Jonah died today
I have two sons with DMD , but my oldest passed away this morning about 8:00. He was a fantastic kid. I loved him so much and will miss him with all of my heart . Not even sure how I'm going do this but here we go. He was only 13 years old with DMD. My other son with DMD is 9 and is also a great kid. At least he's not asking too many questions ------Hug your kid today and tell them you love them. You don't know how long you have!!! I thought we'd have at least another 10 years but I was wrong big time. I miss him so much.

Bob, I'm so, so sorry for your great loss. Prayers for you and your family. I highly recommend a program called Grief Share -- available in churches throughout the country. It really helped me after the completely unexpected death of my little boy. Hugs to you all.

Oh Bob, I am so sorry you had to write this. My son Simon (DMD) will be 13 next week, and my other son William (no DMD) is the same age as your Carter. My thoughts are with you and yours. Andrea

Hello Bob,
I have no words to convey my sadness at reading this. Losing a child is a pain I hope to never have. My DMD son Kyle is 19, happy, full of life and in his first year of college. Was Jonah not on any steroid?

He was on prednisone... calcium...Pepcid ac...and a couple for his heart... We're still not sure why he died so suddenly. I have another son with DMD , otherwise I would crawl into a corner for the rest of my life. The pain is insurmountable!

Get your other boy on Deflazacort as fast as you can. My heart goes out to you Bob. Be strong, keep the sadness to your alone time and when with your other son, let the happiness out, all of it, as much as you have.You have the power within you to be happy. Choose to be so. Hugs to you my friend.
