 07/30/08 4:53 PM Brave little Girl! Lianne – Ohio – 07/30/08 2:56 PM Hi Juliana,
How was your trip to Illinois? I bet you had a blast. I hope you get better soon from your next upcoming surgery.
July 30th, 2008 2:56 PM Kristi Morris – Abilene, TX – 07/30/08 12:43 PM Hello!! I hope the summer is going great. After reading the journals, it sounds like you guys are going full blast and rockin' away! I love the updates and pictures. Thank you guys so much for sharing. I think about you guys all the time—sending lots of love :)
Sincerely -Kristi Connie Chapman – Oswego NY – 07/29/08 7:54 PM We here in the Chapman clan send our love and support to Juliana. I can honestly say that when 9 year old Brandi and 7 year old Jake saw pics of Juliana their hearts overflowed with so much compassion and to be honest mine and Tom's did too. We know its going to be a long hard road but we stand behind you 200%. We live in an era where it is loudly argued about what is best for the children. Mr and Mrs. Wetmore do nothing more than quietly embody the example what is best for the child e.g. LOVE!!!!!! and taking care of one's own. We need to remember this. Blood is thicker than water. Juliana is a precious angel and her parents put alot of parents to shame.
What's best for the child? To be the prettiest, the most successful, the smartest, the best dressed. NO!!!!! It is ..... to be the most loved. Aimee Robbins – Louisville, Kentucky – 07/29/08 11:36 AM Hey girl!!
I hope you're feeling ok today, I know you have to be feeling not so good on as lot of days, hoping this is a good one! You seem to be a pretty spunky kid, that's awesome...keep that up.
I'm deaf as well, so I know how that part feels, but I know from experience, that as you get older, you'll not mind it so much, especially with all of the stupid things people say, lol.
So you're reading now? YAY for you!! I'd like to suggest a few books for you, Mommy and Daddy will have to read the first one to you for awhile, it can be hard to grasp some of the words, but my favorite book when I was growing up is Stuart Little. My other favorite was Fox in Socks by Dr. Seuss.
Well, I don't want to take too much of your time up, I know you have lots more mail to read, and bunches of other things to do, so you keep that smile on, and keep being a good girl, ok?
Lotsa love and huggles!!
~Aims Nathalie Cruz – São Paulo, Brazil – 07/29/08 4:03 AM Hello,
I'm Nathalie and I 24 years old. I'm from Brazil, and I've seen Juliana's story for the first time actually about 2 hours ago through YouTube. My heart was touched and also my soul. I start imagining the strength of you all, Juliana's family. Only I can say and wish is that your journey as Juliana's as well get to be the most peacefull and lovely as can be. That God is definitely holding your hands through all the way and that this way is surrounded by the most beautiful flowers.
Kiss her for me!
With love
Nathalie Gail Zeolla – Redford, MI – 07/26/08 11:19 PM Hi Tami and all, boy what a busy summer you are having! I love all the new pictures, the ballerina is adorable, the ones at the beach, and as always sleeping cuddled together is always one of my favorites. Both of the girls are getting so big! I'm so glad you got to go to the convention and made new friends, I'm sorry though that Juliana has to have her surgery sooner than you thought and she will miss school. You know you will be in our prayers, we think of you so often and am so glad for your website, that you let us all know how things are going, and espeically for sharing your pictures so we can see all of the activities they are doing and how much they are growing. They are both adorable, and touching the world all over. Have a safe trip and a nice time and will be checking back around her surgery time.
Love and prayers, gail and tony Val – S.E. Georgia – 07/26/08 10:58 PM I just saw Juliana's story for the first time a few days ago on one of the local news sites. Her story is amazing and brought me to tears. Such an amazing, strong, loving family! And the progress she has made is incredible! She's such a happy and loving little girl! With everything she has had to go through, you all are very strong. I wish the best of luck to everyone in the family. =) Aase – Norway – 07/25/08 5:04 PM Dear Juliana,
I see that I'm not the first from Norway posting in your guestbook. You see, your documentary was aired on Discovery Channel here the other day. So now your story is known even in Norway and you and your parents have helped made even more people learn about TC Syndrome! Educating people all over the world is quite an accomplishment for a kid, I'd say! Fantastically well done, Juliana! :) Thanks to your mom and dad as well, of course, for sharing your life the way they did/do...
I know how important educating the public is too, as I too suffer from a rare syndrome (not a "cranofacial syndrome" though). That people learn and gain understanding, means so much for us all, it makes life much easier when people know a thing or two about how it is to live with different disabilities... :)
Anyway, in the documentary you were so little. It was so wonderful to come to your website and see how much you have grown and that you are doing so great!!! Take care!!! :) Vicky – Singapore – 07/25/08 1:07 PM I'm really touched by Juliana's story, whenever I see her pictures, it makes me feel happy inside seeing that she looks like she's having a great time. The first time I saw Juliana's pictures, I was sort of shocked since I had never seen anyone with this kind of syndrome before. But overtime, I began to see her as an inspiration. It really brings me to tears everytime I visit this website and see how happy Juliana is!
I hope everything turns out fine with you Juliana! God bless you! Amy Henderson – Palm Harbor – 07/25/08 12:54 PM I am so glad I found your website! I have wondered for two years how Juliana is doing and am soooo happy to see she is doing so well! Good luck in the upcoming surgery and I will be praying for the whole family! I am in Florida and if you should ever be my way and need anything please let me know. connie koo – hong kong – 07/25/08 3:27 AM hi juliana and family,
i really love the photos with juliana with her loving sister by her side. brave happy little girl, you have my love and blessing from hong kong. Olivia Davis – Havelock, NC – 07/24/08 10:36 PM I am going to add Juliana and your family to my prayer list. I know that God made Juliana just the way she is. And I know,as a mother, that just becasue she looks different- doen't mean she is different. She is perfect becasue God makes no mistakes. I pray that He will use her in some powerful way.
There are so many people who would of abandoned her. But God gave her to you and you to her. Isn't He amazing. Kim – Fall River, MA – 07/24/08 10:08 AM Hello Again Beautiful Girl!! I love your cinderella dress, she is my FAVORITE Disney princess. I actually had a Cinderella wedding!
I just watched to latest update on your news station, it brought tears to my eyes. I can't believe how great Juliana is doing. She's not a normal girl... she is an extraordinary girl!!!!
And you Tami & Thom, you have so much love to share, I'm so excited about your newest addition to your family. I hope the adoption goes smoothly. I can see Juliana being a great helper to her new sister.
Good luck with the operations this year, and I am SO looking forward to seeing the new documentary when it comes out.
Love,
Kim Carrie Carleton – Bitburg AFB, Germany – 07/24/08 3:01 AM Hello,
I think you made a great choice. She is a lovely child. Juliana you seem so happy. I have 4 children of my own, a 12 year old Girl, 10 year old boy, a 2 year old girl, 1 year old boy. All of them where born early in this order, 29 weeks, 28 weeks, 27 week, 26 weeks. ranging from 3LBS, 2LBS, 1LBS 8OZS, and 1LB. If you can believe it not one of them have any problems. We got so lucky even babies that are born at full term have problems, I have babies that where completely see thru, and had black eyes, they are now pretty shades of blue and green. I can only imigine what your hospital bill must be. We are military thank GOD, they cover everything. Juliana you and your sister look so cute in your matching dresses. I think GOD works in mysterious ways. I hope you have a great summer.
Mrs. Carrie Carleton
Proud wife of, SSGT Carleton, USAF Kathryn Rahman – Chicago – 07/23/08 8:58 PM As a pediatric home health nurse for over 20 years, I have had kids with this same syndrome and like Juliana, the kids have always been active, happy children. I look forward to seeing how Juliana progresses and want her to know that she is a brave girl as the doctors do all of the work on her face. She and her sister look SO CUTE on the page with their matching dresses!! Alena Savoy – Broussard, LA – 07/23/08 8:55 PM The first time I heard about Julianna's story was on the Discovery Health channel. Ever since then I had been searching for any information about any updates that had been made. I am so touched by your story. It made me happy that she is doing so well.
God bless you all!
Alena Savoy Karen DeVree – Michigan – 07/23/08 5:10 PM Thank you for sharing your life story. My favorite photo is of Juliana resting her head on her daddy's shoulder. That is what it is all about! Candace – SC – 07/23/08 3:03 PM I just wanted to express how truly grateful I am that you are here to show us how awesome God is! He made you so special, gave you to awesome parents who love you and will do anything to help you that they can. The spirit that resides within you just glows on your face, and I truly believe that is the touch of God!
Stay sweet and dance for Him! Melissa – Chicago – 07/23/08 1:41 PM Things are really looking great for you Juliana since I first heard your story. Your progress is amazing and you're a beautiful soul. Keep up the good work. You'll make a marvelous ballerina! Maren – Norway – 07/22/08 5:57 PM Hi Juliana! Greetings from Norway!
I just saw a documentary about you on the television and I immediatly went searching the net for more information about you. Your story really touched me.
In the documentary you were celebrating your second birthday. It was great to see that you, now five years old, are doing great. You and your sister were really adorable.
I will definatly check upon this site regularly and follow the rest of you and your parents journey. Tami and Thom, you are admired for your strength.
Love, Maren. Daina – Levittown, Pa – 07/21/08 10:09 AM I just wanted to say that once i saw the show about your daughter, i have been trying to get a update. I finally found your website. It brought tears to my eyes to see such a amazing girl go through so much and how amazing your both are as parents. I hope to see a update show soon. She is very cute. Shiela Shinholster – Woodstock, Ga – 07/20/08 11:41 PM Hi Juliana!
I love the picture of you in your ballet outfit! I bet you were amazing on stage, danving circles around everyone :) Looks like you had fun at the beach too—I am so jealous! I love going to the beach—it looks like it was a great day to go too. Enjoy the rest of your summer—have fun, play hard and be good for Mom and Dad ;) laurene Johansson – Chilliwack BC Canada – 07/20/08 11:22 PM Hi Juliana
Do you realize how lucky your parents are to have such a brave beautiful girl like you??
i'm sure they do. I'm glad i found this website. Last time i saw pics of you , was on the discovery channel a few years back
you sure have grown and looking great.
Congrats on graduation from kindergarten.
laurene Kimberlie Dixon – Brunswick, GA – 07/20/08 6:56 PM I have seen your program on television a while ago and then the other day I saw the news broadcast. I think Juliana is a beautiful little girl. Your family has endured a lot and through those rough times have inspired a lot of people. I know that everyday challenges are just that.....they are challenges, but I pray that things will become easier. I have a 7 month old and I know how much I worry about her all the time. I can't imagine the worry that you go through everyday. I think about you from time to time and wonder what new things you guys are encountering. Good luck with everything that you guys do. And Juliana....keep your chin up baby girl. Your future is brighter than you could ever imagine. Lisa Morrise – Utah – 07/20/08 12:01 AM Traveling with all the medical equipment is a challenge!
Be sure to call ahead and tell the airline you are coming. Ask for assistance getting through security. Maybe you have done this before! I've used one cart for the equipment and one for the children!
We always asked to gate check our concentrator. (Take it to the gate and they will walk it down the stairs and place it in the hold—then it will be returned to where you get off the plane instead of hurtling through the baggage system. This works with strollers too.) We had to have the suction and pulse ox on board with us, of course. Feeding pump too.
The equipment all had to be double checked by the TSA. It helped for the airline to know we were coming ahead of time so that they could escort us through security.
Hope it works out for your and that you have a great trip! -Lisa & Kirsten (Pierre Robin and formerly trached for several years) The Ferguson Family – Sanford, FL – 07/19/08 7:16 PM Hi Juliana,
Your progress is amazing! WOW! Tell Mommy and Nurse Jeanne that we love reading their updates. Can't wait for the next chapter in the amazing life of Juliana... Steven J. Esler – Mountain View California – 07/19/08 3:34 AM God Bless you, you're a brave special little angel! Alvin Phair – Northern Ireland – 07/18/08 10:49 AM Wow, keep those pics coming! Always great to see new pics of the girls, would be nice to see some of the entire family enjoying their time together! God bless wee angels.
All our love, Alvin & Family Dimitris – Greece – 07/18/08 9:20 AM Greeting from Greece!!
The only thing i want to say after taking a quick tour to your site is: BRavo ! You are an inspiration for all extraordinary kids !!
Hope all your wishes become true !!! Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, NY – 07/17/08 11:15 PM WHAT!?!?!?!?!? I can't believe how long it's been since I looked at this!! My computer was "down" for a while—not to mention that I'm now competing with all 4 of the ninja monkeys for computer time!!!! Even Elias!!!
I had heard about your successful debut—but hadn't seen any photos. OH—MY—GAWD!!!!!! How adorable can you possibly be? I'm so grateful to have seen you take your very first dance class... but MAN!!!! I'm so bummed to not have seen you on stage for the first time!!!! I'm so so so PROUD of you, my darling girl. You and that crazy sissy of yours are some seriously cool kids.
I love that you got to go to the Myrtle Beach event and meet other awesome kids like yourself. Even though—we all know that nothing has EVER stopped you from trying to watch over your playmates. Even when you play with kids who are different than you. You've never descriminated against my kids even though they don't look like you. You're such a pure soul and I think—I know—that's why I fell in love with you at first sight.
...and you know, I think I'm with Kendra—maybe you should sleep at the airport when you go on your trip.
Nighty night—we love you.
"your" Freaky Linda Horner – Madeira Beach FL – 07/17/08 9:27 PM Juliana and family,
I have watched a couple of your shows on the Discovery Health Channel, Learning Channel or Discovery Channel. Juliana I admire your strength and determination to live your life to the fullest that you can. You get that strength from your family,friends,nurse Jeanne and other helpers and medical staff.
I know you are facing more surgeries soon and I am praying for you and your family. Dr. Wolf and his team have been seen on one of the discovery channel networks helping other children. They were featured on a program after I saw him help you and I knew that helping you could help him and his team help other children.
Best of luck on your next and future surgeries and I and I think a lot of people look forward to future televised updates about how you are doing. I am glad your family set up your website so we can check up and see how you are doing.
I am also praying for your Dad's safety who I know from your Mommy's journal as recently been sent overseas.
Linda Alan Darbe – Michigan – 07/17/08 8:53 AM Just saw you Beach and Dance pictures and You look like you are having a lot of fun.
I am so amazed at how big you and your sister seem to be getting. I know that time flies, but you bring the saying to life.
All my best wishes for you and your family,
Alan
Karen Victoria Davenport – New York, NY – 07/16/08 10:56 PM Hi Juliana,
You look wonderful in the dance performance. So lovely and graceful in that position and I love the color you are wearing. I wish I had been in that lucky audience to see you in person!
And it is sure nice to see you and Kendra at the beach. I am going to go in a a few weeks.
Well, I have to go now. I just began an assignment at Vogue magazine and have to get to bed. I've been lucky to get hired there recently. So far, so good.
Hello to Tammi, Thom, Kendra, Jeanne, and your dog.

Sheila Drew Davis – Dacula, Georgia – 07/16/08 12:32 AM You people are an inspiration. valerie vecchione – springfield, PA – 07/15/08 4:51 PM Hi Family!
Thanks for the update on Juliana, Mrs. Wetmore. I hope everything works out with Juliana in August. I love her little blue dance costume. May I say that she looks very pretty in it! And it's nice to hear that Kendra takes such an intrest in Football. That's really cool! I know that I'd never in a milion years try to do something like that! Tell Kendra I said "Good for you!"
As I said in a previous message, Juliana is an exceptional girl! I love to hear updates about how things are going. I once again say that I hope things will work out with Juliana's surgery next month. She is a strong little girl and best wishes to her!
~Val~ Debbie Gilbride – Roslindale, MA – 07/14/08 10:35 PM Hi Juliana:
You look absolutely beautiful in your blue tutu. It must have been so much fun to perform. You have so many plans for the summer I hope you have a great time. Sorry to hear that the surgery has to take place so soon.

I love your pictures. valerie vecchione – springfield, PA – 07/13/08 9:23 AM Hey Juliana and Family,
Thanks fro the update, Nurse Jeanne! That cute that Juliana made friends and had a good time at the retreat! I'm glad to hear that all is well.
My mom took a five year old (her brother is my brother's friend) shopping with her the other day, and we told her about Juliana. She had a baby doll with her, and she named the baby doll Juliana! Isn't that cute?
I hope that everything is going well and that your family is safe and sound. Say hi to Juliana and Kendra for me!

July 12th, 2008 6:46 PM Kristi Morris – Abilene, TX – 07/12/08 3:27 PM Nurse Jeanne!!! Thank you so much for a great update. It was wonderful reading all about the retreat and how fantastic Juliana did there.
I can only imagine her up on stage getting ready to perfrom at her recital :) I am sure it was absolutely precious. If there is a video of it, is it possible to post it here on Juliana's website??

