Hi Cathy, I recently joined and was reading your information. You appear to be such a strong mother and woman. You make us proud as mothers with children with MD. My children are 20 and 14. Both diagnosed with Beckers. It affects my oldest more but he is still very mobile, so I know I am blessed. Please be sure you get your 20 year old daughter tested. I was tested and knew this was a possibility, but I had to take the chance and have my beautiful boys. Best of luck to you. I am sure I will be chatting with you more. :) Kathie
