Karson

A few years ago my cousin Karson was born. His parents noticed that he wasn't developing like their older daughter did. They took him to the doctor to find out that he had Spinal Muscular Atrophy also known as SMA. That basically means Karson has no muscles. He couldn't lift up his head, he couldn't even breath on his own. The doctors told his parents he will be lucky if he lived to be one. Along with SMA other complications come along. Before Karson was one he had multiple surgerys. His parents had to buy a bigger car so they could fit all his medical stuff in it. He was in and out of the hospital. Karson coudn't come to any family functions because of all the germs and people around. Well Karson was a fighter. Not only did he live to be one but he lived to be two. The Make A Wish Foundation contacted his parents they wanted to take him to Disneyland because Karson loves Woody from Toys Story. But Karson couldn't go to Disneyland because of all the germs and such. So instead they got Karson a queen size bed. This way he could fit all the machines and junk plus his parents and older sister could lay with him and cuddle. Today Karson passed away. We are sad because he will be missed but we are happy because he is with his father in heaven and he is no longer in pain he doens't have to deal with any more surgerys or being hooked up on machines. I am so happy that families can be together forever because I love my family.