Just a quick note to say hello. I hope you are having a great time this July.
How was your Fourth of July? I went to a party to see the fireworks on a roof in the city here. We could see two sets of them, south and east, but clouds were around. It was a different show than usual.
Hello to your family and Jeanne and your dog.
Love & Kisses,

Val and Laurie valerie vecchione – springfield, PA – 07/11/08 12:09 PM Hello Blessed Family!
Today will be our first day of fundraising! sorry we had to put it off for so long, but my summer has been full of so many camps I can barely find time to breathe. My little brother and dad are going to be going away camping for the weekend so my mom and I decided that today would be a nice day to start the season!
Remembering the spring fair, we did make exactly sixty-two dollars. We never expected that much, but there are so many kind-hearted and caring people out there who genuinly care about you, Juliana! My friends and I were so exited and surprised when we counted the money, plus a twenty dollar donation from my friend's mom. Thank you, Mrs. Smith!
I'll hopefully visit the site tomorrow and bring you news of the lemonade stand. We are certain that many people will care enough to stop and buy a simple cup of lemonade from two twelve-year old girls for a good cause.
Best Wishes,
Valerie Vecchione Heather Storts – Broken Arrow, OK – 07/11/08 10:59 AM Juliana-
What an amazing life you have ahead of you!! I have a little girl that is just a few months younger than you, her birthday is in November and she will be 5. She also loves to pack things in bags like you and is also a clothes and shoe horse!! LOL amazing how that just seems to be born in you little women! I hope you are doing well and i will check often for your updates. If you are ever in Oklahoma you should come and play! :)
P.S. My baby sister is in the Navy like your Daddy. She is stationed in Virginia. Rowan – Tennessee – 07/11/08 1:25 AM I just have to say, you all are so brave.
Juliana is an amazing person, and she deserves so much. I am so glad everything is working out well for y'all. :]
I wish you all the best in everything, and never give up.
You've touched lives, really.
Good luck with everything, Juliana.

john terlingo jana – Neptune Beach, FL – 07/10/08 3:07 PM I saw your story on Discovery Health while I was in a hospital stay in Baptist Beaches recently. I want to say this was the most compelling story that touched my heart in so many ways. Julianna, you are so brave and so beautiful and I wish the best for you always. To your family, I admire your strength and dedication to giving your daughter the wonderful life she deserves. God Bless you and your family, Julianna. Melissa Ballard – Niceville, Florida – 07/10/08 11:48 AM I am so happy to find this web-site. I have watched two episodes on Discovery Health about Juliana and have often wondered how she is doing.
My son and his paintball team plan to participate in a Charity Paintball game in Sept and when he was telling me about it I knew right away it must be for Juliana. I found this web-site from a link on the Paintball web-site.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You have two very beautiful girls. I know God has something special planned for Juliana and your whole family. You have already touched so many lives through Him. Richard W. Kaltenbock – Pittsburgh PA – 07/09/08 5:14 PM Hey Juliana, I'm glad to see that your making progress =) You're a brave girl and I hope you get far in life, you have a lot to teach the world and I have much respect for you *hugs* Never give up and keep moving forward. Linda Hofstad – Peters Creek, Alaska – 07/09/08 1:32 AM I just wanted to let you know that another special little girl feels a connection to Juliana. My daughter, Shelby, who has autism loves watching anything about Juliana...the Discovery show, youtube clips, etc. Shelby is almost 13 and has long shown an interest in the medical world, making Juliana's many operations and transformations captivating to her. Bless your family. You are as lucky to have Juliana as she is lucky to have you! Linda Susan Werner – Bloomington, IL – 07/08/08 11:33 PM Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I, too, have a daughter with Treacher Collins Syndrome. She is 3 1/2. While Megan has a much milder case, I know that some of the surgeries and challenges that you have faced are in our future, too.
Best wishes. You are in my thoughts and prayers and I will continue to check for updates.
Susan Werner jack phillion – Shelby Township, MI – 07/08/08 11:00 PM Juliana -
We watched your show last night and you have so inspired our family. You and your family are truly amazing and all a gift from God for the rest of us to admire and adore. Your determination, love and strength for one another is unmatched. You have made many besides your parents and family proud without even directly knowing any of us. You will have much success in life and our family will continue to check in on you and yours to see how things are progressing. If ever our way please let us know and hopefully you enjoy your summer with much fun and joy. Take care and God Bless you and your family—you certainly have done this to ours! P.S. - You are my hero little lady. Kristina – Pennsylvania – 07/08/08 6:53 PM I saw your show last night and had to learn more about Juliana's progress! I am so happy to have found her website. As a parent of a special needs child (brain injured at birth, not has severe cerebral palsy) I feel a great kinship with other families and their "journeys" in raising a special child. Kudos to your family, you obviously have given Juliana a wonderful life! shelby – texas – 07/08/08 6:47 PM I saw your story last night and I cannot tell you how precious you are Juliana. You are truly an angel. Your mommy and daddy are so lucky to have been blessed with you. I will keep you in my heart everyday.
You are so beautiful.
God Bless. Tracy Smith – Sacramento, CA – 07/08/08 4:45 PM I saw your Discovery program last night and had to send off a little note. My daughter is 10 months old with a rare condition called Nager's. She is often mistaken for having Treacher Collin's—and has many of the same issues that you all must struggle with—trach, g tube, bone conduction hearing aids, etc. Just wanted you to know I am thinking of you—and understand much of what you are going through. Thank you for sharing your story with the world. The more educated the public is about these syndromes, the better for our children. Sue Weber – Troy, Michigan – 07/08/08 4:01 PM To Juliana and family—what a wonderful family you are—I could feel the love when watching Tami kiss, snuggle and hug Juliana. I have seen the program twice now and when I went on the website today to see how Juliana is doing, I was amazed at her continuing progress and beauty and I can tell she is going to be a great dancer! I will continue to pray for your family—I think about you often. May God Bless you all! KB Lomheim – Fullerton, California – 07/08/08 3:13 PM Hi Wetmore family,
I am so sad I missed the program on Discovery Health last night. I hope there are reruns of it in the near future.
Tami, I'm a special education teacher here in California and I have been following Julianna's profile for sometime with great interest. The challenges you are facing in education are understandably stressful.
If there is any support I can provide to you, don't hesitate to ask (you have my email in the registration). I am not only a special ed teacher, but I also have my multiple subject credential and I am just about ready to graduate with my Masters in Special Education.
The best to all of you. Know you are in my thoughts...
Sincerely,
KB Lomheim Daniel - Warner Robins GA – 07/08/08 2:47 PM To Juliana and family:
My wife and I saw your story on the Discovery Channel last night and were moved almost to the point of tears. We're sure the Lord has great things planned for you and your family.
We just want to tell you that God is still in control and He loves you very much. Please know that you are not a victim or a mistake, but you are very special and we are praying for you.
Matthew 19:13-15 is a wonderful passage from Scripture that tells us of Jesus' love for children. Steve Sparks – Texas – 07/08/08 1:12 PM Dear Mr. & Mrs.Wetmore,I was channel surfing last night and came upon a show telling yous and Juliana's story.What a touching story.What a little angel she is.I want you to know I will be saying prayers for you all and for little Juliana. johanna – indiana – 07/08/08 12:55 PM she is precious and she will learn and exceed all what she can and know that she is there also to let others learn that life is all about being happy with the way you are. Monica Saenz-Castillo – Lyford, Texas – 07/08/08 10:22 AM Dear Wetmore Family,
My husband and I saw your program last night. I think I had seen it before. It didn't touch my heart as much as it did last night. My husband and I are new parents and now we have the love of a child and can see how much Juliana means to you all. I just want to thank the two of you as her parents for giving yourselves to her completely. I have recently been reading several stories where some parents are abusing, hurting and in some cases killing their own children, and that breaks my heart and gets me angry. To see the two of you as the parents we should all be like, gives my heart hope and puts a smile on my face. Thank you for being who you are and for continuing to love this beautiful little girl. Nichelle Haby – Helotes, Texas – 07/08/08 10:19 AM Dear Sweet Juliana and family,
What an angel you are!! Your whole family is the perfect example of love. If only all of us had a family that was as loving and caring as you all are to each other.
Juliana you are a such a stong and brave little girl. You are truly and inspiration to me.
Now that I have found your website, I will love watching you grow and reading about all of the wonderful things that you do.
Sending lots of Love,
Nichelle, Adam, Alexander & Lillian Haby Tom Golden – Mansfield, Ohio – 07/08/08 9:51 AM Rock on Wetmore family! Thanks for allowing your story to be shared. It's got to be the single most inspiring story I've ever witnessed. I plan to follow Juliana’s progress. I know that God will continue to be glorified through your family. Thom and Tami – you are gifts to Juliana. Juliana is surely God’s gift of hope and beauty to all those who will pause and see His goodness in her. My Mother still spells my name “Thom”… I don’t see that too often. I just thought I’d pass that along for trivia purposes :) Thom, thanks for serving “We the People.” You are The Man! Tami – continue to draw strength from God and inspiration from the gifts He gives you. Jeanne – …I enjoy reading your entries on the site. You’re a blessing!
Just a quote I saw the other day— “A whole stack of memories never equal one little hope.” C. Schulz. If you’re ever in Ohio near Mansfield, dinner and a hotel is on us. –Tom Marisol – Pennsylvania – 07/08/08 7:52 AM Hi. I just watched Juliana's story last night and am inspired by your daughter. What an incredible and strong family you have! Laura Burch – Wichita Falls, TX – 07/08/08 4:47 AM My daughter, Addy, and I watched your story last night. I had seen it once before and wanted to look you up on the internet to see what has been happening for you all since the program was first aired.
Wow! What a lot of neat things and so much that you all have been through.
Thank you all for your strength and courage that inspires so many people.
And what pretty, happy girls I see in the photos.
Addy is 13 and was amazed at your story.
We will check in now from time to time to see what's new for the Wetmore family. :) Hugs and kisses. Kelly – San Diego, CA – 07/08/08 3:28 AM Well, it's 12:20 a.m. here and I just saw your special on TV. I was blown away by your family! I had to go look you guys up online. You guys are all an inspiration. Your faith, love and determination are amazing. I will keep you all in my prayers and continue to keep an eye on the amazing transformation. Kendra, you are such precious big sister!
PS- Tami, I own a day spa in San Diego....come relax whenever your ready! Lisa Morrise – Salt Lake City – 07/08/08 12:34 AM My daughter, Kirsten, age 15 1/2, has had 32 surgeries to correct facial issues associated with Pierre Robin sequence. Docs say she's "one of the worst cases they've seen" which we find not at all comforting. We don't know the underlying syndrome.
She appreciates hearing Juliana's story and we both relate totally to many of your experiences. We used suckers to help Kirsten learn to use her tongue, too! She's been tube fed on and off her whole life.
Kirsten had a trach as an infant, then was on CPAP then trached again until she was 12, then back on CPAP. She finally had both jaws moved forward (the lower for the 2nd time) and can finally breathe on her own. She hardly ever chokes anymore—she says, like its just once a week . . . When she was born you couldn't even see her tongue—it had to be cut out of her throat.
Kirsten speaks to the nurses at our children's hospital about once a quarter about what its like to be a patient. I have recently taken a job there as a parent advocate.
We want you to know that we are pulling for you (hang in there in the IEP thing—we've been there big time!). Thanks for sharing your story! Leslie Kerner – Texas – 07/08/08 12:30 AM Dear Juliana,
I was so sad to hear about your many surgeries but am so glad they are helping you now and in the future.
I prayed for you during the whole time I was watching the program about you. I can't wait to show my family your website tomorrow so they can see how beautiful you are and so that they can pray for you, also.
Thank you for showing all of us how to be so brave!!!
The Kerners Merrie West – Dayton WA – 07/08/08 12:25 AM We just watched Juliana's story and then realized it was from 2005, we ran to the computer to see how she and the family are doing now.
WOW! She is looking great. Your family is such an inspiration to all of us! We wish you all the best in your future and will continue to follow her progress.
Hi this is colten west I hope Juliana the best!
Sid, Merrie, Kaitlyn & Colten West Lori Turnbull – Placerville, CA – 07/08/08 12:24 AM Hello, Wetmore's... I just finished watching the show from 3 years ago... it was my second time. Thank you so much for sharing Juliana's journey with the world (and our family)... it's truly an inspiration.
My daughter watched it with me the first time last year, she was 8 at the time. And she had a lot of questions, but she was genuinely interested in Juliana's progress. I believe that opening this door for our children will open their hearts to everyone's differences out there in the world and that God has a plan for everyone.
I thank you. My prayers are with you all during Thom's deployment and I pray for a fun summer and an easy transition in the fall. Ivonne Montemayor – Monterrey, Mexico – 07/08/08 12:15 AM I just saw the program at Discovery Channel of your little angel. I just wanted you to know that you have made a wise decision since the begining (of course you already know that). My hearth is with you and so my prays, enjoy your angel as i'm enjoying mine, her name is Angela and she is 1 year and 1 month old. Your daughters are incredible beautiful, I loved the pictures were they are toghether.
I know that you have the support of too many people, please never give up at giving Juli the greatest life, she is already gifted having you as parents.
I send you a BIG hug, and kisses for your daughters. John Wilson – Winchester, Kentucky – 07/08/08 12:14 AM Juliana's story has inspired me in like to look at the positive things in life, just as you look at all the positives. Im also very very glad that her sister isnt afraid to except her into the family that shows that you all as parents are wonderful. Lorrine Carrara – Felton, CA – 07/08/08 12:14 AM Dear Tami, Thom, Juliana,
I just watched the show about Juliana and when I saw that it was recorded in 2005 I got up out of bed and searched the internet and found your site. I was so touched and moved by Juliana and her story that I had to find out how she's doing now. I am so inspired and in awe of the beautiful support, hope and love of you all. Although I'm on the otherside of the country, my heart connected for those moments that you shared your story with us all....God Bless you and your family....with love, prayers and thanks, Lorrine Joey – PA – 07/08/08 12:12 AM I just saw your special on Discovery Health, what an incredibly awesome story! The strength that you and your family have is inspiring. I wish you all the best and can't believe what tremendous progress you've made! Katy Cole – Fort Hood – 07/08/08 12:07 AM Dear Wetmore Family,
I saw your story on TV and was truly touched by it. The show I saw was from when she was two and I had to know how she was doing now. I am glad she is doing so well. I also read that you are going through a deployment. We are military too. My husband is currently in Iraq. I just want to say how inspiring your story is. Every military family has to be strong but ya'll are flat out amazing. Good Luck to you and yours.
—Katy Cole Joyce Freire – miami florida – 07/07/08 11:55 PM Oh my, Oh my How the time has just flown by. Juliana you have become a beautiful young girl. Tears are comming down just to see how well you have been doing. No words need to be said, no stories need to be told. From the first time I met you until the pictures I just saw you are a MIRACLE THAT GOD gave to us the world. Thank you Juliana, Thank you for your zest of life. Your strength for the weak and strong. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I knew from the first day I met you and your parents that you had something to prove and you have and are. I love you. Hugs and kisses to mom, dad.
my special angel

