    My heart broke in half when Camden’s dad said he is the only certified care giver so if something happened it’s all on him. For a parent to have to take this burden bc having professional help is not financial attainable is just cruel and there are sooo many families who are in the same situation for many different illnesses and conditions.

    So hard to watch a young child be stricken with something so scary. This made me go hug my 5 and 13 year old grandson. I just can't imagine how I'd cope with something like this. These parents are so strong. I truly hope they find a cure for AFM. Never even heard of this till now

    What makes this different from polio? I went to school in the fifties with a kid who had had polio, and his left arm was withered, just as the limbs on some of these kids are. It's a paralysis, which is lifelong, so again, how does it differ from polio?.

      I think it has to do with the muscle tone levels. Either they have very high muscle tone also known as hypertonia/spasticity or they have the opposite which is hypotonia/flaccidity. Hope this information helps.
      I understand this because I have spastic hemiplegia cerebral palsy which caused me to have hypertonia on my left arm, hand, and left leg.
