I am so sorry to see what you are going through. Alma, you are definitely not alone. I too have been left in the dark with inadequate help and support from local doctors and inexperienced MDA staff. I live in Palm Springs, Ca,. about 2 hours from you. My son is only 8, but I would love to talk with you or your husband and see if I can help you. I have had to educate myself in order to figure out how to handle my situation. There are other who may help at my page on facebook...LIVING WITH DUCHENNES MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY. It is shameful to face this alone..Please Visit..Mark Perrotte
