This is off the subject of ALS but you folks are so comforting. Well I hate to say things were improving because we all know with this disease that just doesn't happen, but with new benefits approved for dad things are looking up from a help and care side. So that was kind of a bright spot if you can call it that. Then mom (the other half of my caregiving tag team) had a fall while on much needed vacation with friends. She had a pretty bad bruise on her face but is doing okay. She went for an already scheduled doctors appoinment and he insisted she have a CT scan of her head. It showed that she was fine from her fall and the bruising would slowly go away. However, it also showed what they feared to be a brain aneursym. She has been to for an MRI and sure enough there is one. She goes tomorrow to have an MRA done so they can get a more detailed look at it and determine if they are going to need to work on it. We are hoping that they will find that it isn't a problem, but if they decide they are going to have to work on it I guess I will have to look into respite care for dad until I can get her back home and settled because she would have to go out of town for that kind of proceedure. I guess I am just looking for prayers to get through this and stay strong for them both. Thanks in advance for your prayers and support!
