Hi Kalair! I'm enjoying seeing all your new pictures as they come out! Soon it will be your 2nd birthday! Isn't that something?! I'm sure you will get tons of presents and will be able to do whatever you want for the day, and I hope you have a wonderful time!

Oh how exciting! My Pooka has a guestbook! Anyone reading here will quickly learn just how silly about my precious granddaughter I am. She is the light of my life, ( my beloved husband and daughter understand ) She makes me happy everyday! Kalair is bright and beautiful. And, although a true SMA type 1 child, extremely healthy and happy at home with her Mommy. Thank you dear Lord and thank you to all of the angels that came into our lives with Kalair. All of our dear SMA family that have so generously shared so much of their own experience and time with us. To them we owe the extremely high quality of Kalair's life. Indeed, we owe them her very life. For though there is still no cure for this devastating disease, every year there is a higher percentage of children for whom the suffering has been drastically reduced thereby indefinitely extending their "good time". This makes them among the first generation to have the chance to hang around until the cure comes. As it will. Anyone doubting that should rent the movie "Lorenzo's oil" We are more lucky than Lorenzo's family was because we have been taught how to keep Kalair very comfortable while she waits for the cure. Again, I thank God! And again I thank all of our SMA family for all of the wonderful, practical knowledge imparted that enables us to avoid so much of the predicted suffering. Both those who are incredibly blessed to still have their angel children here on earth with them and most tenderly those who's treasured angels have returned to Heaven. Thank you all. The help and love from you all has been a direct answer to prayers that we prayed to be shown how to reduce the suffering that the doctors predicted. I also must thank Dr. John Bach for all that he has done for Kalair and so many SMA angels. He and the wonderful staff at the University Hospital at Newark New Jersey have made worked miracles for so many. By listening to what families need and offering practical, down to earth help. For not being afraid to be a little bit controversial to help even one child. Thank you to Dr. Anne Gettel at our local facility, Children's Mercy Hospital for supporting us with the prescriptions that we need. For respecting the fact that when you have to give a family a diagnosis/prognosis as devastating as SMA type 1, it is not unreasonable to let them try a few benign things that are a little controversial. We find ourselves with a blessedly healthy little girl that is living well at the age of 2 yrs and who's biggest respiratory challenge is an occassional normal 2yr old tantrum. (insert a big smile here please) Don't get me wrong, we are very proactive and downright obsessive where germs are concerned (smile) Lots has and continues to go into this wonderful outcome. It is all worth it. Every smile on her face punctuates that fact. My beloved daughter Liz is an amazing mother and caregiver. Kalair picked her well. I am so proud of them both. And so very grateful. I LOVE YOU KALAIR! "I know grandma, I know!" "Could you move over? You are blocking teletubies!" Ah, the luxury of an everyday routine. We are so blessed. Love to all who read here.

Kalair, I love you with all my heart. And I am so lucky, because I get to see you everyday!!!! You are almost 2 year old, and I can remember the first time I met you and your mommy when you were just a little peanut, and now you are a BIG girl. I am so blessed that you are in my life. I will love you forever, and ever. So will uncle Tim, if you ever let him touch you again. No he will love you anyway. You stay healthy and keep sending Malia kisses for me everyday, and remember that I love you more than anything. You've got so many people that want to meet you soon, and a great mommy and daddy and grandma. We all love you so much, precious little almost 2 year old. I will see you later. Love aunt Stephanie and uncle Tim.

Hi Kalair! We are so glad that you finally have a guest book. We are truly blessed to have you and your Mommy as are friends (one of our bests!). You both have stuck to our sides through thick and thin and we are so grateful for you both. When we meet in May I will be expecting a big hug (and so will Sky). It is so hard to believe that you will be two in just a couple days. When we first met you were only about 9 months... Boy how time flies!! We love you and may God bless and keep you healthy always. See you soon....

You have always been cute, but you are even more beautiful all grown up. I wish we could come celebrate your Birthday with you but Dontae has a cold. But I will be thinking of you tomorrow, say hello to Malia if you see her. I am sending you a big hug and kiss from all of us. Talk to you soon, Teresa, Mia, and Dontae

Hi Baby Girl, I just wanted to say how much I love you (as if you don't already hear it 5 million times a day)! I am SO blessed to be your mommy, and I love every minute of being with you, precious two year old! I am sitting here right now listening to your bi-pap and music box as you fall asleep, and I am so grateful to God! I just checked on you and your monitor reads 100%, 91 heart rate...it doesn't get any better than that! Well, I guess I'll quit for now. I could ramble on forever, but I'll see you in the morning, and I can start again then. You're the best Pooka! Goodnight.

Dear Kalair, I just wanted to remind you of how very proud i am to be the parent of such a lovely child. Life gets very rough and sometimes seems the opposite of promising, but when i think about the wonderful beautiful child I have who i love to death, it makes my days much easier. It really sucks being in school and away from you as much as i have to be. I promise it will all pay off in the end. I can't believe that you are already 2 years old-it seems like i was just meeting you the other day, holding you in my arms as you gazed at the giant figure above you. I am doing all that I can so that the rest of your life can be a great one. You are a survivor, very tough at heart. I know this and can see it in you because your father is the same way. So you keep fighting Kalair, because you know that Daddy is fighting right along with and for you. Always. I love you soooooooooooooo much! Dad

Dear Kalair, I am so proud of you Kalair. You are absolutely amazing! You are my inspiration, you are my hope. When I think enough is enough I just think of you. That is all it takes to keep me going, just one thought of you. I will NEVER forget the first day I met you. It was fate that brought us together but it is you that keeps us going. Gosh, I just remember how tiny you were and boy what a 'momma's girl'. I was determined to win you over! Now look at you. You are such a big girl now. I cannot wait to see you again. I will keep fighting for you Kalair, I promise! With love, Jennifer PS: Liz, I so respect and look up to you. You are an amazing mother. I am there for you, whenever you need anything, just say the word. God bless.