Miami florida kelly wade – 07/07/08 10:56 PM I am a college graduate that studied biology and genetics. I have always been fascinated by human genetics. My family actually has many carriers for the genetic disorder for Tay-Sachs. After seeing Juliana's story I research Treacher Collins syndrome furiously. During my research I began to feel less academic and technical and more heart-felt and compassionate towards Juliana's journey. I recently had a son and I can't imagine what this family has had to go through. I guess I am curious about how doctors have determined her intellectual capacity and if she is on target developementally for her age. Thank you Wetmore family for opening my mind up academically as well as emotionally. I have learned that, while I do not think that I would be strong enough to have made the decisions that Juliana's parents did, I can not truely know what I would do in the situation that her parent's were in when she was born. joshua olguin – california – 07/07/08 9:58 PM i barely heard about juiliana, but, she looks like such a sweet girl ^^. happy bday julie! (even though its a late bday ^^) i was wondering if someday i can perform a kids magic show for her and some of her friends ^^,i would really like to meet your beautiful daughter ^^. take care you guys and god bless :) Danielle – New York, NY – 07/07/08 9:40 PM Hi Wetmore Family!
I just saw Juliana's story on TV and was so touched and inspired I had to search the web to find out more, and am so thrilled to find she has her own site. I didn't realize the special was taped a few years back and I am amazed by her transformation.
You are an incredible family. Mom and Dad your faith and strong spirit is unmatched. Thank you for the the gift of sharing your story, it has touched my life.
Juliana, I can't wait to follow your progress and see the amazing person you are progress. Continue to amaze us all, you are a rock star....
All the best! Natalie De Castro – Miami – 07/07/08 9:13 PM I think you're family is incredible. You are such an inspiration. Juliana, you are a beautiful girl and you have the type of parents every child want. God bless you and keep you safe always.
You made a lasting impression on me. Nicholas Parson – Oklahoma City – 07/07/08 9:06 PM Hello Juliana, how are you? I hope you are having a wonderful time in school. I know you are learning a lot. My wife and I watched your TV special and we were touched by how strong and beautiful you are. We can tell your heart is so big and wonderful. I hope you had a happy fourth of July.
Love,
Nick and Jenni Parson Pietro Bortoletto – Miami,Fl – 07/07/08 7:00 PM Hi Juliana and Mom,
My name is Pietro Bortoletto, I got to meet both of you today at Dr.Wolfe's Office. I was the tall kid in the brown pants. Iam actually a Pre-med Student at UM who is shadowing Dr. Wolfe for the summer. I was blown away about how happy and excited Juliana was today. Alot of people have the misconception that people suffering from Treacher Collins syndrome are miserable. But after seeing Juliana today it was heartwarming to see her so lively.
I just wanted to say it was a pleasure to meet both of you and I hope to be seeing more of you guys in the office.
Pietro Ashley – Milwaukee, WI – 07/07/08 5:10 PM To Juliana and the rest of the Wetmore family,
What an incredible daughter you have! She's such an inspiration to me and everyone around her too i'm sure! And what a wonderful family she has to support her. She has such caring and devoted parents. If I have a family someday, I hope it'll be as wonderful as yours! I'm always checking out your site for updates and of course have seen some of your documentaries too. You guys are always in my thoughts and prayers. Take care. :) Lianne – OHIO – 07/07/08 12:33 PM Hey Juliana,
I really hope that you are OK and don't have to have a surgery for a while. Tammy, I am sure while Thom is away the house will still be kept undercontrol and it'll still be standing and the kids will be fine:-)
Kendra must be atleast 6 or 7 by now. I'll tell you something, those two are growing up FAST.
It'll be no time before they graduate from highschool and move out of the house! Priscilla – Bronx, NY – 07/04/08 10:31 PM Wishing you guys a Happy 4th Of July, and have fun! Rick – Canyon Lake, Ca. – 07/04/08 8:24 PM HOWDY!
Just wanted to wish everyone a happy 4th of July and hope you all have a fun and safe weekend!
Rick Salane – Kansas – 07/04/08 4:27 PM I want you to know that you are an amazing person. You should be proud of raising a daughter with such special needs. The doctors told my mom that I should have been aborted, but she kept through. I turned out fine when i was born, but things can happen to everyone.
Its people like you that make this world a better place. You give people like me who thought everything was so bad in their lifes something to see and think "I am blessed." You also give me hope that when in impossible situations, hope can be had and live can go on.
God bless you.
Salane valerie vecchione – springfield, PA – 07/04/08 3:20 PM Hello Wetmore Family! Happy 4th of July! I hope you guys have something nice planned! You certainly deserve it! How is Juliana? I love her graduation picture! she looks so cute in her little robe and hat, and the pink deploma? Adorable! Juliana is really an exceptional little girl! I can't belive she's going to be going into kindergarten! And Kendra! She's getting big, too! I love to see pictures of them and read about them! Its great to get updates once in a while! (I just red 'Don't Fix What Isn't Broken' five minutes ago.) I can't wait until the next update! Enjoy your Fourth of July!
~Val~ Kathy Hall – Minooka, IL – 07/03/08 10:30 AM Hi, my gorgeous little firecracker! How are you?! Tomorrow is a special day, isn't it? Your daddy and all the other brave soldiers who protect and serve our country will lead in the celebration of it's birthday!!! When you talk to him...and I know you will :)...tell him he's in all of our thoughts and prayers. Can't wait to see you and Keni and Mommy and Nana Colleen when you come "home" to Illinois later this month, Ana. Get your play shoes on!!! Baby Mel might have her new "ears" by then, and you and the Blonde can help her break 'em in. Love you so much, Ana...give Mama and Keni hugs and have them give you lots back for us...see you soon, Sweet Girl!

My daughters Murphy, age 11 and Morgan, age 7 and I wanted to drop in and Hello from Ohio! We hope you are enjoying your summer. The girls think summer is going by fast but just like you they love school too.
Murphy and Morgan are taking horse back riding lessons this summer. Have you ever ridden on a horse? They are pretty big animals. Murphy rides a horse named "Hearts" and Morgan rides a horse named "Brownie".
We plan to check back on the site soon. God bless and have a great summer!
Love,
Murphy and Morgan and their mommy Melissa Stephi – Bremen – 07/02/08 11:47 AM Dear Parents of Juliana,
I am from Germany , so my english isn't very good. But while I was looking up some stuff on the Internet I found your homepage. First I was quite shocked because I've never seen such a oerson like Juliana before, but then i read your stories. I respect you soo much for your decision to keep the baby while you was pregnant.
I wish you good luck for your future and Juliana! I hope everyone will hear from you and people like me get in conflict with persons like juliana. I think it's important for learning how to handle situations like your pregnancy and the life of Juliana.
so good luck!
Stephi Ramona Wiggins – Marietta GA – 07/02/08 11:36 AM Hey, I think you are so special and sweet. I can't believe how much you have grown since the last tv special. I hope you are having a fun summer and have a great time in school this fall. I will have to send you an e-mail of all of my cats pictures. They are my babies since I don't have any children and they are sooo spoiled. Every time I see your picture I just want to give you a big hug and say hang in there. It must be hard having to go to the hospital so often but you have come a long way with you surgeries. I will talk to you later. Have fun and stay sweet.
Love, Ramona Alan Darbe – Michigan – 06/30/08 11:33 AM It is great to see new pictures of you and your family. It must break your heart to have your Dad gone for awhile.
I want you to know that your Dad's job is very, very important to all of us and we appreciate the sacrifice that you and your family make. He is one of a very few that have chosen to help protect all the rest of us in this great country. I will pray for his, and all his fellow servicemen and women, safe return, as I know you will.
God Bless you,
Alan englau – down south – 06/29/08 10:33 AM Hello All,
I just found your website today and wanted to drop by a little note.
I saw a picture of juliana back three years ago and found her on youtube today- wow has she grown! Im a high school student, so i dont have much experience with children aside from volunteering at summer school, but she is so bright and looks like shes really enjoying life! You have two beautiful daughters. I wish you all the luck in years to come! You have so many wonderful things ahead of you.
P.S. I saw the picture of her with the dolphin- does she like animals? I bet she would love to pet a big fluffy doggie! Cecilia – buenos aires, argentina – 06/28/08 12:40 PM Hola Tami, Juli y el resto de la familia, soy de argentina, trabajo con niños con discapacidad auditiva, estaba buscando otra cosa en internet y di con la pagina de ustedes, son un ejemplo de valor, amor y fuerza. los felicito! y les mando todo mi amor Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, NY – 06/28/08 12:11 PM Hey there my yummy little dancing puddin' muffin !!

I can't stand how @#%&* amazing you are sometimes!!!!! Whew!! I think I need some oxygen...hmm...don't have any—ice cream will have to do. SEE WHAT YOU DO TO ME!?!?!?
I love you mucho.
Yvette claire thompson – leicester england – 06/26/08 8:53 PM Hi I found your website and I just wanted to leave a little note. I only found out about Juliana from watching a clip on youtube. The first video made me cry as she is about the same age as my little girl and it broke my heart watching her getting ready for an operation. Now I just smile every clip I see of Juliana. I just had to tell you that she is so beautiful, she makes your heart melt watching her. She is such a little darling. You parents show the rest of us up as your such an inspiration. You can see all that happiness and love in Juliane in the way she's confident and happy. Best wishes, kisses for Juliane and god's blessings for the future. Claire Thompson. P.S I love the pictures especially of her doing ballet she looks lovely x Kristi Morris – Abilene, TX – 06/24/08 11:55 AM Hey girls! I was just thinking about all of you and wanted to say hello. I hope the summer is going great. Getting ready for trip? I'm sure everyone there is excited about seeing you girls!
Have a wonderful Tuesday!
Lots of love-
Kristi valerie vecchione – springfield, Pennsylvania – 06/23/08 4:57 PM I love you guys and just want to let you know that I am getting very exited about upcoming lemonade stands. I hope that by the end of this busy week, my friends and I can get started.
I'm sorry that I have to cut my comment short, but as I said, busy week. I have to go out to my flute lesson today. I am going to be on your site tomorrow, though!
I'll see you!
~Val~ sylll – france, lyon – 06/19/08 5:23 PM Bonjour,
J'ai connu ce site par hasard après avoir vu el documentaire sur juliana.
Depuis je prends régulièrement des nouvelles de juliana. Je suis très fière d'elle et de cette force qu'elle m'inspire.
plein d'amour pour elle et sa famille.
sylll Gail Zeolla – Redford MI – 06/18/08 12:54 PM Hi Tami, my lap top just messed up my message so hope you don't get two of them. I loved seeing the new pictures, she looks so cute in her graduation cap and gown, all of them are really nice. I'm sure sorry though that so much has changed with her school and the nurses who will be there for her changing. My grandson has Autism and they just moved from MI to Iowa and he too need to be on a schdule. I hope she will like these new ones as much as she did the others. I hope you have a nice trip this summer, and I can't remember when Thom is coming back, but this is the last time for him to leave right? You are having to go through an awful lot of changes with Juliana this summer, you are such a strong woman, she—all of them are so lucky to have you.
Looking forward to hearing more updates when you have time, take care and wishing you all a very nice summer.
Love to all, gail MI paul kerr – 06/18/08 10:39 AM Hi there,
Congratulations on your graduation! You must all be so proud. Rightly so. I wish you all the very best for the coming summer. May you enjoy it! Monique – Jacksonville, FL – 06/17/08 9:44 PM Hey sweet girl...it's been too long, but you are never far from my thoughts. Holy Moly have you and Kendra grown! I love to read the updates and see new pictures...thanks Tami. I hope we can see you sometime this summer. My kids still ask me when they are going to get to meet you and your family.
We will keep your daddy in our prayers for a safe and speedy return. Enjoy your vacation Wetmores!
Monique Shelli – Greensboro, NC – 06/16/08 5:51 AM Juliana! Congratulations on your graduation :) Your mommy and daddy must be so proud of you! My boys just graduated from fifth grade a few days ago. You kids grow so fast!! Keep up the great work. You are awesome. Say hello to your sister too ^^ Bye for now.
Shelli...a fan from North Carolina Lianne – Ohio – 06/15/08 9:26 PM How is Juliana doing? I will not remember to do it, so I will wish Juliana a HAPPY SUMMER and Thom a HAPPY FATHER DAY!
I hope that Juliana doesn't have to have surgeries to soon and if she does I will wish her the best of luck on recovery and your family best of luck on getting down there! Hopefully yuo don't have to drive like you did on the Born without a Face!
Best Wishes,
Lianne Alvin Phair – Northern Ireland – 06/15/08 5:03 PM Its grate to see that Juliana and Kendra get to see so many interesting places, my what a busy schedule for a couple of little girls to fit into each day!
I am sure that Juliana can handle whatever is thrown at her? New Nurse's and Schools etc, after all, look at the support the wee Angel has!
All our love, Alvin & Family Brady Ware – College Station, Texas – 06/14/08 9:56 AM Howdy! I'm a Texas A&M student from College Station and I've seen programs/heard about your family for a while now. It makes me nervous to comment, but I really felt like telling you that Juliana, your whole family, inspires me so much. I see the way you all persevere through difficult times and how it must strengthen you to love so much more in the good...
Juliana's heart shines through in those videos, and I'm sure so much more in person. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with the world. I know that must not be an easy decision to make. But it is incredible to read the blogs and see how so much we take for granted is so beautiful. I wish I could explain that...how Nurse Jeanne talked about Juliana's love for bags. Its so simple but so moving. That she could find so much in a bag, when we find it so hard to find beauty in anything.
You give me hope, and it reminds me how beautiful the little things are. Juliana, you and your whole family changes the world. Its hearts like yours that make me realize He is with us. I could never thank you enough for that.
From the Aggie family down here in Texas, God bless you Juliana....if you only knew how much strength you give us.
(you don't have to post this if you don't want to, this was just the easiest way to tell you thank you. thank you isn't strong enough, but its all I can do. You do so much more for us.) Barbara Olivieri – Ardmore, Pa. – 06/13/08 12:47 PM Juliana,
I stopped in the other day to let you know that I have been praying for you and your family for quite a while now. I have been keeping track of your progress. You are doing beautifully.! Keep up the good work. Barbara Amy Johnson – Baldwin, WI – 06/12/08 2:24 PM Hello Girls,
I stopped in again to see how you were doing, my daughter, Kinsey asks about you all the time still. She just graduated from Kindergarten too! I am VERY proud of you Julianna. It is a great big step. I see that you have a lot of stuff planned already for this summer. Kendra, please be nice to the boys at football camp! One day you will know why. I know it is hard with your Dady gone right now, but just remember how many people count on him and think he is a hero for what he does. He will be home soon. Tami, would it help to have your readers mention something to the school about the new nurse. More stress and worry is not something any Mother needs put on her. If there is anything, and I meany anything I can do, just ask. Puppy kisses and well wishes from your friends in Wisconsin—Amy, Kinsey and Samantha Barbara Olivieri – Ardmore, Pa. – 06/12/08 10:36 AM Dear Julianna and Family,
I would like you to know that I have been praying for Julianna and her whole family since I first saw the video "Born Without a Face" about four years ago. I have not missed a day.! God Bless you and your family. I know He will help you all. I am thrilled to see that this beautiful child is making such wonderful progress. Barbara Sheila Mohler – Miami Shores Forida – 06/12/08 7:48 AM Oh my Gosh look at our beautiful girl
I am so proud of you
Sheila Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, NY – 06/11/08 6:21 PM Oh my GAWD!!!!! Look at you in your (first of many) cap and gown! I love your little pink dayglo diploma! Did you have the school special order that for you? I'm so, so, so unbelievably proud of you. You can't even imagine how often I think about you, my beloved little girl. Naturally, I pray for you all the time—but mostly, I'm ROOTING & CHEERING for you in my heart. I imagine you silencing and shaming anyone who's ever been unkind to you. Not by being nasty or confrontational...but by RISING to great heights in your life. I imagine you actually saving one or many of these unkind people—without hesitation.
YOU ARE THAT POWERFUL—and you don't even try. It's true that children are a reflection of their parents. You and Kendra make your Mommy & Daddy proud—I'm sure of it.
I love you muchisimo... now go hide Mommy's keys like a good girl!
Yvette
Loreen Pantaleone – Robbinsville, NJ – 06/11/08 1:40 PM Oh how wonderful! You graduated!
Have a great summer this year, I see you are already off to a great start with mini golf and visits to the zoo! Mommy is doing a great job at keeping the girls busy and bustling :) I look forward to the summer photos! Kim – Fall River, MA – 06/11/08 11:35 AM Wow Juliana, looks like you've been busy! I see that you've graduated, I'm so proud of you! You look so grown up in your graduation cap and gown, (which makes me feel old since I've been keeping up with you since you were only 2!) I think of you all the time and really look forward to the updates on this site. Keep growing (not too fast though) and keep being the beautiful little girl you have always been! Love you. bette graves – brighton, tennessee – 06/10/08 8:40 PM hi wetmore gals, hope your summer is off to a great start. we are in kentucky taking a short vacation, and we just wanted to check in and say hi. you all are growing up so fast and getting so big, Juliana, your hair is so long! Once i get home i think i'll make you some nice hair ponies, and a purse to match.......one for sister too. I'll figure out how to get them to you. you all have a good summer break, and take care. Graziella Raluy Zierold – Mexico City, Mexico – 06/10/08 1:56 PM ¡Hola!
I'm 43. I'm married to Benny Turnbull and we have a 10 year old daughter and an 8 year old son. When we went for my first ultrasound (we were living in Brighton, England) we were asked if we would keep the baby if we knew there might be something wrong with "it" (not "him" or "her"). We said we´d absolutely keep him or her. And then I realized there was actually something "wrong" with one of the two young women who were attending to us! I don´t know what her condition was, but her hands and face were a little deformed. I hadn´t noticed till that point. The woman just beamed at us when we said that of course we´d keep the baby. I think she felt glad that there are people who would welcome someone like her. And maybe she also felt proud of herself for being an active, working person. It turned out I had a healthy baby, and then I miscarried, then a boy and another miscarriage. The boy, Miguel, fractured his skull when he was 17 months and is all right now. We´ve been supported through the rough times by all the loving people around us. I know it´s very hard for you to face the ¨normal¨challenges and responsabilities of parenthood, plus extra special and difficult ones. But don´t feel alone. You´re in many people's prayers around the world. And don´t feel bad for the negative and hurtful comments. Those people just don´t understand, and I feel sorry for them. God bless all your familiy, friends and carers! We´ll pray specially for you when we go to Children´s Mass on Sundays, in the Santa Monica church in Mexico City.

