There are two recent news articles that seem to me to be very promising in the area of research for different forms of Muscular Dystrophy. I am excited about these because it means there could be a cure for my son in the near future.
I have to say that the Lord has been so good to me. When we first got the news of a possible diagnosis for Duchenne, I was absolutely crushed! I mean, who wouldn't be?! It is a horrible disease that robs these precious boys from having a 'normal' life, a life that includes growing up, walking properly, running, climbing trees, doing stuff that boys do! It robs them of a chance to grow up, get married, have children of their own. When the news came, I could literally see our life flash before me and wondered if he will be at all his siblings weddings, be an uncle to his future nieces and nephews, be a married man, a father, a preacher like his daddy, a missionary...
The Lord picked me up and let me know that nothing happened by an accident. He let me know that He will be with me every step of the way.
