You have a brother who also has this disease. His legs can't function and one of his arms is very weak. He's in a wheelchair and needs to wear a huge legbrace and crutches when he walks. Going to the bathroom, going to school and going up and down stairs is very difficult for him. But it amazes me everyday how little self pity he has and how people can get on with their lives after such an injury.
