1/9 Night Update

We now have a confirmed diagnosis of SMA. We have plans to get a different type of feeding tube installed early next week and will meet with the Hospice nurse on Monday. We are hoping all goes well and if it does, we should have him home by Wednesday or Thursday.

I found your blog when you via Google Alert when you mentioned your son was being tested for SMA. I have two boys with SMA type 1 who are 11 and 7. I'm so sorry to hear that the diagnosis has been confirmed. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or if just need a sounding board, please don't hesitate. You said you have Hospice coming in, and I respect your decision. There are lots of other families out here that have chosen the same path. www.smasupport.com is a good place to ask for support if you're ready.
