My Cousin's Struggle with Muscular Dystrophy

The way in which my cousin Danny copes and deals with his disease of Muscular Dystrophy is mind boggling to most people. This especially applies to people who are just meeting my valiant cousin for the first time. The situations in which he is put in and the manner in which he deals with most problems are efforts to be respected and looked up to as courageous. <Tab/>Sometimes Danny's troubles …

…have made to this world. Whether they would have been scientific, medical, cultural, or even just to his own family, no one will ever know or be able to enjoy such things. His days now consist of receiving his various treatments and being propped up to watch a football game all day or play video games. The latter are becoming harder and more difficult to do with his deteriorating muscle mass and slowing motor coordination.
