All eyes glued to the TV. Except for Jojo who opted to stay glued to his computer.
Touchdown!
It's official. The Saints are not the Aints anymore.
And this is the way I see it. If the New Orleans Saints actually won the Superbowl this year, then anything is possible. Maybe a cure/treatment for SMA will be next.
I was thinking about you guys yesterday through the entire game. Because the Saints kept the Vikings out of the Superbowl, the rest of my family was hoping they would not win. However, I knew that it would make Jojo's day! I loved the title of your post; one of my friends tried--unsuccessfully--to teach Karli to say "Who dat" all afternoon:)
This is a snap shot of our life with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. After we found out that our son Joseph (Jojo) had SMA, we grieved. We grieved for all the motor milestones that he would never meet, and for the life that we dreamed and visualized for him. It is tragic to see our child not being able to move much, and then to watch as he progressively loses even those minimal movements and skills that he was born with. But we learn to adjust and keep the focus away from our grief. Because really, he is not fundamentally different from kids his own age: he learns stuff, he knows what he wants, he rationalizes, he whines and occasionally throws a tantrum, and he knows how to wrap his Mom and especially his Dad around his little finger.
oh I love that anything is possible, cute pictures of jojo!!!!!