Kalair, what can I say about you that hasn't already been said. Your smile and your sassy personality has brought many a smile to my face when Amy has told me another of your stories. Both of you may never know how often you are thought of in a loving way. I pray for you by name every night that God will keep you in His care until a cure is found. you are the true Bi-Pap Princess. Goodnight.

Well well, I get on here and see that my mom and dad have been visiting your website too and have said such nice and wonderful things. I am as always excited to see more pictures of beautiful Kalair. I had such a nice dream last night about a cure coming (I have thought so much about what you told me that I am now dreaming about it!) and our kids were totally healed and able to run around and play it was wonderful!! I am holding on for that time and when it comes Lily and I are making a trip to see you all and letting them get dirty together (and absolutely NO VIDEOS)!! Hugs to you all and talk to you soon.

To my baby, Pooka...I am SO blessed to be the mother of such a precious two year old angel!! Every time I see your smile, every time I hear your voice, every time I watch you sleep, every time I kiss you and hug you and smell your sweet smell, I am overcome with joy and gratitude for the gift that is YOU!! We are so blessed not only with each other but with so many loving friends and family members who have helped us get this far. In May it will be two years since we found out you had SMA...all I can say is, what a two years!! We have met so many wonderful friends, and we have laughed and cried and learned so much with them along the way. It still breaks my heart that I have met some of my best friends through this devastating disease, but I know that God has a purpose for each one of these special people, and I am glad to be a part of their lives in any way I can. People make such a big deal of the time that I spend trying to help other families learn how to help their precious kids, but I only wish I could do more. If it weren't for helpful, generous people who shared their knowledge with us, we would not be where we are today. I want everyone's precious angels to be as happy and healthy as my Kalair for as long as God keeps them on earth, and I will continue to share knowledge wherever I can to help that happen. THANK YOU GOD FOR MY MANY BLESSINGS AND ESPECIALLY FOR MY SWEET DAUGHTER'S LIFE AND CONTINUED GOOD HEALTH!! AMEN! To my friends and family reading here, thank you for all that you do! You are all in my thoughts and prayers and we love you lots!! Can't wait to see many of you in May! Hugs to you all!!

Hi Kalair.. We wanted to let you know we stopped by. We are so excited that we are finally getting to meet you next month. Sky is so happy that she gets to play with one of her bestest friends. Your Mommy threatened that I have to carry you around the room so I could see how it is going to be when Sky gets as big as you. That's ok.. I don't mind my back breaking. As long as when it is when I am holding you. We are truly blessed to have you and Mommy in our lives. She is one of my best friends. We talk so much and sometimes it is just about any average day crisis. Got to love her! Well, I think Sky is about ready for bed. She actually took a good bath tonight (she didn't even hold her breath) but I think it wore her out. She sends you big hugs and kisses.. Talk to you soon. Love you tons!!

Hi Kalair!I am also looking forward to playing with you next month. I really don't have "dress up things" but if you and Hannah give me some tips I think I could get Mommy to buy me some. Mommy is still not sure of the swimming thing. If she decides yes though, I could get my broviac wet, as long as Mommy changes my dressing when I am done. Besides, they say the chlorine is good for cleansing. She was telling me that we are probably going to have to label everything since there will be so many pieces of equiptment around.. we can't mess them up! Tell Aunt Liz to let Mommy know what's going on with rooms as soon as she can so Mommy could know if she has to reserve one for herself. Also tell her I said.. we want the Easter pics up. I love the one of Aunt Liz smooching you. Well, I guess I better get going. Mommy and I have to run to the bank (well we must pic up Gramma first, so Mommy doesn't have to take me in.) I love riding..... Love you, Skylar Elizabeth

I love the sesame street stuff, I just started watching Sesame Street because now we get it on our TV (didn't before) and I love Big Bird and the others too. I hope that some day we can meet in person but until then I will just have mommy log into your web page and let me look at all your new pictures. Love, Samantha Dodaro (SMA type I - 2 years old) P.S.

I pray everyday that God give you strength. You are my angel. Liz, you are an amazing mother. It is your determination and your strength that has kept Kalair going and everyone else.

Dear Kalair I was visiting your web site again. I have many times. You are truly a very beautiful girl. You always look happy and smiling. Your mother is a very special person---the way she cares for you can be seen (from a nurse and mother's view) as the very best. Also Beautiful Kalair I wanted to mention the letter from your daddy. It was beautiful. I know how much he must love you after reading it. I hope Mommy makes a copy for you so you will always have it. He must have a heart "as big as he is". Say hi to Mommy and grandma Sallie. They are very special people. So good-night beautiful and always remember there is some one "In southwest Virginia named Edith" who loves you very much. Also about the "cranes for a cure" I sent 1 in honor of you and 1 in memory Our precious Andrew "Booper". Good night Baby Girl! Stay healthy and beautiful!

