Hi all,
My husband of one year has just been diagnosed with ALS. He is going to be 34 years old. It started with leg cramping and muscle spasms, limping, falling and now he has a leg brace and it helps somewhat, he is still walking. He feels twitching throughout his whole body and I am so scared that this is progressing faster than we know. It seemed to have started about 2 years ago. He was diagnosed 3 weeks ago. We have a four month old baby girl, she is our hope and I know she has helped us get past the last couple weeks. It is so hard to see my husband who is so strong, deteriorating before my eyes. And then I think of our daughter and it breaks my heart that she will have to go through all of this. My husband is putting on a strong front for the most part, but I know this is hurting him so much. We had our life planned and now it is being turned upside down. I know we have to just take one day at a time and that everyday I have with him and my daughter are so precious. I do wonder where we will get the strength and courage from.
