“I have enjoyed being a resource for families and also for clinicians around the country, emphasizing that this is NOT a terminal disease and that our patients do well with good medical management. I truly appreciate the willingness of our families to share their experiences with me so that I can relay these experiences to other families and clinicians.” -Amy R.U.L. Calhoun, MD