The Discovery Health channel will be replaying the "Building Juliana's Face" documentary on July 7th at 8:00 and 11:00pm Kathy Hall – Minooka – 06/10/08 11:24 AM Hey, my Sweet Girls! All 3 of you! I can hardly wait to see you and give you all great big bear hugs! You are just soooo dear to me...to us. I know it's hard to be without Daddy, but every day that goes by is one day closer to bringing him back home! You guys (girls :) are strong and know what to do...keep busy (not hard to do is it, Tami :), and "keep keepin' on" every day. You're soldiers, too, just like Daddy! I bet he'd tell you, you 3 have the tougher assignment, too.
Sending big hugs all around and, Ana, your blonde buddy sends her usual message: "bigger than the whole world!" Be good and go easy on Keni :) and on your sweet Mommy. :)
Love to Chief Thom's Girls...
Gramma Kathy and gang Cassandra Shaffer – Houston, Texas – 06/10/08 2:03 AM Dear Mr. and Mrs. Wetmore,
I think it is wonderful that Juliana is taking dance classes. I am a dance teacher, and I believe that dancing—especially in the setting of a children's dance classroom—is a positive and healthy (emotionally AND physically) activity for children. I pray for you and for Juliana every day, as I have ever since I first stumbled across an article about her almost a year ago. I feel that God has a lot in store for her down the road ... but in the meantime, I know it is not easy for you (or her), and I will continue to keep your family in my prayers.
God bless always,
cassandra shaffer Federico Iglesias – Buenos Aires, Argentina – 06/09/08 11:09 PM Hello Juliana,
I'm Federico from Argentina, and I knew about you just a few days ago.
I don't find the words to express how grateful I am, for this chance to get to you.
I'm really overwhelmed by your strength, you are the live example that there's ALWAYS hope. Don't you ever let others make you think otherwise. You have strong roots, let them grow!!
Mom and Dad: You have a wonderful little lady! Thanks again for this site and this opportunity to know about her.
Juliana, you have now a new friend, on the other side of the world!
Sincerely,
Federico Alan Darbe – Michigan – 06/09/08 4:11 PM It is great to see you and your sister out and enjoying the things that life has to offer. The two of you continue to show all of us how to live!
(I am amazed at how big the two of you are getting.)
God Bless All of You
Alan valerie vecchione – springfields, pennsyvania – 06/09/08 4:01 PM Hey!
i just LOVE the new pics! My favorite is the one with Juliana on the alligator statue! She is so pretty and she is my official role model! In school we have to map out a trip to Florida, and when we reached Jacksonville, I started freaking out and chatting to all of my friends about you! (even though they're already experts, because I talk about you guys 24-7!) I am getting very exited because as soon as my school lets out I'm going to start to have lemonade stands again for you! Last year was great! I hope this year is better!
Love you guys!
~Val~ Isla Harvey – UK – 06/09/08 12:35 PM Dear Mr and Mrs Wetmore,
I am a journalist working for Barcroft Media UK. We are a press agency that provides news and features for magazines and newspapers internationally.
I am writing an article about Treacher Collins Syndrome and was wondering if you might be able to help.
I saw your website about your little daughter Juliana and thought that your warm family life would be very inspiring for others. I am thrilled that Juliana is doing so well after such a difficult start in life and believe that her story will be of great poignancy to others with the condition, and indeed anyone who has suffered some hardship or disability.
I understand that you took part in a prestigious documentary some years ago and I am sure the viewers would be very pleased to hear about Juliana’s progress after her recent fifth birthday celebrations.
I would like to show how much progress she has made with her school life, dancing classes and all the social activities in her life.
It will be a very positive article and you are welcome to read and amend all text before publication to ensure you’re totally happy with it. If you decide to go ahead I can issue a contract to make our agreement legally binding.
It would involve a friendly interview and some pictures. We would also make a good donation to your family or the charity of your choice to thank you for your time.
Do drop me an email if you are interested or have any questions at all.
I have also sent you a copy of this message in a letter in case this does not reach you.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
Isla Harvey

Barcroft Media Kristi Morris – Abilene, TX – 06/09/08 9:37 AM Love the new pictures!!! :) It is always so much fun watching the kids at the zoo. Mine get so fascinated with all the different animals and feeding them. Although I never had much patience playing putt-putt with the kids :) It always seems to take a couple hours longer than others and we always manage to lose a couple balls along the way-hahahaha!!
Thank you for sharing!!
Lots of love-
Kristi Abigail Aponte Berdejo – Lima- Perú – 06/07/08 5:09 PM Hi Juliana, well I wish the best for you , I really do. I know your a great girl I have been following you story. And I just want to say you are magnificent , your are so strong I admired you, I am sure that you are going to be a great human being, I wish you the best of the world, and keep going like that....your fan from Perú... a lot of kisses for you.....feel free to write me whenever you what, take care girl!!! kisses Andre – Ontario, Canada – 06/07/08 2:20 AM Hey gang,
I always think how hard it must be when your dad is deployed. But what a gang he gets to come home to. Trust me, I'm sure you girls are a treasure he can never wait to come home to. My daughters and I wish you a fun summer vacation, and I will be stopping by your site regularly like always hoping for any new adventure pics! God bless. Katie Sharp – Jacksonville, FL – 06/06/08 9:02 PM Hi Tami, Juliana, and Kendra,
I have been thinking about you lately and finally got a chance to check out the website. Juliana you have grown soooo much since I saw you last!! Tami I am sure it must be challenging to face all the school changes they have put on you. I wish I could be her nurse again. She is so precious and special. I started working in the NICU at Wolfson Children's Hospital in February. I love it! We need to get in touch and schedule a visit to catch up. I will try to call you guys soon.
Lots of hugs and kisses,
Katie (Pedscare RN) Vince – Franklin, WI – 06/06/08 1:03 AM Hey Buddy!
Long time no chat although I still keep constant tabs on your adventures. I started a new job a few months ago and literally work in three cities each month. If you are ever in Milwaukee, Madison or NYC, let me know and we'll do lunch. :)
That is awesome to hear you did some putt putt golf. Golf is a fantastic game and you live in a great state where you can play year round (can you tell I'm green with envy!).
I see you have some changes with Daddy being gone and with school next year. Knowing how strong you are, you will come through with flying colors—that's the Air Force in you!
Have a great start to your summer and have a great flight to IL!
The big e-hug for you!
Vince, Pat and Sophia Kristi Morris – Abilene, TX – 06/05/08 9:27 PM Hey girls! Thank you for the update. I can only imagine how busy it has been and will be this summer at the Wetmore household.
Tami, I can relate a little with your frustration on the changes in Juliana's school life. Even though it is an uphill battle, hang in there! They aren't going to have and obviously don't have Juliana's best interest at heart (they should), but you keep fighting-hang in there.
I'm glad to hear you girls have tons of activities planned and a wonderful trip to visit family. The summer will be over before we know it :(
Sending you lots of love and hugs!!
Sincerely-
Kristi Rick – Canyon Lake, Ca. – 06/05/08 3:55 PM Awesome update Tami!
Sounds like a busy summer ahead.
Thank you for taking the time to keep us up to date.
Take care,
Rick Caroline PALLU – Paris (FRANCE) – 06/05/08 8:07 AM Petite Juliana, je serai aux USA au mois d'Aout pour visiter le Montana et la Wyoming.
Je te fais encore un gros bisou.
Love
Caroline. Caroline PALLU – Paris (FRANCE) – 06/05/08 7:59 AM Coucou Juliana !!
je suis française et j'habite à Paris.
Tu es une petite fille très courageuse et ton papa et ta maman peuvent être fiers de toi.
Je t'attends à Paris pour visiter la Tour Eiffel et manger des glaces.
Je te fais un gros gros gros bisou.
Caroline.
Shiela Shinholster – Woodstock, Ga – 06/05/08 12:22 AM Hi Juliana! It looks like you were having a great time at the Alligator Farm! I've been there too, very cool place.
Tammi, I am so sorry to hear about the change you are having to make with Juliana's nurse. Until a person has been in the position you are in they just do not understand it. I fear that most people who work in the county government in these decision making positions have never been where you are. I speak from experience, and I understand what you are dealing with. I will pray for the best possible outcome for you! Hopefully you will meet her tomorrow morning and your concerns will be put to rest. And kids can surprise us, perhaps Juliana will really take to the new nurse too. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :)
I look forward to reading your posts about your busy summer!
Lots of love,
Shiela Laurie Becker – Wisconsin – 06/04/08 8:54 PM I log on to your website almost every day. Even when there isn't an update, I'm still inspired by your family. You remain in my prayers especially now that your husband is deployed. robyn holmes – Las Vegas – 06/04/08 6:55 PM Both you girls are getting so big, I CANT believe it!!!!
I hope you all have a wonderful summer, filled with tons of fun, then before you know it, daddy will be home! Chase and Logan send a big hello....
Take care,
much love, Robyn and the boys katie – pembroke ontario – 06/04/08 5:59 PM hi julianna how are you im really glad you ok and you gone tru allot and u are very brave
you are a very cute adrable girl nd you sure will have boys comming aftre you!! im only 12 and go to a french school so my english isnt that good! but please take care! Jenni Stone – Moody AFB, Ga – 06/04/08 12:31 PM Hey Ladies,
We understand the deployments. My husband has been gone for 2 months and this is his 7th time. Autumn is 4 and I don't know what she must think, but she is tougher than I am. The mind of a kid is so amazing and truthful I totally love that and wish I could be more like her.
Glad that you are going to keep busy while Thom is gone. Autumn and I are always on the go during deployments. I love that we get quality time together. We are going to be beach bums and pool bums all summer.
Have a safe and fun trip to Il. and enjoy the summer.
We are always blessed by the updates and pictures.
Take Care,
Jenni and Autumn Yvette Rodriguez – Town of Newburgh, NY – 06/04/08 11:38 AM Hey Puddin'—I'm sorry that you girls won't have you daddy for so long. But, I don't think I've ever met such indomitable ladies as you three. It really blows that you're going to have so many changes all at once... but I have this sneaky feeling that you're going to get your revenge. And, I mean that in the most positive way. You will ONCE AGAIN show what you're made of!!!! You humble me my darling and I'm in your corner, now more than ever. Remember...
GO JULIANA GO!!!!!!!!!!!
smooches, Yvette Debbie Gilbride – Roslindale, MA – 06/03/08 3:28 PM Love the new picture so do my kids. They cannot belive what you caught. Good Going! Enjoy your summer!
Kathy Hall – Minooka – 06/03/08 11:35 AM Hey, Babe, HOW ARE YOU? It seems like such a long time since I stopped in to talk to you! Too long!!! I know alot of things are going on in your life right now, Sweet Pea...your house must be hoppin' with activity! ('course when isn't it...right, mommy?! :) I wish I could just drop in with the little blonde and you two could get into some mischief together...well, for now, keep having fun and give Keni a big hug for all the Quirk girls and give Mommy and Daddy big hugs for all of us. We love you "bigger than the whole world", Sweet Girl. :)
Gramma Kathy and Grampa Maynard
Pete and Erica, Meggie, Lindsey, Lauren and Melly Stephane Tremblay – Montreal, Qc – 06/03/08 12:33 AM Your family is an inspiration for the world. There is so much love at work here, it is truly precious that you share you experience like you do. The love and care you show your kids reminds us what humans should be, loving and caring for one another. You are so great. Thank you. Karen Victoria Davenport – New York, NY – 06/02/08 10:40 AM Hi Lovely!
I love seeing you in your ballet clothes. You sure look swell! I can see that you are so graceful in the studio.
I hope you have a great summer!!! Hello to Kendra, Thom, Tammi, Jeanne, and your dog.
Love and Kisses,
Karen Victoria Heidi Falk – Salt Lake City, UT – 05/29/08 12:34 AM Hello Tami! It has been so long since we've spoken back in the days of Bago—I just wanted to drop a line to say HI (: You have such an incredible, beautiful family and it is such a joy to 'see' you again, even if just for a bit over the web! I'm sure you have your hands full with the 2 little ones and summer on the way, but I would love to hear from you any time—my email address is in my login info. Sending all my love from SLC, Utah—Heidi Falk William Heeley – Cobourg, Ontario, Canada – 05/28/08 1:52 AM You are so inspirational to me and so many others.
You are beautiful, and you have made such an impact in so many people's lives at such a young age. Many people will never achieve what you already have in a lifetime. You are wonderful! Kayla – Dallas Tx – 05/24/08 1:51 AM Your story and your life, Juliana, is so inspiring! I went through a lot of medical trama as well, although not nearly as much as you. I was born with a rare genetic liver disease called alpha one anti tripsen defiancy, spelling is off.... anyways it is a terminal illness. i constantly itched for 12 uncontrollable years. then i had a transplant and now, seven years later im doing good. Juliana, you might not look like everyone else but that just makes you more special and unique. You are beautiful just the way you are. God made you how you are for a purpose. You are precious and wonderful. God Bless!!! Lisa, Taylor and Devan – New Jersey – 05/23/08 8:44 PM Hi Juliana ~
My name is Taylor, and I am seven years old. My mommy read me your story. I think you are a very special little girl and I love your name. It is so pretty. I just wanted you to know that I think you are brave and very special. My sister, Devan, and I like Dora too! Have a really nice summer and tell your sister Kendra we say hi.
Love ~
Taylor (and Devan) Sanchez Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, NY – 05/23/08 5:27 PM Hey there Puddin'!!! I miss you guys so much, I can't stand it!!!!!!!!!! I chuckle (outloud) whenever I come across a photo of you & Kendra. You 2 little goobers are crazy, and my Ninja monkeys & I adore you. I think that I could see your (girly) horns poking through your hair in one of them though. You'd better get Keni to gel those down for you so that Mommy only sees your pretty halo!!! Shhhh—she's gonna catch you and I'm not there to distact her my darling! When are you gonna get back up here? I know that Mommy really enjoyed walking all over NYC during rush hour and is eager to ride the subway again! Hey man... at least there are no ALLIGATORS (or TURTLES) down there!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, gotta go—I just saw Ninja monkey #4 (Elias) peek out from where he's supposed to be in QUIET time!!!!!
smooches, Yvette
Regina – Florence, SC – 05/22/08 4:55 PM I first leaned about Juliann when I moved to Jacksonville in 2004. I kept up with her progress while I lived there by watching First Coast News and the newspaper. Since moving to Florence a few years ago, I kept up through the news channel's website and am so happy to have found this website. She is an inspiration to all! I have never met her personally, but just "knowing" her from a distance is still an inspiration to me. She was truly sent to this earth as a living angel! God Bless her and her family. Jacqui Norman – Norfolk, UK – 05/21/08 5:12 PM I just found out about Treacher Collins today and, as a result, I heard about you Juliana. I just had to say Hi, and God bless. You are a wonderful and beautiful little girl and I will be visiting your site and praying for you from now on. God bless you and your family, and just you keep on dancing darling—you are an inspiration.
With lots of love to you and your family, Jacqui xxxx Jenni Stone – Moody AFB Ga – 05/21/08 1:06 PM Hello Juliana and family,
Hope that you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.
God Bless
Jenni and Autumn paul kerr – 05/20/08 4:40 AM Hi there,

Elisabetta – Genoa-Italy – 05/19/08 5:39 AM I discovered this site yesterday, it's very nice...but JULIANA IS GREAT!!!!!!!

Elisabetta :-) Lucas Brandao – Brazil – 05/18/08 6:12 PM I'm a psychologist and saw you, Juliana, in some videos at youtube. You have a beautiful name! My sister is called Mariana, sounds alike, doesn't it? Please tell your parents I'm glad to see your story.
Sometimes it's hard to let go of prejudices we all have. Thank you. valerie vecchione – springfield, pa – 05/16/08 6:19 PM hi!

~Val~ Yvette Rodriguez – N.Y. Estados Unidos – 05/09/08 10:30 AM A todos los amigos de Juliana que mandan sus mensajes carinosos aqui en Espanol, le quiero decir que yo soy una amiga de Tami. Disculpame me por no ecribir todo corecto, pero yo entiendo lo que ustedes le escriban. Siempre le digo a Tami (la Mama de Juliana) lo que an dichos ustedes!
Carinosamente, Yvette Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, NY – 05/09/08 10:17 AM Hey there my yummy little dumpling!! Man oh man...you get so many people to fall in love with you. How do you do that!?!?!? Ah, why do I even ask? I surrendered to you a long time ago. What are you and sissy up to, into and on about today? Actually, I have a feeling I know. Ha ha—you're making Mommy crazy (I'm singing that in a "nah nah—nah nah nah" kind of way). I just wish that I lived next door to you so that I could see her trying to find the latest thing that you've "lost". What are you? A NORMAL kid or something!?!?
Actually... how could I forget? You and sissy are SMARTER than most!!!