Kalair you are so much more beautiful in person..a true princess and you so gracefully let Lily watch her movies (even though you are WAY to big of a girl for them). We cannot wait to see you all again! Thank you both so much for being our inspirations and for all the help you have given us! We love you so very much!

Hi Boo Boo, I don't write on your website much because I am so busy taking care of you, but I thought I'd make a quick entry now. I am grateful every day for my healthy, happy. little girl, and I am grateful that you are at home playing just where you should be. I am especially grateful today though, since you scared Mommy yesterday. I am grateful that you seem better today and I may never know what was wrong yesterday, but a temp of over 103 is enough to scare any mommy! Anyway, God is good, prayers work, and I am SO grateful for you, my princess, and your continued good health. Well, listening to your songs of joy over the monitor make me want to record them to share with the world. Anyone who met you and heard one of your songs or saw one of your many smiles in person, could never doubt the high quality of your life. But since I can't let you meet the whole world, I guess I'll just have to stop with the writing and go give you extra big hugs and kisses! With love to eternity, Mom

It would be very close ;) You hold your head up very good too. I hate to hold mine up and my scrawny neck won't hold up my big head anyway, :). Anyway, mom and I enjoyed looking at your web site.

Dear Pook, sorry I have not been able to see you very much lately but daddy has no car at the present time. But I'm sure you understand and know that I'd spend every moment of my life with you if I could. In my times of deepest turmoil, pain, and lonliness, I think of you-and nothing seems so bad anymore becasue of the life of my flesh and blood who continues to live and breathe this air. No matter what happens in life, fail or succeed, I always have you, so always you and me. I love ya so so much. Daddy

Happy third birthday darling. Look at you! Three years old today! And the diagnosing doctors didn't think you would live to see one. Shows what they new. You fooled them didn't you? :o) And I have to thank Dr. John Bach for all that he has done for you and so many other SMA children. And a special thanks to the families who were so generous with their time and experience over two and a half years ago when we went looking for the help that was not offered by our local doctors. Thank you Anne and Mo and Stephanie and Mary and all of our dear friends for those first days of hope and for all of the wonderful, healthy, life that you continue to live. Everything that Dr. Bach and these friends told us so long ago was true. But most of all Kalair, I want to thank you. For fighting and living and for lifting me up and making me strive to be a better person. Thank you for coming here to be my beloved granddaughter. Perfect in every way. So much more than my feeble imagination could have imagined. You are my hero. You show me how to meet life and make the most of it. I pray that God will allow me to live a long life that I might spend it with you. All my love, Grandma P.S. Grandpa sends his love too, What would we have done without his love and support? I am so glad that we will never know. G

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!

Well sweet girl, I know I ought to post on your guest book more often so that new people who might come here will know that you are blessedly alive and well at 3years and 4+ months of age:o) I am so lucky to be part of your life! You make me happy EVERYDAY! I don't post more because I am busy living these wonderful, ordinary days with you. Days the doctors and statistics told us we would never have. Way to go Kalair! You show them honey! Through the Grace of God, Your amazing mommy, Dr. John Bach, The amino acid based diet, and all of our so very generous SMA family and friends, You are healthy and home with your mommy and have a real chance to continue to live a comfortable life until the cure for this terrible disease is found. You inspire me everyday Kalair. With your joy for life! Your bright enthusiasm, your song. Your perfection. Life is indeed sweet. For God has given us an angel to love. I am so grateful to God for these, never to be taken for granted, easy, ordinary days and nights! I ask that he guide my every thought and deed to help me grow better and better at being your grandmother. I love you so. My great big 3 year old granddaughter! Thank You, thank You God!

Just wanted to say hey to everyone who visits here since I never get around to writing on Kalair's site. Sorry, but I much prefer playing with Kalair! My beautiful princess was diagnosed with SMA at two months old and now she is three and a half years old, and doing well, praise God! This time three years ago we had just gotten a g-tube, started on the tolerex diet, started using a bipap, cough machine, feeding pump, suction and sat monitor daily. Talk about overwhelming!! But here we are today, and thrilled to be here. Kalair is a beautiful, healthy, spoiled, brilliant, witty, preschooler who happens to have very weak muscles. She loves life more than most people with ten times her physical strength. She is my inspiration, not only the reason I make myself get up in the morning, but the reason I am overjoyed to get up! I am SO blessed to have this angel on earth as my daughter. As you can tell I love to talk about Kalair, but I am not too good about updating the website. And Kalair may have children of her own before I get her whole "story" written, so any newly diagnosed families out there who are interested in what we do for Kalair, please email me! I am always happy to talk about my girl and answer questions. Without a few certain families (you know who you are!) we would not be where we are today, so we're always looking to do the same for other families. SMA sucks, but there is HOPE!!!

