Jesy Nelson’s partner, Zion Foster, has penned an emotional tribute to their newborn twins after they were diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), expressing admiration for their resilience in the face of adversity.
Following a challenging pregnancy, Zion and Jesy joyfully welcomed twin daughters, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, in May. However, their happiness turned to sorrow when it was revealed in January that the babies had been diagnosed with the severe Type 1 SMA, a rare muscle-wasting condition affecting a limited number of children in the UK annually, potentially impacting their ability to walk.
Zion, a 27-year-old musician like Jesy, shared a heartfelt poem dedicated to their eight-month-old daughters. He reflected on the uncertainties surrounding their future abilities but emphasized his unconditional love and acceptance for them as they are. He praised the twins for their strength and fighting spirit, acknowledging their resilience and determination.
In a recent interview, Jesy, 34, tearfully discussed the challenges of adjusting to their new reality. She expressed her desire to be a mother rather than a caregiver, highlighting the emotional toll of witnessing her daughters’ struggles. Despite the difficult prognosis that the twins may never walk again, Jesy remains hopeful and focused on providing a supportive environment for her girls.
The twins’ diagnosis of SMA, a degenerative condition affecting motor nerve cells in the spinal cord, poses significant challenges, including loss of mobility and other critical functions. Jesy and Zion are dedicated to ensuring the best possible care for their daughters, who require regular treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
As they navigate this unexpected journey, Jesy and Zion are determined to stay positive and provide unwavering support for their daughters, cherishing every moment and focusing on their daughters’ well-being and happiness above all else. Their resilience and commitment to facing this difficult situation together serve as a testament to their strength as a family.
