Our John John Boom... |
|
|
In September 2006 during a routine pediatric doctor's appointment at Walter Reed Army Medical
Center a baseline blood draw indicated something was wrong with our
little man.
After several additional blood tests over the next
few weeks and a physical examination, the Pediatric Neurology Staff at
Walter Reed informed us that it appeared John had some form of muscular
dystrophy.
A definitive DNA test was performed and on December 8,
2006, John was definitively diagnosed with a debilitative fatal disease
called Duchenne
Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) that presently remains incurable.
