Stefany Shaheen to Read from New Book ELLE & COACH at Seacoast Rep, 12/6
When Elle (pronounced "Ellie"), was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, Stefany Shaheen confronted a terrifying new reality: Without constant monitoring and treatment, Elle could face grim consequences, even death. So type-A mom Stefany committed herself to learning everything she could about managing her daughter's unpredictable and life-threatening condition, all while trying to keep a sense of normalcy for the sake of her four children. After numerous hospital visits, a seizure, and various treatments -- including an artificial pancreas trial -- Elle and Stefany finally found relief in an adorable, four-legged companion named Coach.
Overcoming the initial skepticism that a dog might provide answers that medical science is still seeking, the family found a resounding sense of peace and reassurance through Coach's amazing ability to alert Elle of dangerous changes in her blood sugar levels before she feels symptoms and before her own medical equipment could detect the changes.
Shaheen will be reading selections from ELLE & COACH and staying after with co-author Mark Dagostino for a discussion and meet-and-greet. The event is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase int he lobby.
