From the book:
When I said, "A little motionless," the doctor first looked at her face, then at her reflexes, then at my face. Anxiously, sadly...
"Is he always this cheerful, does he look alive?"
"Yes."
“Does it push your tongue out?”
"Yes sometimes."
“Do her legs look like a breaststroke?”
"Yes."
“Does his stomach go down like this while he breathes?”
"Yes."
Every "yes" I said stuck inside me.
“There is a disease that I suspect, but genetic testing is required for a definitive diagnosis. But I can tell you, you have a very serious problem.”
"Well, what's the name of that disease?"
“SMA. I hope he isn't."
SMA... I wanted to delete those three letters from the alphabet, to remove them from all words. What kind of pain is this that I'm feeling? This pain is indescribable...
