Hi Amelia - how are you guys doing?
Hopefully they dont come back telling you it is dmd cause it is a rough road. But i wish u all the luck and strength in the world.
my son has dmd so i know a good bit of what you are going thru. He was diagnosed in 09 when he was 4 years old. I wont lie it is a long road ahead of you. If you would like to know more feel free to email me on here or u can email me at sdcl2006@yahoo.com.
Hi Amelia. Yes Liam was symptomatically diagnosed a month ago. We had our first appointment with our local muscle clinic in Cape Town, South Africa last week where we met the team that would be caring for Liam. We are now just waiting for his DNA test results and see a genetic counsellor early December to get the lowdown. The testing that is available locally is only able to detect large deletions so if the results come back inconclusive he will need to go in for a biopsy. His next appointment is in early Feb. He has been put on Vitamin D and the prophylactic enalapril for his heart. Steroids will start in 6 months to a year. It has been so incredibly hard. Liam is our only child and we have been trying for a 2nd for the last 2 years. In a way I am very grateful as if I had brought another son into the world with this disease I don't know how I would have coped. The fact that there are parents on this site with 2 and sometimes 3 children with DMD is just heart rending.
When did you find out about Hayden?
