Support the Werner Family

Craig, Michelle and Leah Werner welcomed baby Colin Neal Werner on May 26, 2022. At just a few days old, he was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a progressive muscle-weakening disorder. SMA has no cure; however, a new treatment medication has been trialed in recent years. Treatment has resulted in improvements in muscle and nerve function, allowing those with SMA to utilize their arms and legs, gain strength, and achieve physical milestones. Colin received this one-time gene therapy treatment on June 13th.

 

Colin had a small setback on June 24th and was admitted to the hospital as an x-ray showed air in the lining of his intestine. He was diagnosed with necrotizing enterocolitis and has been receiving antibiotics. They hope to have him back home soon. In addition to this hospital stay, Michelle and Craig have been spending a lot of time back and forth between Ann Arbor to work with Colin's team at Mott Children's Hospital and will continue to do so moving forward as they monitor his milestones and strength.

 

All money raised here will help the Werner family with medical expenses, hospital stays, and gas for back and forth travel. If you feel that you are able to donate, it will be greatly appreciated. More than anything, we ask for prayers for Colin's strength and health, and prayers for the entire Werner family for strength, hope, and faith.
