Madison’s SMA Story
Madison was born both happy and healthy. For six months, everything was perfect. And then I noticed she wasn’t using her baby walker or bouncing in her bouncy seat anymore. She had stopped bearing weight on my lap when I stood her up—nor was she able to hold a crawling position. I brought Madison to the pediatrician, who told me she was just delayed, maybe even a little lazy.
This didn’t sit well with me, or ease my mind in any way, shape, or form. I hadn’t acquired years of experience as a mother of three for nothing! Not to mention, I had been a single mom for five years! A month later, I went back to that practice and asked to see a different pediatrician. She considered my concerns and guessed Madison’s leg might have been dislocated.
