Unable to walk overnite?

Has anyone had issues with their boys' all of a sudden not able to walk or stand at all overnite? Then the next morning get up and walk around the next morning like that day never happened?This last Friday and Saturday, Austin, now age 11, literally could not stand on his own. The day before, he was walking (not great, but as usual for lately), then all of a sudden he cant make it from the sink to the toilet, and cant stand up long enough for me to get his pants down to use the restroom!!

Hi Ana, sorry it took me awhile to get back with you. Yes my son used to do the same thing, about 3-6 months before he went into a wheelchair full time. It would scare the crap out of me and I would worry about him, then the next day he was fine. As time went on he would have more and more times when it seamed his legs just kinda "gave out" on him. That's when we decided to have him use his wheechair more so he wouldn't fall and hurt himself. Good luck with this, I know it's hard.
Take care.

We saw a therapist today, he is deciding what meds will be best for Tyler. Yeah my son talks non stop and is very OCD I think. I aften wonder if that is part of the DMD, or just something else he's been blessed to have LOL. It's nice know their are other children out there like mine and other parents going through the same adventure every day! :)
