    My son is 46 with Becker’s and it’s been a difficult journey. He’s been in power chair for 18 years now. He needs full care and must be fed now.
    although this disease is difficult he embraces all the little things in life more than most of us!! He is awesome, smart, and great sense of humor. Andy it would be great if you two could hook up!!

      Nice to hear from you. My son has interests in many things. He’s a bit shy and reserved. I think if you wrote to him he would be thrilled. He’s feeling down lately and his Covid immunization has left him with terrible vertigo and he can’t even watch tv now too well.
      If u feel comfortable and you have time message me and I’ll put you in touch with him. Stay safe and I’m thinking of you!! Good luck with your new projects!! His name is Dan.

      Sincerely

      Cindy

    thanks for writing!! My son is now 46. At 27 he had an heart attack. Very scary but his doc saved him!! He was in a facility at the time and had delayed care! By the time I got there he was very ill and I called ambulance right away. Doc in ER was right on it. Now with meds and ICD in his  chest things are going well. He’s had it there for 10 years at least. Only went off slightly twice. He’s monitoring 24 seven by docs office and it gives him some piece of mind.
    Your sound like a great Dad!! My son has lived with me for 14 years and we are blessed to be together.
    Best of luck to you and your family!!
