Well mil has passed away thursday November 23 after her tough struggle with ALS. Sil, mil and I have been visiting this site getting information to help us all deal with this horrible disease.
I want to thank all of you for all your help...this forum is a wonderful thing....
Mil was diagnosed with Bulbar als just last November although symptoms occured a year earlier.
Dh and I bought a house the was accesable for her in the spring but she only got to live with us a few weeks before she became 24hr care...something that we could not provide...as much as it pained us we had to move her into a nursing home. Sil would travel every week to be with her for 2-3 days over the weekend while dh and I were here for her during the week. Our three children (6, 4 and 2) loved there granny and the oldest is finding her own ways to deal with her grief.
My husband his sister and I were lucky enough to be with her in her final hours comforting her. She died peacefully with us around her. We are convinced that she waiting until sil could get there before she let go...
Again, thank you for having this site and helping much more people then you actually realize....an uncle of mine was diagnosed last year also and i told all his family about this forum and anyone else who needs it..
I still find myself reading the posts...maybe i can help someone else...