Merry Christmas everyone! Kalair and I are having a wonderful day. It's 2 pm and Kalair is napping after an eventful morning. Santa was good to her, and gifts included a STANDER, CD player, beautiful "princess" dress, clothes, movies, and lots more, pictures to come...Last night we went outside and sprinkled "Magic Reindeer Dust" (oats and glitter) so the reindeer would know to stop here and have something to eat. :-) Kalair had SO much fun with this! Mom and Dad were freezing but she laughed and directed where she wanted to sprinkle the stuff (mom helped). We had to sprinkle it in several different spots so the reindeer wouldn't fight. ;) Then we came inside and I realized we needed to leave milk and cookies for Santa but (duh!) we had no milk. So I mixed up some of Kalair's calcium supplement in water to make it white and brought the "milk" and cookies to Kalair to leave for Santa. Konsta, Kalair's dad, did not see me do this, so he's looking at the milk going, "what kind of milk is THAT?" It was too funny. But Kalair did not care, and after a short tantrum when she couldn't put off bedtime any longer, she was down for the night. She slept surprisingly well and woke up ready to open all those presents this morning. We are feeling extremely blessed on this, our princess's fourth christmas. And now this mommy's going to take a nap! Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanzaa, Love and Prayers to all!! Liz, Konsta and Kalair (3.8 yrs w/SMA one)

Dear Kalair and family, We live in England and my little boy is 3 on April 28th 2004, He was diagnosed with SMA 1 aswell, and is doing really well, he has only been in hospital once, with mild chest infection and has no intervention at all. He is our miracle as I am sure you are to your Mum and Dad. You are very beautiful in your photos. Heres to a happy and healthy 2004. Best wishes, Sue Griffin, mum to Lloyd Griffin.

Hi! Sorry I haven't written in awhile, I've been sick and not feeling up to writing. It is so cold here. It snowed and snowed here today! Wyatt loved playing in the snow. He took his favorite toy (his tennis ball) out with him. He played and played for hours! Anyway, I hope you are doing well and it isn't too cold by you. Big hugs from me & Wyatt!

Kalair looks great! She has such long hair. This is a great website the way you set it up and pray for Kalair all the time. I am an email friend of the grandmother Sallie Doesn't she look a bit like her grandma? I have only seen one pic of Salle a long time ago but that is what popped into my head when I saw the updated pics of Kalair. It sure looks like you take great care of her and give her all the love she needs. Bye, cat

God Bless to Kalair and her family. I have recently lost a niece in September to this disease. Her name was Ilikea Kamakahukilani which means the fair skinned hawaiian whose eyes pulled heaven. Her name had suited her so well. My little angel was called to heaven. She is missed everyday. She has a website as well http://www.geocities.com/baba_bear2003 God Bless....... :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MOMMY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! My mommy said today was her best birthday ever because it was her fifth birthday with ME. We had a great day and I loved giving mommy her present and lots of birthday smooches all day long. Now we have to hurry and pack all our stuff to leave in 36 hours for our latest vacation...Greenville, South Carolina! We can't WAIT to see all of our good friends, especially Skylar, Skyler, Lily, Hannah and Madison. Well I have to go cough now, I just wanted to wish my mommy a very happy birthday and tell everyone what a fun day we had together. I love you, mommy.

You're my life's one Miracle, Everything I've done that's good And you break my heart with tenderness, And I confess it's true I never knew a love like this till you.... You're the reason I was born Now I finally know for sure And I'm overwhelmed with happiness So blessed to hold you close The one that I love most With all the future has so much for you in store Who could ever love you more? The nearest thing to heaven, You're my angel from above Only God creates such perfect love When you smile at me, I cry And to save your life I'll die With a romance that is pure heart, You are my dearest part Whatever it requires, I live for your desires Forget my own, your needs will come before Who could ever love you more? Well there is nothing you could ever do, To make me stop, loving you And every breath I take, Is always for your sake You sleep inside my dreams and know for sure Who could ever love you more?

