Selma Blair Shares More Of MS Journey In New Instagram Post Holding Photo Of Her Son
Selma Blair is continuing with her open and honest portrayal of life as a mom with multiple sclerosis. The actress, 46, who revealed her diagnosis at the end of last year , posted several new photos of her son to Instagram this week, and shared more about her disease.
In the photos, she's holding a printed photograph of her son, Arthur. The images are cropped close so there's only a bit of Selma in the frame. Her son's smiling face in the printed photo is the main focal point.
Selma started out in the caption: "I am here. I am not with my son. I am in the place of getting better. needing to believe in this knowing we will never know. Strange. I count on the spirits of this world more than I ever thought. Thank you."