Love and kisses to you and Kendra. Bo Yang – Vancouver – 05/01/08 7:52 AM Dear Juliana, sorry I did not post this comment in time for your birthday (it's in March right?). I heard about your story on the internet, and I just wanted to say HI, and to let you know that you are a very special little girl, a popular celebrity on the internet :) Take care and I hope you enjoyed your 5th birthday!
Bo Yang :) Kristopher Benson – Seeattle, WA – 05/01/08 12:12 AM Hello from Seattle. A few years back my mother had me watch something that she had taped for me. Not really sure what I was about to see, fast forwarded through the commercials, there was this story of a girl with no face. I watched her loving family do the best they could to give her a better life. Then i got to know little Juliana and i got to watch her grow and learn and progress through that video. It wasn't until the end of it that my mother told me that we were kind of related. My mother was adopted by a family in IL and that those children who became her sisters were in fact cousins of yours, Tammy. It's so good to hear and see that Juliana is doing so well. She's got such beautiful hair. I'm glad that she gets to play sports with her sister too. I think ballet is a great activity for her as well. That's all I have time to write for now. I'm glad I found this page. Take care. ~Kristopher julieta – Argentina – 04/30/08 9:55 PM Hello Juliana!!
I knew you by the news of a newspaper of my country.
I am shocked because of your history and really impressed by the force that you had to went through all those operations.
You are a wonderful girl with a spectacular family!!
Loves!!
(sorry for my english...) Lianne – Ohio – 04/30/08 6:41 PM Hey Juliana,
Bow do you look sooooooooo cuuuuttttteeeee standing at the bar!
TAMI: I am sorry that Thom is being deployed soon, but I know that you will keep the house running:-) Juliana is so pretty and cute.
Keep up the great job of updating here adn there when you get a chance. I know that you are busy adn that Thom helps you out when he can. When he's not there I am sure it'll be harder. I read the update a long time ago but I just haven't had time to sign/write in the guestbook.
Lianne Arpil 30th, 2008 6:41 PM melissa – illinois – 04/30/08 5:18 PM to clarify my last message i meant to say that parents who have children with this disorder i hope they are able to give their child the same love and courage that you and your husband and family have given to juliana.
juliana you have such a beautiful name. in french is means youthful, down-haired, and gentle. it was also the name of the Queen of Netherlands and early christian saints.
It is also a type of butterfly found in Brazil to the southern states of america. It has a bright orange color. Orange would look beautiful on you.
Have a great day! Maria Farina – 04/30/08 3:57 PM Hola Juliana, las vi una vez a vos y a tu mama en el hospital de Miami Queria felicitar a tus papis, por la fuerza que tienen para cuidarte, son un ejemplo de vida y de amor. Muchisimos exitos para que puedas ponerte lo mejor posible!! Te mandamos muchas fuerzas! melissa – southern illinois – 04/29/08 9:26 PM I just want to say God bless to your family!
Your daughter is such a blessing and she is very very lucky to have parents like you. You have never given up on her.
I can see in her eyes the love and happiness that she has received. She has a lot of confidence and is such a doll.
I have never heard of this condition before. I hope and pray that other children with this disorder give their child the love you have given juliana.
Thank you for opening my eyes and showing me that there really is a God. Adriana Segade – Buenos Aires, Argentina – 04/29/08 7:23 PM Hi, beautiful family!!
I´m very impressed by Juliana´s story.
I never had heard about this syndrome, so thank you for let me know about this, with such a kind of love and tenderness.
You are very brave people.
To see her and her sister is to see trully love.
You have made it very well, keep on going.
All the best for you and a big kiss to Juliana and Kendra, two wonderful girls. María Laura – Argentina – 04/29/08 6:52 PM Hi Wetmores!!
I heard your history from the news today...
Let me introduce myself: my name is María Laura and I live in Argentina.. I'm 23 years old, I'm a college studient and I work from monday to friday for a Company. I've studied english for almost 8 years... I hope I make myself clear...
This message is for Juliana...
Juliana, don't ever regret of being here, with us... you were blessed with the most beautiful gift in the whole world: to live... to have the opportunity to learn, fight and love through the rest of your life... to meet people from all over the planet and make new friends...
Surely there would be persons that would try to let you down... but we all are surrounded by them... I know persons that would love to see me depressed or some...
But you must be sure about something: you'll always have your parent's love, who sincerely loved you since the first moment, your present and future family's love, your friend's love, your future's work partners love... And that's all you'll need....
Just like what The Beatles said once... "All you need is love"...
Wishing the best for you and those who love you,

Martin monica – pilar- bs as argentina – 04/29/08 1:02 AM Juliana: I'm really glad to know you; you are an angel!!! and the best child in the world!! I'm sure that nobody loves life like you!!! Claudio Oddone – Turku, Finland – 04/29/08 12:22 AM My dear Juliana,
I cannot stop my tears while I am writing this letter from the bottom of my soul, but my tears are not of sadness, my tears are filled of emotion of knowing that there is such a beautiful and special person like you, full of an amazing strength and qualities.
I am sure that God had placed a special guardian angel to you and she will lead you for ever, please keep on in this way, you are admirable!!!
And you parents… you are the most sublime example of love and dedication on Earth… please never give up, there are many people that were touched by your story and won’t never let you down. Juliana will be always in my prayers, so do my kids and family.
Even I don’t know you in person Juliana, I feel a special love for you and if ever some day I go to US (I am an Argentinean who lives in Finland), I badly like to meet you and share some time with you and my kids, so you can play and dance together!
My heart is beating with no control and it is quite difficult to express what I am feeling, but be sure I love you all!!! Please take care, with my best regards
Claudio Oddone Lara Petersen – Riverside, CA – 04/29/08 12:18 AM I saw a show about you on Sunday. I have been thinking about you ever since. I know I will check your site often to see how you are progressing. You are about the same age as my daughter Emily, so I think I have a tender spot for you in my heart. I think you have a beautiful smile in the picture of "Thing 1 and Thing 2" with your sister Kendra. What a brave little girl you must be. God bless you and all your family!! Hugo Brunetta – Buenos Aires, Argentina – 04/28/08 11:18 PM Querida Juliana,
Lamento mucho no escribirte en inglés, pero se que lo entenderás de todas maneras porque los idiomas no los inventó Dios.
Hoy supe de vos por un diario y me sentí muy mal por no saber como podríamos ayudarte, por eso escribo esta nota, porque de algún modo se que la presencia de cada uno de los que te escriben mensajes te dará fuerzas para continuar peleando.
Solo deseo que seas felíz !!!
Espero poder conocerte algún día y darte un abrazo.. Hugo Marcelo – Argentina – 04/28/08 10:34 PM Hi, my name is marcelo, and i read a newspaper in argentina, and could see an article about juliana.
i don't have words to express my feelings...i don't understand why such things happens to kids..but sometimes, i think that happens because they have an angel at their backs..so, they can break any walls, because they have a strong and warm heart..
i think juliana have a beatiful inside, and god will sometimes work very weird, but always he know why make this..
you are great and loving parents, and i think your sons feel a lot of unconditional love for you..
in this moment, i feel sad but touched by your history..and i said, don't loose your strength!!..fight against all..
i send all my love and my prayers for juliana, kendra and for you..
god bless you.. ka – Agentina – 04/28/08 10:29 PM Juliana, you are a example for a lot of people, sorry for my english. keep fighting!!!!!

I heard about Juliana through a friend. She sent me this site and immediately I entered it. I'm amazed about her story and proud to know that she has such a loving family. I don't consider myself a very religious person (i'm supposed to be catholic) but i truly believe that God is with you and that He sent you this beautiful person for a reason. Tell Juliana that she's really famous now!!! Even in some remote place we know about her!!! Eliana and Julio Vila from Argentina – Buenos Aires – 04/28/08 7:03 PM Sorry, but it is really difficult for me write in English. Please, if you let me. I have to tell you that, in first place you have a gorgeous baby in your life, and you are doing the best act of love that can be done.
Your souls are so big....
For me it is easy to tell you: Do not give up. but I wish happiness and success with your family.
Do not forget to say to Juliana that she is really beautiful for me and my family, please answer me when you can.
Julio E. Vila Kate Okamoto – New York, NY – 04/28/08 5:13 PM Hello Juliana and Family!
I have a 7 year old cousin who was also born with TCS, who lives in Japan. She saw your website and wants very badly to see the TLC program of her "friend" Juliana as she has gone through many operations herself and identifies deeply with the stories of other TCS kids around the world. Is there any way to get a copy of the program to send her? Or do you know when it will show on TLC again?
Thank you so much for sharing Juliana's story with the world, it makes such a difference for families like ours and in educating the public about TCS and how resilient and beautiful girls like Juliana are. Daniel – Argentina – 04/28/08 4:26 PM God bless Beautiful Juliana and her family. Ariana – Buenos Aires, Argentina – 04/28/08 3:50 PM Hi! I just wanted to say hi to you and to let you know how far your story has reached. In today's newspaper I learnt about your daughter's case and it really caught my attention...
I admire your strengh... Juliana is very lucky of having parents like you... I'm with you from Argentina... never stop fighting... God is with you as well...
Love for you all... Melissa Taiclet – Jacksonville, Florida – 04/28/08 3:44 PM Good afternoon! I was reading through your update and noticed your concerns for Juliana being at a new school and your husband leaving. I am a teacher in your county and I will be teaching her class next year. If you would like to meet before he leaves, I would love to do so. Hope to hear from you.
Melissa Taiclet Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, NY – 04/28/08 3:27 PM Hey there my precious little monkey!
I'm always blown away when I check your site. How many souls have you touched, sassy girl? I love the picture of you in your dance class. I wish that the Discovery channel would do a follow up on you. Then all of your well wishers and supporters could enjoy how ridiculously adorable you and your classmates are in kindergarten and dance school. And...they could all appreciate how you've mastered saying "UH UH!", you know to match that fiesty NO NO NO head shake. You slay me when you do that!
I love you to infinity and BEYOND!!
Yvette Gabriela – Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA – 04/28/08 2:44 PM Today in an important newspaper from Argentina, I meet Juliana's case—http://www.clarin.com/diario/2008/04/28/conexiones/t-01659142.htm.

God Bless You and Your Family
Alan Sherrell – Burleson, TX – 04/28/08 11:34 AM What an amazing child! Thank you so much for sharing your story. Not only was the recent show an eye opener to this condition, it is an eye opener to the wonder and beauty of this child and your family. Juliana sounds like she will be a forced to be reckoned with as she grows older. (must be that second child thing—my daughter is the same way!) Hang in there. They get worse as they get older! But what fun they are. Her strong will and determination will carry her through life. Would you really have it any other way? My prayers and thoughts are with you. Enjoy every moment with you two beautiful girls! rosanna – Miami, FL – 04/28/08 11:06 AM Hello I'm Rosanna from Miami, and I'm really happy to see how Juliana's Drs are doing a great effort and excellent job to make her wonderful little person be as she's by inside. I saw the program last Friday at Discovery Channel and just want to tell you that I'm very very happy to se her progress and that you have all my support for anything you need and my bless for that beautiful and wonderful girl you have. My best regards and affection for you, and the four of you. Thanks for sharing your story,
LOVE Rosanna. Gabriela – Buenos Aires, Argentina – 04/28/08 11:02 AM Hi Tami and Thom, I have just read your story at the local newspaper and it moved me deeply.
Sometimes one takes things for granted, like having healthy children, or complaint about such stupid things!
I hope you have the necessary strength to overcome this (I know you will, sons and daughters gives us the strenght we didn´t know we had to go through hard times...) and I will pray for Juliana to get better everyday.
I have an eleven year old daughter named Barbara (she also likes Hannah Montana and believe it or not, she still watches Dora every time she has the chance!!!) and I really admire you a lot, you might think that anyone in your shoes would have done the same but we all know that is not so...
Lots of love for all of your family and all the best in the world from someone far away!!!
Huge kiss for Juliana!!
ps. your older daughter is awesome! it must be hard for her too and she seems to be such a great big sister!!! Paula Gorin – Buenos Aires-Argentina – 04/28/08 10:33 AM Hi, Wetmore family!
My name is Paula and I'm from Buenos Aires Argentina, I've just read about Juliana in a local newspaper. It's very amazing the way that she is progressing and the support taht she seems to receive from all over the world. Evrything I read really reached my heart, I've just become a mom and Valentina (my baby) is about to be one year old. I hope everything turns ok for Juliana, in fact it already has as, from the pictures I've seen, she is carrying a five-year-old lifestyle. She seems very special and I hope I have your and her strength through out Valentina's life.
You have a fan in Argentina,
I'm not much of a prayer, but I'll pray for her well being.
Bye
Paula Jesica Durán – Argentina – 04/28/08 10:10 AM My name is Jesica and I am very surprised for this life story. All of you are very brave. You are an example to follow. We should all be as strong and as beautiful as you. Best!!! Graciela – Mar del Plata, Argentina – 04/28/08 10:08 AM Querida familia Wetmore:

Dios los bendiga Hoy y Siempre ! Silvina Brizuela – Argentina – 04/28/08 9:09 AM Dear Kendra,
I have just discovered the story of your beloved sister Juliana and now I think of you. God blesses you Kendra!, and feel sure that He will reward you for all the love and patience that you have to your little sister. You are a GREAT person and I admire you, as well as your parents and sister.

Silvina Pablo La Rosa – Mar del Plata-Buenos Aires-Argentina – 04/28/08 8:49 AM Estimada familia, quiero expresarles mi mas sincero respeto y admiracion, vi su historia en un diario de mi pais, me llego mucho su historia de amor.
Para la pequeña Juliana, es un sol un Angel, cuando vi uno de los videos, caminando tan dulce se me cayeron las lagrimas, los niños realmente lo movilizan a uno, son lo mas grande que tenemos, yo tengo dos hijos, Valentino 5 y Bautista 3, que son mi vida, Juliana, tenes 3 nuevos amigos, que te pensaremos y enviaremos buena onda, te deseamos toda la felicidad del mundo a vos y a tu familia, especialmente para tu pequeña hermanita otro solcito.
Un beso enorme para todos con todo el amor de mi corazon.
Pablo. Martin Linares – Bs As Argentina – 04/28/08 2:50 AM No se si podran comprenderme.
Es un verdadero acto de valentia y amor. Un acto de fotaleza familiar.
Mucha fuerza Juliana y felicitaciones!!!!!!!! Charles – Argentina – 04/28/08 2:02 AM I cry because I try to understand God´s plan...but it´s so hard sometimes...I see your little girl and I couldn´t imagine myself half the strong she is....I see a beatiful girl in an ugly world...but then I realize that we all can make it a better place for the kids. I cry because I know we are selfish sometimes....we are worried about meaningless things but can´t be able to to do anything to change it. I really admire Juliana. I admire you Juliana Parents. Keep going and never give up....people like you makes me feel so insignificant. maybe someday I have so much love in my heart as you have. My best wishes for your family and let juliana know that here, she has a friend who will pray for her and every kid in the world. Debbie Fields – Crofton, MD – 04/27/08 10:12 PM We also saw your Discovery Health Channel feature yesterday evening. We enjoyed "meeting" your family and your beautiful daughters. Our little girl just turned two, the same age as Juliana when she was filmed. I was amazed how similar their personalities are.
May God bless your family! We prayed for you for all the surgical interventions you must undergo.
Debbie Fields, for Ken & Lisa also Jessica Haber – Pembroke Pines, Fl – 04/27/08 9:05 PM My family & I watched the show last night and again today. I have to tell you your family is so brave and you have so much love for your girls. I will have your family in my prayers. I'm happy to find a web site to see Juliana's progress. You have two beautiful and amazing little girls and I wish you the best of luck with them both.
Jessica, Wes, Kailey, Kerstin, & Wesley Jr. Leanne – Altoona, PA – 04/27/08 9:02 PM Hello!
I watched your story about a year ago. Then last night the continuation was on (Building Juliana's Face). I am so inspired and happy to hear your story. Not that I am happy that you all have to go through the pain, but happy about the way you all are.
I am a special education teacher, and I come accross many who are so mean to kids that are different. Many do not see the beauty or intelligence, only the disability.
I see children in my classroom, not retarded or disabled. And I know that is how you see your angel. She is a cutie pie. I have a 5 year old boy who is a handful, and it seems you have a handful too.
I was so glad to see that you have a site with updated pics. She has come so far, it is amazing!!!
Keep the faith! You are an awesome family.
Take Care!
Leanne Rachael Lawson – Nashville, TN – 04/27/08 8:09 PM Hello Wetmore family!!! I just saw your family for the first time last night on tv. I so admire the strength of your little girl, Juliana. She is a beautiful, darling, little girl. My goodness how God has blessed your life with Juliana and through you, have blessed me. I look forward to watching all the progress Juliana will be going through. My prayers are with you all! She has touched my heart as each of you have.
Rachael Lawson Denise – East Windsor NJ – 04/27/08 6:03 PM Hello Juliana and Family,
I saw your show on the Discovery Health Channel last night. I wanted to let you know that you and your family are in my prayers. I said a prayer for you last night before I went to bed. I'm so happy that your Mommy posted the website.. that way we can see your progress. I'm so proud of you and please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
You are truly an angel and an inspiration to us all. :)
Love,
Aunt Denise, Hope, Colin, Emily, Laszlo, Lorant and Bella. Loreen Pantaleone – Robbinsville NJ – 04/27/08 1:52 PM Last night, I had the most wonderful luck of seeing Juliana's show. As most people were, I was at first concerned about how the show was going to finish. As the program progressed, my heart welled with so much joy at how Juliana's life is blossoming.
Going on the website today, it just furthers the joy of seeing the photos that you so graciously post for the rest of use who are too far away to see her daily progressions and regular "kid stuff".
Now that she's five, and REALLY asserting herself, I can't help but snicker at the visuals of her kicking your shin.
Most people in this world stop and judge by what they see, rather than what they SHOULD see. Juliana is bright, beautiful and going to keep you on your toes.
Congratulations to you both for raising two beautiful young ladies. :)
Debra Houke – St. Charles, Missouri – 04/27/08 11:58 AM Dear Wetmore Family,
I was channel surfing last night and came across Juliana's story, which I'd seen previously. My husband was with me and had watched the for the first time. He was very touched by Juliana's journey. So here I am surfing the net to see if you had a site logging Juliana's progress. I was so happy to see you had a site and thilled to see Juliana's nose! God bless you all and I will keep you all in my prayers! Deb Harper – Arkansas – 04/27/08 11:49 AM WoW. What incredible spirit your entire family has! Janet Sovich – Baltimore, MD – 04/27/08 10:16 AM Dear Juliana and Family,
I am in awe at your courage, spirit, and love. You are such a tremendous inspiration! I will continue to visit your site, keep you in my prayers, and look up to your example in my own life.
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your story. I feel just seeing the tv show on you will make me a better parent to my own girls.
With great love and compassion,
Janet Sovich Tonja Hetrick – Parkville, MD – 04/27/08 9:51 AM Hi Sweetie! Just popping in to say I saw you on tv again last night, and was noticing just how far you've come since the video was made. You've grown so much, are doing so much more, and there's an adorable nose blossoming on your face now! Also, I love the new website... much better than the older ones. I know it's been a while, but I'm just now getting around to telling you so. :-) I'm slow! Anyway, enjoy the Spring weather, and keep on growing where you're planted! All God's flowers are beautiful, both the rooted kind and the two legged kind!
Say "Hi" to your "party" nurse!
Love and hugs,
Tonja