This is a true story that occurred in 1994 and was told by Lloyd Glenn. ************ Throughout our lives we are blessed with spiritual experiences, some of which are very sacred and confidential, and others, although sacred, are meant to be shared. Last summer my family had a spiritual experience that had a lasting and profound impact on us, one we feel must be shared. It's a message of love. It's a message of regaining perspective, and restoring proper balance and renewing priorities. In humility. I pray that I might, in relating this story, give you a gift my little son, Brian gave our family one summer day last year. On July 22nd I was in route to Washington DC for a business trip. It was all so very ordinary, until we landed in Denver for a plane change. As I collected my belongings from the overhead bin, an announcement was made for Mr. Lloyd Glenn to see the United Customer Service Representative immediately. I thought nothing of it until I reached the door to leave the plane and I heard a gentleman asking every male if they were Mr. Glenn. At this point I knew something was wrong and my heart sunk. When I got off the plane a solemn-faced young man came toward me and said, "Mr. Glenn there is an emergency at your home. I do not know what the emergency is, or who is involved, but I will take you to the phone so you can call the hospital. My heart was now pounding, but the will to be calm took over. Woodenly, I followed this stranger to the distant telephone where I called the number he gave me for the Mission Hospital. My call was put through to the trauma center where I learned that my three-year-old son had been trapped underneath the automatic garage door for several minutes, and that when my wife had found him he was dead. CPR had been performed by a neighbor, who is a doctor, and the paramedics had continued the treatment as Brian was transported to the hospital. By the time of my call, Brian was revived and they believed he would live, but they did not know how much damage had been done to his brain, nor to his heart. They explained that the door had completely closed on his little sternum right over his heart. He had been severely crushed. After speaking with the medical staff, my wife sounded worried but not hysterical, and I took comfort in her calmness. The return flight seemed to last forever, but finally I arrived at the hospital six hours after the garage door had come down. When I walked into the intensive care unit, nothing could have prepared me to see my little son laying so still on a great big bed with tubes and monitors everywhere. He was on a respirator. I glanced at my wife who stood and tried to give me a reassuring smile. It all seemed like a terrible dream. I was filled in with the details and given a guarded prognosis. Brian was going to live, and the preliminary tests indicated that his heart was ok-two miracles, in and of themselves. But only time would tell if his brain received any damage. Throughout the seemingly endless hours, my wife was calm. She felt that Brian would eventually be all right. I hung on to her words and faith like a lifeline. All that night and the next day Brian remained unconscious. It seemed like forever since I had left for my business trip the day before. Finally at two o'clock that afternoon, our son regained consciousness and sat up uttering the most beautiful words I have ever heard spoken, He said, "Daddy hold me," and he reached for me with his little arms. By the next day he was pronounced as having no neurological or physical deficits, and the story of his miraculous survival spread throughout the hospital. You cannot imagine our gratitude and joy. As we took Brian home we felt a unique reverence for the life and love Of our Heavenly Father that comes to those who brush death so closely. In the days that followed there was a special spirit about our home. Our two older children were much closer to their little brother. My wife and I were much closer to each other, and all of us were very close as a whole family. Life took on a less stressful pace. Perspective seemed to be more focused, and balance much easier to gain and maintain. We felt deeply blessed. Our gratitude was truly profound. [The story is not over] (smile) Almost a month later to the day of the accident, Brian awoke from his afternoon nap and said, "Sit down mommy. I have something to tell you." At this time in his life, Brian usually spoke in small phrases, so to say a large sentence surprised my wife. She sat down with him on his bed and he began his sacred and remarkable story. "Do you remember when I got stuck under the garage door? Well it was so heavy and it hurt really bad. I called to you, but you couldn't hear me. I started to cry, but then it hurt too bad. And then the "birdies" came "The birdies?" my wife asked puzzled. "Yes," he replied. "The birdies" made a whooshing sound and flew into the garage. They took care of me." "They did?" "Yes, he said." "One of the birdies" came and got you. She came to tell you I got stuck under the door." A sweet reverent feeling filled the room. The spirit was so strong and yet lighter than air. My wife realized that a three-year-old had no concept of death and spirits, so he was referring to the beings who came to him from beyond as "birdies" because they were up in the air like birds that fly. "What did the birdies look like?" she asked. Brian answered. "They were so beautiful. They were dressed in white all white. Some of them had green and white. But some of them had on just white." "Did they say anything?" "Yes" he answered. They told me the baby would be all right." "The baby?" my wife asked confused. And Brian answered. "The baby laying on the garage floor." He went on, "You came out and opened the garage door and ran to the baby. You told the baby to stay and not leave." My wife nearly collapsed upon hearing this, for she had indeed gone and knelt beside Brian's body and seeing his crushed chest and unrecognizable features, knowing he was already dead, she looked up around her and whispered, "Don't leave us Brian, please stay if you can. As she listened to Brian telling her the words she had spoken, she realized that the spirit had left his body and was looking down from above on this little lifeless form. "Then what happened?" she asked. "We went on a trip." he said, "far, far away.." He grew agitated trying to say the things he didn't seem to have the words for. My wife tried to calm and comfort him, and let him know it would be okay. He struggled with wanting to tell something that obviously was very important to him, but finding the words was difficult. "We flew so fast up in the air." "They're so pretty Mommy." he added. "And there is lots and lots of "birdies". My wife was stunned. Into her mind the sweet comforting spirit enveloped her more soundly, but with an urgency she had never before known. Brian went on to tell her that the 'birdies' had told him that he had to come back and tell everyone about the "birdies". He said they brought him back to the house and that a big fire truck, and an ambulance were there. A man was bringing the baby out on a white bed and he tried to tell the man the baby would be okay, but the man couldn't hear him. He said, "birdies told him he had to go with the ambulance, but they would be near him. He said, they were so pretty and so peaceful, and he didn't want to come back. And then the bright light came. He said that the light was so bright and so warm, and he loved the bright light so much. Someone was in the bright light and put their arms around him, and told him, "I love you but you have to go back. You have to play baseball, and tell everyone about the birdies." Then the person in the bright light kissed him and waved bye-bye. Then whoosh, the big sound came and they went into the clouds." The story went on for an hour. He taught us that "birdies" were always with us, but we don't see them because we look with our eyes and we don't hear them because we listen with our ears. But they are always there, you can only see them in here (he put his hand over his heart). They whisper the things to help us to do what is right because they love us so much. Brian continued, stating, "I have a plan, Mommy. You have a plan. Daddy has a plan. Everyone has a plan. We must all live our plan and keep our promises. The "birdies help us to do that cause they love us so much." In the weeks that followed, he often came to us and told all, or part of it again and again. Always the story remained the same. The details were never changed or out of order. A few times he added further bits of information and clarified the message he had already delivered. It never ceased to amaze us how he could tell such detail and speak beyond his ability when he spoke of his "birdies." Everywhere he went, he told strangers about the "birdies". Surprisingly, no one ever looked at him strangely when he did this. Rather, they always get a softened look on their face and smiled. Needless to say, we have not been the same ever since that day, and I pray we never will be.

