Hi! My name is Susan, and my little boy was recently diagnosed with DMD as well. We live in Knoxville but have strong family ties in the Jackson/Lexington area. (In fact my first cousin teaches at Trinity...I saw that is where your nephew goes to school.) Does Brandon go to Vanderbilt as well? I would love to talk to you about him and your family if you have a chance. Thanks!
I just wanted to say how wonderful of you to be there to support your nephew, sister and the family.
I wish you and the family all the best.
I think you will find this web site very helpful.
Take care,
Julie

Thank you for joining the Aunts full of Love group. My sister is right, I am heartbroken for her and my nephews. I also want to do whatever I can to support her and her family and help find a cure for DMD. I am glad that you have joined. I think that you may be able to help me in the future in supporting my sister as you do yours! Thanks again Debby... we will be in touch I am sure of it!!

Hi Debbie, welcome to PPMD. My name is Marian and I have a very loving sister who is heart broken. You see, her two beautiful nephews were diagnosed with DMD this year. My sons.
She has made a group, it is called Aunts full of love. I am sure she would love to hear from you. Take care, and God bless you and your boys, and your sister's boys.
