Hello all
My dad is the one with als and he is beginning to do things that I haven't noticed him doing alot like sleeping all the time and he has cold and hot flashes all of the time.I have also noticed that his feet and hands stay ice cold most of the time. He also make gurgling sounds all the time even when he is asleep. He complains alot about not being able to breathe well and he is scared to lay down at night. He is not scared of the thought of death, but seems to be scared of choking to death. I just don't know what I can do to help him or to comfort him. His largest fear is that he will choke to death and that my mom will find him back in his bed and be here by herself I know there is no way to predict what is to come but just wondering if there are people out there who have been through similar situations any insight would be great....
