"Miracle at Last: Infant with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Leaves Hospital for Home"
Marshall Bowling, a 14-month-old boy diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy, received a breakthrough gene therapy at Akron Children’s Hospital, allowing him to go home after a prolonged hospital stay. The $3 million therapy was covered by insurance, but Marshall faced subsequent health challenges, including a collapsed lung and a virus. Shortage of home nursing care posed a challenge, but Marshall's emotional "clap out" marked his departure from the hospital, bringing joy and relief to his family and caregivers.
