Caregiver for my wife with ALS
Submitted by dwillia on Sun, 01/05/2014 - 01:53My wife of 45 years was diagnosed with ALS in August 2011. She feels she had it at least 1 1/2 years prior to being diagnosed. After the first year, she lost all use of her legs and is in a power wheelchair full time. Since then, she has lost all functions of her hands and arms, neck, ability to swallow and the ability to talk. She is fed thru a PEG tub and all of her meds go thru the PEG tube.
