Miracle child with SMA Turns 5 today

Our miracle child and little wild child Elizabeth Lee Hallam turned 5 years old today. The specialist who diagnosed her did not give her life expectancy to 1 1/2 years old and at the most 2 years old. So much for him knowing anything. If we would of sat back and listened to him Lizzy would not be here today.
We got Lizzy out to Stanford a month after she was diagnosed and that was the best choice we ever did make. Thank you DR.Wang. Thank you DR. Willam Hough for believing in us and helping us get what we need for Lizzy. You are always there for Lizzy.
My "little princess diva" turned 5 today and is the most wonderful little girl! She is a fighter, she is ornery, she is determined and she is my heart and soul.
We have been through so much the past 5 years and now looking at the future is easy. We used to be glad we got through a day. She is so strong and so smart besides beautiful.
I was telling Christen (Lizzy's Mom) today looking at what things were 5 years ago and said " I turned in my leathers for helping Lizzy ". I gave up my life the way it was to help her and I believe I am a better person for it. I always did have a heart but I have meet so many people that are so great. I have Real friends now. Things in every day life that used to totally tick me off mean NOTHING anymore. There is so much meaning now in the phase
"Dont sweat the small stuff". My life has meaning and purpose.
Thank you all that helped me with Lizzy. Thank you DR.Schroth , Dr . Wang, DR, Hough, Lisa Watson and all the parents that have helped us through this whole journey!!!!!
Having your support and guidance helped us so much helping Lizzy!!
