Yesterday mom fell straight back from a standing position. She went back like a log and hit her head hard. We sent her by ambulance to the hospital. Nothing is broken but she has changed so much. She is not able to walk now. She has major muscle cramping on her legs, feet and butt. The only thing that seems to help is to give her 10mg of vallium. It is keeping her pretty out of it but at least she is not in pain.This als has been a rough road for us. We had a cathater put in as she is not able to transfer. Her decline lately has been quick. Yesterday she was walking around with her walker and today shecant move. Breathing is still declining. Does anyone know if a trama like this will actually speed up progression?
