JESY NELSON'S TWINS WEAR SPINAL SUPPORT DURING HEATWAVE AFTER SMA DIAGNOSIS

Jesy Nelson has stated that she cried throughout the day because her twins must wear spinal jackets and splints during the current heatwave. The children were diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) earlier this year. Nelson indicated that the medical equipment is necessary to prevent deterioration of their condition. She described the situation as emotionally difficult for her as a parent.

Spinal muscular atrophy is a genetic disorder affecting muscle strength and movement. The condition requires ongoing medical management and supportive care. Spinal jackets and splints are prescribed to provide structural support and help maintain posture and mobility. The use of such equipment during hot weather presents additional physical challenges for those wearing it.

Nelson's account highlights the practical difficulties families face when managing chronic conditions in adverse weather conditions. The requirement for continuous spinal support, even during periods of high temperature, reflects the nature of SMA management. She has not disclosed further details regarding her children's treatment plan or prognosis.
