From the book ......"I was staying in Mirabella for the summer and
fall of 1974, and during that time, we got engaged. We were married in a little
town called Bonito.
We returned to Seattle
soon after, and about five years later, Teresa was born."
Tony
and Anna would soon become both pioneers and experts in the hematology
field, as parents of two girls born with a rare form of hemophilia,
severe factor V deficiency. They would work hand-in-hand with doctors
and nurses as they constantly struggled to keep their daughters alive
during bleeding episodes.
