Today was a hard day

Each day is beginning to drag. The what if's are killing me. Today Creed has had a lot of falls, tons of eye rubbing and so much frustration. That brings me to the what if stage, if we don't get picked for this study what will happen with Creeds vision. When he realize he is loosing his sight. Tomorrow will be better, he will make it through. It's just been a tough day

We are counting down the WEEKS I can not wait to get the call from either Iowa or Philly. My bags are packed. Were ready to go.

The Forever Fix, dedicated to the children of gene therapy, is a celebration of science, medicine, parent activism, and most important of all, hope.

On a bright September Sunday in 2008, 8-year-old Corey Haas walked up the pathway to the Philadelphia zoo holding his parents' hands, looked up, and screamed. It was the first time he'd seen the sun.

Four days earlier, Corey had undergone gene therapy for hereditary blindness at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. An eye surgeon had gently placed billions of viruses bearing healing genes just beneath the rods and cones of Corey's left eye. Now, at the zoo, seeing the sun hurt.
