We all need a friend.

Last year this time Emma did a program at her school called Marathon. They would run a mile and a half 2x a week until they had reached 26 miles. Last year Emma struggled to keep up was last to finish and didn't say it hurt to run just that she couldn't. I found this strange and talked to her pediatrician about it. She referred me to a neurologist. who did an MRI, who diagnosed her with her conditions. When it came time to do it again this year she had little desire to walk it when the other kids were running it. She wasn't going to do it this year until she did P.E. with a girl named Kaylynn, who is blind. Then we arranged for Emma to lead Kaylynn, and Emma was excited to have a friend to walk with. So together they have accomplished and received a medal at the UCLA stadium.