Page name: SpiderBen Sandra Bauer – Virginia Beach VA – 04/27/08 9:42 AM Dear Wetmores, I will make this short since I get distracted easily! While waiting for the password to be sent, I wasted time on the internet and now I am having to hurry.
Thank you for the wonderful web page.
I saw the show about Juliana last night on DiscoveryHealth. I was very moved and I'm so happy she is doing well and that I can follow her progress on this web page.
I am a school nurse at an elementary school. I am 59 but will probably be working the rest of my life! I am almost finished with my first Master's degree course that is funded by a grant from the Special Ed. Dept. The grant is about Low Incidence Disabilities in the schools. So, I was very interested in your family as a mother and as a school nurse. I just wanted you to know that.
I most certainly understand if you don't have time to keep up this page frequently. Please know that I will keep up with it as I can and that you have another person praying for you, and Juliana and her family have another fan. Daniela Tallard – Madison, Wisconsin – 04/27/08 1:26 AM Dear Wetmore Family,
I am touched by little Juliana's journey and it is so wonderful to hear how far she has come. She is a strong girl—she must have that from her parents. Blessings to your wonderful daughters and your family! melisa pacheco – Chihuahua, Mexico – 04/27/08 12:31 AM Hola! vi a Juliana en el discovery Channel, me conmueve mucho ver su historia, al igual que toda mi familia. Yo no tengo aun la fortuna de ser madre aun. Admiro a ustedes sus padres que tienen el amor, la paciencia y el compromiso total con sus hijas, especialmente con Juliana. Los admiro porque son unos padres ejemplares y deseo con todo mi corazon que Dios los bendiga. Tienen una nena hermosa, que ha sido muy fuerte. Son afortunados de tener un angel pues Dios los esta poniendo a prueba porque solo a las personas que tienen sentimientos tan grandes como ustedes lo tienen, un corazon tan valiente, son dignas de admirarse y de ganar el cielo. Deseo con todo mi corazon, aunque ustedes no me conozcan, como yo muchas personas desde que conocimos a esta familia, estara en nuestras oraciones. Te mando un beso Juliana, y a su hermanita tambien =)
Dios esta con ustedes!!! Rachel Boudreaux – mandeville, louisiana – 04/27/08 12:24 AM Hi i just finished watching Juliana story on discovery health she is truly an amazing and beautiful little girl and is very blessed her story has really touched me. I have two little girl of my own one is 19 months and one is 7 months and they are everything too me Juliana reminded me of my oldest annabelle. But i just wanted to say she is a wonderful little girl and has a very loving family. she truly is amazing and god bless
forever touched,
Rachel Catherine Cooper – La Mesa, CA – 04/27/08 12:23 AM I just finished watching the story of your family and precious Juliana on Discovery Health and felt compelled to send you a quick note and tell you how touching your story is.
I have two children with a rare and terminal genetic disorder called Hurler Syndrome. My oldest is 7 and my youngest is 2 and they both have it. My oldest has many disfigurements but I have learned that true beauty is on the inside. Because of this realization, I am in the beginning stages of starting a trach tie company to help individuals with trachs show their personality.
Juliana is a true gift from GOD. May GOD continue to bless you and your entire family and carry Juliana through her journey while here on earth. joey – somerset pa – 04/27/08 12:16 AM hello first i just wanted to say how brave juliana and all of you are to have to go through the pain of the surgerys and everything youve had to endure since youve had this little blessing. im also a parent and i just wanted to say how awesome you guys are for sharing and educating everyone about julianas condition also she truly does have a wonderful support sytem including big sis and mom and dad and can i just say how wonderful the doctors have been doing. thanks again for sharing your story. god bless your family Misty Honey – Bossier City, LA – 04/27/08 12:14 AM I have watched the transformation, and it is amazing! Juliana, you are such a beautiful person. I will have a spot for you all in my prayers.
Misty Angie Didion – New Braunfels, TX – 04/27/08 12:10 AM I saw Juliana's story on television. When I saw Juliana, I saw a very special and beautiful little girl that God created to share with this world. I am thankful to have seen her story and have learned of such an amazing little girl. She's absolutely precious. Laura – Houston, TX – 04/27/08 12:08 AM I just wanted to tell you and your family just how brave y'all are. God bless you. I'll be keeping you in my prayers.
Love,
The Montgomerys Connie Davis – Falls Church, VA – 04/26/08 11:55 PM Have watched with great interest the transformation and growth of Juliana. What a cute-pie, and more than that, what a spirit! Love her spunk! Great things are in store for this little girl. How lucky for her that she was born to you so that she could have the amazing advantages she has had, and the love and devotion she deserves. Bravo to all the Wetmores! Charlene Follis – The Woodlands, TX – 04/26/08 11:44 PM Juliana you are inspiring and you are a very lucky girl to have two wonderful, loving parents and a loving sister.
I think you are going to make a wonderful dancer and would love to see some video of a recital in the near future.
I am watching the special with you as the star(and of course your Mommy,Daddy and Sister) and I think this is one of the best Discovery shows I have watched. alice broscheid – phoenix, az – 04/26/08 11:36 PM I can see from the other posts that others have felt their hearts swell with love for Juliana as they watch the discovery health documentary. I stare at my lovely two-month old baby and I know to my core that I would love and adore him no less had he been born looking like Juliana. Despite all the challenges that I am sure sometimes bring you to your knees, know that your precious daughter has something remarkable to offer the world, and touches complete strangers and changes their hearts and lives for the better just by being her sweet self. Be blessed.
Love,
Alice Alex – Boston, MA – 04/26/08 11:18 PM From Tanya & Alex
We just want you to have good luck with everything and anything, with all your surgeries and everything thats going on in your life. You look like the sweetest, bravest little girl and we are very proud of you. We hope everything goes great in the future and hope you have a wonderful summer!
And to Mommy, we hope you have fun this summer with your two angels! Heather Henderson – Keystone Heights, Florida – 04/26/08 9:47 PM To the Wetmore Family,
May God continue to bless you and your children. Your daughters are beautiful! I am so thankful to have been blessed to see how strong your faith is in the life of your little one. I am a teacher of students with profound disabilities in Keystone Heights, Florida- just south of Orange Park. I saw your family's story on the Discovery Health channel tonight, was amazed to find you were in Florida, and even more amazed that you are less than an hour away! I just wanted to say to you Mrs. Tami, Mr. Thom, and Nurse Jeanne, THANK YOU! You have come so far, and your testimony has reached the world over! I thank God and will continue to pray for you and your family!
Heather Emilie D'Agostino – Laguna Hills, California – 04/26/08 9:27 PM You look pretty in your dance outfit
Have fun dancing
Emilie D'Agostino Becky Jenkins – McDonough Georgia – 04/26/08 9:21 PM Hi Juliana, I wanted to let you know that your story has touched my heart and to tell you that you have renewed my spirit of hope. I have a 2 year old grand daughter that lives with me and I always worry about her growing up and being ok. You have shown me just how strong little girls can be. You will always have a place in my heart!
Your new friend,
Becky Evelyn S. – New York - Westchester – 04/26/08 9:17 PM I forgot to say...Happy Belated Birthday! (",) Marianne Young – Langhorne, PA – 04/26/08 9:14 PM Juliana,
My husband and I just watched the show about you. You are an amazingly strong little girl. You've come a long way and we are so happy to see all your progress.
You have a very loving family and it's easy to see why you are so loving, because you are so loved!
Our prayers will be with you and your family that you can keep growing and learning and experiencing all life has to hold. God bless you all.
~Marianne & Ed Young Evelyn S. – New York - Westchester – 04/26/08 9:14 PM I just saw Juliana on Discovery Health...Juliana is a beautiful little soul..She is a special gift to your family from God.
I was so happy to read that she is in dance class now..
Take care sweet angel...
Miss. Evelyn Heidi – Everett, Ma – 04/26/08 8:19 PM Hi, I'm watching "Building Juliana's Face" for the third (I think) time but I don't get tired of it. It's fascinating how she was treated but that's not why I am writing. I'm writing because whenever I have watched it, I have been struck how beautiful Juliana actually is. Her personality really comes across and she makes me laugh. I suppose most people would call me crazy but she actually seems more beautiful than most people I know. I think it's her joy. Actually now that I think about it, it may be her innocence. I have a new born kitten and she is innocent too. I named the kitten after my mother who passed away in December. I really miss her and tend to cry alot. But Juliana has the innocence that my kitten has. The kitten's name is Miss Dolly and she is ten weeks old. But I really like how Juliana doesn't even seem to let things get to her. I'm epileptic and she is an example to me. I wish I could be as happy as her and keep that going.
Thanks for your time and for sharing her story.
Heidi A. Dietrich J. King – 04/25/08 4:13 PM Your little Juliana is quite the beautiful little ballerina! So sweet! Lauren – Indiana – 04/25/08 1:46 PM Hi, I'm a 22 year old college student and I first saw Juliana's show last year. I just wanted to let you know that I am so inspired by your family. I am so glad that Juliana is living such a happy life and I hope that she can continue to thrive as she grows older. But I know how harsh and ignorant people can be to those who are different so I pray for you and your family to be strong and remember that you are loved by many. You guys are such a wonderful inspiration and I plan to visit your website to read about updates often! I don't know you, but I love your family and
Juliana! :-) God bless you! Rick – CANYON LAKE, CA. – 04/25/08 3:18 AM JUST A QUICK REMINDER!!!
JULIANA'S ORIGINAL SHOW WILL AIR ON DISCOVERY HEALTH CHANNEL ON APRIL 26, 2008.
TIMES ARE 8PM AND 11PM EST /
5PM AND 8PM PAC.
Rick – CANYON LAKE, CA. – 04/25/08 3:14 AM Hi precious!
Sounds like your adventures continue. How nice to hear an update. You know we depend on hearing all about you as often as we can so thank you and your mommy for taking the time to write.
I am looking forward to your next post.
Love always,
Rick Rebekah D. Needham – California – 04/24/08 3:00 AM I meant to also say that I can tell Kendra is a wonderful big sister! I pray for her as well as Julianna, because I know sometimes it can be hard for the healthy sibling when Mommy and Daddy need to give so much attention to the special needs child. It looks like you are doing a good job making sure Kendra gets her needs met too, and that's great! I hope those two will always be best friends! Alvin Phair – Northern Ireland – 04/23/08 9:14 PM Wow, doesnt Juliana look fantastic in her wee outfit! Thanks Tami for the update, the part about Juliana's tantrums echoes around every home, its a memory that sweetens with age as the little tike's grow up.
Glad to see that Juliana does so well in her schools!!! proves that despite her mischievous behaviour at home Juliana has a strong capability to attract a lot of genuine friends.
God Bless you all, Alvin & Family X0X0X
Rebekah D. Needham – California – 04/23/08 2:12 PM God Bless you, Thom and Tami
Your love and care for Julianna are an inspiration! I am sure God is pleased with your tender loving care of this child which He has entrusted to you. Although the details are different, my family has much in common with yours. My dad is retired Navy, and one of my sisters is severely disabled. Do you have a private message feature, so I can tell you more?
Blessings, Rebekah BloodyMary – Croatia – 04/23/08 1:32 PM heya!
good to see everything is fine!
give a big kiss to juliana from me!
marina xoxo Sheila Mohler – Miami Shores Florida – 04/22/08 7:23 AM Hello everyone,
Looks as the year is going by fast
Juliana in dancing that's great
Sheila :> Kathy Hall – Minooka – 04/21/08 4:24 PM Hey, my feisty, little Sweet Pea, how are you?! Giving your mommy a "run for her money", I hear. :) I think you need to come out to the country (specifically, Illinois country :) and run off some of that energy!!! What do you think? Does that sound like fun? You and Lauren and Melly would have so much fun (Mel's really getting good at the sign language now, too, just like her big sister...did you hear? She's going to have "ears", too, just like you and your buddy, Lauren. :) And Lindsey and Meghan and Keni will keep each other busy. Well, put a bug in mommy's ear (well, not really!!!) and maybe we'll see you this summer, Sweet Pea. Love you "bigger than the whole world"! from all of us and hugs all around...daddy, too! :).
Gramma Kathy and the gang valerie vecchione – springfield, PA – 04/17/08 7:55 PM HEY!
I have something to tell you guys! In school this week I completed a math logo assignment! What does that have to do with you? EVERYTHING! Sorry if I come off a little hyper, I am just so nervous for one of my pets, but that doesn't matter. Anyways, I decided to make a logo for you, Juliana. I figured your so special everyone should know how much I respect you and your family. I will mail you the logo to you as soon as I can.
~Val~ Alvin Phair – Northern Ireland – 04/16/08 10:33 PM Hi, Our Wee Angel & Family! Just popping in to ask Mammy to post an update as soon as she can find a few stolen minutes peace! Really looking forward to reading about your recent adventures.
All our love, Alvin & Family X0X0X0X Cherie Capps – MSU, Murray, KY – 04/15/08 8:30 PM My daughter saw me looking at this page and wanted to e-mail Juliana, I let her type her message below.

Ps: I dont know too much english but what I write a write from the heart! :) Cherie Capps – Murray State University, Murray KY – 04/15/08 3:12 PM I think you have a GREAT family. Your story is so inspirational. I am a undergraduate student in Speech Language Pathology and we have been watching Juliana's story. All of us find your story amazing and we look foward to updates. Charity Villines – Portland, Oregon – 04/15/08 1:36 PM I just wanted to let you know that i was really inspired by Juliana's story. i am currently going through Nursing School and we are required to do a report once a month. Well i chose Juliana. I am amazed how medicine has come so far, and i know it will continue to get even better. I was extremely thrilled to find out you had a website to see updates. I will continue to see how you progress through the years. God bless and have a wonderful year. Kathy Hall – Minooka, IL – 04/14/08 5:48 PM Hey, my little Sweet Pea! I've missed talking to you so much...but never, ever thinking about you! :) That I do every single day. Lauren and I wonder what you're up to all the time! Dancin' and playin' and hangin' out with dolphins! You sure do interesting things! As for us here in Illinois, it's just starting to warm up around here...the sun might actually come out tomorrow, enough to make it so Lauren and her sisters can go outside and play, swing on the swings, and ride bikes. Wish you could be here, too. Maybe this summer, Peanut...you and Sissy. Well, I just wanted to say, "Hi and Love you!" to everybody...give your Mama a great big hug and your Daddy, too...and for sure, one to Keni and Nurse Jeanne. Keep "keepin' on", my sweet girl. And as Lauren says, we love you, "bigger than the whole world", my darling Ana...you're all in my prayers.
Gramma Kathy :)
Sayaka Brandl – Germany – 04/14/08 4:18 PM A big hug and kisses from Germany!
I'm a mom of a 19-month-old girl. This is my first visit to this website and it looks that there are a lot of photos and stories to catch up with!!!
I like your dress (the photo you're sitting with your sister on one chair) by the way!
Kisses
Saya xxx Juli Nave – East TN – 04/14/08 2:02 PM I can't believe how big Juliana is now! I'm also jealous of her meeting a whale.
Much love to your girls!
-Juli valerie vecchione – springfield, PA – 04/13/08 7:33 PM Hey Juliana and family,
I just thought I'd say hi and just remind you that our family is always in my prayers. I literally will spend half the day praying for you guys. (exept for when I need to pay attention in school!) Sleep tight everyone!
~Val~ Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, NY – 04/10/08 9:26 PM Hey Puddin', whatcha wearin'? You're such a little dolly and I miss you all so much. I just laugh when I think of you handing me that dress Mommy bought you to play dress up with. I love that you truly went to the supermarket wearing it!!! And then of course, in true Juliana form, when you got home, you had me help you into a soccer uniform!!! Ala Juliana... with soccer socks and Maryjanes! Nighty night.
I love you.

I hope you guys have a wonderful, fun filled week. Thinking of you and sending lots of love...

Kristi valerie vecchione – springfield, PA – 04/05/08 4:35 PM Hey! We just finished up the raffle booth, and guess how much we made! $42.00! That was way over our $20.00 goal! More than a whole summer's work of lemonade stands! Also, people wrote some comments in the comment book for you guys! I can't wait until we can start summer fundraising! By Christmas time, no doubt we will send you the money we made over the summer, and spring, and fall! I hope you have a great day!

