The Girl With Brittle Bones

Originally Aired 2/25/13 | Tagged:    Video   

Jeff talks with the amazing Dede Selivon, an inspiring 21-year-old woman who doesn't let her rare bone disorder stop her from living a happy, full life.  Dede has osteogenesis imperfecta, a condition that makes her bones extremely fragile.  She estimates she breaks a bone almost once a month, often times by doing things as common as sneezing or shaking someone's hand.  Dede shares the optimism that has helped her surpass milestones her doctors predicted were unreachable.  Then, Dede's boyfriend, Peter, joins the conversation, and gives her the surprise of her life when he gets down on one knee!  That's not the only surprise though:  Jeff presents Dede and Peter with some amazing life-changing gifts.  Plus, special guest Dr. Drew Pinsky answers audience questions with Jeff.  And, two quick change artists wow the studio audience during "Entertain Us."
