About me:: My name is Jo-Anne Pretorius. I am a married to Fred and a mother of 2 boys. I work part time and love working with people. We moved to Australia in 2003 and love living here.

About my family:: I have 2 sons, my eldest son is Wayne who is 17 and my youngest son Kevin who is 14. Kevin was diagnosed with DMD just at the end of 2006 and the final diagnoses came in during March 2007, just over a year ago. He is still walking and has always walked on his toes. There is so much to learn and we as a family are taking one day at a time.

At 8:46pm on January 27, 2010, Tina & Darren Harris said…: Hi Jo-anne.
Just looking at your photos today and they are good. Before we found out about Tyran having DMD we had a Photo biz called Super Flash.... and we did a hep of weddings but that was some time ago like 7 years ago.
I am going to join the croup Digital for Duchenne. With out photos of our boys we are truly lost... I hope you liked the photos of Tyran and Darren at Airs Rock l up dated not long ago.
Tyran is just at the end of his time walking. He just cannot do it any more. There is not many PPMD Family's that live close to us hear on the Central Coast. There are 4 family's ( including your family ) up your way but thats as far as they go. I am so happy to now find a way to chat to outer mums just like me.
Thank you also for joining our Starlight Wish group.

My mom is really bad, and believe my thanks for the prayers but they dont work.. She has got so much worse.. I will tell her in the morning, that u sent her a message, sure she will appreciate it.. She does not even mention you guys anymore.. She just wonders how Kevin is doing and I said to her if Kevin got worse u would let us know.. Hope he doing well.
regards Dot

Sorry that it took so long to respond, but life seems rather chaotic and somehow email is the last thing that I get around to. It was wonderful to hear that your son is still walking at 12 - let's hope that Daniel will be too! I was interested to see that you had joined a Christian DMD group. Is it just a chat group? The pics of Seaworld are such fun.

This weekend I hope to read thru your pages too. It is good to make connections. I am glad we connected.

Take care, Julie

I did find you. This might be the best way to communicate. Facebook is a little hard to manuever for me. I am trying to learn though. I love your pictures!
