Overview: Hi. I am a 28 year old female with a son who when born we found out he had a form of MD. We also found out that I also have it to. I must say I feel blessed to be where I am at today. I really do not have much to say about my son and I except that I am very open minded and love talking to peple form all areas of the world. I would also like to meet a few here in Michigan nearby. It is hard when all your friends get excited about their children's milestones and you have yet to reach them. I do have to very understanding friends who are very supportive but a parent going through the same right now would be nice.
