    WOW!!!! To see this video!!! I read Evan's story in the year of 2008, and since then, have been raising awareness in regards to Tay-Sachs disease. The article is called, "They Said The Baby Was Fine! He Wasn't!!!" That is the name of the article!!!! It discusses Evan's Story, and his family's battle, after the Dr. MISREAD the test! I still get emotional reading that story, and I've read itmany times! The sad part was when the home nurse told them that they needed to tell Evan that it was OK for him to go!" by then, the pulse oximeter which was connected to Evan's toe was reading extremely low oxygen saturations, and it was only minutes later, that sweet Baby Evan slipped away!