Dearest Kalair! My mommy told me you came to check on me, thank you. I am feeling much better now and back to being my regular good self (although I think mommy thinks I am to bossy). I miss you and love you. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and get spoiled rotten, I know I will be spoiled too. Mommy said to tell your mommy that we need new pictures to see too. I can't believe you are almost 5 years old too! I can't believe I wasn't quite 1 when I first met you. Mommy said to tell you she is sending you big hugs and kisses and me too. I love you and Miss you, you are always my first rotten princess. Big hugs and kisses to you, your mommy, and Grandma Sallie!

visiting my little Kalair, happy 5th christmas little girl, or I should say big girl. Liz you are so very lucky to have your little girl with you. My new little g-daughter Erica LOVES EMLO. We watch tapes and sing to Saria's Elmo that she never got to sing to. We look at pictures of Saria and I SWEAR Erica knows Saria, really, it is unreal, we point to pictures of Saria and Erica smiles and giggles and talks to Saria's pictures. We miss our little girl very very much but Erica has brought Joy to our lives. Do we feel guilty? Yes sometimes but we rejoice in her birth and the joy she brings to our lives. Dear Kalair give your mommy and daddy hugs from Oklahoma. I come to your site often to look at your signed guestbook and look at pictures. You have a wonderful family and I AM SO HAPPY for their 5th Christmas with you. You and your mommy and daddy, gma and gpa and aunts,uncles, counsins etc are an inspiration to our family, They are very very lucky to have you sweet Kalair in their lives. HUGS from Oklahoma and Saria's grandma Sandy

Oh Kalair, our sweet Shreya has flown home, I am heartbroken for her precious family. To all who read here, please pray for the family of Shreya Moholkar. Her family lives in India and Shreya was the first SMA child to successfully use the NIV protocol in their country. In the past three years, Shreya's mommy and daddy were valiant warriors in finding and executing the very best care for their precious angel. Shailesh, if you read this please know how much my family loves and admires you and yours. Shreya will NEVER be forgotten!!! With love and tears, Kalair's mommy, Liz

I want to wish my beloved granddaughter, Miss Kalair Mariana Myrick, a great big HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Way to go Kalair! I love you so much! Kalair is FIVE years old today. I am so very grateful. For those who don't know her I will tell you a little about our Kalair. Kalair is an early onset Type 1 child. She was really diagnosed before she was two months old although the results of the blood test did not come back until after she was two months of age. Kalair never held her head up let alone came even close to sitting. Her legs were completely floppy. The only movement she had in her lower extremities was in her ankles. She would flip her tiny feet up and down. She could only move her arms from the elbow and even then she often needed help because the friction of her arm on the surface she was lying on would prevent her from fully extending her arm or bringing it back to her face. She was a breast fed baby and nursed well enough to thrive and become a little butterball. But at five months of age she profoundly lost her swallow. I will never forget the day that she was no longer able to take ANYTHING by mouth. It didn't matter what it was, how it was offered, how thin or how thick, nothing worked anymore. Suddenly our precious girl could no longer eat or drink. Everything she tried to swallow went down the wrong way and choked her. I can't emphasize enough how dramatic Kalair's swallow loss was. Luckily, we were blessed to have connected with some other families a couple of months before this occurred. I had met a lovely lady named Anne Meguiar at the 2000 FSMA conference. She was there with her friend Viv and another lady named Mo who turned out to be one of Anne's twin granddaughter's nurses. Through Anne we were to meet her wonderful daughter Dana who was at home taking care of the girls, Cassidy and Skylar when I met Anne. The twins were three years old at that time. I also heard a wonderful mother named Mary Bodzo speak about weak SMA children having special dietary needs and what she said sounded very logical to me. Like Anne, I had gone to that first conference alone while my daughter Liz stayed home with Kalair. When I returned home to tell Liz all that I had learned. She told me that she was talking to another mother of a three year old girl that she had met online. This was Stephanie Price, mother to Hannah. Many people have helped us over the last five years and we are eternally grateful to all. But it was the kindness and generousity of these original two families (You too Mo!)that answered our first anguished prayers for guidance after Kalair was diagnosed. They never made us any promises about what might or might not be possible for our sweet Kalair. And we knew that she had been diagnosed very young. Anne told me, "What we do is hard." But when asked, both the Swansons and the Prices shared their wealth of experience in optimizing the health of a Type 1 child. They told us to call them, "day or night", if we needed anything. Through them, we knew what we needed to do next when Kalair so profoundly lost her swallow. By the time it happened we had already sifted through all of the information we had gathered and made our choices about what we wanted to do to try to give Kalair the best possible life she could have. Through these families we knew what to expect at each turn and had time to decide before a crisis was upon us how we would choose to deal with Kalair's losses. Our diagnosing doctors not only offered no hope for Kalair's life, fully expecting her to die before she reached one, but they really didn't offer us any management techniques to even optimize her health or keep her truly comfortable. They only offered hospice care, a wonderful thing for those who need it, but we had a bright eyed little girl who let us know in so many ways that she was not ready to succumb to her disease. So it was through these friends and families that we were able to first, spare Kalair SO much suffering. Suffering that would have come if we had not known what to expect next and hadn't had the time to decide how we wanted to proceed when we reached each point. In those early days, we had no reason to not believe that what our diagnosing doctors had told us was true. They said she would die and die soon. But they also told us that she would suffer and then die. And that there was nothing that could be done to make her way easier. We had to try to reduce the predicted suffering. Initially we were just looking to optimize Kalair's health, maybe extend her good time a little and mainly to ease her way. To keep her as comfortable as possible. And a wonderful side effect of the path we chose for Kalair is that she is now FIVE years old. We chose a path for her, a path that we felt was right for Kalair, that included nighttime ventilation using a BiPAP machine, a cough machine as needed, a suction machine, a SAT monitor, a gtube and a special amino acid based diet. This may sound like an overwhelming list of things to a newly diagnosed family but to Kalair these things are what keep her happy, healthy and comfortable. Just part of her life. She LOVES her BiPAP. I mean she had a real affection for it as well as needing it. The very sound of it is comforting to her. And she actually asks to be coughed when she needs it. So I name the first, dear families who helped and inspired us in so many ways by name and follow by thanking all of those who came after them from the bottom of my heart. The Swansons and the Prices were just the first of so many earthly angels to go out of their way to help Kalair. After five years there are too many to list here. But you know who you are. I humbly thank you all. So now I could tell you about the things that Kalair cannot do. She is profoundly handicapped after all. But instead I will list just a few of the things she CAN do. She can be happy. And often is. More than many kids without SMA. She can also be ornery! LOL She is a woman of strong opinions. She is possessed of a wry wit and virtually never misses a punch line. She is becoming more adept at using her wonderful computer with her awesome special switches every day. She uses her arm sling made for her by the Swanson twins to use her computer and to comb her my little pony's hair. She exercises and dances in time to the music in her leg slings I made by expanding the Swanson's arm slings. You should see her go. She moves strongly and vigorously. Her legs are now stronger than they were back before she lost her swallow all those years ago. And she is always ready to move. The minute I put her legs and feet into the slings she takes off. It must feel so good to be able to move like that. She makes her grandmother happy every day. Kalair is a real girly girl. She loves pretty clothes, Barbies, my little ponies, and anything glamorous. She spends many hours singing a happy song of her own composition. She has the most wonderful giggle in the world. She LOVES to be read to. During her fourth year we read the entire Little House on the Prairie series together. She was NOT happy when I ran out of the Wilder books. Recently we read Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, Where the Red Fern Grows (she finds it extra entertaining when Grandma blubbers through the sad parts) and we read Island of the Blue Dolphins all in one day a couple of days ago. She will happily listen for literally hours at a time to books that are rated for children much older than she. She has outgrown her early Sesame Street addiction but still adores Elmo. Kalair is happy at home but does love to go places too. We are very selective, especially this time of year because of the cold and flu dangers, but she does get to go just for fun now and then. Recently her friend Brett came over and they had a snowball fight. She loved it. Thanks Brett. She also loves to swim. Always has. She still kicks up a storm in the tub but she is a big girl now and she can't move around there like she used to so she really looks forward to summer and a chance to swim in a big pool. Now that Kalair is a big girl, she is going to kindergarten at home. Liz is home schooling her using a literature based curriculum. Wow, our girl is not a baby any more. Thank you God. And thank every single person along this wonderful journey of the last five years. We never take a minute for granted. We are so humbly grateful for every minute, every hour, every day with Kalair. As we celebrate this joyful day with Kalair. We will be thinking especially of baby Jacob's mommy and sister as they lay him to rest and we we will be sending love and hugs to Ryan Nolan's mommy and daddy on his angel day. Again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KALAIR! I LOVE YOU! And thank you God for answering so many of my prayers for this precious child. And thank you friends, one and all. Kalair's grateful Grandma

