    Here is our 9-MONTH REPORT!
    As of January 22, 2023, Damian has been on the experimental treatment intended to stop his brain deterioration for 9 months! Unfortunately, Damian has been sick for much of the past 6 months - that, and his growing liver and spleen, have caused a lot of issues that I believe has stunted his progress, and in some areas even made him weaker. Overall, however, we're making progress and in the last month we took a huge leap forward by starting Enzyme Replacement Therapy, the 2nd treatment he needs (FINALLY!!!)
    The blog post linked above correlates with this video, as there are some notes I've made that didn't really work in video format. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE, for cheering us on, and for continuing to help us raise the funds needed quickly for the FINAL TREATMENT!!! 💙
    ________________________________________________
    💙ABOUT DAMIAN💙
    Damian is fighting a terminal genetic disease called ASMD/Niemann-Pick Disease Type A (sometimes referred to as "Baby Alzheimer's") and we're determined to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to expedite the development of treatment and save his life. Please help us #SaveDamian by sharing his story!!! We are SO CLOSE to finally defeating ASMD, for Damian and every child given this death sentence. Thank you 💙

    I pray a hedge around you both. I speak life over this child. I speak healing over him. All things are possible with God. To the mom, this is your mountain and we have just enough faith the size of a mistard seed we can move it. To any other brothers and sisters in Christ, whom see this, i ask that you please stand in for this child and pray healing and life over him.

    You are the BEST Mama and caregiver. I understand from being a mother myself, the intense unconditional love you have for him, and I know I would be advocating the same way you are. Damien is such a beautiful boy, and so extremely blessed to have you for his mama. May God give you strength on this journey, and healing for your baby❤

    Heartbreaking and joyful at the same time. He has been blessed with the most amazing parents.
    With how thin he has gotten, has the Dr mentioned a g-tube? It was so hard to surrender to that with our son, but honestly it was the best thing we could have done. My prayers are with your precious family

    What a sweet boy!!! Your video happened to pop up today while I was watching my regular videos and so I subbed to hopefully help you out. I've now watched a few of your other videos to learn about Damien and his diagnosis. You are an amazing mom to this gorgeous little boy and I love the connection between you two. Now I'm eager to come along on his (and your) journey. I'm a mother to four boys (all grown now) and a Nana to a granddaughter and a grandson.

    What about a collar, almost like a cervical collar but soft and padded to the touch, with a firm core for the support of his head ? It would need to be fitted/tailored especially for Damian. When he’s doing his puzzles and
    the motor skills, 4:32 , if you used it then, you would have two hands to help him with it. 💜
