Welcoming a child into the world is a monumental moment in a parent’s life. But for Nikki Holekamp and her husband, amidst the joy and celebration of her son’s birth, it was also a time of heartache, confusion, and fear.
Their son Asher was born with Distal Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a rare genetic condition. One in a million people will have this diagnosis. At less than two years, and limited mobility in his lower body some specialists suggest Asher may never walk. Months of searching for a proper diagnosis and the right medical services left Nikki stressed, frustrated, exhausted. Knowing the importance of early intervention, they were in a race against time.
What helped hold Nikki steady during such a turbulent time?
Join us for this episode as Nikki shares her reasons for finding joy in the everyday moments and cultivating hope, even in the uncertainty. Discover the power of persistence, the value of community, and the strength of self-care.
Nikki’s story is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, each of us has the courage and tenacity within us to find the light at the end of the tunnel.
