Saab Magalona is endlessly proud of her son Pancho in her latest Instagram Reel.
The podcast host and Cheats vocalist shared a video of Pancho walking with a walker with a huge smile on his face.
She wrote in the video, “I can’t believe we’re here.”
“Seven years after we were told he wouldn’t last the night. After we were told he would most likely never be able to move,” she added.
Not only that, they were also advised that Pancho might be blind.
“The brain scans we did gave us very little hope, but we always had love,” Saab said.
“And that love continues to grow with each day we spend with him,” she added. “The goal was never to have a perfect child. The goal has always been to raise a child who feels deeply loved.”
Saab is open about the details of Pancho's birth story, his cerebral palsy, and how he bravely continues to fight through his health challenges.
She previously shared that Pancho can now also pull himself up to stand up on his own, and has made significant walking and speech progress.
In 2023, Pancho started going to regular school.
Saab and her husband Jim Bacarro have a second son named Vito.
