Right now Mj, is happy and still walking. The weakness is progressing however. He's started falling down harder and much more frequently. It's starting to take him longer to get up and move around in general. I feel like it's almost too late and I have no other option other than steroids. He's also started complaining about his shoulder muscles hurting. I am terrified about the future. But I know I have to concentrate on the present.

I find relief in knowing my son is not the only one with such a late diagnosis. If you don't mind I'd like to know more about your son 's current condition.