All I've been doing since I got back is yappin yappin yappin about you and sissy. My friends all want to know how you're doing. I'm so proud of you and I do my best imitation of your lovely posture in dance class. I love telling them about you and sissy trying that bungie-trampoline thingy at Seaworld. You're so daring and very "ninja monkey-like" sometimes. Mommy loves that!! I thought my face was going to crack from laughing as you jumped...in a dress and pink MaryJanes no less!! You just tickle the heart my darling girl. INDOMITABLE!!!!
I love you.
Yvette Dora – Barcelona (España) – 04/02/08 6:43 AM Hablando sobre problemas en niños con una amiga, me enteré de la presencia de Juliana en la web.
He visto y he leído sobre personas admirables, pero nada comparado con la familia y amigos de Juliana. ¡Qué suerte tienes, Juliana!
Sé que no es un camino corto, ni fácil pero ojalá que todo se vaya superando con la ayuda de la ciencia y con la dedicación de quienes rodean a Juliana.
Tan sólo me resta animaros a todos y desearos lo mejor.
Con mucho cariño, desde España.
Dora. john terlingo – Los Angeles – 04/01/08 6:21 PM hi juliana

www.terlingo.com Des Biondy – Indonesia – 03/31/08 2:16 PM Halo peri cilik :D...
It means Little Fairy in Indonesian :P, i hear it already that you are doing so great at learning something :)... so i'm really proud of you :D....
Stick at the way my dear :D, i will also try to keep searching more friends for you from Indonesia that always support you... never feel that you're alone! :D, besides your family and your friends, there are also other friends that love you and wish you all the best :D.....
I will always keep looking for any update of your story :D, and also pray for you... oh yeah, i also wanna to say, don't ever forget to pray ok? :D... because? if you keep praying well, God may listen to your prayer and accept your wish, so beautiful isn't it :D....
Ok then, maybe this is the time that i should say good bye to you :), may happiness always be yours :D, i will really pleased if someday you answer this post :P....
By the way, sorry for my bad english :P... Kim – MA – 03/31/08 8:20 AM Ok, Juliana, I'm officially jealous of you! I've wanted to touch a dolphin my whole life, and I'm 31 years old! You got to touch a real dolphin at the ripe old age of 5! Looks like you were really having fun. What about stingrays? Eek, I'm still afraid of those. You probably wouldn't be though, you don't seem to be afraid of anything! Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, NY – 03/30/08 6:18 PM Hey there my little dancing queen!!! I'm so proud of you! Man—you kicked those legs like a chorus girl—I was giddy!!! And how fearless are you, miss!?!?? You DO realize that most little kids don't try and jump into the dolphin pool, don't you? Na... didn't think so. I had such a sweet time with you, sissy and Mommy. I miss your little extra teeny "come here" finger move-motion-gesture-thingy!!! Only you could manage to have different "volumes" to your signing.
It's as if you're saying "shhh... come over here—I want to get you to do something that my Mommy already said no to—but I know that YOU'LL do for me...shhh". I'm sorry that we kept getting foiled in our plots my precious—I did my best to obey your every command.
I miss you mucho!!!
Love, your Freaky Godmother Yvette Stephanie – Millis MA – 03/29/08 11:03 PM A note the Wetmore family:
I'm happy to hear about your easter! This year I visited a relative's house, had a marvelous dinner there, and played nintendo with my cousins upstairs.
Juliana's confidence is an inspiration to me, being that hers is much further than mine. She is strong, and innocent, and there's nothing else with more value to say.
I hope the dance class works well! YOU ARE MY HERO JULIANA! YOU GO GIRL! Kristina Paulina – Reykjavík, Iceland – 03/29/08 10:27 PM Hey Juliana
I came across your story on the internet and was very touched by you. I think your inner beauty shines so bright and strong it outweighs the bad. You are a beautiful little girl. And you are so lucky to have such a wonderful family or should I say your family is lucky to have you. :)
I just wanted to let you know that you have a friend in Iceland and keep your spirit high.
Lots of love and kisses
Kristína Dean Orman – San Diego, CA – 03/29/08 8:33 PM Hello Wetmores (and Jeanne)!
Happy Birthday to little Juliana! The kids grow up fast don't they! Thanks for the update. So great to hear Juliana and you all are doing well! Take care and much love.
The Orman Family Karen Victoria Davenport – New York, NY – 03/29/08 6:21 PM Hi there, Lovely,
I was happy to read the latest update from Jeanne. (Thanks, Jeanne.)
Have fun dancing. I can tell you are a natural.
It must be fun to settle down with all those activities on the bed. I do that too, sometimes, reading, drawing, listening to music...
God Bless You. Hello to all of you Wetmores and Jeanne and the dog, Spring is coming slowly up here,
Kisses,
Karen Victoria Tovia Smith – Jacksonville, FL – 03/29/08 4:30 PM Hey Juliana,
I just wanted to say that I can see past everything in the mirror and I don't know you but I bet you are the most amazing little young lady :).
Mom and Dad, thank you for taking a stand and not letting the doctors pull the wool over your eyes, the decision you made was THE ONLY ONE...God is taking care of it for you Wetmore Family. So, keep your heads up high as usual and continue to follow His lead. God Bless and I can't wait to see His completed work of art.
Be Encouraged!!!! Jaime – Ga – 03/28/08 8:58 PM Greetings Wetmore family!!!!
It is good to hear all of you are good. I bet the girls are ready for summer, I know my kids are!!!! I have kept your family in my prayers since I saw the special on Juliana a month ago. I love to read about her antics. I have a little diva of my own. She is two years old and she carries a purse, backpack for her baby dolls and loves to have her toes painted!!!
Let us know how the dancing goes Juliana!!!!!
Lots of love and prayers,
The Jaime and family in GA Kathy Hall – Minooka, IL – 03/28/08 9:59 AM Hey, Sweet Pea! How are you? I can't wait to see you in your leotard and dancin' up a storm! When I asked Lauren, "Guess who's taking tap and ballet?", her eyes got all big and she guessed right away...ANA!!! Since Lauren tends to dance with more "abandon than grace", you might have to show her what you learn. :) You'll have alot of fun anyway!
I love you with all my heart, Sweetie...ask mommy to give you a big hug for me and for all of us (Grampa Maynard and Pete and Erica, Meggie, Lindsey, Melly and especially for Lauren :)...and hug mommy right back! (and daddy and sissy and Nurse Jeanne :) You're all in our thoughts and prayers every day!
P.S. Have loads of fun with your godmother! Don't get into too much trouble!!! :) Go easy on mommy! :) Jill McNamara – Torrance, CA – 03/28/08 2:29 AM Tami,
This message is for you. As I am sitting here at 1118 on a Thursday night! What else is a 28 year old to do in LA?! If you ever thought about moving here...dont!
I have been following Juliana's story since she was a baby. She captured my heart, causing me to fall in love with her. It has been about 1 year since I logged onto this site and I must say...she looks amazing. I can really see her features starting to progress. The doctors are doing a wonderful job. You must be so thankful and proud. Not to mention the fact that your daughter is bright little girl. Her charming personality allows people to see her for who she is. That is true beauty. Something that can't be changed with surgery. As I am sure you get several emails a day, take the time to read this one. Absorb my message and positive words. Know that people all over the world, young and old, have a place for you and your family in their heart.
Always,
Jill Jill McNamara – Torrance, CA – 03/28/08 2:15 AM Hello my love,
I cant get over how amazing you look! I have not seen your pictures in almost a year and your progress is wonderful! You look beautiful. Despite the pain and discomfort you may feel remember that mommy and daddy love you very much. Everything they are doing is just for you. Stay strong little one :-)
Always,

Get better, ok? My whole family prays for you to get better! :) Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, NY – 03/16/08 5:54 PM Hey there my beautiful Rapunzel Boo. I'm just sitting here trying to plan our "attack" on your Mama! Hmmm—what should we do? What, or where should we hide? How can we get her? She thinks she's so ungettable!!!!! We'll see! Don't worry—I'll take all of the blame—I'd never let you get in trouble. Just let her TRY and put you in timeout!!!
Yeah, yeah I know!!! I'm a little scared of messin' with her too. A LITTLE!!! Actually... not so much! Where was I born and raised after all!?!? That's right—NYC!!!! I've been bullied by MUCH tougher crazies on the subway!! Yeah—I think we'll find a way to get her good.
Oh well... time for the "crazies" that I LIVE with to start their nightly attack on my poor brain before bedtime.
"...must breathe"
Okay my darling baby boo, kiss that sissy for me. Nighty night.
Love you, Yvette steve-united-kingdom – United Kingdom (UK) – 03/16/08 10:38 AM hello from the UK!
When I first heard of Treature Collins Syndrome, I was deeply touched by Juliana's story. By watching the doccumentry on one of our british channels, I was personally touched by the comments that people have said to Juliana over the internet on such sites as youtube. I think that Juliana is a remarkable child who generally is no different to us and should be getting the same respect as we do.
If you are reading this, I would love to pass on my suppourt to her parents and her family. Please dont forget that she is a fantastic child and that her story has touched me in a way in which symbolises that not everyone in this world is perfect.
Much love to everyone here
Steve-united-kingdom x Diane Bawcum – Macomb MI – 03/15/08 8:49 PM Dear Juliana,
I am so glad I found your website! Since your story first aired I have been thinking of you and praying for your progress. You are such a brave and beautiful little girl. I have so much respect for you and your family for sharing your journey with the world. The challenges you have faced, and those you have yet to overcome are an inspiration to us all. Your parents have shown that the love for a child has no boundaries. God Bless all of you. Maggie – Middleburg, FL – 03/15/08 5:22 PM Hey Pretty Girl!!

I can't put into words just how much I adore you. I'm forever cheering for you, and laughing at stories about you. You warm my heart and it will never cease to amaze me— how many people are also cheering for you!?!?
Now... stop trying to hide in the pantry! Don't worry—we'll think of a trick to play on that Mama next time I visit. Shhhh!!!! Don't foil me again like you did that time with the fake alligator!!! Stinker!

Kristi Sharyn Penrose – New Egypt, New Jersey – 03/10/08 8:59 AM Hey Miss Juliana!
Look at you with the LONG hair! You are certainly looking like a five year old these days. Five going on 25! Whew! You're becoming quite the young lady! And I see Miss Kendra cut her beautiful hair! She looks adorable with her new hairstyle. Boy, between the two of you, you're both starting to look so grown up! I'm sure Mommy is probably having to adjust to this. I know I do when I get a good look at my daughters. We mothers start to realize (painfully:( ) that our "babies" are no longer there. But that's o.k., we enjoy watching you grow. Just don't do it TOO fast, o.k.? I hope you had an awesome birthday! I thought about you.;) I hope you had tons of fun.
Well, have a great day and God's blessings be upon you, Kendra, Mommy,Daddy and Nurse Jeanne!;)
Love-Sharyn
<>< Kim – MA – 03/10/08 8:46 AM Wow Juliana, Your hair is SO long. I have long hair to my waist, the same color as your's too. Mine is too straight though, you have beautiful waves in yours. Kendra's pixie doo is so cute too! Keep your's long though. It's so great to see new pics of you, you just keep getting more beautiful. I just want to plant a big kiss on your precious little button nose. Vince – Franklin, WI – 03/10/08 12:40 AM Hi Juliana!
A very Happy Birthday to you—Pat, Sophia and I hope it was wonderful! I started a new job, so I haven't had the chance to check in as much these last couple of weeks.
The two new pics are fantastic and you really have got some long hair going! We are hoping you are enjoying your winter and that everything is still going well for you. We've still got lots of snow up here, so if you are in the mood for sledding, I think we'll still have it come May. :)
As always, God Bless and the big e-hug for you!
Love,
Vince, Pat and Sophia Gail Zeolla – Redford MI – 03/09/08 10:47 PM Hi! I LOVE the new pictures and hair styles for both of you little dolls!

I miss you more than words can explain. I wanted so badly to come see you for your birthday but this year just wasn't meant to be. I owe you many, many hugs and I know you like to charge interest on any outstanding hugs so I had better come up with a plan soon or else I will be so far behind I may never be able to catch up.
Ok, that was silly, but that is me. I know because you told me, ha-ha! (-:
Everyone at work who knows who you are sends their birthday wishes to you too.
I hope your special day is as fun as fun can be!
Until next time......
I love you and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Her tiny body would be filled with more courage and strength than would seem possible...she would be one of God's tiniest soldiers and she would shine with His Light for all to see...that's you, Sweet Pea! God's little wonder in the making!
Happy Birthday, Juliana!

I feel like it's been forever since I last wrote in your guest book. From looking at the pictures your getting bigger and prettier by the day! I can't believe you're going to be 5 years old. I'll tell you like I tell my girls, "STOP GROWING!". Of course they just look at me funny and say, "I can't", probably like you would. Well, I will be thinking of you on your special day punkin-pie.;) Be sure to have LOTS of fun.
And have a HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY JULIANA!
May God's RICHEST blessings be upon you now and always little angel!
Love,Hugs and Blessings,

How lucky your beautiful girls are to have such a wonderful mom and dad! I am blessed with 2 children of my own and my daughter is a year a 1/2, around the same age Juliana was in the show that aired! Juliana give me so much inspiration and I want the world for both her and Kendra. How lucky she is to have an awesome big Sister. I didnt' realize how big Juliana is! Wow 5 years old.
I can imagine how much love you have for her as it seems I have fallen in love with her myself!
Happy Birthday Sweet Juliana!
Sincerely,
Another adoring fan of the Wetmore Family! Sarah Reynolds – Harker Heights, Tx – 03/03/08 5:02 PM Wow, guys i dont even know what to say, this is the first time i've ever been to this website, now that have a computer! But, all the comments from everyone just overwhelmed me with tears. I am glad there are so many people out there willing to give up their time just to write a few inspirational words. Maybe this world isn't too crazy!
I still cant believe i didnt know you guys had a website, one of the many things mom forgot to tell me :) just kidding mom!
Anyway, i just wanted to tell Juliana and kendra that their Aunt Sarah loves them and that i will see you guys this christmas. Its been too long and i hope that Juliana has a great 5th birthday.
Make sure you update us on her birhday and let us know how it goes. Layla is hungry so i need to go but I love you guys and Tommy; see ya later alligator!! Micki Karlsson – 03/03/08 3:52 PM Happy Birthday to you precious, wonderfull, divine Juliana miraclegirl of this universe. A futher year has gone and you still effects me just as much as ever. I hope you have a wonderful fifth birthday and are satisfied with your “big big” day. I Love You.
Your humble friend Micki x-o-x-o-x Shanta Hibbitt – Seattle, Washington – 03/03/08 1:19 PM What an amazing and encouraging family you are. I can't even begin to imagine the overwhelming feelings of all sorts that your family has had to endure over the years. Each of you are truly, truly amazing. Even my 3 year old son was touched by your daughter. He kept hugging the T.V. saying I'm sorry baby...
Juliana is a very STRONG and determined little girl. Much love to you and your family from Seattle. Debra Curran – Santa Ana, CA – 03/03/08 1:01 PM Dear Tami and Thom,
I saw your story on Discovery Health and was so immensly touched. I have my own special needs child who is 6 mos. old. She was born with hydrocephalus and has eating problems and her head is mishapen due to it.
At a time when I was feeling very overwhelmed by the demands of her condition, I saw your story and realized how amazingly lucky I am that I only have to handle what I do.
You and your family have inspired me immensely. I can't imagine what you've been through and admire you for your strength and courage. Juliana is an amazing little fighter and I know she'll do wonderfully. Thank you for sharing your story.
You will be in our thoughts and prayers. I look forward to reading your updates.
Big hugs and God bless,
Debra Elizabeth – bryan, tx – 03/03/08 10:36 AM Hey, I just watched the show about 3 days ago and it really touched me. You see I have a 2 yr. old sister that at the time when she was born the doctors thought she had this. They ran some tests but came out negative then they thought she had Appert syndrome but thank God it came out negative too. Well, when she was born her face wasn't like a normal new born baby's face, and my dad warned us about that before we entered the hospital room. Her skull was opened from her forehead to her neck. She's had 2 surgeries and she's probably going to have another one when she's a little bit older.
You know, God can make miracles and i believe my sister is a miracle. Since she was born, she had problems with sinus and other problems too. Well, I'm at school and I have to go but i'm glad I found this website. I really want to help you all with all my heart but know I can't but in the future I will.
Please send me messages to my e-mail, and let me know how Juliana and the whole family is doing. I'll be praying for you all. I don't know Juliana that well but I already love her. Just be strong and you'll get through this and I'll be praying for the day when she says I'm happy with my self no more surgeries to come soon. I love you all. really. Julie Hynes – Sumter, SC – 03/02/08 6:40 PM What a touching story...I am blessed with a healthy six year old and every day I am reminded that children are a blessing from God. You are blessed as well. My what things you have learned on your journey! God has a plan for everyone, even though we try to change it form time to time. Take care and God Bless!
Catrece Hurd – Fort Rucker, AL – 03/02/08 5:19 PM We just watched the Discovery story and I was overwhelmed at how wonderful your little girl makes me feel! I was inspired by her story and how important it is for us to love someone for whats on the inside. We are a military family as well and just recently our son was diagnosed with a heart condition and we have been admitted to childrens hospital in Birmingham several times this last month-seeing your daughter and hearing your story has not only given us hope but also made us realize how blessed we are to have the children that we have. I also just recently found out that we are pregnant again! Thanks again for sharing Juliana's story with the world, she is an inspiration for us all!
God Bless your family,
Catrece Hurd and family Stephanie – West Fairview, PA – 03/02/08 11:08 AM When I gave birth to my daughter in July 2005 I thought I was the luckiest person alive. Then one day I was flipping through the channels and was attracted to a story called Born Without a Face. I watched, cried and realized just how grateful I was for what I have. The strength, love and courage that your family has is unmatchable. Juliana is an inspiration for all the world. I wish you all the best of luck. Please keep updates and pictures coming. Magdalena Wareda – Linden, NJ – 03/02/08 10:19 AM Hello my name is Magdalena. I am truly touched by your story. It is so amazing how strong one little girl may be. Juliana is lucky to have such a loving and supportive family and friends. My whole family is praying for all of you. We love you and wish you good luck. God bless you all. Elaine Sosebee – Columbia, SC – 03/02/08 9:49 AM I watched your story on Discovery Health last night, March 01, 08. I have never had a story move my heart such as yours has. I am a mom of 4 and grandmother of 8 and believe all children are gifts from God. There is no doubt you are a wonderful gift that is able to bring out the love of all who hear your story. I believe you have a great mission in this life. I will forever remember you and keep you and your family in my prayers. Chris – Seminole, FL – 03/02/08 3:28 AM Hello, My name is Chris, but my friends call me Freek. I have read your story and looked at your pictures. Your story is very touching and you seem to be a very strong girl. Stay strong and always remember that there are people out there that hope the best for you. Judy Wallace – San Antonio, Texas – 03/02/08 1:13 AM Hello. My name is Judy and I just watched your show on Discovery Health. I wanted (felt compelled) to learn more about Juliana and her family. I am so happy that I found your webpage! Your family are such an inspiration to so many people around the world. I know that you are to me. Juliana, you are such a beautiful child of God. You have gone through so much in your short life, but always come out with your spirit shining bright! I know that your parents, sister, nurse, and the rest of your family are so proud of you and all of your accomplishments. Hearing your story will inspire me in my own life. I look forward to following your progress. Kendra, you are an amazing BIG sister. Keep up the good work! To mom and dad, you are an incrediably strong couple and I will pray that God's sustains your relationship as you continue to face challenges as you raise your children. God Bless! Judy Melissa Roland – Bluefield VA – 03/02/08 1:11 AM I have seen your story aired so many times on TV. and needed to follow up. I was so thrilled to see how amazing you look. :) My prayers are with you and your family. You are such a strong little girl. It is such a sweet change to see so much LOVE in a family.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!! You have a wonderful, beautiful, LOVING, sweet, and Caring Family..:)
Always remember that GOD is always with you to work out even the littlest things. Linda Hagan – Baltimore, MD – 03/02/08 12:59 AM I'm glad to see you are doing so well. You are a beautiful, brave girl. My thoughts and prayers are for you and your family. Keep growing strong!! Erica Starks – Indianapolis, Indiana – 03/02/08 12:58 AM Hi Juliana! :)
Just got done watching your most recent special on Discovery Health and wanted to stop by to express my TOTAL awe and admiration of you and your entire family. Your strength, courage and beauty is truly enviable—living proof of God's miracles. Watching your story unfold was definitely worth putting off studying for midterms. No doubt you'd make a better university student than me! ^_^
Mr. and Mrs. Wetmore, thank you for hosting this site and giving us "strangers" a forum for voicing our support. It's no small coincidence that so many people have fallen for your lovely girl's sweet, feisty spirit, nor the fact that both of your daughters seem to be a reflection of your grace and faith. Have a great day,
Erica S. Carolyn Nicosia – San Jose, CA – 03/02/08 12:21 AM Hi!! I am a big fan of your family, and have watched your show many times! I am almost 12, but still am very interasted in your family. You are a very gifted child, and are so lucky to have such a loving and sweet family! I think you are a very beautiful little girl, and you get that from your pretty family. You are a smart girl, and are very lucky to have so many people supporting you...not only your family, but the people of America. I will give my prayers to God for you, along with my friends who love you and your family. I can't believe how brave you are, and all of the sacrifices you were willing to take. Wow! Look at you now Juliana, you look absolutly amazing! Best of Luck to you and your family. You'll always have people there for you and your family! Joe McKeever – Mullica Hill NJ – 03/02/08 12:10 AM You have support and prayers here in NJ. Your story is trully inspirational and are an angel from God. We saw the story last year and me and my wife really admire you and your family for the strength you have exibited.

