About me:

Our son was diagnosed with MD spring of 2013. After months of testing and a muscle biopsy they determined our son has Becker MD. They concluded he does make dystrophin but it is abnormal. They do not know where the issue is in his gene so we are hopeful with further research to find an answer some day. As for now we are living life to the fullest every day!

About my family:

My husband and I were married in 2000. We have two children - Jacob born in 08 who has BMB and Rebekah born in 2010. We went through a rough time adjusting to the news of MD. Now we realize it doesn't define him. We do as much as we can when we can. We adapt where needed but live life everyday making it the best day we can!
