We just wrapped up our muscle clinic trip and are currently on our way home. It was a good clinic visit and Cade is currently stable which is what we hope for. We did get everyone excited by stating that we are back in school in person and that we have a rockstar of a … Continue reading Our Next Adventure

Today is World Duchenne Awareness Day (WDAD). Every year on the 7th of September this day rolls around and until 3 years ago I didn’t even know anything about it or Duchenne for that matter. The reason for WDAD being held on the 7th day of September is the dystrophin gene which makes these boys … Continue reading World Duchenne Awareness Day

September is Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Month. In just 6 more days we will celebrate World Duchenne Awareness Day. And so this month we ask that you remember us and other families like us as we soldier on in this journey. Many of the families we have met became blind sided with their diagnosis. We did … Continue reading Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Month

September is quickly approaching and I had some big plans originally for Labor Day as it is World Duchenne Awareness Day. I had originally thought we would hold a 5k/walk of some sort and then we would also have t-shirts. But God has bigger plans than we do and so we are going with the … Continue reading Shirt Time!!

This is going to be a short post. I shared this on my personal Facebook page first and now I’m going to get this message out here. I am going to say something about masks.

I’m not sure if they normally do or not, but they were willing to let us come. So we … Continue reading It’s All About the People You Meet Along the Way

This year has come in roaring like a lion and changing everything about life as we know it. I think all of us around here thought that it couldn’t get much worse than 2019 but here we are sitting at our house on Easter, practicing social distancing to do our part! We know that it … Continue reading Easter Blessings

Today I was up long before Cade and Brent. A long time to be alone with my thoughts so I decided to will myself to change my mindset of having extra time to be alone with God. My heart was definitely trying to betray me during this time but every time I lost focus I … Continue reading Matter of the Heart

It's crazy to think that some days you can lead a fairly normal life with Duchenne, but then out of nowhere, you get blindsided with anxiety and grief.  We have been dealing with some weakening with Cade and I thought that I had it all under control.  Truth is though, that while my interactions and … Continue reading BAM!!
