In the web there is a small exercise for saving a tv program, which will be ended soon. It is a program that shows about patients and their families called Hospital 24 hours. We can see various patients dealing with tough diseases. We can see their efforts, frustrations, hopes or even a death. I watched it often with a blood-shot eyes. This time, I had a chance for wathing a movie about the same kind of the tv program. The movie, Lorenzo oil, is a true story about cureless boy and their family.

It is about the struggles of a father (an economist) and a mother ( a linguist) when faced with the grim prospects of their son, Lorenzo Michael Murphy Odone, afflicted with a rare genetic disease, Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). What struck me so deep was the amazing way of how the father and the mother patiently faced the trials. The mother, Micheala, became like a "mother tiger", devoting her life to the constant care of Lorenzo, who because of the progressiveness of the debilitating illness, have lost most of his bodily functions. While Augusto, threw himself totally into the research of why the disease affects the way it does and how to overcome it.

The movie is very good as it tells the gritting truth without sugarcoating the events as it unfold. There are moments when Michael`s actions went overboard, she kept away her friends, her church, and even at one point, her own sister, Deidre. She was so dedicated to the care of Lorenzo that she even changed nurses who did not share her positiveness and hope for Lorenzo.
