Hi my husband was just recently given a 90% diagnosis of ALS in May of 2016. He has a dropped foot and his body twitches all the time. The reason the doctor won't give him 100% diagnosis is because he does not have a few of the normal symptoms.
The reason I'm posting in this forum is because I'm feeling very Los and unsure of what I should be doing as a wife and mother to our two children. Ages 10 and 7. Should I be planning vacations and living a luxurious life or continuing our day-to-day activities of work and school.? I don't know whether to cry or remain strong. Or just act and simple denial.
I'm not afraid that my husband will die because we are Christians and know that we will see each other again in heaven. I'm just sad to think that I could be living in this world without him and raising our girls without a dad.
Also we are not sure if we should fight the insurance company to get him to Cedars in LA or just settle for UCI Irvine. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I do have faith in the Lord that his plan is the right one for our family I just want to make sure that I am doing what is right for our family on a daily basis.
