Talk and love: People with muscular dystrophy have the same social needs that we all have, so continuing to interact and spend time with them is a huge plus. They're also in a position to teach us all some important lessons about life. Encourage them to do so. In addition, people with muscular dystrophy have a need to be as functionally independent as possible and to set and work toward goals. Best wishes!

Care for them: Love them, care for them, and get them into a good neuromuscular clinic. Generally free standing children's hospitals have such multidisciplinary clinics which can be a great "one stop shop" for medical care for your loved one.
