When Fritz and Cindy Miller learned in 1989 that their infant twins both had Spinal Muscular Atrophy, they knew they could be facing a lifetime of round-the-clock care and frequent sickness. With two quadriplegic daughters, the Millers wondered about their ability to enjoy a "normal" life. NORMAL FOR US: THE MILLER TWINS is the inspiring story of one family's love and determination in the face of enormous challenges. From rebuilding their home to accommodate the twins' special needs to building their own two-of-a-kind wheelchairs that offer extraordinary mobility that commercial power wheelchairs can't even touch, the Millers have raised two fun-loving teenagers who enjoy hiking, playing dodge-ball and hanging out at the mall. NORMAL FOR US: THE MILLER TWINS recounts the unique achievements of this seven-member family. It's a story about limitless possibilities, the power of love and a successful "normal" American family.
