π September 15 is Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Day π
MMD is a rare, inherited disease that causes progressive muscle loss & affects many systems in the body. Today, we wear green to honor the strength of those living with Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy & their loved ones.
Testimony from Sophiaβs Mother π
βSophia was diagnosed with Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy at just 3 weeks old. After spending 10 days at Cabrini, she was transferred to Our Lady of the Lake, where she received a G-tube at just one month old. Two weeks later, she was able to come home, but only for a short time. She was readmitted a week later due to malnourishment.
Despite everything, Sophia is now doing better. She sees multiple specialists each month & continues to amaze us all. Sheβs defying the odds every day & showing us that God truly is a miracle worker.β
