Happy to be on BlueSky - hoping to reconnect here with the #RareDisease & NBA communities.
I am mom to an angel 😇 (May 2024) with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, secondary to PURA syndrome - Megan was doubly rare!
I am also a long-time sufferer of Philly 7️⃣6️⃣ers basketball.

A lot to clean up from that loss at the hands of the Celtics, but sort of encouraging it ultimately only ended in a one-point loss after all that
Good fight from the young guys, get VJ the ball more, and please rebound the damn ball!
