The whole Town Made a Celebration When a Boy Who Will Only Live for 2 years Turned 3
The boy who will be living for 2 years because of SMARD made his town threw a parade when turns 3. His whole town celebrated his 3rd birthday.
The boy named Nash has a rare neuromuscular disease known as SMARD or spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress. The disease causes muscular weakness and a sudden inability to breathe in infants. It has no cure or treatment.
As a result, doctors sadly said that Nash’s life would not last long. Children with this disorder are expected to last up to two years.
According to the article by CNN, because Nash has a weakened immune system, he cannot be around many people to have what some may think of as a typical birthday party. The community decided to throw him a parade Sunday on the eve of his birthday.
“The one missing piece of his life has been social interaction,” Stineman told CNN. “He can’t be around people that much, and yesterday, I felt like that missing piece was filled.”
For over an hour, more than 100 trucks, jeeps, and cars of all kinds drove down the family’s neighborhood street in a Chicago suburb to celebrate Nash.
Instead of throwing out candy like a typical parade, there was banana pudding for Nash. It’s the only food Nash eats by mouth because he gets intravenous nutrition.
They didn’t expect this at all and Nash was in the hospital for seven months. Now, the picture shows that what seemed to be a miracle happened to the boy who had a happy and lively birthday.
It was also a great thing to help Nash through the nonprofit organization formed by Nash’s mother Brittany Stineman. This organization, called Smash SMARD, has raised about $ 2 million.
Everyone is hoping that Nash will continue to heal and that they will see the smiles of the child again and again as a result of the joy.
