Diagnosis Flashback - Graduation Style - Sara Clime
My youngest experienced our school district's wonderful tradition for graduating seniors yesterday. The graduating seniors return to their elementary schools and do a "Senior Walk."

Are You Satisfied? - Sara Clime
When your child is in clinical trials, you become an expert at filling out surveys. One survey that I dreaded every month for almost 2 years was a Duchenne parent survey.

It’s a part of this world. So, please don’t make […]
Around the Corner - Sara Clime
When I was a little girl, my dad’s favorite evening pastime was to scare my sister and me. My sister loved it but oh how I hated it. My sister and I developed a sixth sense about it though. We could almost feel when he was hiding. My sister would slowly creep to the next […]
