St Jude's on Twitter

Here is the Tweet:
StJude: “There’s nothing we can do,” his physicians said. Then Cooper came to St. Jude. http://tinyurl.com/crrbcr

Here is the beginning of the story from the St. Jude's web site:

“There’s nothing we can do,” his physicians said, when they discovered that Cooper Winters had an extremely rare disease carried on the X chromosome. Then Cooper came to St. Jude.

If he lives to be 100, Jeremy Winters will never forget the quiet joy of holding his newborn son in the predawn hours of August 2, 2006. Grinning with pride, Jeremy kissed Cooper’s soft head and felt the baby’s perfect fist close around his finger.

If she lives to be 100, Shanna Winters will recall with heartbreaking clarity the day she planned Cooper’s funeral. Picking out a coffin for her 4-month-old. Feeling hot tears course down her face. “There’s nothing we can do for him,” doctors had said, as, tethered to a respirator, Cooper labored for every breath.

But Shanna and Jeremy Winters prefer to remember the day they took their son to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. There, clinicians and researchers would perform a truly memorable feat—saving Cooper’s life.

Incredible!!!!!