Quote for today: "To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived, this is to have succeeded." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Kalair, Just wanted to let you know that Malia's little brother is doing great and getting big!! I can't wait for you to meet him, and I can't wait to meet your new little brother. It won't be long now, so you and your mommy better get all the sleep you can before he gets here. I miss you and love you very much, Love, Aunt Stephanie

Hey Pooka, Just wanted to write and let you know I was thinking of you. I hope you and your little brother are doing great. I saw some pictures of him and he is beautiful!! I can't wait to see some new pictures of you. I think your mommy's computer is still sick so hopefully when it is better, she can put some new ones of you on your site. Taye is growing and growing. He has 3 teeth already and is pilling himself up trying to walk. He just learned how to crawl so it is all happening so fast. Is your brother crawling yet? Be sure to give Tim some extra love for awhlie bacause his dog Mijo died on Friday and he has been really upset about it. I asked Malia to send him some extra hugs as well. Be sure to tell her "hi" for me when you see her again. I really miss you little angel, and wish I could come and pick you up and spend the day wih you. Just know that I am thinking of you and praying that you stay as healthy as you can for as long as possible. I love you, and Taye and I are sending hugs and kissess your way!! Love, Aunt Stephanie

Just posting a quick message on my princess's site while I actually have internet access...Kalair, I am the luckiest mommy ever because you are MY little girl. Well, MY not-so-little girl really! I cannot believe you will be SIX years old this Thursday, you will always be my baby girl, but man, you are almost as tall as your momma already! Baby, I love you SOOOOOO much, more than life itself. I couldn't have imagined a more beautiful, perfect, little daughter if I tried, and if I had dreamed you up, I'd never have thought myself worthy to be your mom. Thank you, God, for blessing me with six whole years with an amazing, little angel on earth! I am grateful for every single day... Hey, did I mention how much I LOVE YOU, KALAIR?!? ;) Well, I do! And so do brother and Tim, and Grandma and Grandpa, and Daddy and sister, and SOOO many more...and we can't wait to celebrate your big day with you, just a few more days! OMG, brother is so tired, he just fell asleep in his walker beside me, LOL, I'd better go lay him down! Love and prayers to all who read here... Liz, Kalair's mommy

Hey Kalair M! It is I, your father. I just wanted to wish you a very happy birthday and tell you what an honor it is to have you as a daughter. I couldn't wish for a more precious little princess who is wise beyond her years and stronger at heart than I could ever hope to be. I'm quite proud of all that you have accomplished in these last six years. You're my hero. I look up to you, my child. XOXOXO. God bless you. Thank you lord my my darling Kalair...

