Hello,
My mother who has ALS would like to travel from Toronto to Windsor in order to meet some relatives, which is roughly a 4 hour drive.
She is adamant that she will be fine through the travel time and will not get tired (she has lost complete mobility and her neck tilts to the side). I would like to take her to see our relatives, but my father who is the primary care giver is advising against travelling for such a long period while sitting in her wheelchair or car seat.
I was thinking of either taking my car or even getting a wheelchair accessible vehicle to take her to down to Windsor.
As individuals with ALS or PALS, what's your take on this. Could you kindly suggest any methods / tips that can assist in making this travel possible.
Thanks,
Sohail
