Colin McKenzie's Friends

About me:: I am married to Suzanne, the mother of our very beautiful special children. We live in South Africa near the City of Johannesburg.

About my family:: We have two boys, Justin now 13 years old and Joshua 9 years old, both have DMD, we have a little daughter, Jessie now 8 years old, we do not know if she is a carrier yet, something the genetic council seem to think better to leave until she is older, we disagree but have no say in this as they will not test her. John Luke born, 19 December 2008. He is not affected by DMD.

I had not a clue as to how hard this journey was going to be this boy is my heart and reason to get up everyday such a love bug.everyday gets harder as the old body is stopping him but he never gives up as Im sure you know about these boys your little girl is quite a beautyand the little guy cute as well.

At 6:24am on May 20, 2009, Lesley Henderson said…: Hi Colin - Hoping that you might be able to assist with recommending a good Paediatrian that would be able to "manage" my grandson's condition? His cardiologist, Dr Kenny Govendragaloo has said this is now necessary as he has lost 1/3 of his heart muscle function and we're due to go to the Pulmonologist (Dr Ponday) next week Tues. as he thinks that the lung function is also not what it should be. Is there any Paed. in the South (Glenvista) that you know of who has a good knowledge of managing DMD? Do you have contact details for the Muscular Dystrophy Assoc in SA? I thought of maybe finding out from them as well? Trust all is well with your family? Regards, Lesley Henderson

Congratulations for your incredible family, you are superblessed too (4 angels).
Thank you so much for your comment, I know time counts and I am still trying to find out how to keep my son in the best shape until the treatment comes.
I would like to know more form your experience on DMD.

Best wishes for 2009!!!!
