I have mixed emotions about my sons upcoming surgery. I take everyday one day at a time put I feel when it comes closer to the time I have been having panic attacks. I enjoy every minuet that I have with my boys. Everyone says he will be ok and not to worry. but reality what if they are wrong. I wish people would not tell me that he will be fine. It doesnt take any fear away. I want to say what if he isn't can I come to you and say you were wrong. I think about my son every moment now. I go… Continue

2 years ago I was going through some ruff times. I was trying to do it all. I have 5 children all together 3 with DMD. There was a school nurse that asked me a question that I will never forget. For one did I know what birth control was and why did I decide to have children. She thought it was irresponsible to continue having children after I found that my first son had DMD. She wanted to know why I didnt abort the other children when I knew before I had them that they Could possible have DMD.… Continue

i have 3 boys with DMD, I just recently went to my 6 year old sons IEP. It is hard to sit through it. Not only is my son affected with DMD he has major learning disibilities. I felt like a target in the room they sat and told me all the things that he couldnt do it was devestating.They are pulling him out of regular kindergarden and putting him in a self contained classroom. I met with the school phychiatrist, teacher, ot/pt and principle. I felt so alone in there about five minuets into the… Continue

It is hard enough for my husband and I to come to terms with having our only son diagnosed with DMD, but to have 3 would be totally incomprehensible. My heart goes out to you and your 3 boys. I know nothing I say can make you feel better, to feel what I am feeling threefold must be unbelievable. You are doing the best you can, though I know there are days when you probably feel like giving in. But don't give up, your boys are there for you and you are there for them. You need to make your family unit strong, and hopefully they will understand and appreciate all you are doing for them. Be strong, and on those days where you find it all too hard, come on here and we will all be there as a shoulder to cry on or an ear to scream in. We are all here for you!

Sharyn.

I myself could not imagine having 3 boys with DMD. I only have one child and it is hard enough. Enjoy each and every day with your children as each day is a gift from God. We have the knowledge ahead of time, where as most do not and lost their children without having the ability to know and appreciate what they had. Kari Isaiah 40:31
