It's horrible.
They like, they're always like, well, they are with babies that have SMA.
They're like rag dolls.
They can't, they're, they're so like, even now when I hold them, people still think they're like newborn babies because I'm, you know, the way that I have to hold them because I can't hold themselves up.
They're like newborn babies.

I want to do that straight away.
I said, okay, how long is that going to take?
