You Inspire Me

<p><strong><em>There's something seriously wrong with this child.</em></strong></p><p><br></p><p>The doctor's words were beyond disturbing. Kian had been a perfectly healthy adorable baby boy. But at only nine weeks he was unable to raise his arms. A battery of tests would deliver a nightmarish diagnosis: Kian had spinal muscular atrophy. There was no cure. The doctor explained that Kian's muscles would get progressively weaker. Eventually he would be unable to breathe on his own or even swallow. I'm sorry. He probably won't make it beyond his second birthday the doctor said.</p><p><br></p><p>Neda Azadivatan reeled. She spent weeks and then months in a daze. When she finally pulled herself together she committed to giving her little boy the best quality life she could for as long as she could. But through their shared journey Neda began to realize that it was Kian who was the real giver. Through him she learned more about life love and herself than she ever imagined was possible. <em>You Inspire Me</em> is a moving reminder that sometimes the worst of circumstances can shine a light on the very best parts of life.</p>
