I remember finding this place about 4 years ago, when Mom was first diagnosed with ALS.. Not knowing quite what it was, or where it was going to end up. Mom is now 55 pounds, laying in a nursing home, with me sleeping beside her. I remember every stage we went through in the last four years, and now cry to myself, but what we thought was the end. Today they are hooking her up a pump, that will administrate a drug into her hour, and if she needs it, she can squeeze the pump for more every 30 minutes. My Mom is still smiling, as I sit beside her bed, holding her hand. Not knowing when she is going to leave this world. When Mom was diagnosed 4 years ago, never heard of anyone else having ALS, and now it seems to be more and more. We need to find a cure for this disease, and we need to raise more and more awareness and support for ALS. I know I come and go on this forum. And I apologize for that.. This is a great place to get info, share stories with loved ones and just open your heart.. I know I am babbling.. I am sorry for that.. I am mixed for words right now.. and just can't get them out as I should.. What I have learned about ALS.. is just stand behind your family member or friend with ALS.. and support them in any way or form that you can..God Bless YOU all..
