Every day I get an email that alerts me to any news or blog posts about SMA... Today I got one that made me cry and broke my heart even more. It was so hard to lose Eli, but this family lost a set of twins one day apart. I can't imagine having to feel the pain I'm feeling times two. My heart breaks for them so much. I wish I knew something that would make it easier, but I know nothing can.

It is so strange how nobody has even heard of SMA until someone they know has a child diagnosed with it. It doesn't seem to be a "rare" disorder at all. I meet new people online almost every day now who have either lost a child, had a child diagnosed, or have a milder form themselves. It is so sad that a disease that can kill our children before they even get that first birthday cake to play in is so unknown.
