My son is deploying to Afghanistan, this will be his fourth tour (2 to Iraq - 1 to Afghanistan). He will be gone for a year. His dad recently was diagnosed with brachial amyotrophic diplegia. My son does not like to talk too much about his dad's condition but it is obvious that even though this B.A.D. can be slowly progressive that in a year from now he will have a virtually concave chest, a left arm that can not resist gravity, and severe right arm weakness. I think he will be surprised when he comes home to see the physical condition of his dad.
Has anyone else in this forum had to deal with deployments and members of their family with ALS/MND problems?
I was thinking of sending him photographs every few weeks under the guise of family photos...