What a happy day it is Kalair. You are SIX years old! And you are here with all of us who love you SO much. Praise the Lord! It makes me so happy to see you basking in the love and adoration of all of your family on this very special birthday. Just now I cried tears of joy watching your Daddy and Mommy kissing you at the same time and making you smile your biggest smile. Uncle Tim, Baby Brother and I smiled too to see you so happy. We all love you Kalair and your love brings us all together as one family, your family. We are so blessed to have you with us still you big SIX year old. Way to go girl! I always knew you could do it. We knew that you and God know lots more than all the doctors in the world. Thank you for coming to be my granddaughter dear child. You fill my heart with joy and make me a better person. I love you, I love you. Grandma

Happy St. Patrick's Day to my little Sunshine! You surely make me happy, every day! I can remember what you wore on your very first St. Patrick's Day...could it really have been six years ago? You were only three weeks old, but you were already getting FAT and you had a little green jumpsuit and a shirt that went under it that (I think) had frogs on it. You were so fat and cute, my chubby, little, brown cherub! And I remember Grandma took pictures of us, of course! She took pictures of about every other breath you took back then, LOL. Anyway, words cannot express how grateful I am to be celebrating your SEVENTH St. Patrick's Day with you today, your my angel, sweet girl, and I love you so much!!! ....................................................................................... Thank you, to all the Kalair supporters who read here! I PROMISE that we are going to continue to update the princesses site (and SOON!), and we will add lots more pics, I know we are WAY behind. But starting a website for Arturo has inspired us to work on Miss Kalair's as well, so if you haven't already, check out her birthday party pictures on page fourteen of her photo pages and keep checking back for more updates! ....................................................................................... Mia, if you read this, this is from Kalair...Thank you for signing my guestbook. I know you are Arturo and Malia's big cousin and I am glad that you want to be my big cousin too! I already told Shay that she is my honorary big sister too because normally I am the big sis, but it is fun to have bigger sisters too! I hope I can see you sometime, I think I was a baby the last time you saw me. I am very big now, I am starting the first grade! What grade are you in? I hope you can visit me sometime. If you see Shay, tell her I said hi! And when Malia visits me, I will tell her to visit you both in your dreams. I love you, Kalair

Kalair, I can't believe how big and beautiful you are! We're just thinking about you tonight. And your mommy, Grandma Sallie, and brother Turo too. We think about them alot but we stay so busy that it's hard to keep in touch with them the way we'd like. But know you are all in our prayers. What an amazing family you have. Love, Gina, Angel Andrew, Luke, and Brayden

We are just loving all the new updates on Princess Kalair's site! SOON I will get those new pics online, one way or another! ....................................................................................... GINA!!! We, too, think of you guys often. We can't imagine how busy your boys must be keeping you, do you have any new pics online? We'd love to see some! Give them big squeezes from us. ....................................................................................... Aunt Lisa and Princess Julia, we love you guys! Kalair is glad you like her new website stuff because she helped MJ pick it out. My baby girl is getting so big! And my little guy is calling, gotta run! ....................................................................................... Love and prayers to all our SMA family!

Keyara, I have been praying for your little cousin. I've seen her picture on the FSMA webpage before, she is very pretty and I hope she is feeling better now. I will keep her in my prayers! .......................................................................................Cousin Mia, I am jealous that brother got to come play with you a few days ago and I didn't! Mommy explained to me that it was really not a day for playing, but Arturo seemed like he had a pretty good time!!! As you know, Shay is staying at my house this weekend, maybe next time you can come with her! I love you, and if you are reading this message at school I hope you are having a good day. And yes, I think 10th grade is pretty OLD, LOL, my mommy told me she was in tenth grade when she met my daddy!!! Now mommy thinks that age seems pretty young, but to me it is still very grown up!!! .......................................................................................Kiana, of course I know who you are! You are Malia's other big sis! Thanks for signing my gb and I hope your mom will call you really soon. I liked seeing the pictures you sent my mom. You should make yourself a website too, so you can show everyone all your pictures. I think you are a very pretty, big girl, and you do look a LOT like your mom! I wish you lived closer so we could meet, maybe some day...keep in touch though, and keep checking my website for new pics of ME! ;-)

I was just looking at my website trying to help mommy with new ideas for more new big girl pages so I thought I'd say hello to everyone in my guestbook! Grandma Sandy, thanks for saying hello, we still talk about Saria and look at her pictures, she is such a pretty angel. ....................................................................................... Auntie Shaka, I LOVE YOU!!!!!! Mommy told me she and brother got to see you last night, but I am jealous that I did not! As SOON as you get your driver's license, you'd better find time to come visit me!!! Mom also told me you are a cheerleader now! I think that is really cool, send me a picture with Daddy when Grandma Evelyn gets copies. ....................................................................................... Well I have to go because Arturo is acting up...no big surprise there! I am SO glad when Tim gets home every night so I can have mommy to myself! Oh, and speaking of mom, she says to say thank you to all who check up on me here, and we will update my site more very soon! Love, Kalair Myrick

I think your daughter is a beautiful blessing! Cherish every moment. Her photographs are great, Id love to see more of her when she was younger cause those jaws and beautiful eyes are to die for! Wishing your family lots of luck. God Bless
