Dealing with a new stage
My son Seth just stopped walking right before Thanksgiving. He is only 8 yrs. old.
His upper body muscles are also weakening. We were told that this stage usually happens between ages 10-12. I feel anxious all the time, wondering if this disease is ever going to plateau, so we can learn how to take care of him. My husband and I have alot of questions as to how to do the basic things for Seth. I'm still cry talking about it. (cryinjg now).

Hi Monique, I have the next several weeks off from work. I e-mailed Dawn Dillion from Westford also. Would you like to get together?
