When Nixon was diagnosed with spina bifida, we began searching high and low for anything that would shed light on his condition and provide hope for a better future. That hope presented itself when we stumbled across a local news article discussing the CuRe trial.
This led us to begin researching everything we could on this trial. Soon enough we met with professional and medical staff at UC Davis and discovered that we absolutely wanted in on the CuRe trial. As time went on, we realized just how special this trial was and what made it so special were the doctors, medical staff, and professional staff at UC Davis. We saw the vision for what life could potentially be for those with spina bifida and recognized the life’s work that has culminated into this trial.
Fast forward nearly two years later and Nixon is making remarkable strides. He is developing cognitively, emotionally and physically. Nixon has been making great progress as he crawls all around the house and has begun taking steps with the assistance of his little push cart (it might be the cutest thing you’ve ever seen)! We couldn’t be more full of gratitude for our little miracle boy and everyone at UC Davis who has made his miracle possible.
