@@BafusFamilyI’m genuinely happy for you. I hope you can get as much help as you need for your children. The problem with Disney Parks is there’s a complete lack of consistency in their decision making with how the new requirements have been advertised. I meet the newly implemented requirements exactly as stated (as one of the “Guests who, due to a developmental disability like autism or similar disorder, are unable to wait in a conventional queue for an extended period of time”), yet was denied accommodation, and I’m finding out from other autistics, as well as the parents of autistic children that they’re also being denied.

Oh wow…I’m sorry to hear that. And I agree it’s very frustrating with programs like this have so many inconsistencies like this one when the qualifications are stated clearly. I really had to push for it and didn’t take no for an answer so it definitely was not easy. I agree it can get extremely frustrating and this is just one out of many!

I just wanted to tell our experience. We have an 8 year old daughter with high functioning autism. Applying for DAS for 1st time. We got on @ 6:58 did the terms of service agreement and entered chat at 7 AM exactly. Answered the questions from cast member. She asked name of person for which requesting das and names of all others in the party, arrival and departure date of upcoming visit, if the person in need of das was present and if we were on a device with video and audio capabilities as we would have to move conversation into a video chat. Then the video chat stated and she first explained the recent changes to the DAS system and that past eligiblity does not guarantee current eligibility. Then she asked out concerns. We told her of our daughters diagnosis and offered to show or email documentation, to which she said was not necessary. Then she asked what issues would extended waiting in line cause..to which we explained our concerns. She then asked if she could speak to our daughter and asked her a how she felt about waiting in a lines (which she was unable to answer as she does not do well understanding hypothetical questions). After which she said that she was approved and took her picture then took about 5-10 minutes explaining how the DAS system works and. How to use it on the app. We were completely done by 7:20 am and so relieved as I spent weeks worrying about this. Overall it was painless and seems as though they are trained to look for inconsistency and people trying to get das who don't really need it.

Good. The less prednisone the better (to some extend). Have you alreayd considered Vamorolone? I am unsure if it is available alreay in the USA? How about Givinostat? I think it is not available yet, but Vamorolone has less side effects (better for bones I think and much better for his growth, become normal again!) and givinostat is I think an HDAC inhibitor, which means it treats Duchenne very differently than Elevidys and in all likelihood should be able to combine with it without side-effects (but that is my guess). Good to see the other boy can get some relief with exonskipping! All the best and keep up the good work. And indeed: eat healthy, it is so so so important also for the parents. At least that is what I think.

We have looked into these options briefly! Our neurologist and medical team doesn’t want to change up the steroids quite yet this soon post the gene therapy.

@@BafusFamily I can understand that. There is one example of two kids getting Galgt2 therapy (briefly a therapy that has nothing to do with dystrophin, but it changes a thing elsewhere and this thing uses utrophin to stabilse the muscle membrane). One kept on using steroids and did pretty well, just not as good as kids on elevidys. The other kids parents stopped steroids and he became non-ambulant soon after. I think this boy was already not doing too well and it is just one boy, so we can't connect it to taking away the steroids. But it does go against the advice of doctors. Good luck with the skipping! I hope it all works out fine. I do wonder with the older one who has had Elevidys: do you see clear improvement? A changed course of the disease? Take care!

@@BafusFamily That is excellent news. I hope this will continue! And I see it this way: so Elevidys can wear off over the years. New muscle is created and no elevidys is present so it is not sure but expected. Meanwhile they are developping better medications. SOme trials are dealing in making full length dystrophine. Just one option. That is the holy grail. But other therapies that will ammeliorate the condition are coming soon it seems.

