Life Is an Adventure: The Story of Kerry
My name is Kerry. I was born in a set of fraternal twins. Around the age of one, my parents had realized that I wasn’t developing like my sister was. I was taken to the doctor where I was diagnosed with low muscle tone. We tried months of physical therapy but unfortunately, there was no improvement. I was sent for a muscle biopsy in my neck where they discovered that I had SMA (spinal muscular atrophy). I was given the life expectancy of 5 years old and my parents were told to take me home and enjoy the time we had.
