Brett, You have got to be the cutest little boy I have ever seen (not to mention the smartest!!). You are AMAZING!! I am so glad you are a part of my life. Maddi sends her love and cannot wait to get together with you. She asks about you daily. Everytime I come home from work she asks if I played with you. Of course, all three monsters fight over you. You are the BEST!! See you soon, Jennifer

Hey there! Hope you had a great week! I'm doing alright. I'm so happy Spring has 'sprung'. Unfortunately, it's been kinda chilly here, so Wyatt and I haven't been on many walks. But that's ok because, Wyatt enjoys digging in the back yard. He digs and digs to find his favorite toy...ROCKS! If you want to, you can e-mail Wyatt and he'll write you back. He LOVES e-mail so much! His e-mail address is NewBrnCar4wyatt@aol.com . Please feel free to e-mail him anytime! Have a great week and remember, Wyatt loves you and so do I!

Brett, Just missing you. I was wondering If mom got pics I sent to you from when we were at the lake this summer. It was so much fun to go out on the pontoon boat with you. I had a great time! I especially like swimming in the pool with you and you jumping from me to Nan! Wasn't Bobby a Hoot. Heard you are going to be batman forever, and your going trick or traeting with Nan and Bobby. Hope you have fun! I just had surgery and I told my surgeon and all the nurses about you and showed them your pics. They think you are amazing and I'm suppose to e-mail them back your website address. Can't wait for my halloween pics. Love Aunt Keeta

Hi Brett- I love all the graphics on your site! You certainly are a handsome young man. Best wishes to you and your family. MJ emailed your cookbook fundraiser to me. I met MJ because she helped me do a website on www.caringbridge.org for two of my three children. My boys are ages 9 and 6. They have Stargardts Disease, in which they begin losing vision at a young age. At age 9, my oldest son, Matthew, is legally blind, and he continues to lose vision daily. Josh just turned 6 and is beginning to show symptoms of vision loss too. Emily is about to turn 3 and she didn't inherit the disease. It's autosomal recessive like SMA. Your parents can explain that to you! Nice to meet you! Hugs- Mindy and family

Hi Brett! Arturo and I were just checking your site for new updates. It looks like your mom has been working on adding some new things to your site. Arturo loves all the music and the Spiderman and Spongebob backgrounds. Kalair is asleep or we would show her too. Turo, Tim and I are looking forward to seeing you and your mommy on our trip to Utah soon. Tim and I don't really like going there so often, but this trip will be more fun than our others because YOU will be there too! Kalair is jealous though, so you will have to come to our new house soon so she can see you too. Are you excited for Halloween tomorrow? Do you have big plans? Kalair is going to be a witch this year and Arturo is our handsome, little devil, LOL. We'll be sure to send you some pics and have your mom send us some of you in your costume too, okay? We love you, and we will see you soon. (((HUG))) ~Liz, Kalair and Arturo's mom

BUDDY-- What a trip this weekend to The Cotton Bowl!!! You were AWESOME and I had such a great time road tripping with you down to Big D. You are such a trooper putting up with your dad and I our abnormal behavior when we got to Husker football games. I had such a good time just hanging out and watching you enjoy all the things we packed into 3 days. OK City Memorial, Grassy Nolle, Dallas Alley, and The Cotton Bowl. You were so well behavied and the day you were up from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. was off the charts. Anyway I was glad that I got to share in your first football game although The Big Red lost :( Take care..

