I'm the mother of two boys - ages 10 and 8. My 8 year old, Luke, was diagnosed with Duchenne 5 years ago.
About my family:
Luke, his brother Colin, his dad, Mike, and I (Molly) live in Mounds View, MN. We are new to the Parent Project website.
Mike is a plumber and I work at a pediatric clinic that specialized is developement and behavior. Colin is in 5th grade and Luke is in 2nd grade.
Name(s) of child(ren)/individual(s) with Duchenne:
I am curious to know if Luke goes to an mda doctor? if so, where? Do you find the doctor to be proactive or reactive? We are from Minnesota and have been thinking about moving back
Saw the story on Luke from TCL you and the boys looked great!!!!
We were in blurp right after Lukes story aired yesterday. We were standing on the street corner helping the firefighters fill the boot. I dressed as a clown with a purple wig, it worked we brought in $1900 that night.
Hey Molly,
Checking in to see how your are doing with Luke at camp. So far we are doing pretty well here. My SIL called today to check in so that helps. Talk to you soon!
Hi Molly, I live in Shoreview and have a 6 year old son, Alek, who has DMD. I am not terribly regular at viewing this site, but I saw your profile and wanted to connect.

Hi Molly - I'm in northern MN and my son Aaron (7) has DMD. Did Luke go to camp last Spring? If he did, I wonder if the two of them might've bunked together. :)
Yeah Molly! So glad you made it here! I know you will find so much of the support and information you are looking for here. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. Talk to you soon!

Welcome Molly, you will find a wealth of knowledge here, and most of all you will find people who can truly understand what we are living. Both of my boys were diagnosed this year. It has been very difficult to cope. I am glad you found us...Take care!!!