Things that come to mind as a Northern European (Dutch and we are known to be very direct, AKA blunt): get rid of the fastfood. Get a healthy lifestyle: Take a brisk walk for 30-45 minutes every day. Eat veggies, loads of them. Get rid of cookies, potato chips, candybars, candies in general etcetc. You will feel much better, refreshed. It is also a lot better for your kids btw. Keep pizza etc for once per 2 weeks or per month. After 6 months to a year, if you keep it up, you won't miss them at all anymore. You will like your much better health in all likelihood. The American thing with unsurrance companies and how THEY, rather then your doctor, control what is needed for a (seriously) ill kid is mindboggling to a European. They can't do this over here. It is simple. You pay around 40-50 dollar per person per month and there are never any extra costs at all. If a medication costs 3 million and a kid needs it, than the kid gets it. Period. But of course not helpful for you....Just a notion. Many things in the USA are simply beyond most of us over here (less than 20% of Dutch are religious, that includes Muslims, Christians etc). Not better or worse, just different. So when you said:...go to Church...I honestly am amazed. Again: not because it is good or bad, but it is different and of course I know that is the case when I think of it a bit more. I wonder how it can be so different from here. I love how your kids are enjoying life, you push them to seek where their limits are (JUMP!) and it is great. But if you want to feel better, body and mind you need to push yourself too may be to try and get rid of unhealthy lifestyles (and I know it is hard!)? You share your experience on line. I think it is helpful for loads of people. Remain strong and keep up the good work!

Hello! Thank you so much for these tips! And I completely agree about the insurance being the ones to "decide" and "dictate" what's medically necessary for your child, which is so unfortunate here.

So I would think: the better preserved his/their musles are, the more can be done in the future. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Things that come to mind as a Northern European (Dutch and we are known to be very direct, AKA blunt): get rid of the fastfood. Get a healthy lifestyle: Take a brisk walk for 30-45 minutes every day. Eat veggies, loads of them. Get rid of cookies, potato chips, candybars, candies in general etcetc. You will feel much better, refreshed. It is also a lot better for your kids btw. Keep pizza etc for once per 2 weeks or per month. After 6 months to a year, if you keep it up, you won't miss them at all anymore. You will like your much better health in all likelihood. The American thing with unsurrance companies and how THEY, rather then your doctor, control what is needed for a (seriously) ill kid is mindboggling to a European. They can't do this over here. It is simple. You pay around 40-50 dollar per person per month and there are never any extra costs at all. If a medication costs 3 million and a kid needs it, than the kid gets it. Period. But of course not helpful for you....Just a notion. Many things in the USA are simply beyond most of us over here (less than 20% of Dutch are religious, that includes Muslims, Christians etc). Not better or worse, just different. So when you said:...go to Church...I honestly am amazed. Again: not because it is good or bad, but it is different and of course I know that is the case when I think of it a bit more. I wonder how it can be so different from here. I love how your kids are enjoying life, you push them to seek where their limits are (JUMP!) and it is great. But if you want to feel better, body and mind you need to push yourself too may be to try and get rid of unhealthy lifestyles (and I know it is hard!)? You share your experience on line. I think it is helpful for loads of people. Remain strong and keep up the good work!
Hello! Thank you so much for these tips! And I completely agree about the insurance being the ones to "decide" and "dictate" what's medically necessary for your child, which is so unfortunate here. It is mind boggling. It definitely sounds way more simple over there 🥰. And I appreciate the compliments about encouraging others to trust in God in these situations! And they really do enjoy life ♥️ 🤗 Thank you so much for watching.
My heart goes out to your family. Such an inspiration to find joy in everything.
Thank you so much 😊
What is the results
We give the updates in the video, thank you for watching.
Question, did you quarantine after infusion or before? I did see you had an outing. Or did you just see how your son felt that day?
We did take him out of school and quarantined for a week before the infusion to avoid getting sick. Post treatment we took it day by day based on how he was feeling making sure to sanitize so that he stayed healthy.
Oh my goodness your kiddos are too cute!! You mention that Jack is a little behind in his motor development. I wanted to recommend looking into a PX Doc Chiropractor. I think it could be super beneficial for even both kiddos. You guys are amazing parents!!!!
Thank you so much for the suggestion. We will look into this!
Was your son doing exon skipping before getting Elevidys?
He did not do exon skipping first. Luckily we were diagnosed the same month Elevidys was approved so we immediately pursued that. We are in the process of trying to get Jack approved for exon skipping!
LexSo when you go get the green patches and good one take care of his online banking pay off the truck and then he went back to him and then he can pull back in here at the Black Bear and then either day let’s get the kids ready Jackie know what
Looks like autcorrect got the best of your comment 🤣
I saw elevidys is working well for the older son. That is good to see! I hope you will follow up regularly so others can see what Elevidys can do for a kid. How old is the older child? It is btw not dystorphin but dystrophin, but that is a minor point. Good information!
Thank you so much! He is 5 years old and we will definitely continue to update his progress.