I HAVE A SON DX. WITH SMA 2, AGE 17 NOW. SMA 2 HAVE A CHANCE TO LIVE A LONG LIFE. MOST I KNOW LIVE INTO ABOUT 60. WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY AND THE CLINICAL TRIALS ON MEDICATION, WE WILL HAVE A CURE OR AT LEAST MEDICATION TO PROLONG THEIR LIFE EVEN LONGER. IT WILL BE IN THEIR LIFE TIME! EVERY SMA CHILD RESPONDS DIFFERENTLY, SO YOU HAVE TO OBSERVE WHAT HE IS CAPIBLE OF DOING AND WHAT HE REALLY ISN'T ABLE TO DO AND KEEP UP WILL ALL INFORMATION ON SMA. IF YOUR SON CAN WALK, LET HIM WALK INSIDE OF RIDE IN A BUGGY, LET HIM CRAWL IF HE CAN . THE MORE HE TRYS TO DO FOR HIMSELF THE BETTER. MY SON HAS NEVER HAD PNEUMONIA LIKE OTHER SMAS, THAT IS BECAUSE HE ISN'T OUTSIDE IN THE COLD AND I TOOK HIM OUT OF SCHOOL IN THE THIRD GRADE TO HOME SCHOOL HIM. HE WOULD GET SICK AT SCHOOL AND PICK UP EVERYTHING FROM OTHER KIDS. INSTEAD WE SPENT TIME AT THE PARK, WITH NEIGHBORHOOD CHILDREN, FAMILY ECT FOR SOCIAL SKILLS. I DO A LOT OF MEDICAL RESEARCH AND STUDY CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY, ENDOCRINOLOGY, HERBS ECT... MEDICINE, ANYTHING MEDICAL ABOUT RARE DISEASES. WHERE I LIVE THERE ARE NO SMA CHILDREN AND THE DOCTORS HERE DON'T HAVE A CLUE. LAST YEAR MY SON WENT INTO A COMA, A DIABETIC COME. NOT BECAUSE HE HAD DIABETES, BUT BECAUSE HE WAS CONSTIPATED, FASTED 2 DAYS AND WHEN I GAVE HIM BISCACODLY(DUCOLAX) OR PHOSTATE-NA+(SALINE ) WHICH IS JUST AN ENIMA, HIS MUSCLE WENT CRAZY AND STARTED JERKING AS IF HIS LEGS WERE HAVING THEIR OWN SEZURES. WENT TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE THEY GAVE HIM A WHOLE BOTTLE(HALF GALLON) OF GATERAIDE UNTIL THEY REALIZE HE WAS SPILLING GLUCOSE 500 IN URINE AND 500 IN BLOOD, IN AND OUT OF CONSCIENCE AND HE HAD KETOACIDOSIS. ALL SIGNS OF DIABETES, BUT IT WASN'T DIABETES. OF COURSE THE NATURAL COURSE WAS TO ADMINISTER INSULIN POTASSIUM .... TO BRING IT DOWN, BUT AFTER THAT EVERYTHING SHOULD HAVE NORMALIZED. IT DID, BUT I HAD TO CONVIENCE THE DOCTORS THAT HE DIDN'T NEED INSULIN SHOTS 4 TIMES A DAY AND IF THEY WOULD JUST TAKE HIM OFF EVERYTHING AND WATCH THEY WOULD SEE, AND SO THEY DID AND I WAS RIGHT. JUST A HUNCH. STILL THEY SENT ME WITH INSULIN HOME JUST IN CASE. WELL HE HAS BEEN FINE. NO KETO ASCIDOSIS ( THERE ARE STRIPS AT DRUGS STORES TO TEST THIS) NO GLUCOSE PROBLEMS PER METER, AND HE IS FINE. STRANGE THING THO, HE HAD HYPERGLUCOSES IN THE HOSPITAL, I THOUGHT MOST SMA WITH THIS FINDING HAD HYPOGLUCOSES WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I THINK THAT ENIMA AND BISACODLY PLAYED A ROLE IN THIS, FOR ONE THEY MAKE U LOSE POTASSIUM, CALCIUM, SODIUM (THE ELECTROLYTES- YOUR MUSCLES AND NEVERS NEED TO FUNCTION RIGHT). SMA MUST INVOLVE THE SODIUM POTASSIUM PUMP AN OTHER ELECTROLYTE METABOLISM - BALANCE PROBLEMS. ANYWAYS I SAID ENOUGH. I REALLY JUST WANT TO SAY, YOUR SON WILL BE OK. JUST LOVE HIM AND SPEND AS MUCH TIME WITH HIM AS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE LIKE OTHER CHILDREN WHEN THEY BECOME TEENS, THEY WANT THEIR SPACE, SMA IS NO DIFFERENT. TEACH HIM THat he is valuable and can do almost anything! sma children are outgoing and smart!! god loves his children-all of them!