To your parents, many thoughts and prayers for both of you for continued strength and love.
LuAnn Courtney Hughes – Philadelphia, Pa – 03/01/08 8:37 PM I have seen your story on the T.V and it really touched me. I am curious as how all the surgeries are progressing and I plan to check the website often. I think Juliana is very lucky to have parents like you. I hope her story helps others to cope. God Bless! Millie Drolet – Charleston, SC – 02/29/08 7:51 PM Happy Leap Day!!! I look forward to watching your program tomorrow night. You are a truly special little girl and so is your big sister.

Kristi Gail Devlin – Burlington, ON Canada – 02/28/08 10:17 AM I was so thrilled to find this site! I have followed the story of the Wetmore family and I am so thrilled for you at the progress Juliana continues to make. This family defines unconditional love and support, and sets the example for us all in our approach to treating each other with dignity, respect and love. Absolutely amazing!! Thank you so much. Alan Darbe – Michigan – 02/28/08 9:43 AM At this time of year in Michigan, I'll bet you are glad to be in Florida. Today it is a balmy 10 degrees.
I hope things are going well for all of you. I check the website almost everyday looking for the latest. I love to see the progress you and your sister are making. I'll bet both of you were given a lot of attention on Valentine's day. (As every little girl should) I know I gave my granddaughter, more candy than she needed.
Hugs and Kisses from the Frigid North,
Alan
PS Tami: I know things will change after Thom retires. I left the Air Force after 8 years, what a difference. Please, remember that there are a lot of us who care about you and your family and would help in any way we can if you need it. Just ask. You have created a truly world wide family and families help each other.
AD Heather Mash – Chilhowie, VA – 02/27/08 8:28 PM My husband and I have been following your story since you were born. We are so proud of you! We are also so proud of your big sister. She is a little angel in disguise. The whole family has been through so much and it is such an inspiration to us. Any time we are having any problems, whether it be financial, or anything, we always think about your family and remember what you guys have been through and it makes us that much stronger. We will always be praying for your family and following along with how your doing. God Bless. Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, NY – 02/27/08 4:01 PM Hello my scrumptious slice of babycake! I'll never get tired of reading about how much you inspire people all over the place. And—I always crack up when I read that you look like a "troublemaker". Oh... if people only knew!!!!! Thank the maker for your sassy little self. Giving up is just not your style, huh? Carry on—you know—ROCKIN' THE WORLD my little lotus flower.
I love you mucho, Yvette Gail Zeolla – Redford, MI – 02/26/08 8:04 PM Hi Tami, Jeanne, and girls, It's been a long while since I have written, but I have checked your website as often as I could get on here. I had a second go round with breast cancer coming back after 15 years, so had alot of chemo,24 treatments, and surgery etc...and I want you to know I thought of you and how strong you all have been through out all of your sweet Juliana's life. The nurse came in and actually read off of my chart, "you don't complain and don't like to ask for much" I believe she actually read that off of my chart, and you darling little girl had a lot to do with that and how I have tried to handle this in my life.
You have just grown up so much I can't believe it, both of you girls look adorable as always. I'm sorry you haven't been feeling very well since your last surgery and hope that infection has cleared up by now. You are the bravest little girl in the world with the best parents and nurse, sister and family I have have ever seen. Just wanted to touch base and tell you I'm glad you all had a nice Christmas and hold you in my prayers every day. I was thinking I bet your Dad was there for the Daytona race Tami, I'm sure it was a great visit! I cannot believe you will be 5 years old!
I hope you are all having a nice night, take good care, love, gail and tony from MI Kathy Hall – Minooka, IL – 02/26/08 11:09 AM Hey, Sweet Pea! This is a "test message"...for some reason, I'm not getting through again! I sent you a great message a while back from everybody but for the life of me, I can't remember what I said now, so I'll just have to hope you felt the love anyway :)...Papa and Nana were with you and your cousins from Illinois, so I know you were getting hugged alot (I heard you weren't feeling too well for some of the visit...hope you're back to being your sweet, feisty self again!). Love you, Ana! We'll be thinking of you on your birthday, Sweet Pea...Lauren laughed at the thought that you'll both be 5 now!!! Mommy and Daddy and sissy can give you an extra big hug for everyone "out here" who loves you! God bless you, Ana, on your birthday and everyday. :)
Love you "bigger than the whole world"...
Gramma Kathy and the gang
(I'm prayin' this goes through...:) Evelyn – Chicago – 02/22/08 9:30 PM I saw Juliana's documentary and I just wanted to see how she's coming along. Oh...my...goodness. Her picture at Christmas is FANTASTIC!!! She looks great! She also looks like a little troublemaker she's so active so I hope you're keeping up with her :) Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that you have two BEAUTIFUL daughters!!! Craig Henry – Glasgow, Scotland – 02/22/08 7:11 PM Hi Juliana! I heard your story and I'm so touched and amazed by it. You are my hero! Hello to all the Wetmore family and God Bless you all!

God bless you all Diane Durling – Loudon NH – 02/22/08 9:29 AM Tami, it is amazing to see how much Juliana has grown. I have been following her story from birth and I am just amazed.
I am very happy to hear that you and your family stay positive year after year. Juliana will realize one day when she is grown how special her family really is.
Keep your head up with Thom's deployment it will be over sooner than you realize. My father was a Marine. My life from birth to 18 was one base after another. No regrets though, made lots of friends.
Well it is off to work for me, but not before checking on my 2 boys who are home sick today......it never ends when you have children lol
take care and hi to all :)
Cindy – Michigan – 02/20/08 12:27 AM You are truly amazing. Absolutely beautiful. Your story really touched me, and I wish nothing but the best for you. You have a great family, too. God bless you.

I hope you and your family are well il write to you again soon on here xxx Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, NY – 02/17/08 9:39 AM Good morning sunshine—you make me laugh so much and so often. I can't believe you're going to be 5 in a few weeks!?!?!? 5 years old really starts the big kid years—you are definitely gonna be out of control... good luck Tammy. I took your buddies Alicia and Elias sledding yesterday. I wish that you and Kendra were up for a visit now because I know that you'd enjoy the snow. Or—maybe not! You're such a little diva! Oh well—you know I'd have no problem toting you around on my back so that you wouldn't get stuck in the snow my darling. Have a great day.
All my love to you and sissy.

Keep "keeping on" and
Go show the world what you've got! You're in my heart, Sweet Pea...
Gramma Kathy Yvette Rodriguez – Iceburgh, NY – 02/13/08 3:10 AM Hey there my funny Valentine—hopefully, you're in the middle of sweet dreams right now. As you can see—I'M NOT!!!! I can't sleep because the sleet hitting the windows is too loud and it just reminds me that school will probably be CLOSED tomorrow!?!??!?
Elias was talking about you yesterday. He was remembering the visit with you in Illinois last year. It's so funny how you little ones don't seem to notice things as they happen and then all of a sudden... BOOM!!!! You remind us that you ARE paying attention. I always wonder what you must be telling Mommy about when silly memories of me and the ninja monkeys pop up in your head. I know you MUST remember what a sucker I am whenever I'm with you!!! Yeah... what can I say? I'm not messin' with you 'cuz I know you're not havin' it!!!
"UH UH!!!" You and your little Pebbles Flintstone giggle have me wrapped around your finger every time and that's fine by me—TAMMY!!!!! Ha ha. I've gotta get a bigger saddle... you're getting so big.
Nighty night

smooches, Yvette Gimena – Fort Lauderdale – 02/12/08 10:29 PM hello Juliana I hope that you are very well... I am Gimena I send many kisses to you and your family...Luck in everything what you set out many blessings to your family... I love you Alan Darbe – Michigan – 02/08/08 7:41 AM I think it is time you took a trip to the frosty north. We have had a lot of snow this year and I know you and your family would just love it.
Of course, after a few days you will be anxious to get back where it is warm, (I wish that just about every day)
But just know, that people everywhere are praying for you and glad to see your ever improving situation.
God Bless Karen Lochte – Alta Loma, CA – 02/07/08 12:10 PM Hi, Folks~
I hope things are well with all of you. I read the most uplifting book about a boy born with Apert Syndrome. Although it is a craniofacial anomaly, it is different from Treacher Collins. However, the story warms the heart as much as Juliana's does. Mommy and Daddy might especially get some great encouragement from it. It's called Babyface: A Story of Heart and Bones, by Jeanne McDermott.
On the cover, one review mentions it "is not so much about a child with special needs as it is about a normal family and what happens when life takes an unexpected turn." Boy, does that remind me of you, dear Wetmores!
I hope you all stay well as spring approaches! I'm looking forward to seeing flowers blooming after all of the rain we've had. Alvin Phair – Northern Ireland – 02/05/08 10:41 AM Hi, Wee Angels, hope you both are enjoying your 'Butterscotch?' don't let him/her run away!
Hi to Mummy & Daddy, what a great Family.
All our love Alvin & Family X0X0X0 Christie – Sugar Grove Ill – 02/03/08 10:01 PM Hi Juliana!
How are you? I hope your doing good. How is school going, I hear that you really like it. I wish you all a happy, sweet, and romantic Valentines day! I hope that you have fun Yvette Rodriguez – Newburgh, NY – 02/02/08 1:53 PM Well hello there my precious little goddess of everything sweet and delicious!!! I'm so sorry that it's taken me so long to wish you a very SASSY...I mean HAPPY NEW YEAR! No I didn't suggest that she be sassy—Tami!!! And, wow—you know what is on TV? THE INCREDIBLES!!!!!! Remember before we met? It was always on and I told you that I think PIXAR ripped you off!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that movie. You are SO like DASH and JACK JACK combined. I've always known that you have so many powers that they had to split them into two kids. And Kendra, Mommy and Daddy are just like the other INCREDIBLES.
Anyways... I've just missed writing to you so much and I'm very happy to be able to again. I adore you more than you know my delicious little bag of Jelly beans. Now—go back to rockin' the world.
Yvette Karen Victoria Davenport – New York, NY – 02/01/08 6:12 PM Hi there, Sweet Girl,
Just dropped by to say hello. I was glad to hear of your holiday news.

Just thought I'd drop in to tell you that I've been checking the site a bunch of times to see how you are doing and to read all of the great comments from all the people from all over the world. You really are an inspiration to so many people and that is a special gift very few people ever will have.
Keep being the beautiful person you are!
God bless and the big e-hug for you!
Vince, Pat and Sophia Kristi Morris – Abilene, TX – 01/31/08 5:30 PM Hey Wetmore Family and Nurse Jeanne!! Just thinking about you guys and sending lots of love your way :)

~Morgan~ Jeanette Buttler – Memphis, Indiana – 01/28/08 12:16 PM Hello Juliana,
I just came across your web site today while doing research on the RED system. You are a beautiful little girl who looks to have a lot of fun in life! I can also see that you have a beautiful spirit as well.
My family is similar to yours in that our youngest daughter, Darcy, also has a facial anomaly. I would love to talk to your mother sometime and get some pointers. It sounds like you did really well with your RED system when it was on.
Thanks to your family for making this web site and I hope to catch up on your progress again soon.
Best wishes,
Jeanette Jenn – Britain, UK – 01/27/08 8:39 PM Hey beautiful. (:
I don't think my comment will be as jolly as everybody else's ... but it's been a while now since I saw your gorgeous face on television & since that night, I've had this website address on my personal website, etc.
I thought it was about time I made an effort to get this out now. (:
As you may have gathered, I think you're beautiful. I think you're going to grow up in a stunning little lady & I'm more than sure your mommy & daddy will make sure this happens.
I think you're brave, in a word. I can't even put myself in the situation of surgery, never mind not being able to say it scares me. You're a proper little trooper, you are. & that takes some guts. (;
Finally, I think you're absolutely great. I've never come across anybody who inspires me like you do.
I'm choking on tears writing this,
but I couldn't hold them back whilst seeing you on my television screen.
(: Take care.
x o x x Andre – Canada – 01/27/08 7:58 AM Hey there little one. I was glad to read you all had a great holiday. I enjoy reading about your daily adventures as often as they are posted. My youngest daughter is just a little older than you are, and what a team you two would make in attitude! Thank you to your nurse and mom for the updates.
Incidentally Mom, have you considered posting video on Youtube? Christ bless you all. Rick – Canyon Lake, Ca. – 01/26/08 12:46 AM Hi Precious!
Ok, after a Long Hard And EXTREMELY stressful day at work, the only thing that can make me feel at ease is knowing that when I get home, I can come here to your site and after only a couple of moments, all of the worries of the day seem to disappear as you work your "Juliana Magic" on me and melt my heart all over again. (-:
Hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend!
Rick
Maggie – Middleburg, FL – 01/25/08 8:17 PM Hey Pretty Girl,
I was just watching all the Channel 12 videos of you and getting a HUGE smile across my face watching you play, bein' sassy and even saying "I Love You". Whenever I have a bad day, I have to watch you or at least read and see what is going on in your world. You are more than SPECIAL yet I don't know the word to describe you. Tell mommy that I think of her often and I hope you are being nice to her.
Lot of Love,
Ms. Maggie Millie Drolet – Charleston, SC – 01/24/08 8:56 PM Just wanted to stop by and say hi! Christie – Sugar Grove Ill – 01/24/08 8:14 PM Hi Juliana! It must feel good to be rid of breathing tubes. Wow, I sure hope I can meet you one day.

Stay strong! Sylvia Keseru – Toronto – 01/22/08 4:26 AM Dear Juliana,
I came across your webpage by surfing the net. Sweet, beautiful Angel, I felt such love for you right away. You made my heart smile while watching you go to school. What a brave girl, most children are nervous the first day!

Love, hugs and prayers
