Feature Story by Lori Butierries: 'Reinforcements'

Once upon a time, a little boy named Jacob fought a war. It was a war without end. On the day it began, the doctor told Jacob's parents, "I do not want to give you false hope," when he revealed Jacob's terminal & degenerative condition to them. The prognosis was grim. To paraphrase, "There would be no winning this battle," he told them. Jacob was condemned. Spinal Muscular Atrophy or SMA was a death sentence for children.
