Tricks and treats call at home of brothers with rare genetic disease

ToniAnn Accardi and her sons Tyler and Nicholas trick-or-treat at their home in Centereach due to Tyler's recent surgery to help treat his spinal muscular atrophy. Tyler and his older brother, who also has spinal muscular atrophy, can't go out trick or treating because catching so much as a common cold could kill the boys. And their family was too overwhelmed to plan any Halloween activities. Credit: Newsday / Morgan Campbell
