I was diagnosed in Feb. and have had such an outpouring of love and concern. People are flying out walk with me in the local walk next month. My wife's fear is that when our granddaughters get there and see some pALS that are farther along with vents and feeding tubes.
They know Papa has been disabled with a bad back all their lives (9,7 & 5). They know there are a lot of people loving and supporting us and having a big party. They have seen the Ice Bucket Challenge but don't know I have it or what it is. How would you guys tell them and how much? They are very smart but also very sensitive.
My son-in-law is a pastor and I know he can do a great job, but I wanted to hear from our community how we can "break" the news and encourage them.
Thanks in advance,
Doug
