CommentsHi! I am a 17 year old girl with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type III, also known as Kugelberg-Welander disease. I use a power wheelchair to get around and a tracheotomy tube. I am so moved by all these beautiful angels that I have seen here. Sometimes I get depressed because I cannot walk and have to use a power chair but I
realized I am lucky, that some kids don't make it and I believe that these beautiful babies are my guardian angels and all of their parents should be so, so, so proud of these wonderful humans that brought so much light to the earth.

Commentswhat a wonderful website!
if only i could have found support like this when we had our two babies with wernig hoffman.
our first, heather was born in 1973, and went to be with the lord when she was almost 3months old.
then in 1980 our son, jacob was born with it and left for heaven when he was 5 months old.
the statistics sure have changed alot since then.
i'm thankful for the three healthy children that we do have, and the 6 healthy grandchildren that we have.
the disease did show up again in the family on my husband's mothers side. his cousin had a daughter with it. it was good to be able to help her and give her information. something that wasn't availabel to me in the 70's.
i pray that i never have to deal with this in our family again.
it's a terrible way to lose your baby.
i pray for all who are going thru this difficult time in their lives.
it never leaves you, and the saddness can be too much at times. i think i will always have a broken heart.
blessings,

Comments This is a great website, I have heard of similar afflictions prior to this, but was unfamiliar with this one until recently. Like many people I cannot understand why, what possible reason exists for children to suffer in such a way. They are truly as you have named them our angels. I am one of billy spiegel's relatives. The fact that these children can endure this and still smile is amazing. I feel small compared to their strength, it is a spirit and courage that I surrender to. Please keep searching for a way to end this.

CommentsFather to Bryan SAWYER Smith (SMA Type I). My wife and I visited this site when Sawyer was first diagnosed as part of our desperate struggle to find out what we were all facing. Amidst the horror, we found great comfort in seeing the angels pictures and reading the amazing stories. Sawyer passed away September 19, 2002 and this site provides us with a great view of the children that our son is playing with in heaven free from SMA. Thank you for all you do.

CommentsHello, My son Devin was diagnosed with SMA 11-21-02. He was 3 months old at the time, now 1 month and 2 days later, I have all you mothers out there to thank for helping me find the strength to go on and to make my little man's life as long as possible. Thank you all so much! I hope to be adding Devin's page to this beautiful site soon. To me not only are the children precious angels but the mothers and families of these children have been my gardian angels helping guide me in the right direction for the treatment of my son. Thank you all again so much!

It is such a beautiful way for people to remember our SMA children. I still have a hard time visiting Alec's website because there is still so much pain there. We miss him terribly, especially his big sister April. I can't believe it's been over a year now since I held Alec in my arms and touched his soft cheeks. I can't even begin to tell how much I want him here with me!!! Unless you have experienced a loss of a child....you'll never know. I know Alec is watching over us and taking good care of us. We miss you little Poop, I know we will be together again someday! Love forever and always, Mama (kiss kiss!!)

disease. She was my first born child and she was a shining star.
These children are a revelation as every day is a struggle for them. There is not a day that she is not missed. I was lucky enough to have two other children who are both healthy but I would not change a day which was shared with such a wonderful person.

I have learned from your site that medical details have change significantly in the last 12 years, but the experience of parenting a little one with Werdnig-Hoffman's is much the same: excruciating, miraculous, the worst kind of hell, and the most precious opportunity to transcend indescribable suffering as you follow in the footsteps of saints and angels. If anyone needs or wants to chat, I would be pleased to hear from you.

CommentsMy Grandson died of SMA Type I, Werdnig-Hoffmann's Disease, three years ago. It was the most heart-wrenching experience of my life. I can't even begin to imagine what it did to my daughter and son-in-law. He was a beautiful boy, looked just like Emily, his mother, did when she was born. I pray for an end to this horrific disease, every child deserves the chance to live his childhood.
My daughter is now pregnant with twin daughters who have already been tested for SMA. They will be healthy. I know my daughter will make sure they grow up knowing of their older brother, and that they will know of the disease they potentially carry.
God bless you all.

This is a beautiful web site, and I was crying as I viewed the contents. There is a very special angel by the name of Sara Rose Greene. I am not biologically her grandma, but my son is married to her aunt, so I guess that qualifies me as a grandma. We all love this beautiful strawberry-blonde baby, and I pray with my heart 24 hours a day for a cure for all of our angels afflicted with this devastating disease, and all of their families and loved ones.
GOD bless one and all for the support coming from this web site.

CommentsI didn't know anything about SMA until my sister moved into a new neighborhood and met a woman we actually went to high school with. Her little girl, Ashley, who is now three, was diagnosed with SMA. I have to say that Ashley's Mom is amazing. Every time I read about Ashley - I cry. But, Jenny, ALWAYS seems positive and is doing everything she can to save her child. She is truly inspiring. She has organized so much to help SMA research. If it wasn't for Jenny and Ashley, I am sure I would not be aware of SMA. This is a horrible disease. I look at my healthy toddler and I can't even imagine...

CommentsOur initiation to SMA came when our third baby, Jeffrey, was diagnosed with Type 1. I have written a book about our brief time with him, The Jeffrey Journey (http://www.trafford.com/robots/03-0953.html which was published last year. Included in the book is a special dedication, with a section to honor those with SMA, and a memorial. There are currently hundreds of names listed, but I would like more! If you would like to add a name for the upcoming revised edition, please send the name(s) as you would like it listed, including a nickname if desired, and whether it belongs in the honor or memorial section. In order to have the books ready in plenty of time for Christmas, I need to have the names by August 31, 2004. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, and PLEASE share this request with any other SMA families you keep in touch with. Thanks!

CommentsMy three year old god daughter has sma. As i am only 17 this has opened my eyes to what is out there in the big world for not only me to face but her Tiarra also. She would be one of the most amazing people i have ever met. She makes me stronger, just by watching her grow. If anyone out there is willing to help me start a Sunflower Day, making people aware that SMA is out there. This would be a huge
opportunity to raise money and to give knowledge. This site has helped me understand better and now i would like to help out and make others aware.

CommentsI am Conner Riggs grandmother. Five years ago around Christmas time, we learned that Conner had sma. He lived on for almost three years with the disease. We experienced all the emotions that all of the families do - shock, disbelief, anger, sorrow. But the most important thing that lingers in my mind is that we were able to know that sweet little boy. We were able to love him and be loved by him. He will always be in our hearts and on our minds. We collected many memories - pictures, videos and experiences. He lives on here in our memories and in heaven as our angel - there to join those who went before him and to greet those who have gone since. Merry Christmas, little man.

CommentsMy wife and I are the parents of an SMA Angel. Jacob Blake Holden was born on April 24, 2000 and was called back to our Father in Heaven on January 24, 2003. He had work to do on the other side of the veil. We know how precious these Angels are and want everyone to know that our thoughts and prayers are with them. The only advice I would offer is to hold these Angels tight and love them like every day was the last, I can speak from experience I never got to tell Jacob goodbye.

It is a very beautiful site. I'm living in Belgium. On the website from Kelsey* (Belgium) I saw the link to this site. I lost my daughter on the terrible disease SMA (17.05.03° - 06.06.04*). It is interesting to read the stories, I recognize many things.
