Hello Everyone.
I have been visiting the site for the last few days, and am touched at the warm and kindness of people hearts that I decided this was the best place to look for a bit of support and guidance.
My Grandmother was diagnosed with ALS 2 years ago. Mother's day 2009. She is more than just my grandmother, She is my everything. She raised me since I was an infant, and has kept me safe my whole life. I moved away from her 5 years ago to the other side of the country, and have not been home in almost 4 years..... Thus I have not been with her since she was diagnosed, due to some financial issues and also recently just having a baby. I'm beating myself up and am feeling like a HORRIBLE person that I have not been there and now I fear she has taken a turn for the worse. She was taken to emergency, and has been diagnosed with pneumonia. I'm looking for the first available flight that I can get my hands on and that I can afford.
Can anyone give me some insight as to what pneumonia may mean for her and what are the chances that she will get through this? And maybe a little information as to what to expect when I see her? I'm sorry for the newbie questions I've researched ALS since she has been diagnosed, but I prefer to hear from people with experience.
Thank you so much and god bless you
